What? Angry Birds doesn't have esoteric, non-intuitive gestures. You drag the bird in a slingshot and let go. Tiny Wings only tells you to touch the screen, which is the kind of non-intrusive hint described in the…
You're portraying an alternate reality in which Android tablets were a smashing success, and everyone is using a stylus. This is clearly not the case, and the iPad mini is going to be a huge seller. You have a comment…
Not at all. He thinks his personal barometer of what makes a post "useful" is an absolute that everyone else must adhere to. Nothing in the post he's reacting to was agenda-driven beyond being a personal opinion--which…
Good for him. Notch has earned a well-deserved break. If you've followed Minecraft development for any period of time, you'd know he takes breaks quite often, much to the amusing frustration of fans. His disinterest in…
I hope entrepreneurs don't start confusing accountability with narcissism because of Steve Jobs. You don't have to be a rude, difficult, bully to get things right. Not only would Steve tell people that their work…
Steve Jobs wasn't the designer of the iPhone. Other people made it while he cracked the whip. For some reason, a lot of the press is giving him credit for everything at Apple in spite of his infamous reputation for…
Well, the beard, and other quirks, sort of symbolize how socially off and out-of-touch with normal people Stallman and others like him actually are. It doesn't automatically refute arguments he makes, but it does paint…
Equating the iPhone to a "jail" is goofy political hyperbole. Normal people don't even view software in that context. It's just a piece of hardware and software they choose to use or not use. Stallman represents the…
The mobile world is still in its infancy, regardless of how many years ago Microsoft was working on it. No offense, but you come off as far too emotional to take seriously in a discussion. You start with some valid…
It's like when Google calls Android "open" but then withholds the source from non-privileged partners.
Complaining about huge bids that are more than what these bogus patents are worth is pretty hypocritical if you yourself bid over $3 billion for them. I think Google is whining because they didn't win, and they know…
God, I can't wait for this era of wannabe yuppies to end, yuppies reading about launching startups and talking about startups and thinking about everything in terms of startups. It's got to be the most boring tech news…
Maybe because Google constantly markets itself on its use of open standards.
Oh, okay, so that makes it okay for the site to be Chrome-only despite Google's constant proselytizing over "openness."
You only think it's "useless" because it bashes Google, obviously a company you like. You ask what Google's incentive is to build the site if they can't make people download Chrome to use it, which is a bizarre question…
What? Tibbon's post doesn't disprove anything. It just asks if Wave or Buzz achieved that many users so quickly, and the answer is yes--Buzz had millions of users after two days according to Google:…
But did Google Wave or Buzz take off that fast? Yes, in two days, Buzz had millions of users according to Google: http://tinyurl.com/3gsve3q I think Google+ is way overhyped. It's currently riding a novelty factor among…
That's incorrect. You can read the ruling for yourself: http://www.copiepresse.be/pdf/Copiepresse%20-%20ruling%20app... The decision was pertaining to the use of lead paragraphs and other excerpts from copyrighted…
The lawsuit was over the use of lead paragraphs and other article excerpts, specifically in the Google News aggregator, not plain links in the general search engine.
Again, the lawsuit was over Google News' display of lead paragraphs and other excerpts from articles. It didn't pertain to the general search engine.
The newspapers went to court asking for broad relief (unlisting from google results) They went to court over Google News copying excerpts from their articles, such as the lead paragraphs, and displaying them in the…
