Reddit certainly attempted this a few years ago. They had a 'recommended' tab in their main navigation. It worked about as well as their search at the time (ie. completely useless). If I recall, it was based on your activity (this was pre-s

I remember seeing the leaked Gizmodo photos and thinking "Yep. that's the new iPhone for sure" even though the gaps in the frame seemed so... unApple like? It's certainly been entertaining following the drama from finding out that it was le

No, they admit it's a hardware issue. They're just saying that the software 'readout' overstates the degree of signal loss. Simplified example: Holding the phone the 'wrong' way drops signal strength 20% If the bars displayed signal strengt

"$200 is a lot of money for some people." In the UK, an 'unsubsidized' i4 starts at $630. Even if you only use it as an expensive iPod Touch HD with an unused 3G antenna, the phone costs more than $200 to own, any way you want to look at it

They've re-identified a niche. The "I wanna customize my shit, even if it makes it ghetto" - ala MySpace set. (Except those users don't think they're making a mess of their ability to customize... they think they're expressing themselves, y

"In gmail, google reading my email tells them to sell me product x and we think that's the end of it." I don't want to put on a tin-foil beret, but how much revenue do they actually make from ad-words on the side of GMail? I can't imagine i
