Having a native English speaker proofread the copy would’ve helped as well. It’s amazing how many mistakes they managed to make in such a short text.

I just went through the first 30 titles in the AFI top 100. Out of those 30, only four are not available in the iTunes Store: Sunset Blvd., Some Like it Hot, Star Wars, and The Gra…

Apple is damned if they do and damned if they don’t. If Apple decides a device is too slow to run a new major version of the OS, the decision will be condemned by people like u/jhe…

The iPad and Surface RT have native apps that work offline. The iPad runs iTunes. Surface RT tablets run Office. Both run Office365. The iPad runs iWork, a good alternative to Offi…

I find it interesting that Microsoft claims in this clip that a laptop isn’t a laptop if it doesn’t run Apple iTunes. Personally, I can’t stand iTunes on Windows, but hey, clearly …

TL;DR: “If an article has more comments than votes, don’t add your comment to it or you may kill it off entirely!” Rings true to me and, if indeed accurate, it seems like a good pr…

No, Circa has a large team of actual human editors. That’s why the content is good. Also, Circa started out as an iPhone app. The iPad and Android versions came later.

As a citizen of the Netherlands I can tell you that the country is as neo-liberal[1] as they come, and yet, we have universal healthcare, gay marriage, euthanasia, and abortion. (A…

> the "socialist left" is far more intrusive in our lives You’re giving the movement way too much credit if you believe the “socialist left” has any clout in the US. I also hope yo…

> Thou shalt not kill IMO, the question at hand is more like: ‘should we keep someone on life support when there is little to no chance that person will get better?’. And is taking…

> I'd argue that its far right and right Amein, that is my view as well. I was born in the Netherlands but have lived in the US for 8 years and I still spend 3 months out of the ye…

When I was growing up, I thought crocodiles were the closest thing to dinosaurs. I’m fairly sure that’s what I was taught in school. Then came all the drawings of dinosaurs with fe…

If anyone else was wondering, it was supposed to read ‘thermite’. (I had to DDG it, and then still, I had never heard of the stuff.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

/u/aivaomo is hellbanned, but here is his reply to my earlier comment: Make that the 5S’ home button/TouchID sensor. Plus the outermost element of the rear camera lens is rather se…

> the kind of technically correct that isn't very constructive Fair enough. That’s not to say Apple won’t ever update Safari for Windows, but I too won’t hold my breath. Apple’s so…

The iPhone display is covered by Corning’s Gorilla Glass (not sapphire). The iPhone 4S’ TouchID sensor (the home button) is covered by a small synthetic sapphire pane. However, giv…

> [Safari] was temporarily distributed for Windows Meaning from June of 2007 to this day. 6 years is temporary for a browser as much as living on earth feels temporary for a human.…

As I understand it, that's for 2 devs. Subtract the Kickstarter fees, sending out the Kickstarter rewards, and various taxes, that leaves them with maybe $20k per person. Of course…

They guessed at the revenues, not the profits. Apart from Apple and Samsung, no one is making money selling tablets.

It depends on what you mean by a ‘tablet market’. On the hardware side, sure, there are plenty of companies that sell Android tablets (albeit often at a loss). On the software side…

Jobs said he believed he could make a greater impact on the world by working at Apple than by using his time to organize charities. Given the title of his essay, Gates seems to agr…
