Good idea. Apple can spare it. It now has $178 billion in reserves.

Always, the accusation of "comprehensive spying," which is impossible, and we must not be in perpetual surveillance, first amendment and such-- but then the "whistleblower" reports vital spying on other people as well. We should give up spying, it s…

Well, support for the Russian takeover of Ukraine fell from 73% to 24%, or thereabouts. None of these dire things need happen. All he has to do is back off Ukraine, which is an independent country and has the right to govern itself as it sees fi…

It is torture. We defined it that way in an International Treaty, which was passed by the US Senate and signed by President Reagan. Yes. Reagan. Guess he wasn't conservative enough for you.

Congratulations on the waterboarding and sleep deprivation of prisoners! You agree with Comrade Stalin! What's that crazy civil liberties stuff all about, anyway? After all, very few people got into East Germany! Many of them were killed whi…

All because the head of REAL thought he could make a deal with Apple over sharing DRM. Apple wanted to get out of DRM in music altogether. There was no deal to offer. But real went ahead anyway. Anything to get into those iPods of the mid-oughties.

The first "scandal" was that kids could find a way to disable the stupid limits put on the iPad, so that they could go home and do some web surfing-- to PLACES NOT APPROVED in their lesson plans! Oh, my God! I'd have given them a good score for inge…

Hey, there, Cydia fans: want to eavesdrop on a girlfriend? Just get Stealth Genie! Want to learn all his passwords? Stealth Genie! I like the stylish video, with the music, the animation, and the semi-pro narration.

One of the inexplicable things to me is the anti-unionism among technologists. You know, someday the billionaires won't like you, and then you'll be screwed and have nowhere to go.

Depending on the speed of your Internet to get get some 4K on Netflix. And Vizio has a 50" 4K for $999. Opinions differ about its quality, but go into any Costco and there's 4K Samsungs. Okay, even if they don't have content, they can scale up you…

I think he wants them to sell weed. Maybe someday...

I've never heard Siri sound that robot-like. And what she does I find very useful, and I've gotten to figure out how to get the right answers. It's great to dictate posts and e-mails. Oh, Cortana will tell you when there's a traffic slowdown? Wel…

NO, eightzero, you need an Intel processor, and something that can run Intel code, and it has to look the same as the desktop. So it won't be, uh, confusing, because the iPad is SO confusing. It's different!

I stay away from the Americana Mall. Hideous location, the worst of the Mall Rat Architecture, bringing expensive goods to YOU the American people in a ludicrous imitation of Old-Time America, when we were pretty cool, not the Mall Rat Nation. The…

I am on the beta list, and I got the 10.10.1 update. I've never had a moment's trouble with my setup, so I still don't have it. I've had to hunt out for the things -- I suspect old software -- that make my iMac (early 2008) seize up after a day r…

I think this is inevitable, once you've put your effective interest rates at zero. It's Europe's problem, and ours, that we're relying on budget cutting and austerity. That's appropriate for inflation, not something right on the brink of deflation. …

No one can look at the Russian reaction, or the Saudi reaction, and think it is not a crippling mental disease to make a big deal of how a man or woman wants to live his private life. The Russian Orthodox Church has some very primitive ideas, and in…

I think it's great that Google is doing all this research, but Larry has ADD for sure. Glass? You all like your $1500 beta Glass? I'd love a Google car. When will they be for sale? Betcha never. Oh, and Wallet, yes, Google was the first to have a pa…
