The reseller I was talking about is http://www.mcselec.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&#... . I am not associated with MCS Electronics, but I've shipped hardware with a PID…

The iPhone 3GS is still using a 65nm processor which means it's using almost twice as much silicon for the same number of transistors as an iPad 2, driving up cost That's not how i…

Um, the answers sometimes change with time in this business.

Those were strategic decisions, though. In this case, EA needs Apple a LOT more than Apple needs EA.

Don't Share that with your boss. That's what Circles are for. Sorry. I'm a busy person, and I simply can no longer be bothered to learn (or to fully think through) the consequences…

I think it had more to do with the fact that MySpace pages all looked like crap and played shitty music at you automatically when you opened them. I think you're both saying exactl…

What happened in '08-'09 had as much to do with market capitalism as the Stalinist purges had to do with Marxism.

Sounds like a plan. Now all you have to do is convince the Chinese to adopt the same laws.

Those strategic innovations seem to have forestalled WWIII, so I don't know that I would be quite that disrespectful.

In many parts of the US it's illegal to record phone calls without the knowledge of both parties. That can't help.

Does this sharing process still carve a giant hunk out of the recipient's Dropbox space allocation, though? That's what I don't understand about any of these services -- Google, Dr…

It's always interesting to compare the crowds in the Sony and Apple stores at the local upscale shopping center. Sony tends to have a couple of bored salespeople standing around tw…

Can you leave the laptop at home and talk to it with VNC? The iPad is God's own VNC client.

So you've never been lost in a Home Depot (or your local equivalent thereof)?

In summary US manufacturing output is increasing and US manufacturing output exceeds that of China by about $100B, but only employs about a tenth as many workers as China. Didn't r…

It seems to me that pretty much every mass shooting (the one this week in Oakland, Congresswoman Giffords, Virginia Tech, Columbine, etc) have one thing in common: they were not pe…

How about deciding what's best for now Because laws tend to last well beyond the "now." Another way of putting it (not original with me): "You know you have a stable, mature societ…
