If Apple doesn't respond, Congress can begin an investigation into Apple and/or write a law regulating the matter.

Yes. The API should be updated now to require a permissions modal before an app can access your address book. I'm actually shocked this wasn't built in to the SDK from day one.

I've never been able to get used to an ergonomic keyboard. But I should see if I can try a demo of the one you recommend. Thanks!

It plays into the caricature of Apple customers being holier-than-thou cultists. I can tell you it bothered me as an iPhone user since v1.

The same people were convinced in 2008 that housing prices would still go up. Not that they're necessarily wrong this time, but I would maintain skepticism.

No, but that would be tough on the current iPad as well, given the relatively low resolution compared to printed books.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Apple actively manufactures or sells the first generation iPad.

In landscape mode it should be able to fit a decent sized chart or table on screen.

Writing a paper would be an enormous pain. Typing text is fine, but editing is frustrating. Selecting text with your finger is imprecise, pasting is finicky, and jumping around a document quickly is pretty tough.

"The same could be said about DMCA, when it was passing. It just made everyone used to even more abuse." Bingo. Stopping legislation before it gets passed is the way to go. It's extremely difficult to get laws rescinded or overridden. And

There are some good replacements floating around the web. The one I think best matches the aesthetic of Sublime Text 2 is here: http://dribbble.com/shots/337996-Sublime-Text-2-Icon

"That's not what I would recommend at all. There's no guarantee a project will resolve those issues or that new ones will crop up." Also, Google probably figured the tool they chose would have a bright future considering Google's prominen

It was for a front-end design/programming position.

This was a few years ago, but I was given a brain teaser/game where I had to find the differences between two sets of Google doodles. It was supposed to prove I had attention to detail.

I'd pay double, maybe even triple the regular price of streaming rental (~$5) to see movies at home on the day of release.

I don't so much mind seeing trailers before a movie. It seems like a tradition, and trailers can be fun to watch. However, ads for other stuff like cars, or soft drinks cheapens the experience. I'm at a damn movie theater, don't remind me t

I actually find it very difficult to watch Jurassic Park these days. The CG has not aged well at all. With Ghostbusters, the effects look terrible in a few scenes (the claymation dogs spring to mind), but it's not so jarring in the context

One quibble, in 2002 people weren't texting like mad on their bright white 4+ inch smartphone displays.

Hard to argue with anything Ebert says in that article. As a kid I loved going to the theater. I tried to see a movie every time I had a free weekend. However, these days going to the movie theater gives me an immense amount of anxiety. Des

I'm not sure why this would be a doomsday scenario. PC parts manufacturers gladly let you download drivers from their websites for use on any computer with a variety of operating systems. In the end, don't parts manufacturers need Android m

Google could change the licensing terms to require free distribution of the drivers.

It seems like the perfect opportunity for a hardware vendor to separate themselves from the crowd. "Buy our hardware and be assured software updates for 2 years."

It was annoying enough that my computers eventually became too slow to run the newest versions of Windows/Ubuntu/Mac OS. I can't imagine the the frustration Android users must feel to be denied updates not because of obsolete hardware but b

True. However politicians are the ones who make the rules. And no politician wants to be left holding the bag if a terrorist attack does happen. They want to be seen as having done everything possible even if what they are doing isn't effec

That's my understanding as well, but they could try some surreptitious methods that would stop shy of using an actual jammer.
