That's why I don't understand what the article is talking about. Prepaid for data devices is usually more expensive than the phones, but none of these plans even come close to the price they named.

Something makes me think this chart is wildly off. With Verizon you can get 3 GB for $60 or 10 GB for $90. With AT&T you can have 1 GB for $50. Both companies also offer 2 GB of data on a smartphone in addition to unlimited talk and text for $60 a month. All of those prices are far below $85 for 500 MB, and I can't…

That makes it even better.

I want this app to take me everywhere.

Without a six figure production budget how would anyone make Nicki Minaj even sound good enough to listen to?

Nice! Sounds pretty awesome, and it does look super simple. I will have to give it a look just to play around with it and compare it to Tasker.

I think this was everyone's favorite Apple, including Apple. Even they haven't moved past these times yet, and until they do we won't see more of the truly wonderful things Apple used to create.

Sorry I said, "I believe" instead of, "You're a f**king idiot that doesn't know how to read and use basic comprehension." I was being civil, so don't get all dickish on me. If you want to deal with facts the fact is, bad grammar aside, they meant that bows were in use in 1800, not 2000. Eight hundred years later bows…

Agreed. I especially feel like Apple as a company needs to move beyond Steve Jobs, and I don't know what to think of Tim Cook's e-mail. I mean that with no disrespect to Jobs (seriously, this is what I think of the guy). Apple was a company of the future under him, especially after he rejoined in '96. Apple without…

The article you read is just a source for the MIT article. Also, the full quote is:

But can Llama do anything aside from location based settings? Tasker can be triggered by any event possible, calls, texts, time, location, and in very specific manners, like a text from a specific person containing a certain phrase or word. I ask because I actually don't do anything in Tasker based off location…

"This is the myth harboured in the mind from the Hollywood trick-shots with bows in Robin Hood movies and how Muskets are considered inaccurate... only compared to the rifles that came much later."

You're comparing the first working, usable models of those inventions to this, and they're not the same. The first cars and planes didn't just pop out instantly practical. Powered vehicles were invented before 1800, but didn't begin to replace horses as the main means of transportation (via rails or road) right away.…

Not sure how unknown it is, but for Android definitely Tasker. I have automated everything from silencing calls when I'm asleep or not at work to the ability to text my work phone from my personal and automatically forward all calls to it instead. For $2.99 this app is steal considering I paid more than double that…

Isn't pretty much everything new complete and total crap when if first comes out? I mean, you could have said the same thing about cars, planes or any other mode of transportation, but we had to go through those crappy stages to build on the technology and make something undeniably better than what came before it.

My post was already getting way too long so I left this part out, but I have to say I agree with you 100%. Gizmodo has some terrible ads, and the good folks at Adblock Plus can thank them for the $5 I donated as thanks for using it to block Giz's ads for years. Every now and then I'll be reading Gizmodo on a computer…

When someone says ads don't work on them I love to ask who provides their car insurance. Usually it's Nationwide, Geico, State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, etc. Then I ask, "Why do you have that company?" Universally it's, "They gave me the best rate." The final question is "What made you think to check with them in…

There's Hangout on iPhone? I guess that's point proven right there...

The source article is pretty good, and it actually talks about that more. Basically they were running the keynote off a beta product that still had horribly bloated, non-optimized apps. The only reason they even showed it is because they had to. The iPhone was the only cool, new product Apple was working on, and if…

FINALLY! I've been saying this all along and no one gets it. Literally every trailer they show on TV consists of her gasping like an amateur porn star for 30 seconds. I'm thinking, "How could anyone like this movie?" Then I checked Rotten Tomatoes and it has a 98% rating from critics. WTF?! I'm assuming the trailers…
