Thanks. At least there's some indication that it's getting better. Too bad the providers have to degrade the experience with their crap, instead of just providing additional apps if they feel it's necessary.

I have to say, I was experiencing a shitload of disk thrashing on my iMac, and eventually decided to replace the drive. So I did the whole ridiculous suction-cup routine (yeah, that's Apple "elegance") and replaced the drive. Problem resol

One suggestion: Revise your list of browsers with inspectors to indicate what they are. The newcomer will look at that and think they need to download a tool called "Safari Stable". It most likely should be something like "Safari (stable bu

"ICS has been out for months, and the providers are completely dragging their feet on it." Can anyone explain why this is such a problem? Does Android not have a proper hardware abstraction layer or driver model that would allow OS updates

If Apple were interested in serious gaming on iOS devices, they would've put application-assignable buttons on their edges. We all know that didn't happen, so now they have the hokey volume-control workaround for the camera's shutter rele

You don't "grow" a relationship or a company, any more than you "exist" a relationship or company. You build it. You nurture it. You foster it. It grows.

Ha, you're right: GoDaddy would and DOES rip off customers and screw them by capriciously pulling their domains: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/03/godaddy-silence In support of your (and my) point: Local storage is now dirt-cheap,

These sites (Google, Facebook) pull shit like this and then hide from their users. People need to think things through before uploading all of their stuff to "the cloud." The network is a transmission medium, not a place to keep things. I

"it presents a much better experience when viewing videos" How? You hear this same claim all the time, never with any explanation. It's not as if you're LOSING pixels or screen size watching video on a 4:3 tablet. They're simply going un

WTF? How did this bizarre resolution even become an accepted "standard"? It emerged with plasma TVs of five years ago or so, and was baffling then. After that, it started showing up on netbooks. Now it's the most common?
