    Melinda Gates: No Apple Products in our Home

    It seems short sighted to deliberately avoid contact with the competition. Here is a crazy idea... maybe if you use the other guy's stuff for a while it will give you some ideas about things you could do better in YOUR stuff. I saw this attitude all the time when I worked at Microsoft...

    Average Teen Texts 3339 Times Per Month?

    I remember what it was like to be a teen yapping on the phone all the time. I bet I would have been a texting fiend if it had been available back in the dino-days. But I am not a kid and I don't use it at all. I would if it wasn't so expensive, since it CAN be very convenient at times. And I...

    The Rise of Text Messaging

    I am that one guy who refuses to text because I find the cost irritating. It's too bad it is so hard to prove price fixing charges... the way the telcos raise rates together is awfully suspicious.

    Should Videotaping the Police Really Be a Crime?

    He was using a GoPro brand camera stuck to his helmet. It isn't a neon sign saying, "you are being recorded" but it could not be characterized as hidden, either. It looks like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pointofviewcameras/4058768763/

    Ultimate Mini-ITX HD Platform Combines DX10.1 and Dual HDMI

    If the videos have to be encoded in a certain way it's not that useful. Who has time to screw around with converting stuff? If I can thrown any crazy codec HD file at it and it plays smoothly though, awesome.

    Tesla Raises $82.5M For Retail Stores

    The dealership model seems to be from the customer's perspective designed to trick you into paying as much as possible for your car. I hope Tesla will choose to do something different and not make people's first contact with the company an unpleasant ordeal, like every other auto buying...

    NY Times Ads Served Up Malware

    I run ABP and I still got the popup at NYT somehow. Obviously I didn't agree to install anything. :)

    Which Google Projects Will Bite the Dust?

    Thanks to that article, I discovered Google Notebook, which is great for quickly collaborating with a few people, or just saving links for myself to check out later. I started using it immediately, so it'll probably get flushed soon.

    Music Royalty Rates Stay The Same

    Here is an old breakdown of iTunes fees. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/04/23/itunes_store_a_greater_cash_crop_than_apple_implies.html I don't see where the royalty rate factors in, but Apple isn't keeping $0.90 per song sold. They seem to be buying the songs at wholesale prices...

    Blu-ray Market Share on the Decline?

    This attitude is a big part of BR's problem. BladeVenom, I am not saying you're a jerk who is killing BR. You watch what works for you. I'm only observing that a lot of people have the attitude that DVD or upscaled DVD is good enough and BR isn't worth the price premium. To me, the...

    The Chevrolet Volt Officially Revealed

    Every time there is news about this car, it gets worse. Less range, more expensive, more fugly. Still, it is still good to have options, to see the market evolve. We just have to be patient. The auto industry changes slowly. You can't rush innovation. You also can't rush giant dinosaur-like...

    iTunes Borking Windows

    The Zune forces you to use the Zune desktop software exactly as the iPod requires iTunes. And it is no better--it's actually far worse, in my opinion. At least there are some "drag and drop" hacks for the iPod, like EphPod. I have a Zune, got it as a gift. The device itself seems at least as...

    Knowing The Difference Between Netbook and Notebook

    I never heard the word "netbook" until I saw it on this site. And I won't be using it, instead I will stick to this way of describing all sorts laptop computers: Nice laptop Cheap laptop Or maybe I will start spleencasting from my blog into the cloud from my netbook. *barf*

    Plastic Logic Reader Demo

    This looks much like the Sony Reader except: - Bigger screen - Thin - Better battery life - Compatible with normal document formats like PDF - Likely to be massively expensive! And since I have a Sony Reader and kind of like it,* SIGN ME UP for this. The Sony product is a pain in the ass...
