The hardback/ paperback model is that early adopters are charged more and then the price is brought down later for people who are willing to wait. I don't see why that couldn't work for ebooks if people were willing to accept it.

> They seem to be behaving like a good citizen here. They didn't look into the issue until forced by a (German) government investigation and then denied wrongdoing by claiming it was an "accident". How would a bad citizen have behaved?

I don't see how those are similar to Zynga pulling out of Facebook and switching to "Zynga Live" which doesn't yet exist. Google didn't "pull out" of offering their services through the established browsers when they released their own. The

I uncheck the box before pasting a URL I don't want shortened. It may be slightly annoying but it does not "damage my reputation".

In Tweetdeck, when you paste in the URL, you can see it turn into a bitly URL. It's not as if you don't know that's what's going to be posted. There is a checkbox next to where you compose your tweet for "Auto Shorten URLs" that you can unc

I think they view the music industry as a cautionary tale. The start of their big decline coincided with the rise of Napster. Rightly or wrongly, movie people drew the conclusion that music was killed by piracy and they would be next.

Actual pdf readers like Preview seem good enough to me. I don't understand why I would need to take a PDF and view it as HTML. I do see the value for formats like .pptx where I may not have a reader, but PDF is already a "lowest common deno

Other than the first suggestion, you have to use the down arrow in Chrome to use the completions. In Firefox, you cycle through them using tab just like completion in every other app (e.g, bash, ipython, anything using readline).

You are arguing with a strawman. Nothing in the article mentioned the Sherman Act or said that Apple is a monopoly. If you think that the FTC and DOJ exist solely to enforce that one law, you are incorrect.

That gives you a good tabbing mechanism between apps, but you lose the ability to use Command+n to switch to tab #n in whichever app your are using (Chrome, iterm, etc.) I switch between tabs in the terminal and web browser more than I swit

> Ad-hominem is where you use qualities of the arguer as disproof of the argument. Right, which is what he didn't do. "I don't like Rails because DHH has an ugly hairdo" would have been an ad hominem. In this case, he is disagreeing wit
