   Thanks for saying something nice about him. Not many in the mainstream (liberals, center right, neo-cons, etc) are as gracious.

   "depression is a disease" Cure the depressives and you kill a great deal of literature, art, music, and other poetic forms of expression. Even as we approach a world dominated by engineering and social sciences, people will still find a way

   Chips are becoming an insignificant part of the total cost, and, increasingly, the overall experience. Nexus Q is made with die cast zinc, has moving parts, and weighs 2 lbs. The Nexus 7 is plastic, has no moving parts, and weighs 0.75 lb.

   thanks but i wouldn't go that route for several reasons. i like the idea of simple, normal, default speakers. they are not tied to any standard like airplay and they just do one thing well - make sound. a wireless audio signal may suffer f

   It has a built in amplifier so it eliminates the need for other audio hardware. Apple TV looks too small to have an amp. As someone who hates audio hi-fi hardware and all the related nonsense, I think I'm sold. For example, it can power a

    If you are logged into Gmail with voice then Obitalk will not ring when you get a call. Google Voice will only ring one Google Chat endpoint. You have to sign out of all other Gmail and Google Chat sessions for it to work. It's a nice solu

    There is more to the time dimension than just chronology. The amount of time between events, the frequency of events, etc?

    The problem is how to isolate the Google brand and product from the effects of platformization so that you don't kill the world's best cat while using shock therapy to turn him into a dog.

    I don't see any striking legal or logical clarity in these writing samples. What I do see is a thinly veiled attempt to celebrate her ideological positions.

    Both the article and the comments were unsophisticated. The big surprise is that the new Byte has no backbone. A strong journal doesn't withdraw an opinion piece when readers get offended, even when the offended are Apple users. I miss the

    Glossy screens. Big apple logo on screen lid. (Ignore the marketers and stop putting logos on the hardware. Let the hardware design speak for itself.) Difficult to service internal parts on certain models. Trash lacks restore. Poor window m

    Only someone of the software ilk could read Le Corbusier as a literal and relevant how-to guide. Le Corbusier is simply part of architecture culture. An architect who does not read Le Corbusier is illiterate. An engineer who does not read T

    Dvorak is just trying to play on the "Google knows too much" sentiment. He's usually wrong and sometimes a jerk. In this case it's both.
