Obviously I know that I'm working from a sample size of one, but when I bought my MacBookPro7,1 last spring I tried to put the latest Ubuntu on it (must have been 10.4) and it wouldn't even boot to the installer. Could not get it to do anyt

I've often thought this. To support the current lineup of MacBooks you'd need to test on 8 CPUs, 3 GPUs, and have basic support for Mac hardware across the line (keyboard, trackpad, webcam, etc). There might be some issues with writing driv

I'm not deaf, but I share the sentiment. If we are not very close friends or related, I don't answer your call. And I've taken to giving my Google Voice number to some of the more persistent callers with it going straight to voicemail. I ge

On a side note, why is there a spot for "occupation" on a death certificate? It seems like such an arbitrary thing to have your most recent job on your permanent record of death. And how do you sum up a career like Jobs'? "Entrepreneur in t

Personally, I don't care what the next iPhone is called, so long as it's not called "iPhone 5", because that would be a lie.

This is nothing more than a thinly-disguised allegory about piracy in the music industry. There are several big differences between the music and the software industry which I won't go into, except to say that: even taking this story at fac

The view count shocks me, as does the comparison to Oprah - I've personally never found Kevin Rose to have said anything substantial, and watching two middle-aged guys drink beer and talk about nothing holds absolutely no interest for me. B

Patent trolls may be evil, but they're not stupid. The best we can hope for is for them to sue a close friend of a congressman or judge.

Back when I pirated TextMate 1 (probably in 2006 or so) I told myself that I'd pay for it when 2.0 came out. I still plan to, though I'll admit that it's been longer than I thought it would be.

I agree, the new version numbers are stupid. If they wanted to copy Chrome's rapid-release schedule, they should have just ditched the version numbers altogether (like Chrome) and just continuously and transparently kept their install base

True, but it's not as though Microsoft bought Nokia. As crazy as that sounds, though, that would have been less crazy than Google's buying Motorola and how now they've suddenly become a mass-market hardware manufacturer. I really fear that

Interestingly, this means the only manufacturer-neutral smartphone OS is now Windows Phone 7. iOS is on Apple, Android is on Motorola/Google, Blackberry on RIM, and webOS on HP/Palm. I wonder if this means we'll see an increase in WP7-based

Maybe instead of "used AirBnB" you say something like "rented out a space with AirBnB" or something to the effect - I doubt the tenants are concerned with the breakin, but many landlords would be, yet both would be considered to have "used

Overall volume perhaps, but the optical drive takes up a lot more than 10% of the internal volume.

I really hope it doesn't have the wedge shape, they're so hard to get open. What I'd really like to see is for them to ditch the optical drive, make it ~40% thinner or so (but with the same thickness throughout) and to fill the rest of the

I think his argument is pretty weak. Sure, for tech-savvy people that buy a lot of music, going with the flat pricing of Spotify makes sense, as does the convenience of not having to manage and sync your music files between devices. However

Backblaze should really consider selling their pods - it would basically free money for them because whatever inventory they don't sell they can use for their service, and I'm sure there's lots of businesses that would pay good money for a

In my opinion the new project view is very, very good. I also like that you can save multiple color schemes and switch between them, but it's a bit disappointing that the software didn't come with any presets other than the default. The lac

There are several backup solutions (Arq, JungleDisk, etc) that will store your data on Amazon's S3 service. However, the restore process is fairly painful as it requires downloading potentially hundreds of GB which takes a long time. I'm aw
