Yup - while I am a GIANT AirPlay nerd, the interactions between the second screen and the main display is the big feature of this. Unless this handles "I am watching YouTube on my iPad and want it bigger" better than AirPlay (which is doubt

Also - playing games like Madden - you can have a playbook on your tablet, and thus keep the other team from seeing the type of play you are picking. There are a ton of games that benefit from the 'second screen' without busting immersion.

In what I have seen, it looks like he has been extremely fair, and is generally not ok with bullshit from either side. For a case that could have such big implications, its refreshing to see.

Mostly the shoddy/incorrect/fake accounting issues that have gotten them in hot water with the SEC. Actually, that is (in my mind) the biggest current one - the sales stuff is bad, but the accounting and operations stuff is Bad.

I don't think it is - Its linked at the top of http://www.groupon.com/occasions , which can be gotten to from their normal flow. This is totally real.

You must not have read the article. The challenge was to pull up the weather in 2 different cities (later, the manager said 2 cities in different states) The reps phone just "happened" to have LiveTiles setup so that the weather in 2 cities

When I worked at a gas station, it was 50-50 between those with lucky numbers and those with theories about where the prizes fell (i.e. higher tickets were less lucky )

Yeah, reading that again this AM, I totally missed that point. Somehow read it as the inverse. I agree with it 100%

Ah, my mistake. It was late, and looking at it again, I mis-read it. So, great example!

Bad example: we buy them for the thrill of driving fast. The #1 thing on my list when I was car shopping was how it felt on twisty roads and freeway entrance ramps - and I got a new Focus, not a 458. Shirts don't cause adrenaline responses

I know Reeder is adding Fever as a login in the next iPhone version - maybe we could get NewsBlur on that list somewhere

On your first point - they are doing away with the skeuomorphism that some of their UI had. (I totally agree with the rest of your critique.)

There is sharing notes between users though - I have several shared notebooks, each holding shared notes.

If I recall, this is also why FaceTime, when it left beta, cost $.99.

Why is it that a consumer product can not also be a workhorse? I have been running Lion and do not feel that it makes my computer less of a workhorse. I dont think that ML will make it less of a workhorse. I see this update as adding a bunc

Really? On a machine that makes Apple a ton of money from developers (where do you think most iPhone apps are written) will get an OS without a command prompt? And you can see this happening?

I think part of the reason for the title is that the study suggests that piracy is a symptom, not a cause. They are saying if the studios were releasing worldwide at the same time, that piracy would be largely nullified (at least my read of

I remember some recent rumors that Vevo was thinking of moving to Facebook for the hosting part of their venture.

Responding to your last sentence, there was a comment on the blog post that they are being vague to not give anything away to the attackers. If they start describing the attack (even how they perceive it) and/or mitigation steps, they are g

However, this is a great alternative to people looking to host their own, with some of the recent moves Google has been making. Also, it increases the bus factor of your communications, which is never a bad thing.

His discussions and examples for why we wont be able to travel back in time are perfect for explaining the concept for people. He manages to communicate such high level stuff in such a great way on that show (well, always, but the show is m

What I meant by the 10 foot pole part is now, when asked by people about getting a domain, more people than before will actively go against GoDaddy. By itself not a huge change, but with everything else I think they actually got hurt long t

By definition from the webspam team, its not. Its SEO. Google bombs are getting someone else's site to rank. [Citation: http://searchengineland.com/should-rick-santorums-google-pro... , about half way down]

by mitchellhislop 15y ago
However, when you look at how many of those are GoDaddy transferring in their own domains from their other properties, it becomes an actual loss. If NameCheap is to be trusted, they had like 80K come in the week before, and another 36K come

He was - he pirated because there was no other way to get the content he had paid for. In some cases, there is no other way, period. When X condition is "Getting something I paid for", I have respect. Look at what happened here - a rather w

by mitchellhislop 15y ago
This is the point that I hope gets taken away from this - piracy is often a last resort or because of the company people are pirating from, not out of laziness, greed, or wanting it for free. Sure, that does happen, but I have seen a lot of

Flin Flon? Canada is awesome. Mostly, we have ATT, VZW, TMO, and Sprint duking it out over most of the customers, while second tier carriers (regional, usually) and MVNOs clean up the scraps. Not too many are doing much of note in terms of
