Yeah, but Android keeps confusing me with all those crazy features no one needs, like a web browser with "find on page" capabilities. Stop making my head hurt with your useless features Google! If Steve Jobs thinks I don't need it, then I don't need it!

I'm self-employed (typically working in pajamas) and I do still bill some clients hourly as well. But even then, you're still largely in control, right? You bill for the appropriate amount of time it takes to complete the project, and how and when you work those hours is up to you. It's not like you have to account…

Netflix' appeal has been this idea that "everything" was easily available at one low price. It's the DVD catalog that has allowed Netflix to prop up that ideal—and to hide the relatively…
