When I used a mouse, I found my right wrist hurt more than the left. But I can't say that moving to a laptop with a trackpad is 10x better.

It's possible. I don't wear them constantly, but usually when there is soreness starting.

Microsoft acted like a spoiled monopolist who aggressively guarded their turf throughout the 80s and 90s. Absolutely. They wanted a PC on every desktop in every home running Microsoft software. All absolutely true. But did they make this no

This is understood, assuming your personal email is posted to the Web and consumed by others. I am a compulsive email saver, but periodically wipe out categories that are no longer relevant as well.

In the post, I suggested those with big brands, like those you mention, are probably not interested. Maybe LivingSocial wants it?

I thought this was fair. In what way do you see Apple promoting Web apps in the way they once did?

All good points. The issue we're facing with DRM, upgradability etc is similar to that faced with moving from LPs to Cassettes to CDs to MP3s to... Books decay. Digital files get corrupted. Companies rise and fall. I know I'll end up buying

The argument could similarly be made for watching feature films on a TV set with surround sound versus a theater. Ebooks aren't as beautiful (yet) as their hardback cousins, but they are instant, portable, and greener to boot!

Dave, this post was in response to many other articles that have framed iOS vs Android as the 2 dominant smartphone platforms and made a parallel comparison to the Mac/Windows discussions of old. I do like Windows Phone 7 a lot. I think the

That's not inappropriate to ask at all. It's a fun hobby. Look through my site and you'll see I've done this a long time and have some big wins that launched first with me. (TweetDeck, Beluga two examples)

I've tried it and purchased on my own link. 1) How soon until the money reaches PayPal? 2) There are no assurances that the CC data is safe. It looks to be sent over HTTPS, but you're assumed to be trusted.
