Maybe if they made something exciting then people would?

Yard sales just got a whole lot more expensive.

That would have been a misreporting then, on a very large scale... it's nowhere near 5%. Looking closer at this report, it's actually 5% of the portion of home electric power consumption which excludes things like heat and water, so it's really 5% of 35.2%, which is 1.75% of all home energy use. And that's just in the…

According to that report, washlet toilet seats have assumed a 5% share of energy consumption per household. That is not the same thing as 5% of the countries electricity!

I would love to know your source on this.

Excellent point. People are always so quick to judge Apple for not letting other companies set up competing stores within their store, but it's just ridiculous when you stop and think about it.

Yes, they are both human.

That's pretty cool, but what I find most amazing is the lack of douches in the audience holding up their cell phones to catch a video of it... kudos Japan for living in the moment!

This is maybe the best argument I've ever heard FOR autotune.

I'm surprised this new Bieber video didn't made the cut. I find it way more offensive than the one linked here... maybe it just needs time to ferment.

I stand corrected, I guess. It appears to be pretty benign on iOS though since it's off by default, and only collects a very limited amount of data when the phone is put into diagnostic mode.

Now that's complete BS and you know it.

Let's hope it works better than Tellme.

Like Android, iOS has a number of ways to secure your phone. You can opt for no protection at all, a 4 digit numeric passcode, or a password of any length.

I'm really happy for you that the tablet of your dreams has arrived, but speak for yourself...

Well when it was in beta, it would not let me join since my library is over 25,000 as well. Hopefully this has changed, but I kind of doubt it. I do know that Google's Music locker thing is also limited to 25,000 songs, but I believe it will copy over what it can, and then it just sort of stops.

You're right, 400 people spending America's wealth on security systems is probably a lot better than the rest of us trying to make our mortgage payment.

Please don't try to pick your nose...

I couldn't disagree with that statement more, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree...

As an iOS developer myself, I can guarantee RAM usage is always a great consideration when programming. For example, simple things like scrolling a UITableView (list) greatly benefit from allocating memory for only the content that appears on the screen rather than loading the entire table into memory, and then…
