With its annual budget of $18.724 billion maybe? Seriously, where does that money go?

I'm sure it's the Daily's own fault if they failed. I was making fun of the fact that Gruber's posts always defend Apple.

Even shorter TL;DR: Some news article claimed that launching a magazine only for Apple's iPad is not a good idea. Gruber comes to Apple's rescue and explains how it's The Daily's own fault if they failed.

Right. What I should have emphasized is that the banking system will be provided entirely by Google. The credit card companies will be out of the equation.

Can someone explain something to me. These guys have 5 patents for their Dragonfly and, according to them, the research that led to these patents was funded by taxpayers to the tune of $1,000,000. So, the government funds the research, and

In the video, the founders suggest that I can "spy on people" and simultaneously show a picture of little girls. I would suggest removing that from the video. Also in the video, they proudly announce that "the dragonfly has 5 technology pat

Yes, and Google hasn't really even gotten started yet with monetizing Android. The real money maker will be Google Wallet. Just imagine Google taking a 2% cut out of every transaction you make through an Android phone. No one will be callin

I understand that allowing patents for algorithms is bad for innovation. What I don't understand is that people say that and then in the same breath claim that allowing patents for chemical formulas is good for innovation. In both cases, th

Wow, even just using a patented invention counts as infringement. I didn't expect that.

If the patent troll doesn't produce anything, you have no power against them. They don't care if you own a million patents yourself, they can still sue you for infringement of their one patent with no fear of repercussions.

I like this game. Here are some suggestions. I would prefer to only have to select the hue (the angle in the circle). That is, the game would prepare the correct saturation (distance from the center) and brightness (the vertical bar) for me

Copyright is most definitely not a good force. Whenever the government intervenes to prevent voluntary transactions among individuals, it destroys more value than it creates. Copyright falls under that category.

If I had to bet, I would say that AR glasses of the future will replace your vision entirely with a camera feed (called video-passthrough in the article). Today's glasses have a low field of view and lag, but these are only quantitative pro
