I will sell my iPhone 4 for $200-300 to buy the new iPhone 5. I can do this because I preserved it in mint condition.

Cool. Thanks Marco, I'm glad you addressed this, and did so in this way.

I disagree, an app should always check permissions on startup and request any that it needs, in case the user has removed those permissions on their own.

Any facebook app can "require" permissions simply by refusing to operate unless you grant it the permissions it wants. Many developers request permissions they think they'll use in the future, so this trick is useful because it puts it back

You don't really believe the HTC Wizard was "perfectly fine" do you? I went through so many Windows Mobile phones until I finally realized that the joke was on me. The user experience, the battery life, the apps, the bugs, the limitations i

Facebook has it right with "Like" -- either you like it or not. This eliminates these review patterns: 5 stars - OMG I LOVE EVERY PRODUCT 4 stars - Love this product, but I am withholding one star because of _____ 3 stars - Everyt

Pro tips to alleviate some of the gripes I see here: Shift-click a pinned icon to start a new instance. Use the Windows key on your keyboard. Start typing to find an app. Press the Windows key again to toggle back to whatever was just open.

I have no problems with Windows 8. Yes the start button is now full-screen, yet I hardly have to use it -- but I actually find it useful so I do. I am not confused in the slightest by Metro, just as I'm not confused by OS X's gestures, laun

I can SSH from my iPad. I can remote in. I have a bluetooth keyboard. I love the Verizon 3G. I have taken it on trips solo. The 11" MBA, on the other hand, is available with 8GB RAM and a high-speed SSD that basically destroys the performan

I disagree that "facts" are "journalism" -- but can you even say that the text of a bunch of emails, dumped verbatim, are readily and verifiable facts? Or is it simply somebody else's conversation? Is whatever you say in email a readily ava

Interesting point, however I am having a hard time coming up with another journalist in this era who reports their findings by dumping information onto bit-torrent.

Now I'm uptight? I raise a valid point -- journalists don't capture and disseminate private conversations, they report. I have never seen a journalistic article from Wikileaks, much as I have never seen a journalist simply distribute a bu

I second this. The review times can cause real problems for development, and it is a concern that gets very little attention these days.

I subscribed to Flickr Pro because I loved the idea of all of my photos backed up 'in the cloud' and available on my devices/computers without having to copy/sync, but it didn't work out that way. Flickr never developed any good connectors

Won't there always be a dominant plugin? If it's not Flash, isn't there some other optional-yet-ubiquitous installable that gives certain sites an edge over the lowest common denominator of browser tech?

Grubwithus.com looks enticing, but when I looked for more information on how it works, I'm encouraged to sign up. This is a disappointing trend; I am interested to learn more, but to do so I must commit -- so unfortunately I'm a bounce. Ed
