The suffix was never meant to indicate that it was the Nth model, the only time that happened to line up was with the iPhone 4. edit: I'm not talking about the iPad, of course.

Gruber criticizes Apple often enough, it just doesn't make Hacker News. (Though I don't see any criticism in this story, except that he is reporting it, but then I'm not sure what there is to criticize, I don't know how the app got into the

It looks like a decent tablet and it's $200, what's not to like? I'd rather have an iPad but there is a good chance I'll pick up a Fire based on the "bang for your buck" factor.

Coming in two parts seems very un-Apple, though not necessarily a bad idea.

Mhm, how did the Microsoft Courier videos make you feel?

Like it or no, I don't think it has changed much from when he was alive.

Odd, works fine on a 2010 13" MBA (in Chrome). Though that fan does kick up quite a bit...

People don't' like it when you develop your "open" software behind closed doors. Sure, there are good reasons for it, but so long as you fly that "Open" banner, you're going to get shit when you do things that seem contradictory to that mes

Gruber's full posts have a star in the title, anything else is a reference to another page on the web, in which case the title is a link to it. A 'read more' link would help, I'm used to the way Gruber does it but when other sites do the sa

Not surprising, the Galaxy S2 is quite a nice phone, at least it was the Android phone I was considering as the follow-up to my iPhone 3GS.

I don't get it either, it's pretty much what the rumors predicted.

I'm having a hard time separating the wheat fromt the chaff in all that camera talk, is anyone familiar with these changes/sensors (since I suspect they're not unique to Apple devices)?

I'm surprised so many live blogs have gone down considering how tame the rumors leading up to this event have been.

I suspect this will be resolved in far shorter time than it would take to switch your app to a new API and distribute updates to your userbase.

It would explain the many free updates they've provided.
