I think he looks more nervous because he's looking down to read off the paper. Maybe extemporaneous speech would have looked smoother?

I disagree strongly. Detroit's 30 glory years were the exception and they have long past (let's say 1940-1970). Now that so many countries have advanced industrial infrastructure, it's just another really cold place to live. What kind of ma

They need to replace the Apple Developer Tools lead next. He's been at Apple forever—around 30 years now—and he's gone insane. The Xcode 4 interface should not imitate iTunes.

Oops, I was mistaken—it was the ATI Radeon X1600 that had problems in early MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo machines.

There were known NVidia graphics hardware defect issues with MBPs of roughly that vintage, so if that was the problem, you should have received similar service even if you were not covered by the AppleCare extended warranty.

There's definitely evidence VZW did the same. I used T-Mobile for years because they were the only ones that there wasn't much evidence against, plus I thought the parent company was a bit more credible, but it's all a black box from the us

Besides using SSH and VPN more, the only thing I can do is avoid ATT. I was on T-Mobile for years (out of ATT spite) until Verizon got the iPhone and I jumped within the week. I also spent a lot more money on internet using alternatives to

I don't think that's entirely true. For me, the great thing about the internet is that some of these "tribes" are actually pretty diverse in their viewpoints. They form loose communities based on currencies of quality (thoughtfulness, analy

CNN, NYT, MTV et al will continue to trend tabloid as the number of alternative sources of information grows, bleeding away their "serious" audiences. While it is sad to see this crap get more concentrated over time, it's not really helpful

The best part thing about Groupon is the video they show you when you unsubscribe. It is actually quite funny.

My university is one of those in the article. They never should have stopped hosting their own POP/IMAP servers. University IT departments seem to be constituted of a mix of brilliance and idiocy.

I've read news reports that they were thinking about helicopter drops of water and/or boric acid.

They stayed behind because the Prime Minister screamed at the executives to make it happen. Conjuring the language of war, Mr Kan is reported as saying: "Retreat is unthinkable."

It's a good question to ask, but if you have to ask it, you should probably spend more time learning about global financial markets before you take action.

$600 Linux vs $3000 Mac upgrade? The programs he now runs on Ubuntu are all available on OS X. The more reasonable framing would be $600 Dell netbook (what he ended up buying) vs a low-end Mac laptop option.

Really? They paid off the Tweetie guy nicely, and now they've driven a bunch of new users to Echofon with the iOS Twitter app interface changes.

I think this is great advice from Twitter and developers should follow it. Twitter is totally correct--if you haven't entered this space by now, and you still want to, you are probably overlooking much more interesting opportunities. Why wo

Mod parent up. There's plenty of evidence of unethical behavior (including fraud), particularly in mortgage origination, servicing, and securitization, but the various regulatory agencies will not prosecute.

It's amazing that they can't succeed despite their foothold. Everyone in my age group whom I know uses Gmail and uses chat on the Google Talk network. Almost no one uses Google Reader or Google Buzz.

Amusing--I don't think the TSA has thought to put neodymium magnets on the banned-in-flight list. (One of the characters in the article gets literally stuck in an airport.)
