"Obviously stolen"? Where is this reported as being true? And even so, would it have made a difference to you if it was on Wikileaks instead? Be careful what you're choosing to condemn in your support of Apple.

What's the big diference between government secrets and company secrets? Just that one is more tawdrier and of less consequence? These days companies are getting so unaccountable to anyone that I'd rather not have reporters make any such di

Your articles seem to follow a theme of "no new ideas/breakthroughs". The anecdote of the NASA head imploring people to come up with ideas was striking. Any guesses as to why this is happening now? After all, we _were_ having critical break

Maybe so, but I think it's different this time. Would you be able to walk into a Apple store again and buy something there knowing that this was a company that ordered the goons to break down the doors of some guy's house? Face all those ch

What a turnaround! Just a few days ago everyone was highly sympathetic towards Apple losing one of their most valued secrets (not really all that much though) and boycotting Gizmodo and everything. Now with even Jon Stewart mocking them, ca

I dont think so. All the big sites are converting to HTML5 now since the highest paying audience is on the iPad. New features will be targeted to that market first as well. The flash audience will be second class citizens. But with users ne

It can be beneficial to all "participants" but disastrous to society as a whole, can it not? Look at the current rage against free market instruments like CDOs and other complex unregulated derivatives. Are you really claiming we dont need

Ok, so what else is it? My understanding that the new Go language is not officially called object-oriented because it supports only interfaces and not inheritance or type hierarchy.

It's amazing to me that the guy actually changed his mind on the issue. It's like getting some Vatican Cardinal to convert to atheism.

Russia Today (live video feed: http://rt.com/On_Air.html ) and France24 (live feed on the site: http://www.france24.com/fr/ ) also do a credible job. RT is a bit suspect when it comes to Russian govt. issues however. Actually, since the

Hmm, I've not seen anything like that in payments I've made using them. Only used them for the past year or so and generally like their services (including their branch-less b2 service)

If that's a genuine incident you're talking about, you could try contacting Shashi Tharoor (the local MP, who's on Twitter and seems very accessible) to see what can be done for the future. Nothing's going to change if you don't atleast tr

Rediff and Indiatimes are the swamplands of online stores. Hesitant to even provide them my email-id leave alone banking details. Not sure what issues you have with ICICI. I find them to be excellent. Not seen any captchas on their site. I

Yes, quite a few items this past year or so. No issues with any so far. Most items have been books, ps3 games or supplements in the 500 to 3k range, so nothing past 5k yet. Not too sure about insurance, but companies like DHL/BlueDart shoul

Customs is terrible only because people don't want to pay the actual customs duties as set by the government and will try anything possible to avoid paying including indulging in corruption.

Sorry, that's just wrong. Delivery systems in India are pretty good in most cities and online stores are a dime a dozen (nothing as dominant as Amazon however). There are even sites which deliver direct from the US (pretty much everything a

My guess is China and/or India will come up with their own solutions for transition and the rest of the world will be forced to follow that. It will probably represent a defining moment in history of the internet, when leadership passes fro

If you want to follow that thought through, the future us would probably like higher fidelity of their memories and recordings, approaching real life quality. The limiting factor in doing this is likely the energy consumption (and in many o

The other way to look at it is, technology is delivering into the hands of individuals the ability to do what only governments could do earlier. Thus you have Burt Rutan and other ragtag teams able to compete in the new space race to LEO an

Surprisingly tame. Any American radical left-winger would probably have come out with much more damning statistics and anecdotes. Pity that the only response this will get in the US is possibly a derisive snort from the White house press se

Unless I'm mistaken a majority of Chinese actually support their government and matters such as this are viewed through the prism of nationalism. One could argue it's because of the education/brain-washing but the facts remain.

Highly unlikely that a German company will be able to muster a global mass market audience. They just don't think that big. Apple is not going to be too worried of losing their base over something that's likely of the same quality as a wind
