A friend of mine has a Kindle w/Special Offers. He actually bought two, having lost one on an airplane. Apparently the special offers were good enough that he easily paid for both. At this point, I'm wishing I could opt in my Kindle 3.

For me, the problem is that Facebook constantly wants me to overshare, and I feel like I constantly need to pull back. It's never just "authenticate with Facebook", it's "Authenticate with Facebook, give the app 30 different ways to violate

Netflix has one thing that most streaming video sites don't, and that's massive market penetration. In my living room, I have 5 devices capable of Netflix streaming, as well as every mobile device I own. Amazon is probably second with the

I really don't know how to feel about Posterous at this point. When I signed up in the early days, it was awesome. They were the simple and concise, yet ridiculously powerful alternative to tumblr - email post@posterous.com, get a blog. I l

Kindle (and Nook, and Adobe) DRM has been super-easy to crack for a while now. You can even set up Calibre to do it for you.

I certainly don't blame them for continuing to play the game as it's currently played. I was just hoping that they would also look into other, broader, more beneficial options.

I'm kind of disappointed that the word "reform" doesn't show up anywhere in this article. Indeed, one of the main courses of action they're taking is to "strengthen our own patent portfolio"…

I found this especially odd, since the Rome music video gave a similar warning, but let you continue and worked fine in Firefox 5.

I'm curious as well. While I haven't upgraded any older projects, I started a new project on 3.1.rc4 several weeks ago and (besides deprecation warnings for some testing tools) have had very few problems that grabbing a newer gem couldn't f

I haven't checked yet, but I'm hoping they've done something with multitasking and home-screen web apps; right now web apps reload from scratch every time you re-enter them, which makes for a pretty terrible user experience compared to na

I don't think Apple has an IR filter; IR blasters show up as bluish-white - handy for testing remote controls.

According to AnandTech's tests [1] (the ones you linked to), the 13" gets over 11 hours in OS X - the 11" is just under 7. [1]: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3991/apples-2010-macbook-air-1...

You say you get 3-4 hours in Linux, but the benchmarks you link to claim easily 7 hours in OS X (though dramatically less if you max out the CPU). Are you pretty much always at high CPU utilization, or is Ubuntu's power management of Mac ha

That's an issue with one service in one region offered by Amazon Web Services, not "the cloud" as a concept. Use this as an example of the reliability of EBS (or if you want to broaden the scope, Amazon Web Services) all you want, but this

"The cloud", as I understand it, is the ubiquitous, cheap and near-instantaneous availability of computing power; as in minutes instead of hours or days for new servers. "The cloud" is not (and never has been) a cure-all for reliability iss
