I don't think Android is missing anything. Android has a bigger marketshare than Apple, and they entered the game late.
Apple tried the 'vs' ads with their Mac vs Windows, and as popular as those ads were, they didn't help Apple much in sales. But the iPod, which did not have to compare themselves to Windows, which did not have to insult current Window users, but instead showed silhouettes of people enjoying their iPod, conquered the market.
The infrared emitter - i got one for my iPhone, and it sucks. When i upgraded to the Galaxy S2 last summer, i had planned to use my iPhone as a remote. But a touch remote sucks. You have to turn it on, unlock the screen and if the app is not running, run the app, all to flip channels? You can't use it with one hand (at least not reliably) or without looking at the screen. Without tactile feedback, it just doesn't work.
I don't really see the appeal of docks. I'd rather everything just connect through bluetooth or something and we get integration that way.
That's BS. It's not like it's using gravity to move the vehicle forward like on a decline slope. The wind pushes the vehicle forward, which then turns the wheels, which moves the propellers. So all energy that is involved is wind, so this does qualify.
Just because you don't see a useful or 'good use' of it, doesn't mean that others won't. If you're just randomly looking at tweets, you're going to have a hard time finding anything useful. But if you do a targeted search or data mine, then you can come up with useful stuff. Say for instance, all the tweets somebody has made since the time they went online. You can get a pretty good idea of that individual's development. Or the tweets on a day like 9/11.
And like others have mentioned, it's not like resources are scarce to archive them. 140 characters could hold literally trillions upon trillions of tweets on a single hard disk.
NOBODY is saying keep flash around simply because of it's ubiquity. Everybody i know realizes that HTML5 is the future, but there are still a huge number of sites out there running flash, and to drop it all of a sudden is not the answer.
Wow, you have no idea how the economy works. And reading 'Economics in One Lesson' is about as helpful as reading 'Abs in 2mins' and expect to get a six-pack.
Because that's what it comes down to. He claims to have been briefed on it, and claims to know of people who have actually seen it. So is he just senile and his brain is such mushed these days that he can't distinguish his life and career from the media and movies, or he's straight out lying for some odd reason.
Why? Because changing the label from Beta to Finished would magically make them better?
Everything i've used from Google has been free so far, so why the hell do i care what the 'state' of the product is. I'd rather 'beta' some product for free than wait until it's 'finish' before using it for free.
In trying to bring a little bit of both humour and fun to this stressful week, we sat down and came up with a fun event to hold/get us through this
challenging time!
We'll be setting up a gaming server to be ready for Saturday morning.
Yeah, i have to agree. Although the episode was good, it was far too long, and too complex. I don't mean the time paradox, but throwing Hermes problems, Leela and Art budding romance, the scammers, etc all into one LONG episode caused things to jump around too much.
I think this would have worked better if they had released them in 4 longer episodes (maybe full 30mins, rather than 20mins episodes) on each CD... this way, if other networks like Comedy or the Toon network wanted to pick them up and air'd them, they could have.
This is CONSUMER Report, not PROFESSIONAL Report. I always read the same complaints from enthusiasts in whatever they review. If they review speakers, the audiophiles comes out and say how wrong they are. When they review Plasmas and LCD TVs, the 'experts' comes out and say where they went wrong.
I would disagree. Apple's whole success in recent years is due to the iPod, and it's a no brainer that mp3 playing phones would replace iPods eventually. So Apple HAD to get into the cellphone market if they wanted to continue with the Ipod success.
The western world has only shared with themselves. The Chinese have been trying to get into the International Space Station program for years, and they've been denied. Maybe if they had been given the opportunity, this 'race' wouldn't have started.
How is it not effective? Could the problem be, like you alluded to, that there isn't much science behind it atm... and thus perhaps we don't fully understand how it exactly works, so we can't replicate it 'effectively?'
For something that's a couple of pounds, and doesn't require a lot of energy, it's pretty damn effective if you ask me.
Alright, lets run with your restaurant analogy. I know that if i were at a busy restaurant, and i was waiting 30mins for a table, and some regular showed up, and got seated before me, i would leave. What would you do?
I use it myself occasionally, like when i know what the site would be and it saves one step (ie looking for VLC, i know that would be the first result, and i don't remember the url off the top of my head).
But what i really like about that button, is giving directions to people who are internet-illiterate. For example, instead of giving them a bunch of directions, i just tell them to go to Google, type in 'Firefox', and hit 'I'm Feeling Lucky', and follow the directions to download that.
Really. I was hoping to replace my Ipaq 1410, which i've had now for about 4 years (and read hundreds of ebooks on), and my cellphone, with something that does both in slick style. Unfortunately the iPhone is awful for ebook reading. What it's missing imo is a side button, something so i can hold the phone and read all with one hand (the side button would be for page changing). Oh, and 'legitimate' ebook reading software i suppose.

I wonder what Jobs would think if Google decides to take Apple off their search engine.

That's right, there's no more unknowns of the universe left. Hubble solved everything.

Because the Today screen sure looks a lot like Windows Mobile Today screen.

Yes, amateur porn.

Not just physical dimension, but pricing as well. The reason why the EEE is doing so well is because it's $400.
Well, here's an email i got from them, and they are being throttled:
Dear Customers, As many of you may have heard of late, there have been quite a few activities through Bell that have caused some negative performance on P2P and BT traffic for us and all other DSL providers in Ontario and Québec.
TekSavvy is committed to fighting this injustice. For more details on this matter, go to: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/teksavvy for various discussions.
In trying to bring a little bit of both humour and fun to this stressful week, we sat down and came up with a fun event to hold/get us through this challenging time!
We'll be setting up a gaming server to be ready for Saturday morning.
That's interesting, because i'm with TekSavvy and i'm getting throttled. I'm in the K/W area.

Where are you getting the information that they're selling the Zune at a loss? It certainly wasn't in the article.

So yeah, that button is helpful for me.

A phone hasn't been 'just a phone' for quite a long time now. Where have you been?
So you'll rather pay $8 an extra a month rather than just turn off your speakers? Interesting.
