"It's really just a matter of time." Is it though? Shipments don't equal sales. http://daringfireball.net/2011/07/ipad_dominance

$1.2B for the acquisition, sure, but what about the money put into the development of the TouchPad, Pre 3, etc, in addition to the costs of distribution and marketing? Regardless, it does seem like they could still make a hefty profit off o

Almost fifteen years later, and that snarky statement is still the first thing I think of when someone mentions Michael Dell: http://news.cnet.com/Dell-Apple-should-close-shop/2100-1001_... Can't imagine how awkward a meeting between Jobs

I did confused Nortel and Novell. My mistake. The biggest issue I guess I have is that, in addition to causing a fair bit of confusion, David Drummond didn't do Google any favors by originally writing as if they were also excluded from be

But Google had the choice to be a part of the consortium, according to Microsoft's counsel. Assuming that invitation was indeed extended, how does that jive at all with what you just quoted?

"I never said it wasn’t OK for “Google to try and buy the same patents to not be sued.” Apple, Google, Microsoft, Oracle — they’re all playing the game. If Google had won the Nortel patents, and used those patents to secure licensing agreem

I guess this must be a talent grab. I haven't seen a more fluid, well-oiled app than Our Choice. The real question is, if Facebook's supposed iPad app is already close to launch, what's with the timing behind this?

As an Iowan, born and raised, I actually quite like "Silicon Prairie". This line really stuck out: "It's having the gumption to go do, rather than make excuses, which sets entrepreneurs apart."

Neat idea! Caught a small typo: next to the lock image on the homepage, it says "ever" in place of what I assume was supposed to say "never". "We ever misuse or sell any information you give us."

At 50:23 is the first time I've ever seen video of Jobs on the worse side what appears like a genuinely unpleasant, almost confrontational exchange. He keeps his cool though, and manages to sort of shift the contours of the conversation. R

Domain sitting in particular throws a wrench in what's already a consuming enough process. I'm hesitant to admit how much time I've spent thinking about names (versus time spent thinking about core features, supplementary details, future p
