Oh, I want to add one more thing. I was thinking about Steve Jobs acting like King and thinking that maybe instead of calling him King I should have said God. So I dug deep into the unused recesses of my brain and remembered that one of the most famous lines from the Old Testament had to do with God decaring…

Steve Jobs DID save Apple. But that doesn't mean that he isn't also hurting the company. I am an Apple shareholder and I wish someone would reign him in a little.

Adobe begged Apple to get them to release flash on iOS. Jobs refused. The stated reason was that Flash would hurt battery life. I don't buy that. And even if it does eat battery life, then why wouldn't Apple just warnn users that if they choose to install flash it is at their own peril? I am a big boy. But now I…

For me, I just witsh I had Flash. And why don't we have it? See my original post...

Is this Steve Jobs being a petulant child?

I think there should only be two. Just becasue Apple has decided to make their own proprietary interfaces does not make them a standard. Yes they have a large market share, but I really doubt that they ever went to a standards committee and published their interface decalring it as a standard. They are the defacto…

It's a complicated problem and there are a lot of factors that cause the problem. A few years ago, I worked for a computer peripheral company and we had a product that was based on our patented proprietary technology. Because the technology was far superieor over what was otherwise available in the marketplace, we…

This scares me. I already thought that Google know too darned much about me and my web browsing habits. Now they want me to help them to know even more? As it is, when I browse sites like Amazon, I immediately get emails from them (Amazon) suggesting other purchases I might make. So I know that Amzon is collecting…

The American Garment Industry doesn't exist anymore. That business went to places like China and other third world countries where there are no unions.

Honestly... Why would Sam say "...it'll probably only get about two seconds of battery life too, but..." instead of just saying something unbiased like "...we don't yet know the battery life spec and that will be ciritical to the success of this or any other powerful small notebook..."

OK, I decided to research this a little better. I found several very biased articles out on the Internet that showed few facts and made lots of generalizations. Some of these were quite outdated. Then I found this very recent article that actually compared the pollutuin from totally electric rechargable vehicles to…

Please check your facts. I cannot comment on the rated gas mileage of a Ford Focus or a now defunct Geo Metro, but my Prius gets around 50 MPG every day. I have NEVER gotten less than around 47 MPG. The new Priuses are rated at 50 MPG and my older one is rated at 49 MPG.

If you go in the green car (first class) on the Nozumi Shinkansen (fastest of the three types of bullet trains), you will get to your destination in total comfort and a heck of a lot faster. First class (Green car) fron Tokyo to Osaka costs about 18,690 Yen and takes 160 minutes. If you go coach it is much cheaper. …

Sex in space would make the eight mile high club old hat.

Aw c'mon Jack. Hybrids are not for people that half care. They are for people that do care about the environment and mostly don't want to continue to support the petro cartels. Actually, the energy plants that make electricity to charge up electric cars do polute to some degree and unless they are nuclear, which…

Negrito:

The iPhone 4 has a fairly low resolution camera as comparted to what is generally available in smartphones. So the article makes it look like the iPhone is solely responsible for this phenomenon. In fact, it is all smartphones have devent cameras, and the iPhone is currently one of the worst when it comes to havbing…

Sam, you are absolutely right. And what is worse is the witch hunt that follows an accident. The FAA allows all kinds of crap to happen and then when it happens, they do a knee-jerk and go after the airline as if they are ones that caused the problem. Maybe they think this will draw attention away from the FAA, I…

Uh, wait a minute. Yes, faster is better. But a device with a faster CPU means that when the thing is running faster, it will generate a lot more heat and therefore have much shorter battery life. That is assuming the battery isn't higher capacity. And if it is higher capacity, then unless Samsung has come up with…

Check out this official Motorola document on how to spot Motorola fakes. I just took a look at a Bluertooth headset that I had bought a few years ago at a high end retail store and tried to determine if it is real or not. I hate to say it but I really cannot tell, even with a magnifying glass. I am sure the clone…
