This is a random story, but I'm curious if anyone else remembers: A few years ago, I landed on Woz's personal website, and noticed a small blurb about a public AFP connection for his personal machine (I think, afp://steve.woz.org) I connect

Actually, it's a clean HTML template (xhtml doctype!) For HTML5, you could include HTML5 features like microdata or use some of the HTML5 tags. The design though is great - very clean!

I agree. WebMD has probably been a boom for drug companies as hypochondriacs (and wannabe hypochondriacs) research new ways for drug companies to take their money. I've met sane people who are positive they've got the latest bug or some rar

I think this is a great idea. Apple could allow filtering to see _IF_ I really want to upgrade to iOS 5 right away or wait until iOS 5 reviewers are happy.

A year ago, I tried multiple times to use Hipmunk, only to be turned off by the site. I don't think I "got it" then. Like the author, I found sites like Kayak or Bing easier to use. It returned the data I needed (cheapest price!) and did it

Exactly! I think a flood of new iPhones owners will be hitting this fall. I know plenty of iPhone 3GS owners waiting to pick up the rumored iPhone 5. By that point, I may even be ready to replace my iPhone 4 with the 5...

You're right; He broke their policy. However, to be fair, Comcast isn't very "open" with regard to the policy. You log in, see a graph, click "details" and get some mumbo jumbo about only 99% of users exceeding the cap. Clicking "Learn more

If you had a patent that you felt others were infringing, would you just sit back and do nothing? In addition, those handset makers (as well as the countless patent trolls) are busy filing their own infringement suits against Apple (and oth

The iPhone 4 antenna was touted as a major new feature as well. However, their method of testing (encasing them in thick plastic to mimic the appearance of an iPhone 3G/S) may have resulted in "antenna-gate". OR, at least given bloggers (an

Hopefully that's something Apple can monitor as well? There have only been a handful of apps that I've downloaded and deleted right away. Most were in the Top 50 listing with low ratings. Curiosity was the main factor for me downloading. Bu
