    Getting up in the morning.

  2. Re:Identifying problem source on The Story of the Original iPhone's Development · · Score: 2

    "No, if we fail, it will be because you demanded we demo a product before it was ready." And I can totally see Steve Jobs going "Oh, you're right. Sorry!"

  3. Re:give proper credit on The Story of the Original iPhone's Development · · Score: 2

    I'm sure what Nokia and Palm feel real good right at the moment, now that you've finally given them the credit they deserve.

    If there's one thing I can rely on Slashdot about, especially when no one here has ever met a woman, it's reliable parenting advice.

  11. Re:In ten years time.. on To Mollify Google on Moto Patents, Apple Proposes $1/Device Fee · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be 'the rise and fall and rise and fall of Apple' ? They've been rising and falling for over 30 years!

  12. Re:Looks like the beginning of the end for Apple on Apple CEO Tim Cook Apologizes For Maps App, Recommends Alternatives · · Score: 1

    I concur. Inaccurate mapping data will obviously be Apple's downfall. Nobody saw it coming.

    Sorry, that was me. BIG burrito last night.

  14. Re:Is Apple using undercover marketing? on Apple Is Giving Away Its Secrets By Litigating · · Score: 3, Informative

    Every new iPhone model sells more than all the previous models combined. That's a heck of a lot of people to pay off for standing in line. I want in.

  15. Re:The old connector isn't just for pins... on Reports Say Apple Is Shrinking Its Docking Connector With iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Apple's thought of how the new connector will work for docks. And there will probably be adapters.

  21. Re:Why didn't you just get an iPad? on Ask Slashdot: Websites Friendly To eReader Browsers? · · Score: 1

    The Kobo isn't my only mobile internet reading device, but I do have it with me often enough to wonder if there's a better way to browse.

    Perfect! Now I just have to convince the Kobo people to implement it!

  23. Re:program it! on Ask Slashdot: Websites Friendly To eReader Browsers? · · Score: 1

    Apparently, some source is available.

    https://github.com/kobolabs/Kobo-Reader

    But not the actual reading program itself. Nor the browser, from what I could find.

  24. Re:Google Reader on Ask Slashdot: Websites Friendly To eReader Browsers? · · Score: 1

    That's what I'm currently doing. Unfortunately, for long articles, scrolling is still an annoying problem.

  25. Re:A bad quarter on The (Big) Problem With RIM · · Score: 1

    True. "Abandoned" is too much. They'll obviously eventually migrate over to QNX for their entire product line.

    How about "undercooked", "mishandled", and "developer unfriendly"?
