Okay, here's a crazy idea for advertisers. Tie the advertisement to the type of content that the user is already there to read about. Then you can serve ads from the content web server and make it indistinguishable from content, comple

I've commented elsewhere, but I received refunds for HP Touchpad purchases. HP ceasing to activate Touchpad is a bit of an issue, but at least you can reactivate one by restoring a backup profile, your own or a generic one found online

If you midway opt for a different credit card, phone number, alias, name, or address that all gets lumped together. They get a better picture of you. Lots of people will cut and paste passwords and sensitive information while working and sw

Flexibility doesn't necessarily mean portability. Always having to remember to take the right dongle is wasted mental effort. I'd rather lug around a slightly heavier device. I'm writing to you on a 6.5lb laptop with FireWire

Are you forgetting that most people get their phones with their plans? People will feel that they can absorb $20 or even $30 extra per month on their plan for a top tier phone. Absorbing any hit over $200 when someone lives hand to mouth ma

The other nice thing about BT instead of IR is you eliminate the risk of cross contaminating signals. This is most likely a common cycling in the 90s story but I use to have a heart rate monitor and one guy I would ride with had the same de

How do you think externally forced legality factors into self-determination of a group of people encapsulated linguistically and geographically into a larger nation? If this was a referendum in Tibet voting to leave China, would you have a

Once upon a time I had a Dell Streak mobile, carrier locked. Without rooting there was no way to remove the default Facebook app. It would keep asking for you to log in. There was nothing you could do. If you dismissed the login activity it

You've broken some pretty obvious rules of modern propaganda here. Ascribing Satoshi to your cause is akin to using the Great Leader proof by authority. Your arguments sound too early 20th century. The obvious problem is both sides can
