The Paleo diet is not exactly mainstream science, so I don't think that's neither here nor there in relation to this article. This seems to be a good summary of what refined carbs are: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/glossary/g/refinedcar

Isn't this healthy by the same rationale that fat is unhealthy? Assuming that glucose intake is good because it's what the body transports around as energy (I assume that's the basis on which one would call glucose 100% healthy) sounds a lo

This doesn't seem to be the ideal backdrop for more offshore drilling.

I'm not sure I agree with the implication that said devices are to blame for this sort of thing. A lot of this problem is just as, or if not even more prevalent in old media. One could argue that more convenient Internet access helps solvin

Even so, blaming Joe Average for not having the correct settings in Tweetdeck when he's retweeting is hardly a viable way to fix it. New users expect software to do the right thing, which it obviously isn't in this case. Besides, the functi

People in Europe usually have the VAT included in the advertised price, so I can see how people would be getting their hopes up when seeing the american prices.

Hover doesn't work well with touch based interaction, which is all the rave these days, I hear. I like the idea of showing them separately somehow, though.

I agree that bit.ly aren't being cool about this, clearly they should fix it. On the other hand, you could say that Tweetdeck is actually being stupid in a pretty major way. I have a hard time imagining this scenario occuring without the he

How about putting some of the blame on Tweetdeck? Shouldn't "short enough" links be allowed to stay intact?

I used to do Django development just around when 1.0 came out. Even though the new features section doesn't seem huge, the release docs for 1.2 kind of makes me want to revive some of my old projects again!

I remember rummaging through the menus to find the menu item where one could do that to... To make matters worse, they had one "Options..." and one "Settings..." in the same menu, and I never remembered which one had those settings in it, s

When it comes to playing music and sync I still feel it works as expected, even though I wouldn't mind a speedier experience. Of course, I have been using it since version 3 sometime, so I'm used to it by now. Where iTunes really feels inco

The calculator app doesn't look like that now, though, even though it's clearly inspired by it. I believe I have seen that design on the iPhone before, but when I bought my 3G two years ago, I believe the buttons were square and the '='-but

"biggest change" to the net "since it was invented 40 years ago"? Methinks not. Although on the more fundamental DNS level I can imagine they have a point.

Apart from the fact that I believe this is a horrible, horrible idea (MS Office used to this to me with the menu items, worst idea ever) I believe there are more pressing matters to attend to when it comes to iTunes.

I don't think the iPad browser experience is going for the "leaning forward" kind of browsing. It's going for the "leaning back" approach to browsing you do while lounging in the couch. The tabs aren't as important there, although I would o

I am sure you're right, but I believe you're not taking the "learning how a mouse and keyboard works, what the difference between clicking and double-clicking is" into consideration, as most people have used computers enough to already know

The same thing is pretty much true on the iPhone as well. In theory, it keeps pages in memory, but in my experience it reloads the page way more often than I would prefer. It is definitely on my wish list for future Safari updates, once the

The entire device doesn't have to use swap for Safari to save the state of a particular "tab" to disk.

Well, in fairness, picking out which pages he wanted to read was one of the scenarios in the article, so even though your point is valid, Instapaper would solve that particular part of the problem.

Seems the human mind is wired to be sensitive to the concept of fairness. From what I understand it's been observed in chimps as well. At any rate, people see giving out things for free after they themselves paid for it as unfair, and most

Huh? Just a link to a YouTube-clip? Maybe it's just the HTML5 beta talking, but it looks like it usually does. Maybe a link to a page where someone talks about the changes would have been more informative? Unless the small horse video is wo

I agree with you on liking OSX. On the other hand, I'd rather see them put out a great 10.7 when they have been working on it properly, than just putting something half-finished out there despite their current focus on getting the iPhone pl

I hope HP gets WebOS to be a big enough player to mean great things for innovation in the mobile device space going forward. Gotta love competition as a consumer!

I believe it would be good to look at stuff that is considered well-designed, analyze it and try to understand why it's considered to be well-designed before randomly coming up with stuff in Photoshop.

Well, the only way we know that to have happened is via Gizmodo's account of what the guy who sold it to them said. I'm not saying he didn't, but we've hardly gotten irrefutable proof that it actually happened. It is, after all, in the guy'

Isn't the only account of exactly what happened based on hearsay from some guy who sold lost/stolen property to Gawker for $5,000?

No, because it's not about the initial purchase price. It's about having your stuff crammed into a piece of hardware, and for most people being dependent on that stuff being readily accessible. That's why the "it just works" attitude is ver

The US market should be a good indicator on how many units will be sold in other regions, I suppose. Plus sending over a few thousand units to Europe would probably just increase frustration about it not being available when they were sold
