A tangential question for PG: whatever happened to perhaps showing logarithmic point values? If I remember correctly, you were seriously considering this. Personally, I like it better without the points now. But I do still wish there was an

If I recall correctly, right after the switch there was a significant majority that wanted the points back. A month later, it was a 50/50 split. I'm incline to believe now that the trend would suggest more people are happy without the point

Love what Gabriel's doing with DDG. Assuming Apple maintains its policy of only allowing the Big 3 (Google, Bing, Yahoo) as default search engines in iOS, anyone know a way to manually add custom search engines? I know DDG has an app, but i

I believe Walter Isaacson/his publisher moved up the date because the manuscript was simply done early, not at Steve's request. Also, it was most likely moved up to sell more during the holiday quarter. From what little information has been

They probably don't want to worry about backwards compatibility. By focusing exclusively on the newest model, they can maximize the power of the feature.

Link? The lowest I've seen is $299 for a refurbished iPad 1 a while back when Apple was trying to clear them out.

Looks like Bloomberg got early access and published before the actual press conference by accident. The most relevant details: The Kindle Fire will have a 7-inch display and sell for $199, compared with $499 for Apple’s cheapest iPad, Amaz

I'm a big fan of the WhatFont bookmarklet, which seems to do the same thing in a simpler, more user-friendly way. http://chengyinliu.com/whatfont.html

Little-known fact: the Nook Color (vastly) outsells the e-ink Nook. I was surprised too.

I'm in the same boat. EDGE speeds were painfully slow, but 3G is more than good enough. Unless you're streaming from Netflix or downloading large files, I don't think LTE will make much of a difference to the vast majority of consumers.

I think that probably has more to do with hitting bookshelves in time for the lucrative holiday season.

Chrome on Windows has a flag that you can set to get vertical tabs, but it's a flat list (no tree style). Tree style tabs are the #1 reason I use Firefox (though many of Chrome's other advancements are mighty tempting).
