What is Bitcoin's deeper significance? I don't know much, but here are some sketches. 1) Bitcoin has the potential to destroy the tools of monetary policy. 2) Bitcoin has the potential to hide taxable income from governments. 3) G

That's what I always think when I read about these sorts of problems in Japan and Korea. There's a tremendous amount of pressure generated by the overwhelming influence of the big companies, and the shame felt by those who aren&#x

I like what Apple is doing, but I hope Microsoft can build a viable competitor ecosystem. I do think Apple is good at beautiful, approachable products, but I think they make so many sacrifices in terms of power and usability to achieve it t

The author's been reviewing OS X like this since 10.0. Probably involved with Apple's OSes since even further back. It's clearly become something dearer to him than a child.

Looks lovely. I would be really interested to own one of these if I had the money to buy surplus devices at the moment. Trying to see how using it solely vs an iPad would be interesting, 8.1 is clearly a more capable mobile OS but I wonder

my impression of nexus devices is that you are tied to the package of google services. is this so, or can a nexus-user break free from google's domain and enjoy the benefits of a quality low-cost device without being beholden to the go

Thanks for that. I do hope you're right. The prospect of eternal isolation is not a pretty one.

That photo of the Hubble Deep Field really messes with me... in fact any photo like that. You have to realise: somewhere out there, in fact, most likely, many, many places out there, are planets where everything we have and will experience

News guys getting desperate. How many times can you run the story "finely-calibrated update to world's most popular phone still insanely popular"?

Maybe now that the early phases of globalisation have settled down and all the frontiers have dried up, the global culture of movement has died down. It's a lot harder to think of moving as a possibility, let alone a good possibility,

Apple approaches similar crisis, strangely soon. I predict the company also won't respond fast enough to Google and the shift from touch to touchless computing. CEO Tim Cook focuses too much on preserving revenues streams, rather than

No, I don't see your point at all. You don't seem to have any point - just anger and empty cynicism. In fact, to me you seem to embody everything bad that I was trying to describe in my original post, so thanks for providing an ex

Hi there, thanks for doing due diligence and checking out my record. But I don't accept that my criticism of Microsoft's business moves are hypocritical. It would have been hypocritical if my reaction to Surface was "pfft, ju
