Dummy is probably one of the most polite things Arrington has ever been called.

I don't think they were consulted, this feels like they were presented with a fait-accompli and given sample "supportive statements" that they barely modified before sending back to Google's PR.

Exactly, a perfect example of this is how society values cleaning ladies much more highly than brain surgeons or CEOs. Usually you have to pay brain surgeons and CEOs orders of magnitude more money to take those jobs, when normally they mig

Apple started earlier this year to map its entire supply chain in an effort to eliminate use of "conflict minerals". http://www.enoughproject.org/blogs/apple-making-headway-mapp...

I don't think Apple can stop you from giving an iPad away, but as I mention below, Apple might have some grounds to stop you from using their trademarks to promote your giveaway. I suspect that like basseq says, the real target are those an

Would be amazing to see one of these built for Thunderbolt since it is essentially PCIe over a serial interface.

Since these are Apple's trademarks, they would probably argue that unauthorized use of the trademarks in promotions is actually legally enforceable. So as I understand it (IANAL) you don't agree to Apple's guidelines in order to give away t

If you ask around, you'll find that most of the people running Google Groups either hate or dislike Google Groups, however when their groups were first started it had a low-entry cost: it was free of charge and Google handled most of the an

The other problem with the desirability standard is that iOS and Android in the survey are pretty much even (30% and 31%). http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/u-s-smartp... If you look at their other graphs, however, they sh

It wasn't a real study, it was some sort of survey done by The Nielsen Company (the ones who measure TV viewership): http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/u-s-smartp... It doesn't describe the selection method, the numbers of

Yeah, same here. I really hope that Wacom goes for the Thunderbolt. My current rig includes a 12" Cintiq which has a mess of cables, a breakout box, a wall wart, needs a Displayport to DVI adaptor, etc etc. The mess of cables is exactly lik

Not sure if it is a factor but Wowza has supported HTTP Live Streaming for a while, maybe they've been eating at a bit of Flash Media Server's market share.

Web development is already a field full of these things: So it's your first web page, eh? Do you know HTML? No? Do you know CSS and JavaScript? No? Okay, the first step is to figure out how CPanel and PuTTY work ... what? What do you mean M

If you were thinking multipurpose C3P0 style robots, then the revolution has been 5 years in the future for the last 30 years. However single-purpose robots have become part of the fabric of most industries. Heck, most people don't even thi

Not sure if I understand your second statement. I had thought Nokia had stated at some point that QT wasn't being ported to WP7.

The fact that they sell primarily Apple products is an advantage even if things went sour. The Apple store gives Apple promotional and marketing support, it is a support venue. The customer walks in to an environment designed to promote App

You're right that there is a cost associated with having the stores but those are largely fixed costs and the amount of product Apple sells through the stores is so massive that the markup is pretty small compared to the markup associated w

How does this sentence even make sense? "unfortunately he is just too valuable to Apple and they told him in no uncertain terms that if he headed back to England he would not be able to sustain his position with them." So ... he is so valua

Agree totally. Setting up a VPS from scratch taught me a great deal, it's nice to be able to flip a switch and make all your mistakes disappear, and then have a new fresh canvas available.

Take a crack at Python and Ruby (or another language if you prefer) just to widen your experience, even if you stick to Java it will be good for you as a developer. I did the migration from Java to Python a few years back and I'm still lear

Nice. I didn't say our predecessors were stupid or incapable of remarkable things. I said that it was likely that the saga was just a story and that the researchers were jumping to conclusions. The article is extrapolating that the Vikings
