The Apple brand is really strong. I was reminded of this recently when I started seeing a lot of tweets along the lines of "Now that I've been using the iPhone 6 for a while, the iPhone 5 looks like a postage stamp. I can't g

I'm a little curious. I use Skype semi regularly and it seems to work just fine for me. But it seems everyone here hates it. Are there some "power user" features that don't work well or something?

Silly question, why does the author only approximate the number of possible positions in chess?

Microsoft has been "dying" for as long as I can remember. The truth, however, is that they have continued to be a very healthy and well run business for far, far longer than any of their peers can ever claim. The "Microsoft i

That's interesting but it implies I cannot tell the time if my arms are at rest on a table or say, hovered over my keyboard.

If this thing catches on they will end up with a literal treasure trove of useful data that can be mined for some pretty mind bogglingly accurate stats on some aspects of our health. I like this sort of thing but I can also understand why s

> And it's pretty expensive. Nice blanket statement there. How can you claim it's expensive when you have no idea what or how he uses it?

Just realized how much I hate the term "change the world" that is so prevalent in start up culture these days. I suppose "World" could mean whatever you want it to mean though.

The authors of this piece are very brave. In a few weeks Gruber will be calling them jackasses in his claim chowder post.

Yep. It's a fashion accessory first. Not sure how Sony missed that.

Ahh, they missed a trick. Where Apple is going to kill them isn't even on functionality, but customizability. That's especially ironic considering it's iOS vs Android.

Slightly off topic, but it depresses me greatly that maintaining/building roads is STILL such an expensive endeavor. How are poor countries ever supposed to have passable public transit systems?

I've always thought I had a problem with reading. Whenever I read fiction, I read the text as though it is being spoken. So I've never joined a book club because I've always been afraid I'd never be able to finish a book

The Moto 360 is a watch. Why are you comparing it to a phone?

The Africa tie in here is beyond stupid. Not to be flippant but Africa is the absolute last place anything "Apple" will take hold.

Well he could easily retort that the if you're going to make a phone this big, do it right, make it as light as possible. I assume the iPhone 6 is lighter than the equivalently sized Galaxy phones.

I haven't seen anything on battery life actually. You have some estimates?

They actually got one result wrong actually. I believe they predicted 15 out of 16 match results correctly.

This is so revisionist. That thing had two screens. How much would it have weighed? What would the battery life have been like? How much would it have cost. These things matter.

Love the show. Pretty sure I saw one guy using the Windows Phone emulator, which made me do a silent fist pump. But hey, it's TV :-)

Hmm, so nobody has brought up the possibility of some sort of Apple + Nike collusion (for lack of a better word) here? Cook sits on the Nike board. Who's to say he didn't let the folks at Nike in on what Apple were working on and

I'm almost certain the thief asks someone to watch her bag within earshot of her victim as a subconscious way to let her victim know that she too (the thief) believes that random strangers can be trusted. I feel sorry for the victim bu

This is the first I'm hearing of Skydrive being considered a failure. What is that based on exactly?

The article clearly says "In the February 2014 Web Server survey Netcraft found 27,000 web-facing computers (both Windows and Linux) using the cloud computing platform."

Heh, people will keep laughing at Windows Phone, until they won't. This is a very good phone platform you're ignoring.

Funny enough, Diebold, one of the leaders in ATM manufacturing and ATM software, use Windows 7 for their latest ATM's. I know because my current gig is customizing the software for a very large South African bank.

Funny enough, there's no proof this guy was a Windows 8 designer. Wonder if this is a case of "It's true because it's on the internet"

It's pretty odd. I think it's fair to say that the only handset makers profiting off of Android today are...Samsung...and...that's about it really. Meager pickings for the rest of them. I don't see this succeeding at all

The thing I find fascinating about both this article and now your comment is that regardless of who's game it is, it seems to be taken as fact that it's a MANS game. You said "you get a wife"...I suppose history isn&#x27
