That's voice. Is it just me, or did he manage to attract a particularly disgusting set of sycophants dribbling all over the comments? Possibly even worse than the f_c_book stench now emanating from comments on most any TechCrunch topic ..

It's a sandwich. If the glue has zero thermal resistance, the silicon does not. Science, my foot.

Note to Microsoft PR flacks: it now behooves you to rail against the oppressive Linux monoculture. Also, there must be quite a few underdog skins hanging in your walls, try donning one of them for greater effect. (But do not kill whatever s

Nothing good is going to come out of Google's obsession with "social". It's a fool's errand that may end up costing them the company. If they succeed, they become what, fuckbook with coupons? And move on to organizing the world's stupidity

He may be enjoying it. Not everybody gets to attend their own eulogy, and in this case, in tone and volume, it verges on deification. Speaking of which, is there a comedian with balls to publish an Apocolocyntosis?
