I didn't get that he was hinting at that. The problem is what Apple thinks is significant to the platform when they develop it versus when it's an outside developer.

Your definition of 'monopoly' is not helping your argument. Apple controls a very big portion of the handheld market and that portion is completely roped off by iTunes. Worse, if they see something they are doing, whether it&#x27

These are completely valid use cases. I think the problem with Siri is that it was billed as some insanely useful tool that would radically change how you use your phone. Obviously it's limitations outweigh it's strengths.

Apparently the plant poisoning in the movie (and postulated in the book) weren't correct. If you read the Wikipedia on McCandless[1] research into how he died has made it clear that it was just plain old rabbit starvation[2]. [1] http://e

I was originally going to post something similar about the Tim Ferris name drop and you beat me to it. I also don't get the point. His credentials seem very irrelevant to the app. I would rather see the names of the doctors who's researc

I had a similar idea to this about a year back and didn't get out of the feasibility stage. After crunching the numbers I just couldn't make it work as a free service. Maybe I wasn't doing it right, but the bandwidth of attachments become

Or they are just really smart thieves. Better to get caught with petty theft than grand theft auto. Also, maybe keeping the crime as just theft is keeping it under the radar - the cops aren't going to throw up any road blocks for that lev

As an American, I don't seem to understand Canadian currency at all. I've watched 'Love It or List It' on HGTV knowing that it's a Canadian show but the prices of the houses are all typically anywhere from $700k-$900k for 1600 to 1800 squa

Agreed, but the OP's point was that while obviously desirable it wasn't at the price that it currently stands.

Oh man, the Atari 5200. I'd almost forgotten. We didn't have a 2600 but my folks got duped into the 5200 being 'the next big thing'. I guess I should be grateful, without that failure my folks wouldn't of had a reason to buy the Commodor

I'll be honest, I don't understand the logic I need to get through the truth-teller/liar test since it isn't quite clear what I'm allowed to do. If you just want me to do a ton of embedded if/else statements, meh, I've lost interest. If th

I could use a checkbox to shut off the voice. It gets a little annoying after a while. Very nice. Somewhat fun and interesting. Xzoor isn't a very good guard if he's telling you specifics about your prison!

There are plenty of small to medium sized business where you get to learn and have an impact. I tend to favor those - I have the autonomy to contribute without the overhead of 6 different managers.

But coming to SF and floundering around is no better than aimlessly moving to LA to become a movie star. Not to be nit-picky but getting start-up experience isn't quite the same as going to casting calls while working at Olive Garden to m

The title is a little over-reaching. The software could've given a clearer image of a suspect which would've aided police in finding said suspect. Figuring out who actually placed the bomb in the first place was bottleneck #1 and probably

I feel you're just repeating industry misinformation. Industry misinformation or the actual laws for the states of Washington and Oregon, which follow countless other states and provinces in the Western US and Canada? You on the other ha

Snark aside, you are showing your spots and how little you know. Forks is not a pulp and paper town. It's a logging town. Thus, I didn't grow up in Forks. You're just plain wrong about automation, that isn't what is killing the pulp and

I care little what timber companies do with the land we gave them last century. But if they're cutting down OUR trees on OUR land, then they have to replant that acreage. If they can't do that profitably, then too bad. There is no right to

So obviously you didn't read my original post where I said I was talking about the US and Canada exclusively, which the parent comment was responding to. Go into Canada and the US and camp. Railroad logged anywhere from 150 to 100 years ag

Tree farms are not habitat. How is a 40 year old forest not habitat? My problem is when timber companies must extract every board foot from every acre, threatening critical habitat, from public forests. To add insult to injury, we (the

Lake Mead is artificial. It will 'ebb and tide' as those who control it see fit. Therefore, it's not a great indicator of environmental collapse.

I can't speak to the forest practices of S. America or other continents but regarding US and Canadian forest practices that article is complete FUD. First, it equates 'forest loss' to legitimate forest management - grow, cut, replant. Seco

I think for me what it comes down to is 'F U money'. I will feel successful when I have enough money earned and saved that any storm can be weathered, even if I decide to walk into said storm (leave via an 'F U', hence the name). It might

Is that really true? Avoiding spoilers apparently this most recent movie has proved otherwise. Vulcan being destroyed doesn't stop VGER and it doesn't stop the monolith. It probably does change the Klingons so maybe 'Undiscovered Country'

Let's talk about this thin wedge (hopefully without spoilers). I understand that this is a relaunch of the series but I think they did it wrong. It probably would've been blasphemy to throw it all out the door, and 'historically' the same

I know that he didn't receive any scarring externally. My point was that anything that can do things like that externally could have resulted in very bad things internally.

I was going to say that too - those Lichtenburg scar pictures that are linked don't look good. While they might seem 'cool' aren't those just 3rd degree burn scars? You have to wonder about the 3rd degree burns on the inside that you can'
