growing up in the cassette walkman era, and later the cd discman era, i absolutely loved the idea of the minidisc. I was a broke university student, and for years had wanted a minidisc player, finally in my third year scrounged around some money for an MD player, even though at that time the rio mp3 players were in…

yes, you're right, it is. Along the same vein as a dog eating its own poop is still called "eating". yeah you can call it that, but that doesn't make it right.

commentary would be "hey look wsj reported feature a, b and c rumors. this is why we think they may or may not come true, or maybe its all bs". even rumour milling is perfectly fine. Whats pointless is saying "hey look xyz journal just reported some rumors. we think they suck for reporting rumours so early".

"Really dudes, let's get the check for one rumor bender before we open up a new tab."

i don't think its just about the actual component, but about the type of component. It might not make sense for a manufacturer of a hot product to do this exclusive deal with apple, but a new technology, a new iteration of a touch screen for example, that hasn't fully been out there in the market, would certainly…

for the same reason someone would make human skin coats. Because somewhere out there, there is someone rich enough, having explored every final frontier in human excess, that is willing to pay money for something that either nobody has, or that is different enough to excite their senses for one brief moment.

who says you have to use your real name on facebook? maybe a real-sounding name, but not necessarily real name.

Always wanted something like this. Especially useful for iPad users where no downloading allowed but can remotely send to other computers

International commission of stratigraphy eh? These guys must throw some wild parties

now THIS seems like a good cause for those hacker activists.

I do agree with you about the arbitrary nature of testing methods, especially when you compare the american system to the current asian or british system. Memorization should not be a test of intelligence, but I believe part of education is knowing history and cultures for example. While we may not like math or…

Some good points. Yeah this may be a more peaceful time than the past. Plus medicine for example is much further along than at any other point in history. But that's true of any progressing society. My point wasnt some absolutist statement on poverty or literacy. Rather that there are sometimes better uses for money.…

Did you incoorectly assume this was some prophecy of doom and gloom and didn't agree with the message, or do words just scare you? Ok everybody stop using any opinions or multiple syllable words. Death=bad. Simple enough?

"you have to try so, so very hard to make someone with a Bluetooth headset look lame". It must be opposite day. Where I come from a Bluetooth headset directly correlates to your dochebaggery and lameness levels.

War? Famine? Poverty? Dying children? Weapons of mass destruction? Milti billion dollar wars but rampant homelessness and declining level of education? Yeah what's not to like.

Research people. Are the writers even in touch with the tech world anymore? I don't own a bb play book but I know Facebook released an app for that tablet more than a month ago.

I see a lot of posts on how useless the app is because it's not accurate or will most likely be wrong after x number of days. The point of this app isn't to tell you the weather of the next couple of days like the article says. The point is to give you the general weather conditions around a certain time of year. I…

no buttons??? damnit i'm not even fully weaned off of rotary phones yet.

Yeah it would work but the wattage on the iPhone ones would be way less thus it will take a much longer time to charge iPad. Just like the iPhone USB charged can be used with iPad but it's much slower than using the larger ones that came with iPad.
