I think it's fair to posit that cheap cloud storage space will meet/outpace smartphone storage space, to the point where simply imaging the entire phone to the cloud is easy enough. Even if you lose your phone, you authenticate a new one an

I think it's a little early to say that Windows 8 will only make for an adequate tablet interface. Windows Phone shows they know what they're doing when they put their heart into it. I don't think Apple wants to sell desktops at all. I thin

No it doesn't, it backsup your Macs over wifi, and that's all it does. It won't access web services, which is they key point I was trying to make. The Time Capsule, and all home backup devices I can name, make the soon-to-be-outdated assump

I hadn't considered the battery aspect. Having a wire would kill this in the consumer market. Bluetooth to a central pack... Maybe.

This isn't what they're proposing. What they're saying is that Android will be on the touchscreen, and Ubuntu will available on the main screen. Presumably, Ubuntu apps will be given access to Android's data store and events, but Ubuntu app

Backup device manufaturers are really missing out on big bucks by not making a small NAS that downloads all you cloud data. Give it access to Google/Dropbox/Flickr etc an have it silently back everything up. I hope they've thought of this a

Because Apple had said multiple times that they fundamentally don't believe in a one device world. Tablets are tablets, desktops are desktops. Mixing the two bastardizes both. Microsoft doesn't agree, and Win8 is a hybrid that supports both

It seems to me that Apple doesn't think that the Mac is a segment it needs at all. I would place money on Apple killing the Mac within 10 years, moving all consumers to iOS (which, let's face it, they're doing all by themselves), and releas

A feeling that I'm not buying the same OS each year. Personally, I think Microsoft's strategy of bringing back the hybrid desktop/tablet, where you can do tablet-type things on the road/in bed, then drop it into a dock and go back to mouse

I know it's not a popular opinion, but yet again I feel like Apple has decided to simply keep status quo with Mac OS X, which is very much the same Mac OS X we got from about 10.3 onwards (Panther, wasn't it)? Think about how different Ubun

Having gone back to Things after walking in the ToDo wilderness for a year or two (the lack of cloud sync was killing me), it seems to me that there is a necessary complexity to real ToDo list organization which Things' GTD-inspired inter

I've only delved into really writing JS for the last couple of weeks, but a number of tutorials basically said that objects are dictionaries and vice versa, you just got some nice syntax and you can plug function in as values. If that was

It's Tim Schafer going back to a game genre where he produced games that people (rightly) have an undying love for. The only surprise with this is that you wonder why he didn't do it already.

I had a conversation in an airport holding lounge once with some random guy, as I was annoyed that I had personally lost weight, but paid extra because my bags were a kilo too much. He told me that in one of the Indonesian countries, you si

After finally getting over my fear of client-side programming, I finally built a project in JS last week. I feel exactly the same as you: Javascript, as a language, just does nothing to help you. You've done a better elucidation of it than

* Is it because they don't make shiny boxes to put on the wall of your home?* Well, yes, that's exactly what he's saying, because that's exactly the market Nest is targeting. What's your point?

Yeah, I've been trying to bang into the heads of the students that I TA that "there is no test data - only fake data." Test data always seems, to me, to mean meaningless junk. Names like addresses to Dicksville, IL do nothing but accidental

The thing I like about fish is the easy history nav. I type "git" and press Up, and I get to go through my history of anything that started with "git" very quickly. I'll often remember I typed an svn command three weeks ago, but forget the

I'm not sat there reading the book; I'll look at the table of contents, skim bits that I think might be useful, and then have to make a judgement call. With Amazon, I get the TOC, I get reviews that tell me whether the book is any good or n

This is an oddly "poor publishing cartel!" story, which has echoes of our friends at the MPAA and the RIAA without the venom, but a good helping of the cynicism. Let's see if I have this straight: The long and short of the article is that e

Can you expand on why? I keep seeing people say that they'll miss bookstores, but I can't imagine what they'll miss. Bookstores are very inefficient. Ordering books they don't have is a pain. You literally have to judge a book by its cover,

I'd love this too. A bit of clicking around discovered a company in the UK that does this, but it couldn't look more shady [1]. I'd happily pay USPS $50 a year for such a service, which is certainly a lot more than they'll get in stamps fro

I wouldn't say either of these statements are true. This is a DVCS doing what it should do: the source is easily distributed across multiple platforms. That's not a white flag, that's just embracing the technology. Remember that Google is s

From my reading of the book (and the exerpt you have mentioned here), I'd agree that System 2 is in play when looking at the Timeline; it does create some cognitive load. However, I can't remember anything backing your assertion that System

Yeah, this was posted at 10:30 MTV time, so there wasn't enough time for head office in MTV to figure out what's gone on and what to do/say about it yet.

I was in the first intake of the "new" style A-Level system, where 4 or 5 AS-Levels were taken in year one, then 3 A-Levels taken forward to year 2. I dropped CompSci at AS-Level after seeing what a joke it was (took English, Maths and Phys

(I'm the author of the original blog post/algorithm) For Google, this makes sense, although I see now it's a weird idiosyncrasy outside of the Googleplex :) Google has changes all year round, so "now" always represents a day of some changes

I think it's worth mentioning that it's highly unlikely Google is deaf to these complaints. It is, after all, why the Nexus line exists, which does seem to be supported for updates for the two year upgrade cycle. One thing that hasn't been
