The Crunchpad would have basically been a neat tech-toy for the people who had the disposable income to toss at it. At the price point which they were planning to sell it, it would have been the same price as most netbooks. Since it cater

Don't many mobile phones include stopwatch applications? I know my Sony Ericsson from 2004 had one. Having neither an iPhone nor an Android phone, I do not know whether they include stopwatches, but I would be more likely to use a native ap

Maybe because Mac users running Parallels or VMWare Fusion must buy retail copies of Windows, which are more expensive than OEM versions? Or perhaps because keeping Mac users dependent on Windows software helps keep market share high?

I thought that this looked a lot like an iBook. Considering that the Cell microprocessor in the PS3 is from the same architecture as the CPUs in iBooks and PowerBooks, one might consider this the realization of an alternate history (where A

I think it is interesting that slide 15 of the presentation suggests buying a domain with equity as a possible option. The comments at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=813774 (rightly, I think) suggest that this is a bad idea.
