I think national governments are not going to feel like rushing to the aid of virtual currencies - from my understanding they have the potential to eradicate tax bases.

This looks like that Firefox Junior prototype that popped up a while ago. Nice to see thumb-centered controls spreading on tablets.

Awesome novel idea.

I'm not talking about UI in general, I'm talking about taste in UI - style and general good looks. I don't know how everyone else feels on this, but for me Apple has stuck far too …

I think it's interesting, but for me one of Apple's weakest points as a company is its taste in software UI. iOS 7 strikes me as catch-up - Apple is late to a party started by Goog…

Okay, I'd say you're both off here. I think you're right that Bsullivan should take Google more seriously - I think he's going to have to eat his hat with the way Google is heading…

Wow... what are you even doing on this site? What's it like hating everything?

Siri hasn't gone anywhere and it's still being improved. There's no mention of it anywhere? So what, there's many other previous headline features they're not highlighting. I'm not…

I think this is slightly apologetic thinking. Apple didn't start off with a complete ecosystem of obeisant suppliers, in-house hardware, software, and retail stores - they built up…

Apple marketing sounds so hi-tech, so unique That's exactly the point. It doesn't matter whether it's really hi-tech or unique or not. It's Apple's ability to present these things …

It's all about execution. When Android manufacturers make these "innovations," by and large they're sloppily implemented and poorly communicated. They're generally part of dozens o…

Yes, discipline is a great word for it. Against a sea of nay-sayers and critics they keep their composure and stay focused on the long-term. The result is that their competitors bl…

I find Apple so incredibly impressive. They target a few key features with every release, absolutely nail those features, and sell the new products perfectly. Their product line-up…

The number take-away from this for me is wow, Apple wields an awesome power. They move to change design conventions, and boom! - a worldwide ecosystem of designers and developers s…

If it was me, it'd be a toss-up between a combination of: eReader, tablet, and a Nexus 4. Items to increase my learning efficiency (eReader/tablet) and productivity (Nexus 4). And …

Thanks, that clears it up. I suppose we can't really complain about poor proofing, seeing as they are giving away this content for free.

Sitting near the front of the auditorium were the parents of a freshman — an investment manager from Bronxville, N.Y., and his wife. The father went to Dartmouth, and when their so…

Don't dismiss the power of a generally constructive, optimistic culture.

I see where you're coming from. Most young people around the world don't really engage with creative learning, the fog of social games obscures the power and possibilities of educa…

Nobody is "selecting." His point is that if it is highly advantageous to "look at and manipulate things on screens," within the population genes that makes individuals better-adapt…

Interesting, I've come across this article before, but now owing to events in my life my perspective on it is completely different. Up until 2011 I was basically a upper-middle gra…

Looks like the tide is really turning on legalisation - more and more political rats are turning over and claiming they have always been in favour of legalisation. Tacky, but still…

>fondleslabs Ugh, I HATE this word. Why do people use it? To make themselves feel clever and superior?

It's interesting to see the great lengths the TC writer goes to to justify (primarily to himself, it seems) this idea as socially valid. I would have thought the efficiency benefit…

How does this relate to text on the internet? Surely most text fed into big data systems is digital, so representation is a non-issue. If this is only to prevent optical-character …
