Maybe, but they can always do that down the line. At the moment, they have a dedicated audience that will gladly pay $15.

Lewis was an amazing man. A more serious scholar and thinker than most who know about him today would probably expect, a brilliant writer, and he did things like respond to all of his fan mail and give away the lion's share (pardon the pun)

In this case, TL should stand for 'twitter link.' They can be a pain. : )

I wasn't planning on it, but I feel somewhat spoiled by your warning, actually. Maybe I shouldn't, but I can't help make certain assumptions when given a character's name and that there are major spoilers on the level you've described. : /

The word is always used with an implied context, yes, but that context is never just 'the present' with all circumstances staying as they are. To call something 'unbeatable' means that there are still variables that can come into play in th

It's not fallacious; it's not even an argument. It's just a shortcut. It seems hard to make any definitive claim about Apple's future so soon after the loss of Jobs's leadership and influence.

This is a weird bit of equivocation, and it's kind of clever and fun to think about. But they aren't really different statements plainly spoken. To say that something is unable to be beaten is intrinsically a claim about the future.

On the flip side, they've only been able to get as far as they have on the strength of alliances that may not have flourished with such a clear line drawn.

It looks fine in my phone's browser.

Exactly. It also evokes the idea of 'playing' with a new program or gadget, something done with non-game applications all the time.

But in this case, the price-point is highly sensitive. The reason there is so much demand is because it is insanely cheap. It's exciting because of what it signals, and even modestly raising the price changes the narrative.

The problem is that weight is an issue of behavior change much like drug addiction or depression, so you need to measure success of a treatment by doing outcome studies over the long-term. For losing weight, these outcomes are shockingly po

But that's exactly how legislation is named across the board. Who wants to oppose Patriotism? Or Liberty, Freedom, Homeland Security, or Family Values? It's insidious and infuriating. edit: Also as the other comment points out, the bill is

Agreed - no worse than the average article on a complex topic, really.

I wonder how far off that functionality is given Android's new syncing with Chrome.

I disagree. I wanted an iPhone but couldn't get it because I was on Verizon. I also happen to be someone who influences my friends and family on technology. When Android turned out to be a great experience, I told other people. Now my mom,

Google has other agendas than profiting from the sale of phones. They have an application store, a music store, a movie store, and a book store, for starters. They also have an ad business which gets to safely live on the most popular smart

I'll be interested in seeing what people think about this. Some of what Siri does is trivially easy, but the completeness and polish of it is what makes it special.

Where is the study showing intelligence to be profoundly malleable? IQ is one of the more heritable traits, from what I've heard.

Arrington's view of the original Droid is what tipped me fully into buying the phone. I think Josh's review of this may have cemented me for the Galaxy Nexus.

You're not the only one hung up on it, no. But I don't see anything strange about a 10/10 score. It doesn't imply perfection, only relative excellence. This is how it's always been with game reviews, for instance. A video game released in 1

I grabbed your browser and have been using it. It's nice and snappy. Just FYI, xScope goes to full screen if you hit the menu button. Cheers and keep up the good work on making apps.

I may give this a spin. I've been using xScope since it began development because I wanted a low-clutter, high-speed option. Out of curiosity, had you tried xScope too and found it lacking?
