You know tablets are here to stay when people start offering tablet-specific publishing as a service. I have no problems with this product -- it seems like an interesting solution to a real problem -- but this is just a ridiculous stateme

Do you really have to turn on the screen just to see if there's anything new? Yes, but I don't think the turning on the screen is the big problem. If I'm wondering if I have messages, updates, etc., turning on the screen is a very minor h

Any chance I could get box.ww.com -> inthatbox.com? Looks like maybe it was in use at one time, but I couldn't tell if it still is. This is great and extremely generous, thank you so much (whether or not it's available)!

For people who have somewhat common names (I know of at least two fairly famous people named "Matt Morris"), there isn't much concern about any controversial stuff popping up if a future employer or something were to google me. Of course, I

It seems like an idea with some potential. They charge the ads' publishers based only on clicks or impressions of saved ads. Saving and storing ads is free on both the users end (obviously) and the publishers end, which means ad publishers

I think a lot of the value one gets from researching the reporters/journalists/bloggers is getting to know their content and getting a sense of the "personality" of each publication, not just finding contact information. That being said, it

This is exactly how I feel, and I think it plays right into the "Advanced Cruise Control" perspective. A mode that one might use on highways (whether on a long trip or stuck in stop-and-go traffic), where there are much lower risks of unexp

While it may not be considered by most as a "startup" at this point, I think that in the long run Wikipedia will have a major impact on education, in the sense of the knowledge base of the average individual. I can't quantify the amount I'v

Slightly off-topic, but interesting - Tesla bought the NUMMI plant this year at a huge discount. They plan to build the Model S there, and owning a factory was a requirement of Tesla receiving the $465 million government loan they got. Acco

Then why are people giving them money? What makes you think that you (or some regulator or something) could do a better job of evaluating their worth. First off, I don't believe that we should impose a different system for valuing people'

... when someone makes money, it's because he's providing something of value to society. And the more money he makes, the more value he's delivering. I agree that people should receive reward in proportion to the value they create, but I

I'm so excited to see these 3D printers becoming more and more advanced. The disruption caused by the Internet so far will be mild compared to what these things will do in the long run. Seemingly this is a long way off, but when consumers

That's nice to hear. I'm nowhere near the upper tax brackets at the moment, but I like to think that I would be okay (and even encouraging) of the taxes I did face in such a situation. I know many people who make lots of money and are bitt

I disagree about there being an ideal age (or, at least that it's 21 -- I'm not quite old enough to make a universal comment!). Are there great things about being young (whether that be 16 or 21)? Sure. But there are a lot of great things a

I think Netflix is aware that their advantage with regards to distribution isn't going to last forever and that they need to focus on getting more (and newer) movies. They seem to be making headway in expanding their catalog - e.g., the $1

Any time you're hoping for someone to pull a Steve Jobs comeback, you're already in deep trouble. There are very, very few Steve Jobs types in the world.

Glad to see them continuing to move forwards. Hopefully HP will do some big things, but we'll have to wait and see. In any case, the more competition in smartphone platforms/OSs, the better. It does look like they're adding some nice touc

Also, Cmd-Shift-Tab and Cmd-Shift-` will walk you through Apps and Windows (respectively) in the opposite direction.

+1 for Launchbar. After going back and forth between Quicksilver and Launchbar for a while, I eventually settled on Launchbar because I found it to be a bit faster. I think Quicksilver is more powerful, but I never really used the addition

Actually the article describes specifically how to do this while avoiding SEO (and no-JS) problems. As with AJAX, the typical philosophy is to design for elegant degradation -- plan the site, then build it to work without JS, then add in th

It'll be really cool if Amazon ever figures out colour on the kindle. Actually, the display is made by eInk, not by Amazon. There are color versions in development, last I heard they should be going in to mass production around the end of

I'm sure there would be speed issues, but Google is really supportive of Python right? Wink wink, nudge nudge. (I've heard about the Android Scripting Environment, but it sounds like that is not as fully supported as might be ideal).

This seems an odd reply to me. I don't think the parent suggests anywhere that there aren't legitimate gripes about the phone, just that it isn't a 'dud'. A dud is something which completely fails to operate - a bomb that doesn't explode,

I'm on the same page as you. I had the original iPhone up until I just bought the iPhone 4, and I never had a case on my old one. I just always keep my phone with my wallet in my left pocket, and keys, coins, etc. in my right pocket. Withou

This is a ridiculous response to a serious issue, but what confuses me is how some iPhones seem to be affected while others aren't. If it's just a matter of a short between the antennas due to a bad design decision, shouldn't it be univers
