One thing is definitely true: a year ago the phrase, "...but it's not really a tablet market, it's an iPad market" was so often used as to become annoying. I haven't heard that phrase in a few months.

Fortunately for men, there is no age limit Maybe. Some newer evidence shows older fathers are more likely to pass on genetic mutations. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000087239639044481270457760...

I don't know what it is about "side-projects". When I think about what I'm doing and why, it is rarely much different than any hobby I've had for as long as I can remember. But hobbies felt much less committal. Sure, I would get consumed by

The whole thing is starting to remind me a lot of conservative talk radio/TV. The clique of Apple tech pundit A-listers reliably delivers a predictable message to willing listeners/readers. They are not in general good tech reviewers IMHO,

The hook for me 15 years ago: seeing a Slashdot poll asking how many screws were actually screwed in on my computer case. I thought, "Wow... now these people are really on my wavelength."

More patents should reference Underdog: "Young children often need help to climb onto a swing and may need a push (sometimes even an "underdog" push) to begin swinging."

Good site. Some comments: - After a search or going to my profile, getting back to my dashboard should be more obvious. - "Fridge" is an odd term and icon for the want-to-try mark. - Can I submit beers? Looking forward to updates.

I'm talking about negative press towards Apple being a relative positive for Google. If in 6 months the first thing new iPhone users do is install the Google Maps app and hide the built-in Apple solution, then at least that portion of iOS 6

But it would also be a huge marketing win if Google Maps became the go-to mapping application despite Apple's version being a core application and one of the most trumpeted new features in iOS.

How often does someone think long and hard about A vs. B, pick one, and then regret it later? Sure it might have been the sub-optimal choice in hindsight, but we're not clairvoyant and often try to be thoughtful in our decision making. Can

Even if it is "actually the law for Apple to make as much money as possible" (please show me that law), over what time frame? It's not unreasonable that this aggressive policy could result in a diminished Apple image/reputation that could n

Definitely print the codes! As a newbie I didn't, and as luck (or a 1/30 chance) would have it, I forgot my phone at home the same day my 30-day login window expired at work. Not a huge deal but a bit of a PITA, and there really was no way
