That broken link in the article is working fine for me. Did Google repair the issues with the Deja News archive?

I do think a lot of good minds are being wasted on pretty meaningless endeavors - simply to make investors happy. But that is capitalism in a nutshell. Money talks, everything else walks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing capitalism, e

Yet we are moving towards an industry where "the fully re-programmable computer" no longer exists.

The ironic thing is that we lose the right to be free from searches, because we lost the right to defend ourselves. It is often the case where the Second Amendment is absent, so goes the Fourth.

I would stipulate (using statistics) that the threat of harm in airports and on airplanes is very very low. Therefore, the searches ARE unreasonable. What "threat" are we defending ourselves against? I also stipulate that removal of the se

Someone else did an analysis of airline travel and highway travel and came up with a similar finding. Blow up one plane per month over the continental US and flying would still be two orders of magnitude safer than driving or riding in an

It may not be widely deployed outside the US, but that doesn't mean new devices shouldn't support the new standards. Imagine if when Microsoft was designing Windows 7 they said "well, no one is using IPv6 right now so we won't include any s

Most people DO have access to LTE. Verizon's network covers 250 Million people in the US, and their 4G footprint will equal that of their 3G network by next year sometime (2013). http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/verizons-shammo-well-fi

I'm sorry. I don't think the GNex vs. Nexus 4 decision is as cut and dried as this reviewer makes it. Storage: The Nexus 4 has only 16GB of storage, with no way to expand (GNex had 32GB). That's a step backward IMO. Screen: Yeah, yeah, ye

Facebook killed Flickr for casual users, stop. That's all you need to say really. Flickr isn't about casual users. It's about the interface, categorization, and other usability features specific to photography that other platforms don't o

Whatev. So one search result (or even 100) are better on Google. Bing could be better at other things. The problem is no one uses Bing, so it's hard to know. http://imgur.com/peK58

Uh, hey Forrester, the real "HEROs" are the ones that take a couple of hours on their own time to streamline a bloated Windows install rather than wasting company resources to get a Mac working in a primarily Microsoft based infrastructure.

I see a lot of differences in hue/saturation between the S95/5D and the iPhone 4/4S. Reds are redder, blues are bluer. Over saturated images can definitely be pleasing, but typically are not natural. If the S95 was set to "Vivid" in the c

He misses the point entirely. If one wants to do in Windows what he suggests is so integral to Finder one uses the "recent files" link in the Start menu or any open file dialog. The purpose of the original blog post was to improve what Wi
