"Nearly"? Off the top of my head, I don't remember anything about Macs at all in the keynote.

I understand your point and have sympathy for it, but I just can't go along with it. I know it's just the grumpy old man in me, but I still prefer to push back (gently, I hope) against the misuse of words and phrases.

One of the great delights of the internet is having NYT op-eds followed up, almost immediately, by critical blog posts written by knowledgeable writers. I still remember a decade or two ago, when arguments like this were conducted through m

When I decided to focus on the things that matter in my life, I got much busier. Sure, I have fewer items on my todo list now, but each one of them takes a lot of time, energy, and focus to get right. When I was less focused, I had plenty o

I wonder if this disclosure was a condition of the AdMob Department of Justice approval.

It's good to remember that Battelle runs an AdSense competitor. Especially considering that Google disputes this claim of his.

The last time they had a sale like this I had to call them twice before I could download my ebooks. They don't seem very well prepared for the volume they get for sales.

I'm not an expert on this, but I believe that Apple's App Store agreement mandates that in-app purchases go through Apple.

I think we will all be safer when the pre-internet generation passes from power. I hope so, anyway.

It is, in some ways, a small things, but I'm really looking forward to the integrated Kindle book store in the android app. As far as I understand, Apple wants a 30% cut of in-app purchases, which caused Amazon to not add an integrated book

I have to completely disagree. Amazon.com is a store, not wikipedia, and price is a hugely important factor. If folks are unhappy with the pricing on amazon.com, then amazon.com is exactly the right place for it. In particular, if folks are

Anil Dash had a dirty Internet-Culture joke in the NYT a few years back (scroll down the article to the picture of Mr. Dash): http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/02/fashion/thursdaystyles/02G...

Almost certainly, the best thing any person can do is work to lessen their own cravings for sensationalist news entertainment. Then, let your circle (at this point only containing yourself) grow to include others, beginning with the people

I understand what you're saying, but what the iPhone really excludes is unapproved malware.

From the screenshot (of dubious authenticity) I saw on a different website, it seemed like the automatic updates was a setting that the user controls per app. There are still some problems with automatic updates (as there also are with non-

The most important similarity between a musician with a major label contract and an a venture-backed entrepreneur is that both people have sold a piece of the business. "If all goes well", both people will be making money for someone else.

This iPhone incident has been a low point for Apple blogging. I think that when an Apple blog is teaching us why stealing is wrong, or publishing California laws, then I think that Apple blog is doing something other than Apple blogging.

This brings to mind something pg wrote about New York: "New York tells you, above all: you should make more money. There are other messages too, of course. You should be hipper. You should be better looking. But the clearest message is that

I think his point was about bad incentives, not necessarily bad people. As Cato is neither a regulator, not a regulatee, I'm not sure why his employment there would make any difference.
