A huge one that was omitted, questions of the class: how much does this thing cost? Is this thing any good? What's the best X I can buy? Amazon.

Amusingly, there was one technical snafu during the presentation. Steve's clicker stopped responding [1]! Of course, the way he handled it, in my opinion, made the presentation that much better and that much more human. 1) http:/

Intentionally? Makes sense. Not like they manufacture dedicated external displays with built in MagSafe adapters.

Some have made the objection that phone benchmarks should test the CPU and removing the underclocking is entirely appropriate. Isn't this somewhat intellectually dishonest though? A phone is a system, and how fast the CPU can run given

Could it be that it was Android that hurt Blackberry and Nokia more than the iPhone did? Low end Android phones definitely replaced a lot of Symbian phones in the marketplace. It would certainly explain the timing of the change. The point

I don't think anybody made the claim that no app is spam, only, from what I can tell, that no iOS built-in app is spam. Which is more than lots of Android phones can say about their built-in apps.

The common definition of spam is something that most people consider junk but a few people might use, thus justifying inflicting it upon everyone. Your definition is almost the opposite: something that most people find useful but that you

Is the phone app spam if I want nothing to do with it? The music app if I don't listen to music? Get real. There's a difference between Newsstand, which exists because it's very common for touch-device users to consolidate th

"you don’t have to enter your password" != "you don't need a password" As I understand it every now and again Apple will prompt you to enter your passcode/password, such as when you restart your device or if yo

I think Gruber's point about "Apple not innovating anymore" is especially apt. One needn't look beyond the diff quality between iPhones (or iPad!) under Jobs. The diffs have held constant, if not increased, under Cook [1

Since when was traveling salesman trivial? I'm only using 5 people with 3 cars as an example. In reality it's hundreds upon hundreds of people and proportionally fewer cars. I understand there are challenges with dealing with huma

I'm referring to logistics. I have 3 cars available and a set of 5 passengers, their coordinates, and their destination coordinates. How do I efficiently deliver these 5 passengers that minimizes their wait time and travel distance? Pl

Probably the operational expertise in efficiently getting cars to pick up and drop off people at arbitrary points throughout a city. They're building that expertise right now with human drivers.

I think the idea is that you would not have to own, maintain, and park a car if you could summon one on a whim.

Cool! 2 thoughts: 1) Would be cool if it were a dry erase surface, both for writing the month on it and circling important dates, etc. 2) Many have mentioned the 31 days problem, but that's solved with a magnet of some kind to cover t

Additionally, incumbent mobile A/B testing service http://www.leanplum.com -- I've used them for a while now and it's a pretty robust system with good support. Worth checking out IMO.

He said they weren't religious about not supporting their software on multiple platforms. If that were true, iTunes would be on Android. How does that follow? I think it's a rather strong signal that they're going to do it. Let's not forg

The discount also tells us "you should buy this now, because if you buy it later, the price may go up." But who cares if it's average or even poor value at the current discount? My thinking should be, "which item offers me the best value

What's sad is that these tendencies can be exploited (see attached pictures in my original post) and that we'll subject ourselves to all kinds of stress with regards to deal hunting just to find a bargain that might not end up being a barga

It's a sad state of affairs in American consumerism that folks are attracted more to discounts than low prices . Johnson's plan made sense: lower prices to what average selling prices are during promotions and cut back on promotions. Low

Since you're using this with one hand, tapping anywhere other than the area where your thumb naturally rests would be uncomfortable. Not any more uncomfortable than single tapping any other part of the screen one-handed. Of course this de
