There's an old saying that goes "Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining." that seems applicable here. The ad industry is crying foul that a browser comes with it's own umbrella against their torrent of waste.

How wrong he may or may not have been on other issues doesn't make him wrong on this one. Here, he's right on the mark.

Which only works when you've got a ton of room and nobody else around to listen to the dialog. Seriously, imagine trying to run something like that in an office environment. Everyone's dialog and gestures would be terribly distracting. Ye

Which still doesn't change the times involved getting to and from the airport. These are often worse than the flights themselves. Better to engage remotely rather than travel at all.

So if you take your car in for service and a computer software upgrade is necessary and they remove a feature you use, that's OK? Clearly Apple continues to show just they truly do not care about customers. It's Apple's way or GTFO. And

Size isn't the only problem. Time is the bigger issue. The likelihood of there being something else out there is one thing. The chance that they've been active enough during a time in which we're looking for them is vanishingly small. L

I have a 4 year old, so naturally the idea of rat birds and raining food comes to mind. Kids movies, oy.

Not quite, that's just a tree including all the files. When you've got quite a lot of folders and also file within it becomes really tedious using the finder's views. It's almost as if Apple has made decisions that deliberately hamper anyo

I also hate the lack of actual buttons with tactile response.

7 billion people on the planet already, and you want us to fund keeping them alive longer? What a fantasically stupid idea. You're given a decent amount of time on this Earth, already make it count and move on. Not to mention the idiocy o

A programmer lamenting lack of interpersonal interactions... there's hope for the world, or at least for you. The addiction isn't the screen, it's the stimulation of being a voyeur on the actions of others. This is not a new phenomenon, j

Apple's been doing this since day 1, and gouging quite a lot for it. No thanks.

What a phenomenally stupid article. Just how does he think money moves? How does he think the trusts for it are handled? Naive, at best, or just plain stupid is more like it.

Passwords have to satisfy multiple security issues. Brute force by code is just one. Shoulder-surfing is another. A password like that is going to be incredibly weak as an observer might easily be able to detect it. Same thing goes with

It's a two-way street. If your status quo is valuable then what are you doing to keep it that way? Just depending on someone else not to do things better is no recipe for success. Also consider that just because you might think you're cr

Just what is it you think you'll be doing that the prime will do better enough than others? That and I'm guessing the same argument regarding cameras can be applied here. The tablet you have WITH you is the tablet you'll use. Why not just

Also note it's a crime to claim patent pending without an actual patent in the process. Of which there would be a number. They really frown on making false patent claims.

And it also likely introduces them to using much more robust editing tools that just a text editor. You can learn programming badly in any language or environment. So it depends far more on the curriculum and the teacher than the environme

There's often more money and less stress to be found doing something else. You figure this out as you get older. You wise up and start wanting to have a life and not spend every waking hour typing code. Thus you move up the management ch

There's an old saying "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." A saying that often fits those enamored of HTTP tools.... Why do we have Spanish? Or English? Or any other language? Can't it all be said in one? Simil

A better question is whether anyone going is worth meeting. Or whether it'll just a be a bash-fest give the recent fiasco. Neither seems compelling enough to waste the time/money of attending...

There's also no check by other users against users posting unreasonable reviews. Amazon at least has a way to comment on another user's review. That and it allows you to traverse across to other reviews from the author. Often a great way
