That statement is purely personal. I still cannot find my way around xcode, I get lost everytime I fire up itunes and ipod wheel still feels awkward to me.
What you say makes sense. But I have heard this excuse from two different flight attendants on different occasions, never thought to ask why they let the book readers read books. Still I am going to believe them. Perhaps electronic devices are more interactive and engaging?
Still you wouldn't have room to turn on your laptop without further endangering people in case of emergency.
And don't give me the "radio interference" crap - there's no evidence at all to support this and it's routinely ignored by anybody in the industry.
How many times do you have to be told that the point is to make sure you pay attention to what is happening around you since take off and landing is when the plane and you are most vulnerable.
Many social experiments Google ran have failed -buzz and wave comes to mind first- and yet they still keep pushing. People don't go to Google for interacting. Google means business, Facebook and Twitter do not.
This also reminds me of Microsoft's efforts to force themselves into others' more lucrative turfs and looking pathetic in the process. Google should just stick to being Google instead of immitating others.
They are also doing the bonus adjustments wrong. It should be the other way around: If successful extra +25%, otherwise, regular bonus. After all success means (apparently for them) entrance to another market.
... that turns just about any flat surface into a virtual trackpad...
Great, I don't need my trackball anymore. Oh wait...
Described by its creators Celluon as the next evolution of the mouse, the evoMouse works in a similar way to the Invisible Computer Mouse we looked at last year – but is infinitely cuter.
Awww...cute. I am glad you did not mean a mouse on streoids, like those rats in Fallout 3.
Two infrared sensors that form the eyes of the small animal-shaped device track the user's finger movements
Great, I don't have to use my fingers anymore. Oh wait...
The evoMouse can even be used for drawing – or is that finger painting?
This should help let the Van Gogh in you out. Your fat fingers can't possibly get in the way.
while a handwriting recognition feature lets you write with your finger or a pen.
Phew, I thought you just said "your finger or a penis". Imagine that.
the evoMouse could also help reduce repetitive stress injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by allowing users to hold their hand in a natural position.
Yes, in its natural position I always point my finger forward and down.

This 1$ app/game business is creating and will continue to create many one hit wonders. Until this guy consistently makes more successful games, what he says is not relevant. Especially what he says about Nintendo.
I believe your analogy is wrong. ebook prices are not as low as you make them to be. Used books are in fact cheaper than kindle versions (libraries are full of used books too, that doesn't seem to bother anyone). Go to Amazon and compare a few books. e.g., Change We Can Believe In: Kindle: 8.09, Paperback: 8.49, Used: 3.68. But you don't have to pay shipping and you don't have to wait, it is very convenient. Combined with the curiosity factor, no wonder it ebooks caught up so fast.
This is an expected transition that was eventually going to happen.
You know what you are getting in to when you buy things. If I buy a shirt and wash it a few times and the color comes off, the shirt maker pays a tax? You can extend the same logic to anything money can buy.
Apple on the other hand seems to enjoy drinking their own cool aid.
What exactly is the basis for these claims that the tech is stolen and they cant do it on their own? Stealth has been around for a long time, Chinese may well have found a way to do it. If not, there have been a lot of Chinese researchers in the US, they may not have worked directly on the projects, but definitely there must be many who worked on relevant projects, and nothing is stopping them from taking the knowledge back to their country with them.
What did you think, they would unveil it piece by piece to not surprise people?

I think you are grossly exaggerating. The so called "events" are simply difference images, and they have long been used for representation of motion where accurate representation is not needed and computational power is scarce.

Do you have a key for "£" on your keyboard?
i think you totally missed the point.

how rock band like games were the thing not so long ago? I feel like the same hype is brewing again but this time with mobile games.

Watt is a unit of power, not energy.
Your ignorance is astounding. You should learn more about Ski Lifts Cans before making such comments.
Entire corporations are now being run purely on the Internet. It is not ok to break the law and not be held responsible for it.

Did that really sound like I was asking a question?
So, in short, you are ok with riding with 20 gallons of highly flammable liquid but you are afraid of 14 gallons of compressed air?

the article would have been titled "iPhones blast into space". It is an Android and suddenly we remember to use the term "mobile device".

If you get rid of the outliers red line's slope is much less steeper. We clearly need more data.
If you squint real hard the one with the long hair looks like Jack Sparrow.
On the other hand it seems russians have already solved the problem:

Encryption algorithms are also public, that doesn't mean they won't work.
Google is driven by necessity, Facebook is driven by vanity. Guess which one is here to stay.
