The app store significantly reduces the friction needed to discover and install apps. In the first 10 minutes of using it, I discovered 3 useful apps and installed them all without loading a disk image, installing it, dragging the mounted d

I know many more people who have Kindles or iPads and nobody who own a Nook or a Tab... I live in the SF Bay Area but still, it's an oddly different market where you are... where are you?

CS4 was widely panned and coupled with the poor economy, many companies skipped it. Adobe took a loss this quarter last year. The article doesn't state it but many CS3 owners have upgraded to CS5 because of the improving economy, some new f

The Android vs. iOS marketshare race is one in which iOS is hobbled because of iOS's exclusivity. When the iPhone 4 hits Verizon next year, $199 Android phones will take a massive hit in demand and they will quickly be dropped in price to s

Facebook has said that they don't want to put in features that would discourage participation. If someone updates their status and lots of people "dislike" it, they might not want to update their status next time. For HN, I'd like to see a

Thanks! We'd love to hear about any ideas to make it more relevant.

We sort the tweets you'd normally get by relevance rather than chronologically so if you are actively looking at every tweet already then you'd have already seen the tweets we recommend. It's more useful if you follow a lot of people and do

Thanks for the suggestions, we'll definitely have more people review the copy. And you're right, people who don't follow very many people don't need this app and people who are on all day long don't need this app. But we suspect there are m

Season and location are factors too. In the winter in the SF bay area, it's very unlikely your skin can make enough vitamin D. After one winter here, I my D levels were at 20 ng/ml -- way below what many believe is the sufficient level of 3

Core i5 and i7 windows laptops were available for 6 months before similarly equipped mac laptops. It kept me from buying a MacBook Pro when it seemed like I'd be paying a premium for old chips.

Apple had problems in the 90s because Windows became similar enough to the Mac OS that people who once preferred the Mac no longer thought it was worth the price premium. Sales fell and developers "defected" to Windows.

Flash could have made it easy to target iPhone and Android with very similar code bases. Now, developing for one, doesn't making porting to the other so simple. It forces small developers to ask: bigger market or open market?

blasdel, would you reading Mac OS X Internals if Apple wasn't Unix? Smart Geeks intelligently exploring and debating things like this is a win for any OS.
