For iPod users, that is entirely reasonable (since they are basically required to have headphones handy to use the device at all), and that is exactly what we did. For iPhone users, who never took their headphones out of the box, or lost th

While half-baked conspiracy theories are fun, a good journalist would've consulted a few more sources to get to the bottom of this story. FM radio requires a large antenna. It will not work without one. The 5th generation iPod nano (20

None of the articles I've read about this answer the one question that matters to me: Will I be able to land (and base) my plane at Google-run Moffett Field?

In addition to the sketchy mathematical foundation, there's another reason to not draw too many conclusions from this observation: your company, product, and customers are probably quite unlike Southwest Airlines. For starters, airline cust

Personally I love to see Facebook's stock languish. Not because I dislike Facebook, but because it's great to see the market react rationally to an over-hyped tech stock. FB is arguably the most hyped IPO in history. There was a blockbuster

Don't fall into the trap of comparing Apple's feature list with that of other vendors. Apple makes these lists of new features to compare one version of OS X to the last, but they don't make those grids full of green check marks and red X's

I can't help but think that the success of the iPhone and iPad has caused a big step back in usability among devices that try to copy them. Two similar examples: Garmin's newer aircraft GPS units have touch screens instead of knobs and bu

I was disappointed by the lack of an "a million dollars isn't cool..." pitch. That being said, I think he did a fine job of endearing himself to the Spotify team by stroking their egos a bit and demonstrating that he's like minded. All you

Does anyone here remember when Facebook had this feature back in 2004/2005? It was a little simpler, but exactly the same idea. They killed it a long time ago, but I guess they just decided to bring it back. The dude in the video has sure a

Just this past week I've finally stopped checking Google+ because I only ever saw posts from my Google employee friends. Am I the exception or the rule here? Is Google+ getting any traction? I prefer it to Facebook and hoped it would take o

Apple needs someone who has wired their mind to think just like Steve Jobs. Someone who is able to rationally explain all of the decisions made at Apple, even the ones that look downright crazy to most outsiders. Someone who has spent the l

In fact, Facebook lists already do everything he praises Circles for in this article. They might even do a little more (e.g. share with List A, excluding anyone in List B). As he correctly notes later in the article, the lists feature is no

Your comparison assumes that the average lifetime of a hard drive is 1 month. I sure hope that's not the case! Also, don't forget bandwidth charges if e.g. some of your s3 access does not come from ec2.
