They've taken a great OS and put it in a somewhat poor smartphone. I found they keyboard on the initial Pre to be very bad. I've heard it has improved since then, but as they saying goes, first impressions count a lot. I really thought with

That is not entirely true. HIPAA rules pertain to individually identifiable health information - one must be able to use the information and identify the person it is connected to. Online reviews are typically anonymous in nature, and the

I hope this reminds people, especially in light of recent news, that cancer kills far more people in this country than terrorism ever has or will. We must do what we have to to keep our nation safe and secure, without doubt, but if we could

This is just fantastic news! I stare at the rising Freedom Tower out my window as I write this, and there's a sense of closure to what was a rude awakening to a new century. From Andrew Sullivan on Daily Beast: "12.08 pm Can I say how deepl

How is the party over? Buffett, later than he probably should have, admitted that Sokol's transgressions were unacceptable, and now Sokol is gone. Ultimately this is not going to have an impact on Berkshire's bottom line or share price. Th

On a side note, coming to read this now with over 350 comments, without the rating system I can't make heads or tails of which ones are or are not worth reading.

It's not always so easy for everyone to eat together however. People have different work schedules - different deadlines to meet, some may be working from home at times or while on a business trip, and for some, such as myself, lunch is rea

I've owned the 11.6" MBA for a couple of months now and it works great. It's portability is fantastic because I have to take it with me to several locations where I don't have a lot of work space. It's fast and the battery life is decent en

I still feel that some things people prefer to keep private. If I bought something at a discounted price I personally don't care to share that with everyone who I am connected to on Facebook, maybe just a few close friends and family member

The total amount raised, according to Crunchbase, was $118,000 (18000 YC + 100000 Angel). This was in 2006, so assuming there has been no other investments made, looks like their revenues must have been pretty decent to be able to support t

Seems like it was real time monitoring. Otherwise why not just use the traditional Holter monitor, which is later reviewed by a doctor?

Two weeks seems fair. Long enough to get familiar with the system, but short enough to make it inconvenient to keep signing up for free trial periods repeatedly with different twitter accounts they can keep making up. FWIW, Basecamp offers

You are assuming the high end of conversion at 5%. And you are also assuming those 25,000,000 accounts are all held by different people, when in reality there are people who hold multiple accounts under different email addresses for differe

This is great, look forward to reading the second part. At first, the price seems expensive, but when I think about it, it's really not. You are offering a lot of functionality when it comes to scheduling tweets and that's a feature people

I think at some point the freemium model needs to be abandoned. Dropbox is getting there - 25 million users (or accounts) and a service that works pretty well. At this point why not charge a nominal fee for the low end of the service - even

The redesign is a disaster but honestly Gizmodo lost me as a visitor a while ago. Maybe I'm in the minority but personally I still find it a bit stunning that a site like this would pay for stolen property and then display it online. Even i

I think it's actually a good idea that Amazon forces a minimum price of $0.99. Otherwise it could potentially serve as a way for certain special interest groups to just spread free propaganda, which could detract from the Kindle environment
