So there are more guns in circulation, but distributed amongst fewer people? This doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, I had the same heartburn with iphoto years ago. I was still in the mindset of wanting to do file management myself. Now I'm buying in to the principle of letting the app manage the files in a DB. Or just generally taking file manag

I was totally looking forward to reading about the Bezo Sexpeditions.

I'm sorry but as a gaming enthusiast, I'm experiencing some major schadenfreude here. EA's tactics, ethics and influence have been the worst in the industry for the last 10 years. Pushing DRM, buying up smaller studios, releasing endless a

You lost me on this one... The amazing breakthroughs in ‘fracking’ technology mean that, in spite of the world’s escalating population from one billion to seven billion over the last two centuries we live in an age of energy abundance. W

1. Apple releases new product 2. Critics yawn, criticize etc. 3. AAPL goes down 4. Many speculate as to what Jobs would or would not have done, joke about rolling in grave, call for Tim Cook to be fired etc. 5. Apple makes a mint's worth of

I read the Post PC comments as the author explaining both sides. It is advantageous for MS to downplay Post PC and call everything a PC. It's advantageous for Apple to do the opposite. They both know they are playing semantics. But how c

I think a more accurate way to say this is, for people that it makes more sense to buy a budget laptop/desktop ($300-500), Apple does not have an offering.

Except that Firestone isn't selling you as good a tire as they are putting on their own Firestone cars. In order to get those tires, they want your customer's usage data and to sell advertisement space on the tires... Both parties are acti

Pretend you are Ford Motor Company. You've had a great, mutually beneficial relationship with Firestone Tires for many years. But Firestone Tires decides to get into the car making business. Now they design cars in direct competition wit

I think most law makers agree with you. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/07/feds-ok-iphone-jail... But keep things in perspective. Apple chooses to sell appliances, not platforms. Apple products are more like toasters than houses.

Patterns in numbers are just something he mentions on the side. I don't really read him for the predictions, but he's pretty good in that department. The headline is obnoxious, but the content is spot on. http://daringfireball.net/linked

Did you read the entire article? I thought it made sense. Google is adding features to it's own mobile OS maps app while withholding those features from it's competitor. Google offered to include the features in exchange for ads and custo

Professional Analysts haven't been able to reliably predict iphone or ipad sales for the past 5 years. Even Gartner looks like they are just throwing darts, so why should we give credence to their predictions?

Wait, you mean not everything on this very complex device is not absolutely perfect? They said it was going to be perfect. I'm suing.

Just out of curiosity, what Sub-Reddits have interesting tech discussion? I love reddit for interesting/ridiculous/obscure internet finds, but I don't see a lot of leading edge tech/business talk.

So Picasa might actually support Nikon RAW files? (They currently sort of work, but look like crap and don't format correctly)

Thinner, lighter, faster, better battery life, and it has a bigger screen. I will take these over NFC and wireless charging any day. Sometimes they are ahead in raw specs (screen ppi), sometimes they are behind (LTE), but everything they

I found this article to be a bit sensational. It should be titled, "how I paid some experts to crack my neighbor’s Wifi." I’m not trying to dismiss the threat, just put it in perspective. The use of these tools is either expensive ($250

I enjoy reading Gruber quite a bit, but it's not for his snark or his analysis. It's for his perspective. He has lots of readers because he can connect the dots. He finds stories or details that may not seem relevant at first glance, but

The brilliance of the ipad isn't what it can do, it's what it doesn't do. E.g., Apple took away file management from the user, much like an automatic transmission takes away shifting gears from the driver. Consumers love it but enterprise
