   The anecdote about the babysitters and the lesson he's explaining is lifted directly from Krugman's Depression Economics . He mentions Krugman briefly later, in support of his argument, but doesn't properly cite the material in question or

   There is still a remaining issue with plugging in devices, especially cameras and phones, where the charger has the opportunity to inappropriately, given the context, access the filesystem: software can maliciously be installed a result. Wh

   This is a fairly important issue seeing as everyone is pushing towards USB-only charging. There are even USB charging ports on airplanes now. Plugging in your device, with the intent of charging, shouldn't implicitly grant the host the righ

   They, Xerox management, gave him a license to do so. People at PARC weren't so enthusiastic, I think.

    The demise of Bell Labs is saddening from both a physics and computer science perspective. It feels like all too often, large corporations like AT&T and GE, once huge innovation engines, have been dismantled due to greed and incompetenc

    Totally right. Sales aren't the only factor. It can matter for developers targeting users, though again not the only factor. In particular, as a developer, I'm excited about the opportunity to have solid multitouch on a bigger screen. The

    True - is it possible that they will allow digital cameras etc to be plugged in the way they used to with the iPod USB digital camera link? This was my first thought when they showed the Photos app.

    Absolutely right; however, I'm trying to think about a large segment of consumers... I see no justification for buying a PC unless the user is a professional who really is tied to a particular workflow.

    This is going to change the whole computer market forever. Why would anyone (edit: a user who buys a below $1k machine) be inclined to purchase a netbook or even a 13" PC instead of this?

    The documentation is generally excellent. At the very least, this demonstrates both respect and sympathy for other engineers who need to use an API. Often, it also correlates to a well engineered product underneath.

    It's interesting to see so many people asking for HTML5, where available, in lieu of Flash.

    Most people (Youtube) use flash as a wrapper around h.264; the other codecs supported are pretty terrible.

    That type of workflow will not work on today's multitasking devices for very long; the battery will die pretty quickly. I can testify to this having done it on the G1. For the meantime (next year or two), until batteries get better and har

    The developer of whichever game you are referring to hasn't written the application properly: it should offer to resume state when the application is next launched. The Apple model, one app at a time, makes a lot of sense, particularly in t

    I really like it... it would be great, as I'm sure you know, to tie in registration. On that note, who is everyone using for registration these days?

    It's worth examining if a TechCrunch article is more likely to be indicative of success or failure. A lot of the products and services they write about can be somewhat braindead from a consumer or client perspective, but I'm sure that the
