It's quite obvious the specialists always makes more as employees and consultants in a particular field. Just think of it this way, you're the cook of the family, you make simple databases in Access, and do some bookkeeping. Would you make

You know what Gruber didn't mention that's supposedly on the schedule? OS X Lion. There's not much to say about it I guess. But it could be the first system update distributed over the App Store.

Any opinions on Walter Isaacson's other biographies and journalistic talents? I enjoyed Steven Levy's In the Plex quite a bit. Although authorized, it was very insightful and reasonably balanced without too much Google worship. If iSteve is

I'm not sure if it works anymore. But with the App Store you can download on anyone's device after you pay for it once. For example, I buy Angry Birds, and then I log in on your phone and install Angry Birds on it as a free update. Then I l

This is a pretty heavy handed interpretation. Sure, the definition of agriculture is humans messing with the genetics of plants and animals. Since the first seed was replanted, we have been involved in a process of selecting and mixing desi

I wrote this elsewhere, but Elop betting it all on Windows Phone 7 over Android is kind of like backing OS/2 Warp over Windows for desktop machines in the 1990's. Sure, you might have gotten a big check from IBM and OS/2 Warp was technologi

Are people buying Android over iPhone because of a 3D camera? Probably not. Because Android is the only way to get LTE? Definitely, this is a big one. Because Android is the only way to get a dual core CPU? Definitely. Not to mention the fo

So just pile up the infringing sites and put a "SEND" button next to them? Log in once a week, hit the "SEND ALL under penalty of perjury" button?

Completely disagree about needing devices. Apple only makes one [phone] device per year, but Apple is losing market share to Android every month. Having a single device might be a good formula for profitability or user experience, but it's

Perhaps there is a business model here? Create a Tineye style crawler that digs the web for matching images and is smart enough to serve up DMCA notices for a small monthly fee to content makers. It will track compliance and put it all in a

That is interesting for sure. And it's really in line with HP's plans all along to use webOS on printers. Even more reason for HP to go open source though. Why use webOS when you can use Android for free instead? Why try to get ahold of an

I would not be surprised if the United States got a specialized "Cyber Force" branch of the military sooner rather than later to go along with Army, Navy, and Air. There are apparently already papers about it like this one from 2008: PDF:

If HP wants to go this route it should completely open source webOS. Even then HP will need to give away buckets of hardware to developers and pay top developers to write ports. Android took this same approach to grab the lead from Apple an

The coins are a mechanism for laundering. My point is you can't launder goods. Heroin is heroin is illegal no matter how you came about it. You could have gotten the drugs for free without cash, credit, bitcoins, goats, bushels of corn, or

Eventually, you do need to complete the transaction in the real, right? These aren't virtual drugs. The FBI can pose as drug dealers, collect your bitcoins, and send agents to your door instead of drugs if you're in the US. Bitcoins may be

It's not to notify you, but to notify your 'bros' that you're done with the dryer. I assume the app is supposed to be used with an iPod touch in a frat house setting and you'd want one iPod per machine. A very specific use case for these du

Maybe I'm missing something. But I don't see what's so different other than the deals are generally more restrictive. Isn't that just part of the wording of the deal? Couldn't $10 for $20 worth of food just as easily be $1 for a $2 cup of c

I imagine dealing with the RIAA was giving Google flashbacks of Google China and Google Books. Everyone wants to extort Google and censor the search results while viewing Google's goals with hostility. Google needs to make a YouTube of musi

That just doesn't sound very convincing. If PayPal had an unfinished Wallet product before Google even started, what happened to PayPal's product? Did PayPal shelve it and now it's taking out its frustration on Google? EDIT: Wow, lots of do

It sounds like the deal fell through over concerns about copyrighted music showing up in YouTube and Google search results. It can be pretty easy to imagine why the deal failed if the RIAA tried hard to get broad censorship rights as part o
