If the first public impression is that Glass is awkward and half-baked it will be very difficult for Google to generate mass market appeal. It happened with the Newton, famously mocked on The Simpsons. Apple refined the hell out of the iPho

Eat up Martha, or how Google may learn a hard lesson of the 90s. You only get one shot at a first impression.

I like Ars, but today's Ars is less Anandtech and more Verge. Which is to say, they indulge in their fair share of link-baity gadget-blog-type posts. They're not beyond redemption by any means, but the sad truth is that Ars doesn't always d

Apple's early support for HTML5 audio/video tags is worlds better than the contemporary alternative. It seems plausible to me that without Apple's refusal to support Flash the audio and video tags would never have taken off. Isn't the open

Google Glass is new Google. It's a walled garden that requires a Google server to function. It's more of a greenhouse, really...

Nor HMDs. I want all three of these things to become mature, affordable products. I don't really want any of them from an advertising company.

If Google is paying Apple $1B/yr to be the default search engine on iOS, it stands to reason that Samsung could negotiate similar per device rates. That seems like enough potential upside for this to be a no-brainer to me.

I know it's insane of me to suggest this, but Apple has pretty broad support for many open standards. Most iCloud services utilize open standards, they created WebKit, they broke Flash's grip on the web, they contribute to a lot of importan

Jailbreaks exploit security holes, but you currently need physical access and the passcode off to jailbreak.

I believe the key is that it was removed by the author. Apps that are pulled for violating the App Store rules don't show up in Purchased, to my knowledge. I know I have a couple IPAs floating around just in case I need an emergency tether

It makes a lot of sense to me now. The adapter is tied to iOS's supported video formats. If it will play on the device, it will play on the adapter. The downside being that mirrored content has to go through the not-awesome encoder (at leas

After careful parsing of Apple's specs languag, I now believe that mirroring from sub 1080P devices (iPad mini, iPhone, iPod touch) is limited to 1600x900 but that 1080P video playback works (presumably without lame encode artifacts). It ap

Hopefully it's in pursuit of a connector that's somewhat forward & backward compatible for the next decade. It would be nice to learn more about Lightning. In particular the 1600x900 limitation is irritating. It'd be reassuring if this
