It definitely looks that way, but it's a chicken-hatching thing right now. Microsoft has eggs. Count them when they're chickens, not when they're eggs. Surface still isn't on the market, we still don't have a price, and no one has been able to use half the hardware made for it yet. It's vaporware until it's in the…

Actually that's a really good question. I wonder if they've ever thought of including a microphone, or if they just assumed there was nothing to hear? For all they know, Mars is filled with all kinds of background noise like wind blowing, storms, stuff falling over. I'd kind of like to hear what Mars sounds like, even…
My head just exploded.
no..... $25 for 4 GB AND cute little toast design with cute little names. You're paying for the experience... can you really put a price on that? I think not.
They don't have to make an app better than on Android. Nor would they. They'd make it as similar as possible to make the app indispensable, which means they maintain users. Keeping users on the web is Google's goal. If iOS users are on the web (and they are... a LOT), Google wants a piece of that. They won't drop that…
Google relies on tracking us and our activity on as many devices as it possibly can. The more it sees us doing, the more it "understands" us, and the more targeted its ads become. Ergo, diversity + tracking = revenue, for Google. Dropping support from iOS entirely would destroy a major tracking platform that Google is…
Will this mean, from a operational standpoint, that any app with an embedded YouTube URL will now end up triggering Safari first, which will then in turn trigger the YouTube app via web APIs? Right now, the URL appears to be recognized by the OS and launches the app directly. But if there's no more app to match to…
Isn't that exactly what Apple does, and are hated for? The real downside would be that Google actually relies heavily on being used on multiple types of devices. The more info they can gather about your devices, usage, locations, etc, the more they can fuel their advertising model. If you switch to a non-Google…
I think this is actually a good sign for the future of Apple. The more they stay out of other 3rd party systems, the less hijacking of services they'll be doing. Now if only you could choose, natively, which app should be launched for which type of service (ie, which browser for URLs, which map app for directions,…
I'd be curious if "ended" means, "it expired and we're choosing not to renew it" (perfectly fine), or, "we hate Google and chose to terminate our agreement" (perfectly Apple, and perfectly childish). Either way, hopefully a better result in the end.
Those can actually be lifted right off and put in a dishwasher, or washed by hand. Some even have a smaller hole that actually goes through a drawer, so you can still use the space under the cutting board to store less-used items, as long as they fit around the PVC insert used for the hole chute. Great for storing…
There's also a cost factor, aside from the less sweaty explanation. when you're working with electronics and glass and sharp parts often, you regularly pinprick the fingers or get them snagged on a wire or piece of glass. with a glove, you'd have to replace the entire glove every time. with these, you just replace a…
too big for what? for bacon? you're saying you don't want to eat too much bacon? are you okay?
Actually... I'd say that Windows 8 is far more ST:TNG-like than iOS is. But really, if you stop and think about it... how else should a tablet be designed to look? Flat, buttons around the edge, square or rounded corners. That's about it. Not much room for variation there. The patent went to the first company that was…
I agree. I'm positive that there are absolutely no incompetent lawyers out there.
Woo hoo I just snagged outlooktoday@outlook.com
More importantly, the idea of "they are not thinking 3 models ahead..." automatically assumes that each iteration of the phone will have no distinguishing features. I can assure you, Apple is thinking 3 models ahead. Had they removed the number on the iPhone 4, the industry would have simply called it "The Retina…
Personally, I appreciate these. I use a standing desk at home, and want to switch to one at my office, but I'm in an office with a tight budget where formal standing desks are very pricey, and office consistency and decor is important. Seeing a variety of options and methods is something I actually really appreciate,…
Agreed here, too. I worked in a factory where fresh international specialty coffees were roasted (not Folgers or Maxwell House garbage... I mean real coffee), and 24 hours was all that's needed. Absolutely, once you hit 1-2 weeks since roasting, you're talking very stale coffee. With ONE exception.... sun roasting. If…
