Tone it down. This is a sober (heh) account of a young woman finding herself in a place she thought she'd never be, not a personal ad.

I think this is giving humanity way too much credit. We're only going to care about profitable ideas that algorithms come up with. Imagine an electronic intelligence with a profound understanding of TV shows. Who would possibly want to hear

Egotistical self-serving tough love vendor? Guilty as charged. But he now has a googleable term for something that's undoubtedly been causing him grief and unexpected outcomes in life, and that's probably the best I can do from where I sit.

To be sure, Safari is invoking a system level PDF reader to handle inline PDFs. That's what gets you that silky performance and nice rendering. When you pop the PDF out, it then gets passed to the full Preview.app.

Just so we're all on the same general reality, that part of the report is a profound and total lie, promulgated by a broken media system for uninteresting but undoubtedly unsavory reasons.

This was inevitable, regardless of how Mac sales are doing. The classic MacBook Pro design has no place in 2014's lineup, and you've got to get a $1700 laptop to a $1200 price point somehow.

The thing about $1 casual games is that they're now $0 casual games capable of drawing substantial income after the initial "sale". Pre-paid boxed game software is not a growth industry, and post-paid digital is. It's not theoretical, this

No, it'll be going for a vastly more lucrative market: everyone who is wildly overserved by the existing console market. Consoles had three decades to break out of niche and they failed. It's time for the final disruption of the living room

The console industry used to sell high-end wedding cakes. Now they sell wedding cakes, some sheet cakes, and occasionally a pre-boxed slice if there are leftovers. These are your only options for snacking in the living room. You order a w

Your point doesn't have a point. If the question is "is there global warming, and are human beings substantially responsible?", the answer is "yes". You're saying "but it could always be no". The answer is "yes", and some point past that i

So a has-been telephone company that has less than a year to live gets a nine-digit check of taxpayer cash to do research in an area that is completely out of their competency? Sweet job if you can get it.
