The Apple TV just isn't an attractive offering in the UK at the moment. No TV rentals, poor selection of Films, nothing like Netflix. The UK clock has me in agreement with you. Making the Apple TV a value proposition in the UK.

I'm not sure incentivising reviewers is the problem here. It's the respect given to 'pure' non-financially motivated advice that generates trust. The democratization of information that the internet seems to promise is in direct competition

I'm not sure that's such an unpopular opinion. And if it is, I'd ask the naysayers to entertain the thought that the definition of a 'monopoly' might be different in the digital age (as so very many other mutable concepts are).

Existential. Push button anyway. The other way lies nihilism. No.. no... don't push the button. It's the only way not to be sure.

And another reason for doing it in the first place might have been to artificially inflate digg counts across the board to mask the lack of site activity after the exodus of so many users.

The values prescribed to things by economists and environmentalists rarely align. From my understanding (admittedly, limited) both ocean trawling and aquaculture are both unsustainable. Over-fishing isn't sustainable, but that's what we're

Obvious 'features' such as cameras often disappear from Apple products for first iterations only to reappear later (even when the tech-goss blogs reveal the chassis has engineered space from the outset)... iPod Touch, iPad etc...

I think you need to listen to the audio podcast version before you disparage the style of exposition they use. The Planet Money folk unashamedly try and explain economic current affairs and stories as simply as possible. It's essentially th

This highlights a major frustration (one of many) I have with the iTunes customer review system. I can only buy things from the UK store, so I only see aggregate reviews and ratings from UK people. If I want to see how an app/song/movie/tvs

Without a citation, it's impossible verify your claim, but even with one, I'd be dubious about a 'piece' that purports to 'point out' (read: make an authoritative claim as proof) that... well, let's just say I don't think you read an articl

Assuming you're not simply being facetious, what would that look like? Some sort of meta-rss feed that delivers a 'best-of' for weekend perusal? Perhaps it could be collated/curated and then printed in a handy offline version for weekend di

Did you seriously just compare The Daily Show to Nazi Propaganda films? (And there's no way I accept that it's a socialist hate campaign... that's straight out of Glenn Beck rhetoric land).

My thoughts exactly. Can't we simply ignore a bunch of nuts in a small town in Florida who want to start a fire in their backyard? It's the same way I feel about terrorism. Can't we just accept the unfortunate loss of life that occurs when

I'd also argue that an uncontroversial definition for 'good design' would be design that functions best for the majority of users. That somewhat explains the trends you see in design, because when we employ a convergent design standard, it'

Good design is about form following function, and is very dependent on the technology available, you're right. It's not arbitrary however. Here are some essentially inviolate principles of good design: http://graphicdesign.spokanefalls.e
