Professional ethics are based on the obligations that come with specialized knowledge and responsibility. Even professions that are solidly middle class are seen as having duties and obligations. Librarians are expected, for example, to re

"Cool" and "appealing" and "innovative" are inherently subjective. Nevertheless, "Apple is getting in the way of us getting neat things" seems a more plausible source of the anger expressed than, than to believe that people have deeply hel

All the early adopters already have their Xboxes. The iPhone is lame and tired, and there was nothing at Apple's WWDC that had any wow. For the moment, the fun stuff is coming from the Android ecosystem, and Apple is getting in the way of

It is appealing to see a down-voting complaint for an unpopular opinion related to a comment which dismisses a trend on Google+ being irrelevant because the network is relatively unpopular. I doubt the 75 million people who use Google+ cons

I am not sure the 75 million active daily users of Google+ consider the product a failure.

Given how ho-hum Apple's WWDC was, they may as well go the lawsuit route. Maybe there will be a market in the judicary for a phone with an amazing "do not disturb" feature.

Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross, which provides disaster relief, first aid training, and large amount of the blood that saves people's lives in the US. I suspect that she is less well known than many historical figures with no h

The difference they are promoting is sharing search engine results, and other content: http://www.so.cl/about/faq For example, I created a post about a tabletop game I ran this weekend, and was able to search within the posting process an

What is odd to me is the parocial yardstick that the TED curator is reportedly using to judge what's controversial. "We already have Melinda Gates on contraception" With whom other than the socially conservative wing of the US Republican pa

Oh, come on. I'm a "product person". Fundamentally we explain the customer to the company, explain the company to the customers, and obsess over the business model. Fun, interesting challenges, sure. But the team is the DNA, vision, and

Personally, I find helpful Adam Sessler's distinction that video games may not be art, but they are certainly culture. Of course, the word "art" means some many different and contridictory things to so many different people (and often to th

To build on this point, once stock versions of Android are generally available, having a non-stock version of Android would only be an advantage to manufacturers if they were adding something of genuine value to consumers, or to a segment o

Indeed. Google was already "won". Anything more in the mobile space is just a cherry on top. Even with tablets, Google is far better off with there being two players successful in this space, rather than it being just Apple and irrelevant

It seems possible that a site based on a web comic about video games may well often be viewed at night rather than during business hours. Penny Arcade is reported to have several million readers, and has extended this success to run a serie

It is true, as the article correctly points out, people often misinterpret average life expectancy, because they don't fully take on board the impact of child mortality. That being said, the "grandmother hypothesis", that our ancestors gain

Searching isn't perfected today, so no one at Google should have or articulate a vision for 20 years in the future? That attitude must make one a real buzz kill around 13 year olds. "You haven't mastered your classes for this semester yet,

There are over 5 billion cellphone subscriptions in the world. There are more cellphone subcriptions than TVs, automobiles, or toilets. According to Pew 46% of American adults already have smartphones. This number is increasing rapidly. Ap

I'm not sure you or I are the people most in need of a solution like this. Consider, there are over 5 billion active cell phone subscriptions in the world. That's more cell phones than toothbrushes or toilets. And smart phones are being ado

Very thoughtful examination of the issues surrounding Zynga's cloning of Tiny Tower. We hardly need another thicket of IP law ossifying game mechanics. Yet shameless, mindless cloning deserves contempt and shame.

Further, the ability to swap back and forth between personalized and unpersonalized views makes the differences visable to users in a simple immediate way, so we can each make our own mind up about the tradoffs between relevence and "echo".

One might have hoped that a leader in a democratic society would have thought carefully and fully before suggesting that a type of media be regulated or restricted. It is sad that Cameron instead chooses to indulge in irresponsible speculat

Trying to overhang the market may be trendy, but it's certainly not new. Anyway, in the absence of any reason to believe that this thing, whatever it is, will solve some problem in a compelling new way, revealing it's existence doesn't acco
