   Sure. So perhaps it's not a net win or lose either way. The iPad is quicker to get up and going with, perhaps like a car with higher octane fuel. Long haul, the computer's going to win out for sure. But that initial feel of faster, and the

   Actually, for many Americans, I'm afraid the microwave has replaced their oven, and average food quality has suffered as a result. In an odd twist, my family usually cooks fully homemade food since it's healthier, but the microwave oven i

   In my opinion, anything more than instant now feels like waiting for ages. Sure, my netbook comes out of sleep mode within 2 seconds, but it's sure more sluggish for the first several seconds after that. Even Macs aren't fully instant on, u

   Ouch; that's one thing you should definitely never forget. But I guess you'd burn the food if you didn't stir it on a stove :)

   Great points. As a funny side point, for a time my parents didn't have a microwave after moving once when I was a kid. The killer use of microwaves that got us to get one? Reheating baby food. There's just no efficient way to do it on a sto

   I expect they'll still require a basic free account to read your free 20 articles per month, and they they'll track it based on your account.

    Great read, and I've personally used Pinboard more than I ever would have thought. Best small web purchase ever!

    If that's true across the board, then they're definitely making a fair amount from Android. They're supposed to be getting north of 300k daily activations, which could mean $3mil daily or north of $1bil annual revenue from Android if they'r

    Doesn't Google charge OEMs for Android certification and for the Google core apps (Gmail, Maps, Android Marketplace)? That's what I thought they were making money from. Edit: Ah, yes, the Android documentation says that they're licensed sep

    Neat; I'll have to check and see if prices are down here or not. Haven't checked in several months.

    What does the average unlocked Android device cost there? In Thailand, most Android phones are still USD $400+. Oddly enough, last-gen Blackberry devices are the most popular smartphones (semi-smartphone) here since they're often USD $150-$

    Ouch. Oh, I feel so bad for you ... that would really be maddening to happen just when your app is rising on the app store. Hope you can get it fixed quickly and it doesn't damage too much!

    I figure they'll eventually include AirPrint in iTunes for OS X and Windows so it will automatically share any connected printers for iOS devices. They haven't yet, though...

    Good points. I personally think the amount you can't do from tablets will continue to shrink, and if you were starting out fresh, you could get a wireless printer so you're ready without a PC. But yes, today, it's only possible to use an iP

    And, actually, printing from iPad works great now, too. There are ways to get AirPrint working with any Windows or Mac shared printer, so even if you don't have a newer wireless printer, you can still use it. As far as Office suites go, the

    I read it in Instapaper, though you have to hit Print first, then add it to Instapaper. Still, worth it :)

    Thanks, I just signed up. Loved your "inch by inch" tagline; I use a similar one on my site. I'll be using iDoneThis to keep me motivated to write everyday ... hopefully it'll really keep me at it :) Is there any way to change the time zone

    My guess is it will be included with new Macs for free going forward, and only costs for existing Macs. Not sure, though, and doesn't seem to be a wise decision to charge for it in my opinion.

    Yes, it definitely sounds like a typical Digital River experience. They're really a mess. Microsoft uses them to fulfill online Microsoft Office orders, and it takes so many steps you want to scream. If there are no other reasons, this is w
