For that matter, why can I get 200GB/mo at 50mbit/s plus a server for $20 from a VPS provider, and $.15/GB beyond that ($.10 if purchased in advance in the case of Linode)? Why do consumer ISPs need to charge so much more? The ISP has to

Strange but not unexpected. Google Music doesn't work with my phone however it does attempt to replace the stock Music app by adding a second app called the exact same thing and anytime I try to play a music file it tries to load the Google

If your DHCP server is handing out leased addresses to other clients you might have bigger problems to worry about. For example if you expect a lot of churn on the network you should be using much shorter leases times.

Each one of these high profile hacks makes me think we're inching closer to a non-free Internet everyday. How much longer will big business tolerate this before they start calling in favors from their pets in congress? It's going to start w

There were a couple of issues with NVIDIA graphics drivers in DP4 which could cause kernel panics, UI glitches, etc. Fixed in the latest DP4 update. The folks over at netkas.org forums do a lot of exploring in those kexts. It seems like Lio

Apple can afford to take a risk with FCP because it's absolutely nonessential to their business. If they're wrong then so what? FCPX becomes iMovie 2014 instead. Not even a blip on Apple's financial radar. I do think it's a growing market b

It was. This new device could very possibly be free with 2 year contract if it only costs $300-$350. The unlocked angle is mostly for the international markets where more carrier competition exists and there's a real incentive to go contrac

As many people have said the challenge is everyone's 10 apps are a bit different and that's why you need a big software catalog. This is especially true of games. You can only play Angry Birds so many times. There are hundreds of other re

I found it a bit creepy simply because I view the Google services as pure utility completely segregated from my real life. I use them in the same way I use my microwave or toaster. If I woke up this morning and my microwave said "call Dad"

I'm not suggesting Facebook is unchallengeable just that it will take much longer due to the enormous number of users. The exodus from MySpace took several years with about 1/4th less users. So a 10 year timeframe seems completely reasonabl

I think it's settled for the next decade or so at least. With 687 million users if each user spent 15 minutes switching to an alternative it would take a combined time investment of about 20,000 years for Facebook to disappear. Of course

I've been using MobileMe since it launched and, besides the initial problems, it's actually a really good service. It's the $99 price tag that doomed it to be a niche service. With iCloud being free, even if it's only as functionality as MM

Is there actually any evidence to suggest Apple's 34-pin dock cables fail more often than others? I've owned 34-pin dock devices going back about 8 years now and I cannot recall ever having a broken dock cable. I have no doubt it does happe

As a non-console gamer is really amazes me how complex it has gotten. There's gotta be at least 4 different controllers that will work on the WiiU? How do you decide which one to use? Are some games unplayable without the right controller?

You could wait until iTunes becomes incompatible with 10.5 and Apple will give you a free OS upgrade. (assuming they continue this policy in the no-PC required to activate iOS devices future)

For the DP releases the downloaded package simply contains a DMG which can be restored to a USB drive or DVD easily or you could do a network install from another Mac using disk sharing.

He's doing his job. He writes a popular Apple-centric blog and as such covers it from this perspective. Your whole rant is based on what you admit is an incorrect assumption which you are now very angry at Gruber for. That's irrational.

On the surface $25/year seems too low to cover a music subscription service but there are about 140 million iOS devices out there and probably 50 million Macs? If 50% of them were to signup for iCloud and pay $25/year with 70% going to the

I pay for Audible since it's about the only way I can churn through all the books I want to read thanks to long commutes. I opt for a good usenet account instead of Netflix/Hulu simply because the selection/quality isn't good enough yet and

I'm not sure foreign policy operates in a realm where contradictions and consistency play any major role. It's too nuanced and complex for that. Very much a case-by-case, detail-by-detail, type of situation which is subject to change at any

Google and Amazon's approach has some big potential to blow up in their faces. It's definitely going to create some interesting legal questions. For instance Google's YouTube copyright filter applies equally to private videos. What makes mu

The analogy I've been using is air travel. Everyone knows the risks but we continue to fly anyway because planes just don't crash that often. Driving down the highway, which feels safer, is statistically far more dangerous.

Thousands of people have been displaced from their homes in the mandatory evacuation area. Displacement is really a horrible thing. It destroys communities and they never fully recover afterwards because people can't or won't return.

If Apple was willing to sell replacement parts to the public I would feel better about these types of upgrades. I don't mind doing the work but it's always stressful knowing you don't really have a Plan B if something goes wrong. I tend to

With all this radioactive water leaking on and off for the last 2 months, and likely well into the future, it's probably way too early to declare victory. I'm not sure anyone fully understands what impact this might have yet.

The older G5 iMac was easy to take apart. The new thinner, more tightly integrated, iMacs are not. I can definitely understand why Apple doesn't recommend users do it themselves. If you buy something like a Mac Pro Apple will give you step

I was hoping Palm would eventually license WebOS to companies that could make better hardware and offer more desirable form factors. WebOS is nice but the original Pre was just truly awful hardware. Under powered, fragile, terrible keyboard
