Really? This sounds pretty weak reasoning to buy a company for a half-decent OS. a) Performance is never bad on blackberries - what are you talking about? Always far better performance than my iphone. b) You are complaining about a 3rd pa

Sure the best bet for palm, but not for RIM. I think people are missing the point with RIM. Their existing operating system has a very solid foundation. Everything low level is very optimized for two things important on mobile: battery li

The new OS version is coming out shortly I believe. But what exactly is it in need of? My only complaint is their menuing system is not very pretty.

This feels like a 1960s article stating: TV ads don't work because people change the channel when commercials are on!

Excellent point. As much as I would want to ban auto-tune, it just isn't the right thing to do. Apple: Stop banning auto-tune.

I don't know that anyone is blaming the individuals here. The individual on the gun repeatedly got approval to engage and wikileaks posted the rules of engagement as well as the video. I agree about the system put them into the situation a

Yes, I would become a 'terrorist' if that means fighting with any means necessary. In Iraq that means IED's. A childhood friend of mine just returned from Afghanistan missing an arm and leg from an IED. He understands why they use those t

Two very different lessons here. First the value of NOT having url shorteners. Wikipedia is much different than youtube in this situation. Second...the value of a long term partner. Preferably with a steady hand.

It might make sense to learn from AllAdvantage. If you are going to pay people to read email, people will generate thousands of email accounts and auto-readers.

I find the whole 'drive to the gym' concept kind of funny from a cynical sense. These folks are going to drive to the gym and then run on a treadmill facing a brick wall?

Ah, evil. Such an interesting concept. What is right and wrong, not only now but what will be looked upon as wrong in the future? I would bet that pyre is right - these dealer/smugglers will not be considered evil if you look back on the

Wouldn't comparing the actual numbers with a line that represented both inflation and increases in disposable income be most fair? In which case from my eyeballing: a) Credit card debt has doubled b) Personal lines of credit have tripled -

Probably? They decided the whole world isn't prepared to see boobies on their phones and that doesn't even compete with one of their own products.

This app really does look like it is a match for the iPad. I would consider doing this: A) Make the iphone app free or 1$, get as many users as possible B) Approach whoever owns rights to sheet music, music lessons, etc C) Allow them to sel

Trying to do both would have been a more unfair choice, and the much safer and easier road to take.

He is a self-made pop artist. He was a producer, and then wrote, performed and produced his own album. Creating pop rap is not particularly common - and he leads the genre with creativity that everyone follows for a few years after.
