While you are all technically right that the iPad 32GB/wifi+3g is comparable to the Xoom, it isn't in the mind of consumers. Consumers will compare $500 v. $800. After all, Apple's $1500 laptop is not spec-wise comparable to a $500 Windows

That is what Amazon does today. If this is correct then Apple is saying you can't do this anymore.

This opens up a huge can of worms and will push any company who has a subscription service out of the App Store. How does this work with freemium, for instance? And what if the app is not from the company but from a third-party that uses an

I usually agree with MG, at least in principal. Apple has been consistent on the buying in app means using in app purchase rule. That is why Amazon went to the browser to purchase altogether. But if Apple cracks down on all purchases made f

Interesting to couple this article with the new data on test scores. If you missed that the test scores indicate that pairing like students US scores against International students produce similar results. Asian US students score about the

This is really stupid. I already can't rate movies I've seen from an iPad and now I can't add movies, either? The whole point of having a mobile web site is to let me do this kind of thing on the go at the point when a friend asks me if I h

Oh, please. What milarcky. People who are motivated by product do it for the kicks. This is love for Jobs, not money. If his health stays, he will be back. He doesn't know anything else.

I don't know Jobs' specific circumstances regarding paying or not, but I do believe you get liver priority if you are not an alcoholic. Since most liver failure issues are alcohol related, those patients usually have to wait to even be put

I don't think it matters where you start as long as you think through design and architecture to be as cross platform as possible. You have got to start somewhere.

It depends how you want to think about Apple, I would think. If you think about Apple from a Wall Street perspective then losing Jobs would be profound. From a product perspective, I don't think it will have as big an impact. There is so mu

Interesting that this would run on the same day Jobs takes a leave of absence. Talk about reinforcing what matters.

My guess is they have, just not publicly. (Easy to argue the merits of that.) Pancreatic cancer doesn't leave too many survivors so I am sure the management team thought a lot about life without steve, at least at that time.

Hope he is okay. If it is pancreatic cancer again, his odds are not good. My aunt had it, beat it, then it reoccurred four years later. She did not make it the second time. Only 2% survive. Good luck, Steve. Whether you like Apple or not, t

This is exactly the reason I have been rethinking the way my company develops apps. As the world splits and there isn't one standard technology like there used to be with Windows, I feel it is imperative to be thinking about how to go cross

I can't help but wonder how expensive a screen like this would be? I'm not a hardware guy. Would this screen even be reasonable at $500 retail price? Also, this could be interesting for Apple to use iPad 1 as a $300 product and iPad 2 as th

This is an important article. It isn't about what it is on the surface, though, which is Apple and Google fighting over the <video> tag. It is really about strategic and tactical decisions and where technology infrastructure belongs

They were working on Storm since before iPhone came out. My initial RIM meetings basically said as much with heavy hints at touch interfaces, and this was six months before iPhone was introduced.

I personally find that the only way to find middle ground is to read a few stories from all sides and triangulate the middle ground. Intestine write up at Gigaom: http://gigaom.com/2010/12/20/fccs-new-new-net-neutrality-com...

I find it interesting that no radical approaches were asked. I wonder, for instance, how people would feel about a VAT tax or flat income tax.

His national health care proposal was spot on also but ignored by the administration and previous Congress. Another Wyden story relayed from a friend who worked in DC and was on the same flight as the good Senator on Mondays and Fridays. He
