Well first, and I mean this with minimal disrespect, but you clearly have a hero worship thing going here (see your last sentence). So you really have a bias of your own. On your point, there are still people on the floor if you don't beli

This is just an ad hominem attack as far as I can see. He links to two things to support his point but neither actually do 1. "Boskin's Obama Crash" But when you follow that link you find the article he was pointing to was an opinion pie

This was inevitable. Talk radio makes its money off of firing people up which works best when the other party is in power. That's why Rush Limbaugh rose to prominence during the Clinton administration. Since Air America was already falte

Nice data. I'd like to see it updated for a few months. I suspect if you do that you'll see the numbers are even higher than this shows. I think a lot of people go in and out of activity as their off-line life becomes more or less compli

I think you're taking this too seriously. Conan could likely buy Revision 3 with about half his NBC payout (if it's around what has been reported). Compete puts Revision3's uniques around 110,000 while Conan regularly averaged 2.8 million

I think smartphone users, particularly those on Android, need to give Voice Recognition a serious look. It's one of those technologies that has quietly gotten better and better in the background even after a lot of people wrote it off. I u

I don't dispute the conclusions in this article nor do I think the U.S. is trying hard enough to build its Internet infrastructure. But these comparisons are a little unfair. If you take the top 2 countries in speed (South Korea and Japan

I think people who believe tablets are going to replace the PC are missing the point. One of the big concepts we're building at my work is the idea of devices that are designed around limited input scenarios. In other words we believe ther

It's not a secret that Apple has been working on a Tablet for years (many of the iPhone's innovations have their origins in those attempts). So prototypes exist. The question is whether Apple is ready to release an actual product. Ask you

I'd honestly ask yourself whether you're willing to walk away from an offer if what the guy says is bad. If you are than talk with the guy. If not than I wouldn't. Because he's going to be bitter. So you're going to learn a lot of bad st

All the graphs have links to full size versions and the size in the article itself is dictated by the site (since the side bar is clearly mandatory) So I don't quite no what your problem is.

Yes, because driving an SUV and eating at McDonalds are really where our concern should be. The truth is you're no better than the anti-drug, terrorism mongers. Rush Limbaugh tells them to fear terrorists so they line up to do it while NPR

I'm just replying to draw attention to your very important point. There is content and there is methodology. Texas might be teaching backwards content but the question this series of articles has been raising is whether the methodology us

Yes, that's from the Sculley era and Jobs would rather set himself on fire than use anything from that era of Apple's history.

One of the things you have to consider is Apple's strategic goals beyond the Tablet or even the iPhone. There's a larger strategic issue here. HTML 5 is going to reduce a lot of the need for Flash and Flash in turn is going to be forced ba

I agree with the article. There are three choices for the Tablet: iPhone OS, Desktop OSX or a whole new variant. It makes no sense to me for Apple to expend effort on adapting a whole new OS and Desktop OSX just isn't suited for the table

"When a site gets large enough, "culture" doesn't work any more. There are too few "trainers," and newbies don't wait to learn. Hence anything not enforced by the software pretty much doesn't work." I don't think that's inevitable. As the

I don't disagree with the post but I think this kind of discussion is largely pointless. The media loves to say "That is dead" because it makes a good headline. But it doesn't mean anything. An example: how many years has it been since pe

Most important part of the article... "But there’s one question at the top of the list, the answer to which is the key to answering every other question. That question is this: If you already have an iPhone and a MacBook; why would you want

I didn't see much insight here. It was the typical liberal "00 was the decade of Bush and Bush is bad" with a little social media admiration mixed in. The truth, I think, is that the last decade was simply a hard one and George Bush was ju
