Well, you are changing the subject of conversation. This is the second time that a fairly minor accident (nothing like the Mexican crash) resulted in a fire because of the placement of the battery. If the Tesla were gas powered, it is almos

So in order to preserve a small minority who have somehow carved out a working system (which I'll assume exist despite never seeing them) in the overwhelming onslaught of vitriol and crap, we just have to deal with said vitriol and cra

YouTube comments have long been reviled as the worst of the worst the internet has to offer. I don't know why people seem to want the status quo.

PR, despite the bad rap it gets as bullshit, is not worthless. Apple, Microsoft and their cohorts proudly try to create a public perception that software patents are essential and deserved. Google has done the opposite by trying to get the

I just don't buy that everyone is equally a bad actor here. Even if we take for granted that Google are two faced liars who secretly love patents, their public messaging is completely different. Google repeatedly has come out against t

Aren't those pretty much the exact same conditions as last year's quarter? iPhone 5 release: September 21, 2012. iPhone 5s/5c: September 20, 2013. And both had supply issues at launch. It seems fair to compare the quarters an

I don't think anyone thought making it G+ only would stop spammers (that would only be slightly less ridiculous than thinking G+ comments only would solve world hunger). They thought it would make it is easier to verify.

I give Musk a bit more credit than most CEOs, but he has also shown himself to be very capable of playing the spin game in the press recently (the funky math on the 'new finance product', declaring that the NYT backed off its Tesl

I guess that is a reasonable argument, but it was not at all what I got from your original post. Obviously all the features must be considered in concert under the umbrella of "user experience" but that is also nearly impossible t

And if anyone had said the Kindle was better, this snark would be relevant. But this is clearly a discussion of tablets' weight and whether the iPad Air's weight is a significant advance.

All the messaging I have been getting from Valve is it is a no compromise controller.

Sounds like a lot like the old Readability (except with a hard paywall instead of donation model). I liked Readability idea in concept, but it didn't exactly take off.

I am not seeing what relevance this story has to patent disputes.

I would be very surprised if it is that high now even with the early adopter skew. Reports say that last year it was around a quarter of smartphone users use passcode locks on their work phone ( http://www.welivesecurity.com/

Seems like an argument for a sensible trial system, not IAP. I've got no problem with using IAP for a sensible trial system, but it is much more commonly used for smurfberries.

It is about knowing who is responsible. Part of the deal of renting is your contract is with a single entity who takes the lion share of the responsibility: the landord/management corp. You trust them to vet the people who rent alongsi

Well, that interpretation of the article ignores how Deidu was constantly saying it is unlikely these conditions would come to be (he says "unlikely" that Android licensing will beat Windows Phone's licensing, Android dominat

There aren't too many businesses where the customer is asked to take the business' health in mind when it comes to purchasing. Your lack of planning is not my problem and such. The real issue is there is a mindset of unlimited fre

The "paying money" is just the means of the "hack", not the "hack" itself. The hack is recognizing that there is a great, targeted opportunity to keep your product in customers' minds on one of the biggest

If a person did this, it would be the kind of thing they would answer for the "successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage" question on the YC application.

The line between a watch saying "Hey look here, I'm freakin' rich" and "I'm a douchebag with a ridiculous-looking watch" would seem to be both in the eye of the beholder and razor thin.

Could be way off, but I find the idea that people are opting out of Android due to dessert names very unlikely. Seems roughly equivalent to OS X (recently retired) cat names and I don't remember people staying away from Mac cause snow

So you are just going to ignore the vast majority of the history of medicine? Or do you regularly check up on your humor levels? Medicine, and science in general, is constantly re-evaluating and often finding they were wrong.

I don't see how targeting children with an adfree product with the stated intention of turning them into lifetime Bing users (with ads) is improving on Google's creepiness.

And my point is that Microsoft's article fails to convince me of that. I am sure the image Google would like the public to have about their openness and the reality don't match up, but in this particular case I fail to see any Goo

The article makes it seem like Google was working with Microsoft on allowing a Youtube app until Microsoft said they didn't want to play by Google's rules and published an app anyway. I don't think being open means you have t

This has always been somewhat true, but this is a definitive sign open has lost all meaning. Now it means you have to allow third parties to use your resources to do what they like?

I think the Reader shutdown is actually an example of why I am fine going into the Google ecosystem. Marco talks a lot about lockdown, but I haven't experienced it. Reader's shutdown was pretty abrupt, but I am happily using The O

Well, let's yell at Google when they do that. As it is written it seems go out of the way to address use case. If they just wanted to just go after heavy users indiscriminately, they wouldn't take care to say that they won't
