Samsung copying Apple is not bullshit, it was very overt and obvious to anyone paying attention. it was also proved in court.

Agreed, reminds me of mp3. >Elements of the recordings that are easily perceived are represented with exacting precision, while other parts that are not very audible can be represented less accurately. Meanwhile, inaudible information c

Strongly disagree, not being able to keep up with demand is not a bad problem to have. As for being out of ideas, Please - the competition are mainly me too products. No one else releases actual sales numbers and many android handsets are f

Agreed, I don't see the need for change, the incremental updates have gotten us to the point where iOS functions very well. If you're looking for innovative UI there are over 600,000 apps, many of them with amazing and novel UIs very well s

That link explains a mode by which Spotify's cloud based music can be available offline. iTunes Match gives access to YOUR OWN music via the cloud. Do you not see the difference? I have 15,000 songs in my iTunes library, the vast majority o

Spotify is online music, what are you talking about?

Spotify bears no resemblance to iTunes Match so how can it be better?

I think that there is a tendency amongst us westerners to believe that meditation is about attaining something, Chögyam Trungpa described this as a type of "spiritual materialism". I've noticed this behaviour repeatedly, people feeling the

My favorite Guy Kawasaki quote is in connection with the launch of windows 95, when someone said that windows is now as good as the Mac. He response was "Saying Windows is equal to Macintosh is like finding a potato that looks like Jesus an

Apple products are as good and better than they have always been, the problem is that users now have this entitled attitude and nothing is good enough for them. Witness the tech press' reaction to the iPhone 5, they're bored because it does

friend of mine went on holiday to Tokyo (UK resident) a few years ago, he told me that the Yakuza seemed to have a corporate head office, a modern building with receptionists, typists etc, is this true?

You are right of course, thinking this through - it is obvious that if innocents are targeted there is little honour in all of this.

I think you're right that this guy was being shielded from the violence but I don't understand your objection to the Yakuza being referred to as honorable. Is it not possible to be both violent AND honorable? No one is suggesting that they

Yeah, but you seem to be assuming that the experience would be completely alien, a language needing to be learned so to speak. I'm not so sure about that, perhaps music being the most visceral of the arts, does not require interpretation or

Maybe, but Apple would be inclined to make it Mac / iOS only, which would be counter productive. The other non Apple stuff has had a strategic importance, iTunes for windows enabled them to sell iPods and Safari for windows helped with webs

Not sure what you mean by "act like a monopoly". But you're right that Apple never forgot that microsoft ripped them off and dominated the industry with their sub par OS. (I know about the Xerox stuff). This is why Steve Jobs said very clea

The article is trite, the kind of thing one comes up with as a teenager, believing it to be an insight. The social contract is such that most of us are thoughtful enough not to burden someone absentmindedly greeting us with a literal answer

Slightly off topic: The setting for his game is apparently inspired by Myst. I never got the appeal of Myst, I know it was very popular but to me it just seemed to be not mush more than a slideshow. It had the reputation of being the most p

Your suggestions are geek level features, not sure how this could be "huge". I agree though that Zappa was an interesting man.

Still can't get used to these Microsoft Stores. I should probably get over it, but every time time I see one, it strikes me that they're copying Apple in a really lame way.

Those of you who continually refer to piracy as stealing are muddying the waters. I agree that it is morally wrong to download copyrighted works without paying for them, but whenever someone uses the word theft, I switch off. It is akin to
