"An inland shallow-water drilling rig capsized near Morgan City, Louisiana, while being towed to a salvage yard..." This wasn't an active rig, and had nowhere near the impact of the previous event. Nonetheless, I can still see CNN reporters

I thought the A4 was a result of their acquisition of PA Semi a couple of years back. I doesn't really make sense for them to develop the chip offsite, and then buy the company after it ships. Especially when they've already got the team

The big thing to me is the addition of a search method. If I understand it all correctly (I did miss the first part of the f8 keynote) we've got the permission to pull any data out by keyword for the very first time.

Maybe it falls into the same category as the video game industry to you, but it doesn't sound like you're aware of Twitters recent monetization strategy: http://blog.twitter.com/2010/04/hello-world.html

Imagine wanting a blog and WordPress or Tumblr thought you undeserving of a top-level domain. And just look at how many crap blogs are on each of those platforms. Their goal is to curate quality content and the free-reign model has alread

Nothing to do with AT&T or bandwidth; the preprocessing and compression are what make it abide by Apple's TOS.

The Adam is really gong to sink or swim because of it's UI, which is (AFAIK) non-existent, or just basic Android, at this point.

Is it really any different? Consumers will still buy the client that best fits their needs.

Continuing on the theme of my comment to the parent, I'll say: good riddance. The App Store is 185k titles strong, most of them crap. Developers without a passion for the platform are exactly what they don't need any more of.

While I agree that Apple isn't forcing developers onto the Mac from a financial perspective, I think it's in their best interest to promote it from a holistic one. Indie Mac developers think a little differently than any other, and it's a d

I've find the debug tools in the WebKit nightlies to be more polished and just as capable as those offered in Firebug, without the jank of Firefox on the Mac. What specific features are essential to your workflow that WebKit doesn't offer?

These are both features that will come in due time, just like copy/paste on the iPhone. There are thousands of other little features that needed to be implemented before this was considered a 1.0 device. It would have never shipped had th

Someone with only an online/catalog presence. As opposed to a company like Apple, who has a hefty retail presence that lets their customers, who may be still undecided, try before they buy.

Really, you consider the Portable a successful product? While it's a cute bit of nostalgia, the PowerBook 100 is a far better example of innovation in that time period.

You haven't taken the analogy far enough. The shopper isn't paying for lettuce because it's lettuce, they're paying for it because of the nutrients it provides. Just as I don't pay $30 a year for the shipping costs of the subscription, I (a

While there may be a bit to be made in that $99, I really don't think it's much. Every replacement battery Apple sells for their current line of portables is $129. The iPad battery most definitely has a lower capacity and thus costs less, b

Just out of curiosity, do you use voice commands on your device and find them effective? I find manipulating a touch screen device to be faster and more accurate than dictating by voice.

I don't think a vast majority of the world is in agreement with you, and neither does AT&T; hence the paltry $15 monthly fee. People don't walk around with Bluetooth headsets attached to their heads so they can call you back at their le

Wait, seriously? Coming from PHP you must be working in the web world. You don't strictly indent your HTML and CSS either?

This falls into the same category as the inclusion of an iPod app. The device really doesn't excel at music playback, but it's capable, so why not? Seriously, you'd replace your iPhone with an iPad and just carry it around in you backpack?

I used to use one of these for the same purpose. Being fully enclosed makes it a bit sturdier and the casters are a nice touch: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90120545 Now I'm using a studio rack from nice-racks.com, which I w

It's my understanding that the original reason behind the closed architecture of the iPhone was to keep the device secure on cell networks. Most of the restrictions are there to protect outside access, which is a good thing for the less sav

This reminds me of a video I saw a while ago. Basically a skit with a couple of actors highlighting some flaw in each language. I remember PHP being something like: "My god, there's SQL in the HTML!." Anybody know where I can find it?

The goal isn't to replace your desktop and "full-blown OS" with a Chrome OS device, but to supplement it with a purpose-built internet device. Even if you could hack Windows 7 on to it, I'm sure would lag like hell on any hardware that's Ch
