I wasn't comparing regular soda to diet soda, I was comparing having diet soda to not having diet soda. Diet soda affects gut flora and insulin levels. Calories are not the whole story.

That's exactly his point. The approach of merely counting calories ignores the fact that some foods such as diet soda are low in calories but can have an effect on body composition. You shouldn't just "eat less" you shou

> Developers avoid Windows for far more complex, intangible reasons that go way beyond a code converter. There are all kinds of perceptions about Windows and Windows users that simply will not change because of this tool. More developers

Almost everyone I know that owns a Mac dual boots Windows, uses it in a VM, or doesn't use OSX at all. Macs would not have anywhere near the success they have had without Windows compatibility.

To explain further, for the downvoters, Apple is trying to position itself as "the company that safeguards your privacy (for those that can afford it)" because its their key point of differentiation with Google. Its very unlikely

The discussion is not about whether Apple is a profitable company, its about whether "everyone who could afford it would buy an iPhone". There is plenty of evidence that many people prefer Android regardless of price. Whether Appl

This is both true and completely irrelevant.

My point is that there are probably plenty of Indians who, if they had 53,000 to spend on a phone, would choose a high end Android. Some iPhone fans try to make the argument that "everyone who could afford it would buy an iPhone",

I'm really happy about the 4 USB ports too. It was a pain having to use a USB hub on my Model B to get keyboard+mouse+WiFi.

This is just not true. Android manufacturers sell huge numbers of high end phones that cost the same amount as iPhones. I have owned both, and found the Android to be a much better user experience. iPhone has the worst keyboard I've ev

Even if this has no practical reason to exist, it makes me happy to know that it does. The world is a better place for it.

Good analogy. But you got the countries around the wrong way with "(US/USSR, Apple/Google)". The resemblence to the cold war is even more striking when you realise that this also parallels planned economy vs free market.

I like almost all of her icons, but I can't stand the command icon. It doesn't obviously relate to its meaning and its difficult to describe in words to someone else. It causes so much confusion. I can see why Jobs didn't wan

I don't think that iOS is more logically organised, easier to use or more intuitive than Android. The settings system is a mess, and it is often much harder to do simple things on iOS than Android unless you stay strictly within Apple&

What about patents that come out of universities? How do you determine the "revenue related to the patents"?

Buy an Android, and if you are worried about Google's targeted ads, then don't link it to a Google account. Or put Ubuntu or FirefoxOS on there. There may not be a perfect option out there with no tradeoffs, but there are options

What kind of warped reality do you live in that only selling 5 million units a year while updating the hardware every week is "no big deal"? Regarding rapid obsolescence, this seems to work very well in Asian markets. They typical

I'm sure he does believe that it is a better tablet for some people's needs, that's pretty incontrovertible. Any argument that one is simply "better" than the other in general is pretty silly.

You are missing my point. It is not that it is impossible for people to move away from Google, just that it is far more likely that they will move away from Facebook. And I don't remember anyone saying that people wouldn't eventua

How many people do you know who use gmail? Every time they go on the webmail client they are pretty much back on Google's homepage. Between all the people who use Android, Chrome, gmail etc, Google would be just fine if Apple and Mozil
