They don't really concern me. He made the choice to do it. I think he was probably aware of the risks and decided it was worth the punishment. If not then he made a huge mistake.

I don't think it's an exaggeration. It's not so much a compatibility problem, just as it wasn't for Windows, but instead it's a business problem. Google is increasingly unable to get new features to market in a timely fashion. They can side

Most cable set tops have dedicated decryption, video/audio decoding chips so the main CPU available for running the UI is very weak by design. Cisco & Motorola make these set tops pretty much by spec of what the big cable providers want

There are probably better ways of doing this but I just use Chrome now exclusively for Google services. I don't login to Google on my primary browser anymore. I'm hoping this will limit their stalking a bit. I don't mind if they read my mai

I think that's exactly where they're heading. Apple filed for a patent a couple of years ago for an iMac style enclosure that could dock a tablet computer. It probably makes more sense to do this via a tablet instead of a phone.

Also from the article: Putting direct IP access to the broadcast channels on the cables is a much better approach. I agree it's a better approach and offers more benefits to consumers in the long run.

Isn't this really more about OCD-ish behaviors than notifications? There's no good reason you have to act on every notification you receive unless you want to. In most cases you have a choice to even receive the notifications in the first p

Spitting in the face of user intent like this is really crossing the line of what is acceptable in my opinion. I'm not really concerned about my privacy but I do need to have some faith that the settings I am choosing are being respected. I

With a SSD and plenty of RAM load-times are a non-issue for the most part. I often leave applications I use frequently (or even infrequently) open for weeks at a time. There's not much downside in doing this besides some extra clutter in yo

I also work in the industry and I can confirm all the discussions I've heard on the ClearQAM issue come back to the cost of delivering services and contracts with programmers. Each one of these service calls to install/remove a signal trap

Not necessarily. This could be done through most of the existing equipment customers own. An iPad app just needs the right IP address to tune a digital video stream that's arriving via your existing cable modem / router. Same thing for a st

I kind of do, yes. OSX Server gained a simple user interface mode but otherwise is basically the same thing and now it's only $50. Just install the Server Admin package. It's exactly the same as 10.6 You can do HTTPD, VPN, POP/IMAP mail ser

I really like where Apple is heading with OSX. With iCloud and a common set of features/services iOS and OSX are developing a very symbiotic relationship. It kind of confuses me to see people saying Apple is trying to turn OSX into iOS. It'

I use it. Sometimes I actually forgot what apps I have installed or forget the names of them if I don't use them frequently. If my hand is already on the trackpad I just have to pinch in and there they are. Quicker than going to the Applica

Is there any specific reasons you wouldn't want AirPlay, Notes/Reminders/Messages, notifications, etc? It seems to me those are all very good features to add to OSX that happened to debut on iOS first.

Google really doesn't get that lots of people want a separation between their public and private spaces. I wouldn't be comfortable putting my files on anything connected to Google+ and I would be more than a little creeped out to see my fil

Not really just taking the argument to its logical moronic extreme. Google could simply change a few lines of text in a license agreement and (somehow) make life better for people in China. It's no different than the people who say Apple sh

In my experience that's pretty much the exact opposite of how enterprise IT works. That's why we tend to end up with so much miserable hardware/software. It's usually a calculation of cost/technical adequacy/ease-of-support. User preferen

As someone who works in the cable industry I can say you're making the right choice. Nothing is going to change until more people do this. This industry is suicidal. Some costs that are passed along to the consumers (programming) are unavoi

With newer machines (2011 MBA, Mini, maybe the iMac too?) you can even start the OS install straight from the boot loader. It basically net boots the Lion Recovery image and then proceeds with downloading/installing the OS. Pretty slick.

In one way I feel bad for the little guy as it's a horrible smear campaign against his name however when I look at some of his extreme policies I'm suddenly less sympathetic. He implies a lot of nasty things about a lot of different groups

I'll expand a bit on why I think they're doing it wrong. When you choose to follow/friend/circle/whatever someone you are making the choice to establish a social connection with that person. Social connections are far too broad to police. I

I think point #5 (home viewing) is the most important one. The other issues have, more or less, existed for quite sometime now. It's only fairly recently that the average person could afford a pretty nice home theater setup. I've had a home

Even if it's only 1% that's still $6 million bucks. I suspect there are lots of people like me who have the technical ability to flash a custom ROM but just don't want to spend the time and effort on it. Reading through a 200+ page forum th

Maybe paid upgrades are the answer? 20 million devices, $30 for the ICS update, 5% take rate = $30 million dollars. Considering random teenagers in web forums can produce pretty good functional ports there's no way it will cost Samsung more
