FWIW, iCab/Terra help with this style of browsing a little bit. They don't seem to cache as much and do a better job of handling more background tabs with things waiting to be read.

tangent: isn't Hulu still blocking access from phone-like devices? Agree that navigating flash sites on a screen this small will be frustrating.

MS shouldering more of the burden for software updates makes the comparison a little flawed though, doesn't it? If every PC buyer was at the mercy of their OEM when they wanted to upgrade to the next version of Windows, desktop computing wo

Apple's ability to smoothly (re)use OS X components for iOS and vice-versa seems like a big plus. They can easily move staff around if need be, and the best features move back and forth quickly.

This is clever, but I'd be curious to see how long the cable ties will last before dulling/breaking off. If you plan on riding with any regularity in the winter on snow/ice, the $100 for a set of studded tires is well worth it. They'll last

Will Google allow you to install a patched version on a native Chrome OS notebook? It seems like some of the value lies in the hardware/software integration, and those machines are going to ship with locked-down bootloaders. Otherwise, I ag

Does anyone know if Google intends/expects to sell more of these than the N1? Or is it primarily a developer-focused device?

Weren't multiple Android tablets announced/demoed at last year's CES, or am I mistaken? Maybe all the OEMs just rushed demo samples out without figuring out how they were actually going to produce them...

Do any PC vendors have anything even remotely comparable to the in-person support available at an Apple Store? Being able to take a device to the store and physically hand it off to be fixed without having to wait on the phone or deal with

With the failure of Linux netbooks, I don't think it'd do any better on tablets, ARM or x86.

I'd bet that some of the 3G iPad's $130 premium is also a concession to ATT for the contract-less data plan options.

I think making computing more accessible to thousands or millions of people is kinda impressive, and could foster the collaboration you're looking for.

They might be basic, but I think the stock iPhone apps are a long way from being shitty in the same sense as Sprint's bundled NASCAR app.

True. It would be nice to be freed from needing a piece-of-junk cable box in the equation. Or from needing a cable subscription, for that matter.

Does their integration strategy with non-Dish boxes still boil down to using an IR blaster?

Of the current non-chain solutions, the Gates belt system actually seems like a good idea for a commuter bike. Zero maintenance, long life, no grease, and quiet.

Oval chainrings (like Biopace, Rotor Q-Rings, etc.) are used by some pro cyclists. The oft-touted advantage for the system is the elimination of the "dead spot" at the top of the pedal stroke, but it still seems to very much be a case of pe

Sweet, get ready to sell chafing relief products in the terminal.

Does the openness of the spec even matter when effectively only one party can write and ship a usable plugin for it?

I wonder if there's a clean way they could hide/collapse the URL field to a minimal width on the left side of the tab bar, then automatically expand it on mouseover or selection. Agree that vertical size of the toolbar should be minimized,

How/where did you get $30/month internet? As soon as I ditched the TV part of the package from Comcast (and lost the BS 'bundle' discount), internet-only service went up to $60/month.

Target used to have an incredibly generous return policy as well, no receipt was no problem, and they'd take back things like dead plants that had no chance of being resold. Store credit is a helluva drug at stores with a wide array of good

Isn't the iPad/iPhone RAM integrated into the CPU/SoC package? Not quite as easy to increase the size of that while maintaining the same power consumption.

I change mine to "sent from phone" or something brand-neutral like that so any terse language or misspellings might be excused by the recipient.
