Gunderson is a well-known anti-nuclear power fearmonger. If that's your source, then of course nuclear will seem scary. My grandfather studied TMI for the EPA and the supposed elevated cancer rates are clearly a result of bad data. The literature…

1) I don't view nuclear as dirty. Even Fukushima hasn't killed anyone or really damaged the environment. There may be other arguments against nuclear, but environmentalism is, in my mind, an argument *for* nuclear power. 2)Locating places with l…

Menno, I'd be interested in reading the sites where you're seeing the Xoom get 'approximately' the same battery life as the iPad - the tests I've seen have indicated the iPad 2 gets 30-50% more life out of a battery (cnet, Mossberg, Consumer Reports…

I think Epic has benefitted pretty handsomely from Apple featuring their games, so they're probably not really unbiased. I'm not saying there's any kind of quid pro quo going on - the Epic games are clearly head and shoulders above the mass of game…

These network effects will just continue to grow, to Apple's benefit. I think RIM has already entered an inexorable (if slow) decline, and hasn't realized it yet. The same sort of thing will probably become too high a hurdle for WP7+, but there's …
