yes while physical and digital things might not be comparable, the basic principles still hold, i.e. in your opinion over charging for something, or rather charging less for something. why sell a car that has $20,000 in components for 25-30k? because there are other costs that need to be recouped, advertising, admin…

I wish the world was as altruistic as your plan would have it be, but unfortunately we live in a world where a lot of human action is driven by profit motives. And until that changes, your plan is a bit over simplistic.

I would tend to agree with Mr scott, a certain depth is lost in streaming content or even 1080p rips. I'm addicted to 1080p by now basically, but if a movie is good, at some point you just get lost in it and forget if something isn't as high resolution as you're used to. But i find a lot of streaming content has…

so when it fails, the craft stops dead and thats the end of its travels. So get another spacecraft to go past that point would mean 30 years just to get to where the previous one left off. IF we haven't given up on space exploration by then.

so a few questions. How is it a spacecraft has managed to survive space travel for so long? I always figured spacecrafts would only be able to last for a very small finite amount of time due to the rugged environemnt out there (space rocks, debris, solar winds, cold, etc)

Thing is, technology like siri, or any kind of voice control AI, needs to really really really be perfect before it can be truly of a standard we expect from apple. Hardware and software is "easier" to "perfect" as apple has done. Anything less than perfect will always have consistent issues relegating the tech to…

So if scientists can bring back a pre-historic extinct creature like the wooly mammoth, wouldn't it be so much "simpler" to apply the technology for animals that are going extinct NOW, that we know so much more about, and who we can actually find fresh dna and healthy hosts for? I'm sure it is IS prohibitively…

Man this hit me with a serious dose of nostalgia. I would totally buy one of these, but sadly it will never be out to any good use outside the house since the mere sight of this is sure to get me labelled a hipster. I'm impartial towards hipsters but man they're totally now messing with my groove I'm starting to…

I find it hard to believe that RIM only sold 150K worth of stock at $200. Yeah, still not superlow $100, but even at $200 they were flying off shelves and all retailers were out of stock. So i figured they must have sold millions. 150k is hardly even a dent in the market or RIM's financials. Now though the sale makes…

I fully support a lawsuit in this case going after CarrierIQ, but atleast sue the right folks. Its not HTC or Samsungs fault. Sure, they might have relented to carriers demands and not stood up for their customers, but ultimately they are in the business of making products that these carriers will carry.Every carrier…

I think the wording in my diatribe got slightly out of hand. What I meant simply was yes, it is limited in apples case, and certainly forgivable, atleast in my view, because they more than make up for it with their amazing customer support, warranty, and updates. So it disturbs me just ever so slightly that software…

anybody tried this with bootcamp on lion? Yeah I know I know might be a bit too early, but I've recently been thinking about installing windows for a certain program I need to use on my mac. And if im going through that might as well try this new version if it works with the normal bootcamp process without an trickery.

I'm very very surprised Apple is using something like this, but alas it does exist for whatever reason in whatever limited capacity. I already lost respect for these large carriers, I've further tried to respect Android OS and the phone manufacturers for trying to come up with something interesting, but slowly my…

As I read the title, a volcano of excitement started erupting in my brain. There are one or two people whose profile I wouldn't mind a glance at. But as I started reading the article, I realized how ridiculous this is since its not a 2 minute process of any kind. If you are going to spend 7+ hrs scouring the internet…

When you get a new one does it start from the point where your previous one left off, i.e. your data is in tact as long as you synced, or do you start the tracking from the beginning again since its anew device with presumably a new serial number.

"Jawbone should should stop selling new bands until it is able to fix the issue. I'm perplexed and alarmed that it continues to ship bands knowing many will have defects that will cause its customers to have a bad experience. Short term, halting sales is going to hurt. But it's the right thing to do. Moreover, if it…

I'm a rdio user as well, but more because its available in Canada while spotify is not. I do like the service though and doubt i'd switch to spotify, but you're right, the only inclination I sometimes have for switching to spotify is because they've marketed themselves so well while rdio hasn't.

I'd differ from the other two posters and say it was pure mismanagement and lack of understanding of the changing email and tablet market.

why do we always have to get into fights about who has better equipment than the other. Look, some people, like me, are willing to pay for the battery life, or the sturdy good looks, or the little touches of finesse, in exchange for a bit slower computer since i'm not a programmer and none of my work goes beyond web…

There actually are a few apps, but none of them work the way you think they might to be truly useful for the average individual. Most of them record by you calling some number and then merging that call with the call you want to record. you get charged a per minute fee. You can't even buy a block of time like you…
