Only if you think the entire design space has been explored. Sure, there's only so many ways you can package the same commodity components, but I don't think it's impossible to design a tablet that's distinguishable from an iPad from more t

Another way of looking at it is that 1 GB/s is about the bandwidth of PC133 RAM that was commonplace about a decade ago.

Meanwhile, in reality: Let me be clear, though: there is nothing wrong with playing a video in Flash. I mean that seriously, no sarcasm. What there’s something wrong with is requiring Flash Player to play video. That’s the whole point of t

You are mistaken. It is saying that copyright applies to a user interface insofar as elements of it are subject to copyright on their own, but that "a user interface" is not itself expression, not itself subject to copyright. If you copied

I think that at issue is not the intentions involved, but the side effects. What many people are actually doing when they think they are "spreading knowledge" is just glorified gossip[1]. Not because people intend to, but because it's just

I agree strongly that Amazon needs to make this clearer in their emails an admin pages (listing earnings that don't exist is terrible ) but as far as their agreement goes, I think you are mistaken. Section 2.a. of the Amazon Appstore agree

Bin Laden stopped publicly denying responsibility at least as early as 2004. You're free to disbelieve that but don't ignore it in your haste to convince others. You might find that it has the opposite effect from the one you intend. And a

The article does not say the Saudis weren't offered the body. In fact it implies they were: Did the Saudi government have any interest in taking the body? “Your plan sounds like a good one,” the Saudi replied.

I found Doug Rushkoff's Cyberia to be an effective substitute for having properly witnessed that era. It has the advantage of not being a look back, but a look around. I get the sense, in flipping through it again now, that a historical l

I don't know precisely how it works in Scotland, but presumably they had evidence sufficient to obtain a warrant for the arrest. Are you really saying the police should have to prove guilt before arresting suspects?

I don't think you understand the math there. Unless competitors claw their way up to Apple-like margins, market share (or share growth) will decline much faster than profit share will. Even if profit share declines, that doesn't mean that

Certainly not I. But there is a line somewhere between "biased reporting" and "juvenile pandering" that I keep seeing sites prance back and forth over, perennially indecisive about whether they want to be real grown-up news or not, to the d

I can understand disagreeing with the premise. I don't understand citing lack of evidence and then making the claim that it is is "extremely unlikely" based also on no evidence. That's a very whimsical notion of probability. It seems far si
