Out of curiosity, does OS X's implementation of Dictation include some sort of adaptive technology? Like Siri (or maybe it's really people on the back-end, looking at all the incoming phrases and adjusting the parsing), isn't it always learning from the speech you provide to it? If so, this may be Apple's way of…

Religion is business. Religion affects politics and our government. Hence, they should be taxed as such. I think it would really go a long way towards solving our financial crisis.

While we're at it, here's a new, easy-to-use web-based app to see if your phone is upgradeable to Windows Phone 8: http://tinyurl.com/wp8check

Of my setup, I've still got two iMacs when I did my switch from Windows back in 2007. Looks like this will be their last OS upgrade before their sunset. For the last five years, it was a great run. My kids and I still use them every day, they still work (knock on wood), and are still snappy fast for all their needs.

I just hope the outer material is strong enough to take abuse rubbing up against other keys in your pocket over the long haul.

I think there are really two parts to this whole Hollywood ending: what happens with a sudden depressurization of a chamber, and what happens to an exposed human body. Interesting to know it's not like Mission to Mars where the husband freezes instantly, but does everything get sucked out into the vacuum of space…

The second one is totally my type. Of course, she's probably like 900 years old now.

Maybe if you weren't so "antihip," you'd actually see it for what it is, instead of rationalizing the issues your current hardware and software are having. I should know, I dealt with Windows Mobile since it was called "Windows CE" and "Palm PC" and Windows since version 3.1, accepting each crash and inconsistency as…

I love how the Android fanboy crowd goes wild when five years later, one iOS app in a library of 725,000 targeted to Russian users results in an isolated spamming spree.

Android already has a reputation of being more prone to malware than any other mobile platform out there, and Verizon has always been the most business-minded of the wireless carrier bunch. If they're going to get the business customer (and more importantly, past the business customer's IT department's approval), you…

Wow, so the inspiration for the movie "Hugo" was real! I underestimated our technology of 200 years past!

Should have called it the Crazy 88.

It's almost like... "Hmm... I don't think that's right."

I know this is old - and granted, it's Microsoft, not Toshiba - but it amazes me that all this money they have available to put into advertising can never properly convey their message across to the consumer.

Even as an Apple fan, I'm going to have to disagree with the moniker "new iPad." In a year or two, I'm going to try to sell mine on CraigsList or eBay, how will I post it? "used new iPad?" I saw someone selling a first-generation iPad, unopened in its retail box. What's that? "new old iPad?"

Talk about a typical response yourself. You obviously didn't read that a good majority of Android phones are cheaply made and cheaply priced. People "choose" them over iPhones because they are either uninformed or are willing to settle with a cheap smartphone that costs them nothing out the door, so long as they can…

It's the spin that gets me. Delusional? Yes. His fault? No. If you're trying to attract buyers to your company, you have to make it sound appealing. If you're trying to rally the troops (whether its the stockholders or your employees), you can't sound negative. But, damn, Thorsten, bring some reality into it. …

Yes, a good amount of potassium does the trick for me. When I don't have a banana handy, I usually have one of those energized water drinks that are pumped full of it.
