This is untrue, but often assumed. Total iOS devices: 315M (as of 2012-03-07) Total Andriod devices: 300M (as of 2012-02-29) http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/07/tim-cook-talks-ios-device-s... http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/appsblog/20

So your argument boils down to: Tesla would be a true innovator if they only tried to convince us hedonist Americans that we should drive loud, uncomfortable vehicles? Gotcha. Count me on the other side. Tesla is slowly moving down market,

My own experience is that a son of a friend of mine goes to a high school that issued iPads 2 to all of their students. There was a deposit paid by the families. The students understand they're responsible if the iPad is lost, and so they a

I think you've wrongly inferred motives in both cases. MS, as always, is about the money. There have been many articles recently suggesting that MS might be making more money off of Android than Google itself. As proof, see willingness to l

Please explain "the details" which made it "even more absurd" to you. At what temperature would you start to assign responsibility to McDonalds? Can they, in your mind, give out boiling coffee without culpability? [edit: typo]

Of course no other nation has positioned themselves as policeman–they can't logistically or financially do it (though perhaps the US can't financially do it either...). It's certainly not from any internalized Prime Directive. If they coul

1. Significance of your statement? Surely you're not saying that brutal dictatorships are fine so long as they're not ignoring earlier "charter documents"... We don't grade on a curve here. 2. The OP point was that on a 'relative badness' s

App is nice, but pricing is out of control. Change all instances of "/ month" to "/ year" and you've got a customer. Or better yet, just charge 0.01$/scan in $1 increments, or $5 increments. Your top plan costs as much as my internet! I cou
