He's great to listen to on the radio as well. He's been a guest for that horrible woman on in the mornings after 9:00 am. A true academic asset to the University, and a refreshing non-word-snob expert.

I was just talking about taking pictures. I'm a current android user and am happy with that. My example of my N79 was just that it took great pictures compared to my HTC Glacier. I appreciate Symbian for different reasons like battery life, flexibility and stability. Combined with a better camera than I have now on…

I did on Saturday for the first time. But it was a friends phone and I haven't seen the end result on anything other than the phone. But going by that, which I assume doesn't tell the whole tale, it didn't seem remarkably better.

Your scenario is probably even more likely. I was looking for an HTPC/streaming device recently. I could build a XBMC rig from old desktops laying around but I don't want to have something like that running all the time and I don't want to have to remember to turn it on before I want to watch TV. So before buying a…

I think that was best put by the comments from the Nokia representative reported in the previous story. They don't use all those pixels, but having so many allows them room to breathe, to re-use the analogy. This device seems to full acknowledge the non-use of all those pixels and exchange the power of numbers for…

The time involved in tethering non-WWAN equipped devices, syncing and data connection dependency are all liabilities of having separate devices that don't easily physically link. The advantage is the physical connection and sharing the same environment without dependency on wireless data syncing. I think that most…

Symbian rocks. The best camera phone I've had was a Nokia N79.

I think this is the future. As the novelty of fast touch-friendly rectangles fades to the point where people don't feel the NEED to buy a new one every 6 to 9 months, all-in-one modular units should make more sense to a consumer. If the keyboard dock is like the Transformer it would be great. But the big downfall…

I'm a believer in compulsory service. State Defense Forces (separate from the National Guard) exist in 22 states. Wyoming just happens to not be one of them. If a state wants to make compulsory service required to take part in state benefit programs like post secondary education or other programs that supplement…

Intended hyperbole, but no sarcasm.

We all know the problem with skinny jeans. Well fitting clothes are best. The trend over the last 20 years in the US was baggy. It's comfortable, but looks sloppy. Sloppy isn't good. But 'skinny jeans' are only a problem on non-skinny people. And they are a large problem in pastels on skinny and non-skinny people…

To write a story with the goal of educating the reader in a subject, you should make a consistent effort to not further muddy the water. There are words to differentiate these signalling molecules. They are not over the head of the readership. Continuing to use ambiguous language defeats any efforts to make the…

Now tell us the positive story.

But none of them will be held accountable. Ever. For anything. They never are.

I've had that history function paused from the beginning. I've always wondered why people turn it on.

I've sold perfect and 'for parts' machines and with the increasing expectancy of perfection from people just asking questions on auctions (and even threatening chargebacks before an auction is over!) I've gone to just selling 'parts' on ebay and working goods locally. I think as Ebay sales decline to where growth is…

To follow that method I would be thin, miserable and most likely both. I'd keep my pimples if that was the bargain.

This looks more like a mistake that Comcast is making thinking that that desire to consume netflix-like content on their mobile devices is the gulf in the value proposition between what they offer with their content delivery and what streaming video companies offer with their services. They've just asked customers to…

I have access to OTA channels for free over the cable line that brings my my broadband. But the picture is so bad that I prefer the HD broadcast through a 30.00 RCA antenna. The only drawback is the lack of WGN from the airwaves in Minneapolis. When Boxee or other set top makers and more smoothly integrate air,…

I really like editorials. I like when they are in the section marked editorials. I like it when I read a news report in the paper, it doesn't sound like the reporter is giving me a lecture on what's right.
