Yeah, basically you're paying to have access to a larger catalog. It's kind of nice if you want to go back and watch X-Files from the beginning, I guess, but I'll probably cancel it when the month is up...

You steal an idea by passing it off as your own.

Well, iTunes isn't really built for a cross-platform kit, it is primarily built for OSX with a compatibility layer for Windows where needed (I think)... at least the shortcomings only really show up under Windows, under OSX it's a big app b

It's kind of amusing how bad iTunes is on Windows, all while Apple talks about how writing for a meta-platform produces lower quality software. It doesn't even look good, IMO, at least not compared to running natively on OSX.

I think the idea is that the non-iOS Mobile Flash players are sub-par.

Hardware manufacturers don't see themselves as Android distributors, they don't want to compete to see who can make the best home for vanilla Android. They see Android as a jumping off point, not a final product.

Oh, caps-lock to control goes without saying :) I do like the idea of a double-pinkey jab as a shortcut.

I couldn't live without Visor, I have it set to ctrl-~ and a full screen terminal. It's lovely, I spend most of my time there with vim and screen.

Not to pile on, but It's "Mac", short for Macintosh. MAC is, as far as I can think, only for Media Access Control (as in MAC address). That said, my first thought for the low barrier to no-mouse would be Linux as well, but as others have s

Do you know if that 10.10 shot is a screenshot or a mockup?

Some records are easier to break than others. Of course, if I read more I'd probably have one by now, at $190 for the free 3G model it's very tempting. Relatedly, has anything come of the SDK?

Possible, perhaps encouraged by iAds, but it's not like they couldn't do that with Hulu.

That would require improving public education first.

I suspect the only way to get the public's attention on voting machine security would be for a group (Anonymous?) to hack a major election in favor of a joke write-in candidate (Mickey Mouse, "None of the Above", Bill Murray).

Why would an app they control be any worse than what the networks are doing now, or what Hulu does?

I agree on the guy carrying the umbrella, not sure what the "ThinkFreak" comment has to do with anything. More to the point, it seems like you're making fun of ThinkGeek for something that was not their fault. Really, I think I'm just easil

I don't see how your link is not relevant, first of all. (edit: eg, you could post links to lots of Flash, Java, whatever that run on OSX but aren't allowed in the App Store) Also, I don't see how "developers and end users wanting it" chang

I've seen a bunch of Aeron chairs on Craigslist (Baltimore) for around $450. I suggest just subscribing to the Aeron search results and waiting until you see one at your price point.
