Attaching it with a wire limits your movements and has the potential to get tangled. Where does it go when the stylus is tucked away? If it retracts then does it have a button to make it retract, or does it retract automatically causing con

How does one track an RFID chip? It's not a homing beacon. One would have to be constantly bumping up against readers to get that effect.

Were they really going to buy iPads though? Maybe they wanted an iPad but were not going to buy one.

It's not a threat unless people stop buying iPads. How you do you get from "interest in the Fire" to "lack of interest in the iPad"? They don't compete on price. They're not really even the same class of device. This is just another pointle

Here in Canada where the oligopoly of telcos locks you into 3 year contracts many people in my family still use their 3GS. In fact everyone in my immediate family with an iPhone has the 3GS (as did I until May when mine broke). Also worth

That's good advice, thanks! It's hard but I'm trying to be genuinely curious about others. There's nothing worse than someone pretending to be interested, asking questions and then not really listening to the answers. I try to avoid being t

I guess the question for those of us who aren't inherently interested in people is how do we build such an interest, curiosity, and love for everyone? You can't just read Be Here Now and suddenly be enlightened and feel one with the world.

You can deliver Growl support built-in to your app, users just won't be able to customize the appearance and tweak other knobs unless they buy Growl themselves. Seems like a very reasonable compromise to me.

First of all this isn't a released feature. Secondly why must it be cross-platform to be useful? If it's mainly for sharing things between Pages, Keynote, and Numbers then there's no point having it on any platform besides iOS and OS X.
