Why do you say that? Google didn't make the the Maps app in previous versions of iOS, Apple did—they just used Google's data.

This post explains that a little bit: http://brockerhoff.net/blog/2012/09/13/boom-2/ Essentially, his conclusion is that micro USB can't support everything Apple wants the connector to do.

Yeah, and from what I've read/heard about the incident, he just casually went along with the rest of his day, like nothing even happened. Here's a great photo of it: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/08/neil-armstrong-19...

Some info from Siracusa about the different ways to read the review: http://siracusa.tumblr.com/post/27978338524/about-my-mountai... Sounds like if you buy the Kindle version when it comes out ($5), he'll get a direct cut, which is nice.

I haven't read either of the books you mentioned, but "Apollo" by Charles Murray and Catherine Bly Cox is also excellent. From the looks of it, the paperback is hard to find ($125 on Amazon!), but the Kindle edition is only $8.

One big reason to keep using a dedicated GPS is offline support—as far as I know, both iOS and Android require an internet connection to calculate a route, so if you don't have cell service, you're out of luck. Since dedicated GPS devices h

"essentially being parking" I gotta say, that is one hell of a simplification—launching a rocket into space and meeting up with another craft, already in orbit, is a little more difficult that parking your car. :)

I imagine it would just keep on working exactly the same, except that the map tiles will look slightly different.

Yes, I love this. I store my 1Password file in Dropbox, so in a pinch, I can log into Dropbox on someone else's computer and grab any password I might need.

It will work exactly like it does on the iPhone—if you specify 1000 pixels, it will be 1000 pixels wide on the non-retina iPads, and 2000 pixels on the new iPad.

I'm pretty sure they just restock them and sell them at the same price. They only accept returned shoes that are unused.

Zappos has just about solved this problem for me though. They realize that people want to try on shoes and clothes, and so they offer free shipping and free returns, and if you're a VIP member (just ask and they'll give it to you), everythi

The laggy scrolling is likely because they're not using native scrolling, but rather using the same JS based scrolling they use in the web app to overcome issues with iOS 4's support for fixed CSS positioning. However, since the toolbar is

You're correct. I tried this with my girlfriend's 4S this evening—if the screen is on and you hold the phone to your ear, you will hear the ding prompting you to start speaking.

Does anyone here actually use Chrome apps? I personally don't really get the appeal, but maybe someone can explain it.

I'm not sure why he's assuming that Siri can run on the iPhone 4. From what I've heard, it is in fact rather processor-intensive, and therefore it can only run on the newer, dual-core A5. That being said, it makes you wonder why it's not co

As I understand it, all the US carriers (with the exception of T-Mobile) charge the same per month whether you bought a phone subsidized or not, so it doesn't make too much sense to buy an unsubsidized phone, because you won't be saving any
