I think the Lenovo build is great, they really did a good job maintaining IBM build quality. The Tx lot might be more bombproof than the Xx series, but I don't know - I haven't had the glorious chance to play witht he x201 / x301 at any gre

IBM can handle the heat. After 1969-1982, IBM's bloody war of attrition... I think the world is a different place, and IBM has savvier lawyers.

Is it a game with profit-earning potential involved for the players, that kind of gambling? I have to say affiliate programs in that context would make me nervous of the sketch-factor. If it's good, it will spread well via word of mouth - e

I have to disagree with part of what seems to be the thesis here, which is that the smartphone market is a zero-sum game of some kind, and that Android is leaving open a door vs. smothering Windows Phone - I think that's a little bit too bi

I think that you have to remember also that Foursquare, in 2004 on that graph, is not about Foursquare... it's about foursquare, I suppose, you know - the game you play with chalk and a playground ball. So I think that that trends graph is

True, but separate from GL in this case... so while watermelon has a high glycemic index, it has SO much water : sugar ratio that it's a very different animal from Pineapple.

The question is how "much" monetization, right...? I think because it's a very tightly targeted group, there is a fair amount of room - whether for some of the more innovative offerings below, or just B2B things for startups - but it seems

I don't know if Posterous wants to get into the business of becoming a mass video repository just yet... but they have quick-embed support for YouTube links, and I could see it as a natural extension if they tried to supplant the YouTube ch

Why not? I think Posterous is right to go for everyone (just about) and as a user I appreciate that. I wish TweetDeck had posterous support :( and I wish there was better integration into my Android world.

I am in the "things were different a few years ago" camp. Joomla was a very fair CMS choice at the time, in particular for more static sites, when compared with Wordpress. If something didn't merit the learning curve and other headaches of

Hearing stories like this makes me think about how things 'used to be done' - what was once common practice now seems like an impressive parlor trick, cool hack, or marathon of hacker cool!

Headline may be meaningless out of context, but when t+1 = 2.5 million users, it's a pretty valid figure I think! I am SUPER impressed with what Posterous has done recently and eagerly look forward to their innovations! I went to reactivate

While I could certainly believe it was fake, isn't there a third option - that it's real, but that Apple is now denying it? No one seems to consider that PR could lie...

Nice piece covering the origins there of the phrase. Lawyer jokes have fallen flat, to me, when they aren't clever... I guess because I know too many lawyers who work for good / not for profit / etc.

Remember, "it just works." The specifics, or the comparisons between the two, are not to be considered, I think. Consider the way that Apple would - particularly in epochs past - long, long lag behind comparably spec'd PCs for upgrades to t

Neat idea! I think it would help if you had some more answers to FAQs; maybe if there was a walkthrough with some photos showing just how easy it is? For instance, it is not evident to me from looking HOW it would payout, or when, etc. Also

More competition always spices things up, so it is sad - but as rendezvouscp notes, maybe good things can be made of the open sourcing! Code (And ideas) live on to blossom another day.

To me, this isn't really RIP... it's just, die, die, go away please, but learn from the mistake. That's my biggest fear; a certain, big $x amount was spent on this, and after folding it into the wash of profits, the important take-aways cou
