No Pringles can antenna suggestions yet? As I understand it the newer chipsets supporting 3x3 with the associated three antennas do about the best job without getting exotic with funky antennas.

It's going to make some great multifunction printers.

Everything iCloud was added in ios5. It made the devices computer free and now out of the box you get a welcome screen and screens setting things up. What you described was the experience 4.x and lower, yes that sucked. In theory you can move the iTunes library between machines on a portable...

I like the change.

I meant create the history here on this site in a thread.

I was thinking what purpose would it serve but you answered that. Does it need to be there? How about just creating a thread here?

Fun read http://gawker.com/5878862

Are PC sales really slowing? I was under the impression that they were steady. http://thesmallwave.com/apple-vs-pc-shipments-pc-decline-worse-than-r I guess HP looks about right after that confidence scare.

On the destroyed phone: with iCloud backup he shouldn't have lost anything at all. The entire phone configuration settings and info were all backed up, right down to what apps were installed and what settings were in them. All he should have had to do is get another handset (with ios5) and sign...

That thought has occurred to me before and showing my ignorance but on android is there one integrated audio player app that all the phones have? I sort of figured the answer was no and therefore a non starter for that sort of thing.

Nice, whatever gets more developers interested. http://www.bgr.com/2012/01/23/cydia-style-app-store-for-android-coming-soon/

True enough Merc.

That is interesting. I was thinking the hidden partition situation might suit as protection. Provide the wrong pass phrase and the contents are decrypted in a way where the real info is still hidden and other bogus contents are revealed. I had no idea they could for example force you to...

IMO my next tablet needs to be browser focused and a similar screen size to ipad only a higher resolution. There were things I hated about mobile safari before ios5 hit and now it is pretty good but still not up to the features available in say atomic browser or I think icab but I haven't tried...

I had an ipad 1 but I gave it to my mom over christmas to replace an aging laptop. No real report on the success but I got some emailed questions and sometimes before I answered I got an email that said ok found/fixed that. I don't think she adapted to typing well on the touch screen, got some...

I have a friend that has been using this for some time and really likes it.

This you?

My 32" TV at 1920x1080 IMO is just on the other side of the sweet spot but it is a way to go assuming your desk is deep enough to set it a little further than you can reach.

Amazon search is really pissing me off, makes me miss newegg as they really got that right.

The cowardly call. http://gawker.com/5876864/listen-to-italys-most-cowardly-captain-refuse-to-return-to-his-sinking-ship

I also don't like how they completely ignore disk access. If you aren't loading something via itunes you are working in a protected app sandbox that other apps can't see. It will take all your amazon music but you can't load it straight on the device, have to go through itunes. They really need...

I work for an amazing company. They're going to fly me out to a customer site to troubleshoot several workstations that won't display our web application correctly. We already know that the workstations in question work for a a while and when they are experiencing a problem they have other...

I don't mind a $6 dell keyboard very much but it only lasts like three months before the shift and control keys start sticking because they are wide and don't have the cross/swaybar support for an off center key press. They do start off mushy like any other membrane keyboard though.

I laughed.

I don't care what they're saying but I got rid of to VCRs and an old stereo very quickly on them.

I read somewhere there was a firmware update for the HP expander? Or a board revision to avoid? Something along those lines.

Not winfs. I don't know much about that level but it sounds like it isn't a big change, just a big improvement. They admit it won't be appropriate for DB servers too, that doesn't sound good.

Check into freecycle?

Two things here. The tip mentioned does nothing on my phone, as some replied. Second some people can't find the mute button and all the blackberries I have had do have a hard mute button. The mute button is on my list of crap we have to deal with recently. On some webinars we have an EXCESSIVE...

The rise and fall of personal computing Horace Dediu http://www.asymco.com/2012/01/17/the-rise-and-fall-of-personal-computing/ The last graph is really something.

Yes and even more interesting how it is produced, one company sells the design for the core and many people take it, put some custom things in it and produce it in various fabs. Intel isn't nearly as flexible as that. +1, thanks I will check into it.

Interesting point on "The President's challenge" http://radar.oreilly.com/2012/01/the-presidents-challenge.html

Oh and hats off to merc for finding the worst mobile site I've ever seen. Completely unresponsive for several seconds after loading? Notched scrolling? No navigation possible with forward and back buttons? It has it all.

I don't think you'll like reading on the iPad either. It's too big and heavy and the screen resolution isn't great for sharp text either. Give the stanza app a try though.

Never had a facebook account and it looks like I never will. I am happy when I google my real name and see nothing that is actually me at all, well for things I have control over anyway. Don't know how or if I should kill the LinkedIn thing. My maxburn identity was almost exclusively me for...

10 reasons why US is no longer the land of the free. As a side note the washington post requires a login after reading a page once so make sure you are done with it because you can't go back without cleaning your browser out. Also the intrusive adds in the article and on the sides with the...

Well at least they aren't locking down the PC versions, yet. I think that they are going to take their experience with the xbox, which I believe to be one of the most secure consumer systems out there, and translate that to their tablets. From a standpoint of subsidies / carrier mods and...

I think that's the point but it is a little to meta for me to be sure.

Yeah, especially as I like the speakerphone people on the other end heat it quite clearly. I get complimented on my typing speed though. I might do one of these next. http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards I don't like the sound of that as it sounds squishey but people...

The people that wanted it were expecting something a little more hardcore than a popcap game tourist experience.

And marketing, and unboxing experience with packing materials etc. I'm settling on the side of it just being odd and/or part of their culture. Not a negative. time, I don't care about those details, I'm talking about the experience at say five feet. I was thinking joint venture as they came...

More weird copying. http://dailymobile.se/2009/01/04/pictures-nokia-n96-vs-samsung-innov8-2/ Or is this one a joint venture?

I am still very glad I went prepaid. Even if I had to go on monthly to compensate for heavy usage pricing I don't think I would do a contract.

Yes that thought occurred to me with subsidies but it doesn't sound like only subsidized products, sounds like all. As a lesser note there are very few tablets that are subsidized. Also once they do it there whose to say they won't do it for desktop also? Just another step in locking down and...
