Exactly. And, if you don't already have the Cloud Player application on your computer, you're shown nothing and told to sign up online. No link, no further explanation. Okay, except you can't actually sign up online. Sear

Nothing in Apple's recent history suggests this is true. Think of the recent kerfuffle over Final Cut; they had no intention of continuing to sell the older version even though the new one was feature incomplete. It is highly likely that,

IMHO a computer that is usable within the hour by a one year old goes far beyond "wow factor" and well into contribution realm.

You make a key point. When you think of the original iPod or the iPhone or several of the iMac designs, you most likely first think of the striking physical design of the device. The "Jony Ive" effect, if you will. But each of these is and

Wouldn't you first have to know that the passphrase consists of four randomly chosen words (eg not three, five, or eight)? To me, that's the underlying strength of the approach that the comic (!) is trying to highlight.

Presumably it's considered useful because there's a measurable error rate in the nurse a) reading -and/or- b) recording the observed data. Assuming this thing works properly more often, you've not only guaranteed you get the data entered pr

In fairness, it's worth noting that Readability app is Instapaper; it's just been repackaged. http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/05/instapaper-readability/

Also worth noting that non-app solutions do exist. [NextBus]( http://www.nextbus.com/ ), for instance, includes both a web interface and an SMS-based query centered around texting it your stop number.

Gruber has made definite predictions based on Verizon's ability to move iPhones (one example among others): http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/12/09/verizon-iphone In that case, either they sell a million on day one or they don't (this

What has always interested me in this vein is the intersection between Jobs' own "Real artists ship " and his obvious and well documented details-oriented perfectionism. It seems to me the real power of Jobs intellect is in that ability to

I doubt very seriously that next year will be the "Mac centric" year as Jobs states; but I'd guess it will at least still be there , and may well be more of a focus...or at least 50% of the focus. Seems to me that, of the two branches, iPh

Yep. I also think it's a function of the location of the two apps. For whatever reason I find myself switching between apps on pages (say) 1 and 4. A surprisingly large hassle after a few switches. Yes, I could move one for a while to get a

People tend to think it's a lot more of the federal budget than it is: "For example, in 1997 the average estimate of NASA's share of the federal budget by those polled was 20 percent." From http://bit.ly/aAg7I3 Er, try 0.58%. But this mis
