It's also like saying: some people don't want to think about syncing. I have a feeling that's the reasoning, more than anything else. It removes a piece of complexity with a very specific, conscious trade-off. That said, I use syncing to Dr

This section, primarily, argues that the atomic bomb created a political out for the Japanese government: > Attributing the end of the war to the atomic bomb served Japan's interests in multiple ways. But it also served U.S. interests.

The last section of the article actually argues against the article's stated conclusion, and it supports the statement you've replied to. This section, in particular: > Attributing the end of the war to the atomic bomb served Japan's in

It's certainly not "logic," I wouldn't call it paranoia. Consider that some people just like to be more in control of their lives than they are, and they see that small bit of control slipping away every day. If you don't understand compute

That's true, but he's also talking about the kind of skilled labor that robots don't, and probably won't, do for a very long time: handy man, around-the-house kind of work. I just had a guy come over today and fix my sink. I was sitting dow

He should've pulled out the "sheep's balls on my chin" story from his TED talk. That would've been way more convincing. ;-)

That's a very interesting legal angle. I'd love to know if a lawyer could confirm if that's a valid way to look at it.

Agreed. I don't think Apple really loses that much money to people who want to do DIY upgrades. This change really only inconveniences the uber-geeks among us. However, on that note, the iMac has always been the hardest computer to upgrade.

I'm on Time Warner in California, and I'm not able to access the site either. Likely some other issue.

It's compelling, but it feels like catchup. And I can't see why Google didn't go farther. Whatever Apple's rebranded MobileMe turns out to be, it's almost certainly going to be more ambitious than Google and Amazon's services. Google has to

They need to do more. Not having to think about updates at all on iOS devices is absolutely huge for adoption. My mom doesn't care about "Gingerbread" or "Honeycomb." She just wants something that she understands and won't confuse her later

Even Apple's hastily thrown together tour of their antenna facility was sexier than this. Wow. I've never seen someone so awkward in front of a green screen before.

I think it's clear from Jobs' philosophy as the PC as the truck that he wants to make the iMac the new Mac Pro. Thunderbolt's the first step in making it possible to add the customization options of the Mac Pro to the iMac as a peripheral.

I've fallen in love with my keyboard. I'm very used to the Macbook Pro's keyboard size and style, and the Apple Wireless keyboard perfectly replicates that experience. I use it with the trackpad, and it's a joy, especially doing video editi

No, you're right. It's not Google's fault that someone at Motorola didn't have the balls to say, "This just isn't ready for prime time" and put it off until it really was done. But Google is still dragging its feet on making Android ready f

Google is also not really a hardware company. Their primary focus is software. Competing competently in the tablet market is really stretching Google's strengths as a company. I think they can do it eventually, but it's going to be a long l

This looks totally normal and sounds really good faith. It's not like Facebook can say no to a warrant, but they make it clear they're only going to give up your information if 1) there's an emergency, and they have a good faith belief that

It's just better business to make the price $0. $5 doesn't seem expensive. It just seems... odd.

I think you've both hit on and missed the point of the article at the same time. We think war = technological progress because that's how it happened in our civilization. We're biased toward that line of thinking because the evidence -- o

iOS is like a magazine, Apple are the editors, and the developers are the writers. Apple has every right to do whatever they want with their channel, even if it's a stupid move. You wouldn't tell "Time" they have no right to publish who the
