I believe the original statement is correct. Blackouts are not climate driven. Blackouts can be weather driven.

Agreed. I'm running an iPhone 4. The speech recognition almost keeps up to my speech in real time. The results are typical Google. This application gave me one of those "sufficient…

Regardless of whether you like what he writes, you can't knock the hustle here. Gruber found his audience and a way to monetize.

I don't disagree, but who's "They?" who should have got him pushed through faster? The airline doesn't control anything but the departure of the aircraft. The issues with this gues…

Well put. And all great companies have great people, which is yet another chicken/egg question.

I read it . . . loved parts of it . . . and simultaneously thought it was most random book ever. He does give a disclaimer at the beginning, where he says the book is not meant to …

Ah, updated Chrome to latest Dev version. Much better.

Yup. Terrible rendering. I will not use that version again any time soon.

I use Witopia from Canada. In addition to helping secure my connection to the Internet at all times, it enables access to online services that are otherwise unavailable. These serv…

Gruber had some interesting speculation on last week's episode of The Talk Show podcast. I'm paraphrasing but he was essentially wondering aloud if, due to AirPlay capabilities, iP…

Score! Conversation over.

I'm already jumping to conclusions about girls with iPhones here at work.

Sorry. Believe me, I know how good I've got it, and I was reminded again this past week while on holidays at my father's cabin. It is in a valley, so below the line of sight requir…

Couldn't agree more. I have TV and Internet services on Telus' network here in Canada (I think they use the same platform that AT&T uses, which is a Microsoft IPTV solution). TV an…

I dunno. Do people really have trouble finding the cheapest flights with the likes of Kayak and Farecast around already? My question is how this acquisition really helps travelers.…

Same: I bought a Nexus One because I was upset with Apple's approach with the iPhone. My primary concern with Apple and the iOS platform is how they block applications that they vi…

And I wonder how long it will be before AT&T gets their ass handed to them by Steve Jobs. Next week is the new iPhone. I think this unilateral pricing change indicates a new USmcar…

I have no doubt twitter censors content. When George Bush was up here in Canada on a speaking tour last year I was in the first car stopped at the light while the police blocked tr…

His footnote is interesting: "Although there’s still no decent Android-based equivalent to the iPod Touch." He's right. Based on price, there is no equivalent. On features, the equ…

Sorry, but I disagree. It is interesting. It is interesting because it is a new product category and it is selling like crazy. Truly new categories of personal computing devices do…

If we look at the Nexus One, and how Verizon (and the other carriers slated to ship it) handled that situation, I don't think the relationship between Google and [insert carrier na…

Bob, you just solved one of my problems with the N1. That technique works perfectly for me. Thanks!

My switch was an interesting one. My hopes and expectations for Android on the N1 were about here (holds hand 12 inches off of desk). After two days with it I honestly had a headac…
