Marco has another bookmarklet currently available for testing by subscribers that lets you send individual articles directly to your Kindle, bypassing your Instapaper queue entirely. I haven't tried this yet, however.

Just to clarify, Nilay was a lawyer prior to Engadget, but he's no longer practicing. Also, I believe his specialty was copyright, not patent, law. Based on what I've heard him say on the podcast and read in this essay, it seems to me tha

But that's the thing - Apple isn't trying to prevent anyone else from using rounded corners. Apple's claims in that suit are pretty specific, especially if you look at the similarity of the icons. There are countless ways to represent an id

Android the platform might be nothing like iOS, but Ir does appear that Samsung went out of its way to make their phones look like iPhones[1]. [1]: http://thisismynext.com/2011/04/19/apple-sues-samsung-analys...

It works quite well on the Roku, but their interface for browsing is horrible. There's also no recommendations based on previous viewing/rating, as far as I can tell. I use Amazon video far more to rent recent releases than I use it for the

I'm pretty sure that was by far the most popular plan.

I haven't used Bitcoin, so this is an honest question - Why doesn't the software encrypt the wallet automatically?

Do you think Apple really cares about competition from an e-book company who we never heard of before their open letter, and who's name we can't remember now? I find that unlikely.

I'm going to have to spend a bit of time comparing this to Andy Clarke's 320 and Up[1]. From what I can tell so far, the difference appears to be philosophical - desktop first vs mobile first. [1]: http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/projects/32
