According to there Tweet: "45 55.586N 129 58.7516W axial seamount, eastern side of caldera." It would also be nice to see things like depth. Edit: I guess you can use these to search Google maps: 45.55586,-129.587516

It can be tricky. Sometimes customers get the feeling you rip them off when you show off with expensive gadgets or expensive cars.

You are giving the wrong summary. A better summary would be: Napster gave us wine, Apple created a nice looking bottle for it. But without bottle there would still be wine.

Because of the 12 points I thought it had to be a kind of scientific experiment. But those are just pictures of apes with an iPad!? Why is this news? There are tons of pictures of apes with cellphones, normal phones, sitting behind a TV ...

I think the title is a little misleading. He says: "Cutting costs and only competing on price is a death spiral." . He is talking about competing only on price. Ikea is not only competing on price but also on quality. Making your product/s

The w3schools site provides an excellent overview of the new input types and there browser support in this case. So maybe next time please don't link to w3fools (stupid site imho) but provide a better link.

Totally agree. I would like to add one think that is bugging me: layer size. It sucks. Move a layer 50 pix. to the right and suddenly you can't draw in the left 50 pixels because the layer has moved. But perhaps some issues are they because

Studies show that becoming criminal has nothing to do with race or background. It has to do with lack of social control from families, neighborhoods and governments. So I think you are right but it doesn't have anything to do with being bla

Totally agree! Ever tried the new Twitter? You now have to wait 12 seconds to see the Tweets. Why not load the page in 1 sec. without the use of Javascript and use Javascript for realtime updates? Because it's cool to use Javascript and mak

Well maybe you give the answer yourself. "Patents exist to encourage innovation" Sometimes innovation is costing a lot of money and time (research and development). When you can make sure you can protect the outcome you are more likely to

The Bible for example is very clear about the one who is making the decisions: God, or guy in the sky as you call it. So I don't think that would be a problem for religion. And I think this news is still no proof for skeptical people (like

Maybe such a system should also have an expiration date. Lets say IBM is developing a very new technique. They file a patent but they discover the market is not ready for the actual product. So they decide to wait. In this case IBM doesn't

Mac support is known to be one of the worst. Linux and Windows are also sane OSs. And there are a lot of high-end machines on the market. So I disagree with you. All Apple owners I ever met were showing off. For them it's status to have a M
