So Chrome isn't polished? I'd say more so than IE, Firefox, and Safari. What about earth or sketchup? In fact, I think they all are. Give me an example.

What are the alternatives that are polished then for Google Docs where you can cloud store .doc, .xls, and .pdf, and edit them online?

People take this stance all the time, but we often forget that Google provides an ass-load of products, most of which are polished to hell. Search, Gmail, Earth, Chrome, Documents, Voice, Picasa, Translate, Sketchup, Blogger (although showing its age), Youtube, etc. Their problem is that they are going in too many…

I sold a tag watch on craigslist a few years back. It was a legitimate tag, so I was worried that I was going to get mugged for it. I also wondering why a stranger would be so willing to give me cash for something they couldn't easily qualify as the real deal. I sold the watch. He got a killer deal. I turned a…

It certainly beats meeting a stranger off Craigslist to be potentially rolled for it, or buying an HP Touchpad "New in Box" from the back of a van, only to get a box filled with a brick (literally). I've read stories of both happening. At least you get a little buffer and I guess a little insurance for the buyer.

It's not so much what this security issues is, but rather the half-assery on Apple's part for the crappy security design. You'd expect more from a company that generally designs/programs with an unyielding pursuit for perfection. I bet heads would have rolled if SJ was still around.

There are performance grades in DAC's, but I get your point.

Damn, that could be an understated, but FN awesome innovation, particularly if it forced text book manufacturers into price wars. Higher education school books are crazy expensive, especially if you are putting yourself through school. I remember making debates over eating for a month or buying a text book. The…

God damn comcast. When are we going to be allowed to buy our own cable boxes and be free of their monthly rental fee and vermin infested hardware? I have conspiracy theories about telecoms tanking cable card just to keep these types of fees. I hate that I have almost no other options for service in my neighborhood.…

It truly is a cinematic blend of texture, color, and light.

Assuming this thing uses dock ports for both devices, the true test would be to see if they bypass the mobile devices' respective DAC's in favor of a high grade DAC.

I think he's extended a little more courtesy than, say, a waiter at tgi Fridays calling me sir when handing me the check. That being said, I think the title has become slightly diluted over he years through frivolous knightings. What did Jives do for the empire aside from making the world buy Idevices for an…

Notifications and multitasking. Android's implementation of both forced Apple to change IOS when people started noticing the difference.

If it's an electric sharpener, then right down to the metal eraser holder, of course.

That type of priority sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. What if the fido caller is on the phone with 911? I was mainly talking about data priority. Carriers shouldn't have the ability to selectively drop calls for any paying, law abiding customer.

I don't have Sprint either. Just saying that this is either misleading by not mentioning throttling upfront or unfair for prime consumers. Even if they do throttle, having a few thousand throttled 2nd tier users must slow things down for the 1st tier clients. But I guess Sprint has bandwidth to spare, and they…

The "automatic switcher" is just having wifi turned on. If in range to a friendly wifi network, my phone connects to use data and I can also make wifi calls on Tmobile/Vibrant. However, wifi drains batteries when not in use, so I often turn it off. Also, I don't let it connect automatically to unknown networks. I…

Even worse—these third party resellers are just spamming already congested networks for premium paying clients. There should be some type of perk for 1st tier clients, or some type of throttling during peak hours for budget clients.

Yeah, I don't think anyone needs a coal burning car, unless it translates to an electric engine that's as efficient as a CSX train.

1 gallon of gas is approximately equivalent to 33.41 kWh of electricity ([en.wikipedia.org]). 1 ton of coal would produce roughly 2,460 kWh, thus 1 kWh of electricity requires about .8 pounds of coal. So 33.41 kWh would require burning 26.73 pounds of coal. I'm starting to think gasoline is cleaner.
