We should have told him HREF was a Macintosh type, creator or resource identifier code.... Those were 4 characters in length and there very well could be one by that name, and quite possibly much older than HTML. I searched for a list of t

It think that some of the articles with negative news about Apple (the ones making a fuss over fairly minor things), be be designed to cause ripples in the stock price. Things won't always be as obvious as MS-paid people trying to discredi

Fighting for parking spaces... you might be surprised how underhanded even that can get. The state of California has a rule in the vehicle code about abandoned cars. It's clearly intended to deal with cars people just walk away from (with

Unfortunately there's no way this site or Slashdot or any of the tech sites will be free of similar problems. There may be far less seen with conservative/liberal issues, but there will be others biasing the rankings for stories/comments a

>Microsoft did in fact 'get' the iPod, and outdid it in a lot of ways. Do you own one? I've never met anyone that did. I see the Zune HD has a web browser... How does that experience compare with browsing on the iPod touch? How does b

The picture for MS and tablets doesn't look good whatever way they go. 1) The go with touch bolted onto Windows on x86. While it's understandable that they'd like to carry along a base of existing software, what are the chances of the inte

It's really not even safe to have an app without strong credentials and audit trail bringing in ads. There's no protection against objectionable ads, or those doing things like taking advantage of Flash vulnerabilities etc. Isn't the Apple

Aside from direct damage which varies from negligible to substantial, the indirect costs should be taken into account. They're not always easy to guage. Something that takes a lot of time certainly has an opportunity cost. The time it tak

Some may be interested to know that the beef industry has attempted to manipulate the education process. Clearly they're fighting even awareness of healthier food practices and don't want future employees to know what's up http://latimesb

I believe that vitamin D is best taken with and is absorbed in and later stored in fat (and the liver). Excessive amounts of animal fat are bad since it is a saturated fat, but some is beneficial. I suspect that range fed beef has more vit

Many people with pets kept indoors would be very surprised to learn that these animals can needlessly suffer from painful arthritis in old age due to vitamin D deficiency. Dogs and cats don't get much sun on their skin, but they secrete oi

Years ago I read about a study that went on and on with interesting things about the people of Beverly Hills California. What the people doing the study hadn't figured out was that virtually everyone in it had made up their info and wasn't

There is an element of non-randomness in drawing from Facebook users although I'm not sure who it favors. (I'm one of the minority not being on there. I don't text people either) Looks like you did a pretty good job with this. It's a tho

"In fact, it sounds like it's legal to jailbreak an iPhone but not an iPod touch..." Perhaps one could extend the scope of this to the iPod touch by considering the case of one with a bluetooth headset and VoIP software running. The iPod t

The updates found in Ubuntu go well beyond what's seen with OS X and Windows. A huge number of apps get updates as well. Also, adding software is much easier. It's more like having a built-in software store. Vast numbers of free apps can

I read the page, and don't disagree with the conclusions. The myth has already been sufficiently clubbed to death. But if by extension this topic invites us to ask how much energy there actually is, there are some things missing from the an

Just as operating systems are not all the same, farts are not all the same. Some really stink, while others don't. Some pack a lot of energy while others don't. The paper doesn't dig deep enough for the facts. (sorry!) There are many hund
