It's hard to imagine anybody having the gumption to talk to Steve Jobs like that.

An American liberal arts education is about way more than acquiring particular technical skills; it's about learning how to analyze a space of competing claims and discovering novel ways of combining them to produce insight. In English cour

Honestly Google's bifurcation in supporting both Chrome OS and Android was, at least to me, a perplexing decision, as they seem fundamentally (competing UI's, similar market) to be incompatible roadmaps. If touch tablets ends up upending th

I think in the last decade "killer" has become something of a cursed moniker. The last person to do a string of "killers" was 90's Bill Gates at Microsoft. When he decided he wanted to take a market, he just took it. Since then products hav

What is perhaps most intriguing here, especially about the antenna problem is that in the field tests they were probably using that iPhone 3G disguise case that Gizmodo revealed Apple testers were using. What's interesting there is that tha

Anybody notice that this is the first time in recent memory that Apple has given the phone to bloggers outside of Baig, Pogue and Mossberg, prerelease? Looks like they sent one to Engadget and Boing Boing. There is a gadget blog, however, t

With all respect to Mr. Swartz, I find it hard to fit the world of Toy Story, broadly speaking, into a widely-stretched political framework, although it is a thoughtful and fun read. Here's how I differ in my read of TS3. Swartz starts by c

This comment applies to non-engineer college students who have ideas for complex websites, big ambitions, and are looking for programming help. This doesn't apply to those looking for spot jobs and minor features. Personally, I've gotten bu

Uh, battey tech? Trackpad? Everywhere you look on Apple products (if you are discerning) you'll see them utilizing the crap out of their hardware control. If I'm not mistaken we're about to see Apple turn up the heat on further hardware dif
