“He was not filtered with his input. If he was in a meeting that was boring him, he would be blunt. He’d say, ‘I don’t need to see this, let’s move on.’ And we would. He didn’t suffer a fool.” Uhm, that's considered being blunt? I would c

Just like OS X. (I assume that’s the reason why iOS supports them.) Couldn’t survive without those.

Huh? It looks like SpaceX might be able to supply the ISS with cargo very soon. If that works people will follow not to long after that. Sure, they are paid by NASA to do that but currently NASA is completely unable to supply the ISS with a

I wasn’t really trying to, I was merely trying to point out an interesting lead. Whether the type of rocket used has anything to do with this is, however, a very interesting and relevant question, especially considering that the ISS depends

Because “European Union” is not just a name. (At its core the EU is all about creating a common market. Harmonized patent law and enforcement is obviously a big part of that.)

It’s definitely legitimate arrogance. (Well, I don’t know if arrogance can ever be legitimate but if I concede that it were they are definitely legitimately arrogant.) When SpaceX can be successful that may change but only slowly.

Am I right when I say that this is a pretty huge coincidence? As far as I can see Soyuz rockets almost never fail and Proton rockets only fail from time to time. Excluding this incident, Soyuz rockets had one partial and one complete failur

Now, that doesn’t really happen, does it?

Nah. iOS didn’t have the time to prove anything at all. It’s not done yet.

They are supposed to be tablets and are actually moved in the film. This whole sequence has a lot of footage of the tablets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vEDmNh-_4Q Here is a movie poster where you can also see the same tablet in more

Also, that cut is revenue, not profit.

That’s a small (even debatable) thing. Nothing that would warrant the language the grandparent used.

The website is very consistent and has a very clear visual hierarchy. It seems your subjective impression colored all your subsequent judgments about the site. What you are writing there in the first sentence just makes no sense at all, cap

Videos have their own specific advantages and disadvantages compared to text and illustrations. To declare them inferior is shortsighted and without reason.

Exactly. Your parents. Not you. (That said, there’s plenty of time for this startup to thrive. I wouldn’t worry about it.)

That doesn’t make a lot of sense. Apple (famously or infamously) has no problem adding features that formerly only third party apps had. Apple sells devices first and is middleman for developers second. Apple makes their money with devices.

It’s questionable that in the case of Java the disambiguation helps much. Here is what you have to do to get results for Java coffee if you are using Google: Type “Java”, parse results and see that you didn’t get the desired results, type s

Point one I can’t understand. Google is optimized for the common case. It’s not that often that I want to search for something not in Google’s (excellent) dictionary.

Sure, and? I didn’t know about all the Android stuff but I said the rest correctly, didn’t I?

Because they are losing sight of the point.

It can! But only to specific HP printers (just like the TouchPad). Printing is one of those things that’s nice to have but ultimately not a (lone) deciding factor. Currently all implementations suck if you don’t have one of the few supporte

Printing is not the killer feature you think it is – especially for a device like a tablet (consumption oriented and in many cases a great replacement for paper).

Huh? HP launched more than two dozen printers (or updated them) that work with the iPad. HP is, in fact, the only brand that has printers which work with the iPad. The TouchPad works more or less with the same printers, it doesn’t do any be

I have real trouble understanding that. I don’t know how tablets are presented in the US but in my local German electronics retailer they are all right next to each other. The TouchPad even had more promotional material around it, it should

Turth has nothing to do with tone. And if you don’t care about tone I don’t want to work with you on anything. Scientists are humans, too.

But what if we actually want to eat meat? What if we want a TV? A refrigerator? A dishwasher? A mobile phone? A car?
