Just more proof that the metric system is overrated!

Yes, my phone is my alarm clock. However, I do have DnD on so I don't get any other noise.

.. please stick to the pirates and the frigates that you're used to.

No... I'm talking about the entire paragraph you posted while you're only talking about the first sentence. He didn't, for example, say there weren't tens of millions of Smartphone OS's pre-2006.

No, it isn't. It's a pretty apt description. None of those platforms had a significant market, especially in comparison to how it works now. The numbers easily prove that, no matter what color of glasses you're wearing.

Marketshare is not a measurement of how many people have or don't have a device.

You think the 5s came out six months after the 5 and only included a fingerprint sensor...?

This statement actually is true. Yes, there were plenty of apps for Palm and WinCE, virtually none of them attained anything close to the popularity that today's mediocre apps do.

1. Actually there is an exception: DRM is great for rental models, like Netflix. The key reason why it's NOT good is that most of the time (i.e. Steam) DRM is being used for something priced to own permanently. Phone apps fall into the "not-good' category, but are priced low enough to not cause too much of an…

Cos it looks cool when you see it at Cosco.

I use my Smartphone's built-in clock app to wake me up. I like it because if I find out something like: "Oh, you need to come in on Sunday", I can set the alarm the moment I hear it and not have to worry about it. Plus the phone will survive power interruption.

This is an Ad for IE? I thought it was a sensationalist head-line designed to mak the ad-counter spin.

And are these 'cross-platform-DLLs' constantly running code when the page is idle? I'm just curious because your explanation sounds more like you're talking about memory usage. I wouldn't mind, but if it really did make that sort of difference then why is it nearly the same with Opera?

I got in trouble with my wife over something like this once. "Honey, dinner was really good. I don't think a man could have cooked it better!"

I'm not quite sure I buy this story, afterall I do look at my phone just before bed every night. BUT... I do have to admit that if I wake up enough in the morning to check for messages on my phone... that's it, I'm gonna have a hard time getting back to sleep.

If you don't mind me talking outta my hinder for a moment, I'd suggest that maybe phone displays tend to be brighter. This could be partly because they're smaller (thus easier to light a whole screen) and partly because phones are adjusted to work in a wider variety of lighting levels than a tablet is.

You should read the article then look up the history of Voltron some time.

No, that is not at all what a monopoly is.

Did you know that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in the UK because the word 'Ninja" had violent connotations over there? They couldn't even show MichaelAngelo using his nunchucks.

Different countries have different laws about what can and cannot be in movies and TV shows, that's…

As for the malware comment, it's largely blown way out of proportion by iSheep...
