You're still thinking in terms of hardware and devices. Elop's memo clearly shows that he comprehends the challenge. It's not the hardware. It's the ecosystem that matters. Think iTunes, App Store, MobileMe etc. Why do you think Apple is

I've never been to China, so I was a little surprised to read that the largest bill denomination is equivalent to just US$15. I wonder why the payment card industry or contact-less payment systems like NFC have not taken off like they have

This is inconsistent with Google's policy of not allowing competing app stores on Android. http://venturebeat.com/2011/01/19/kongregate-arcade-appban-p...

It's not just the privacy angle, DDG also returns much more relevant results for my searches. YMMV.

What about video support for existing Android devices? AFAIK WebM is only available for Gingerbread, which means the large majority of Android devices would have to fall back on Flash for Android. And that's not fully-baked yet. I can't see

It is a patent owned by a corporation that has chosen to license them in a royalty-free way, in the exact same way that MPEG-LA has chosen not to charge fees for end users of MPEG4. The main distinction would be source code access, but as s

If what you say is true (that Google has patents on WebM), then Google's claim of supporting WebM due to it being "open" is contradictory.

4) I'm sorry, but this has been my impression as a toolchain integrator and distribution vendor. LLVM, which only even supports two platforms (although having seriously broken semi-support for ARM) is often stated to be "catching up" i

Not necessarily true. The article argues the inverse and I would tend to agree. Observe a woman's routine for dressing up for work or a social event; it's an adventure. From the selection of clothes and shoes to the handbag. Need I say more

Thank you for posting this. I lost my own 25-year friend to a drunk driver this past March, and the post was beautifully written and mirrors my feelings.

The full context of the question is: "if asked how an ad-driven business makes money, how would you, as the business owner, explain it?" The truth of the situation is: you click, I get paid. There is no moral value attached to such an actio

That is exactly the opposite definition of fraud. From Merriam-Webster: a : deceit, trickery; specifically : intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right

No ads doesn't mean Youtube may not generate goodwill or promote other videos from what is legally his content. i.e. someone may click on "Recommended videos" or "Similar videos" and those would have advertising.

What is Google's position on phones being rooted for the sole purpose of acquiring pirated apps? From where I'm sitting it seems Google is not doing anything to discourage this and is implicitly saying that the ad-driven revenue model is th

But Aperture is NOT meant to be a Photoshop competitor but an Adobe Lightroom alternative. Aperture's primary function is photo management and is a step up from the very basic iPhoto; image editing and manipulation with heavy filters and la

Good points. Not to mention that a large, visible target like Google would attract even more people with malicious intent since the payoffs would be much higher. And no, Google is not invulnerable, as evidenced by last year's intrusions tha

With a paid model, the developer captures the sale and gets paid at the end of the billing cycle. With the ad-based model, the developer's revenue is dependent on ad impressions or clickthroughs, which means the developer's content must be

Agree with everything you typed. I was a huge Gran Turismo fan and thought GT2 was the paragon of what was really possible with the hardware at that time. But it all went downhill starting from GT3. The reason, I suspect, is that the makers
