    You realize that Marco and John are often wrong, right? They're bright guys, but it makes no sense to worship them.

    Quaking? Please. Apple doesn't quake. If it pushes them in terms of innovation, great. But if you think they're quaking, you're clueless.

    So the screen sucks, the camera sucks, and there's no apps, but the design is great. Let's see how that works for microsoft.

    It's difficult to believe this many people actually still listen to dave winer. He's done, old, and irrelevant. Sad to see people still listen to his drivel.

    Oh god. Stop with the hero worship. The guy is a verified lunatic living off a legacy that he helped build. If you'd stop kissing his ass for one minute you might see what a whacko…

    It's going to be low, because of the app itself. Seriously, if you've never used the app you might want to educate yourself before making such statements. Limiting the number of po…

    Dead in the water? I sure wish we could make a bet on that.

    Lawyer? God, get a fucking grip. No wonder companies treat their users like morons.

    So it starts throttling at a half gig later? And you have to deal with crappy phones? Great deal you got there.

    Hey responded because you insulted him. Of course, you were right. Enough people hate dave winer that RSS does need a new face, but you, like a lot of writers, backed down when con…

    Ridiculous to even consider? What a ridiculous thing to say. There's plenty of other ways to stay in touch. You're using facebook, as is your friend. Don't pretend that without it …

    Nonsense. We've been hearing apple is screwed for 10 years now. That's idiotic. Apple doesn't have to own the market, and if you believe the Galaxy S is going to convert iPhone fan…

    No, it's still the same. Ugly, slow, and bloated.

    Yep, great concept. You can do this without evernote, and you can do this with apps that do a much better job of allowing you to get stuff out. Evernote did not create the ability …

    "And so what if Google can use my posts to learn more about me and give me more targetted ads? I just see that as a win on my side once again" Wow, so mind numbingly scary.

    1and1 is a terrible. Please do not listen to individual accounts of 'no problems'. If you do have a problem, you will be in trouble. 1and1 is a giant company that makes money by qu…

    I'm guessing you have no idea what Path is. It's for sharing with close friends or family. Family, in general, is interested in knowing what's up with other members. That isn't nar…

    I used the app for 5 minutes and I could write a thousand words on why it's better already. Honestly, if you can't see the differences, the quality compared to facebook, the differ…

    It's a serious omission, yet everyone you know seems happy on the iPhone, and the couple that switched didn't even know about turn by turn directions on Android. Doesn't seem serio…

    I have no idea. When I start having problems with finding businesses, or if it takes me to closed businesses, I'll worry about it. So far, in over 2 years using the app, I've not h…

    I don't get the comparison. I use Navigon on my iPhone. I travel extensively. It's been 99.9 percent perfect. As good if not better than stand alone GPS devices. I understand how i…
