Eating dinner with a friend, I sent the following message to another friend:

I liked this review. It looks like a shell of what might become a good tablet once the ecosystem fills out, but fails as anything more than that. You don't give a tablet that might one day become a competent version of what we already have a good score.

If you're 16g wifi iPad 3 is in excellent condition, amazon will still give you $365 for it.

That was a close game in the 4th yesterday. I would have loved to have seen how it would have turned out if the pass interference on Murphy had been called. Certainly wouldn't have guaranteed them anything, but would have put them within 20 yards of a potential game winning field goal. Then, hey, Panthers beat the…

I'd suggest selling both and getting a 32 GB Nexus 7 if the size doesn't bother you.

I've been trying to transition to consuming the NFL through NFL Rewind starting late Sunday night through Wednesdayish because of this bs. If one of the games I want to watch is on in the early games, then I might watch it, but its always a bit of a risk because I'd like to stay ignorant to a couple other games on at…

Maybe it's just my Nexus 7ed eyes, but isn't that 4:3 ratio looking a little weird in the small tablet category? It looks hard to hold in portrait.

So are we close to having external gpus and docks that increase processing power? I envision a world where I can come home, place my tablet in a doc that adds a gpu and maybe more ram, and play a game.

It's just for syncing document saves and minor web browsing when you're not near wifi. It shouldn't be used as the primary connection.

"Now, could someone tell me where are we going to get the power?"

I'll have to give the html5 website a shot. I would greatly mis Spotify's UI and great offline feature.

Blerg. I had that $3 a month plan, but it was attached to a checking account I didn't use anymore and wanted to close. Since you can't swap out pay options without restarting your pay agreement ("how conveeeenient", I snarked), I had to cancel.

That's just top line revenue. Net Income was what killed it. $6.53 earnings per share compared to an expected $8.33 is HUGE.

Google Wave might have failed as it's own product, but many of it's best features made it into other products (simultaneous editing and better spell check, specifically).

Google is blaming RR Donnelley (the comm. company who's supposed to handle these releases) for sending it too soon. Also they said they won't start back trading until the report is actually finished. That sounds pretty indeterminate.

And this is serious. Investors should have confidence when a material-repeated report like earnings will be released.

First, no one outside top management should have pay affected by stock price. Ideally, everyone below top management should receive bonuses relative to their own production. If actual financial stability takes a hit, then everyone should expect their bonuses to take a hit because of that, but that has nothing to do…

My childhood dog was also a border collie who passed earlier this year.

Border collies are awesome.
