It is not too late to stop this and even if it goes through it will be possible to reverse it. We need to fight for this. Contact your congressman immediately. And, if you are able to drop your terrestrial land lines in favor of cellular Internet…

This database remains very unlikely to be created. But if it does then every loyal American reading this post should register for it. I certainly will. Muslim American are Americans and we need to defend our fellow Americans, through the dilutio…

The slabs are a common sight on the backs of flatbed trucks on the 680 South.

As an Apple shareholder, I'm glad to see the strong release quarter sales. But the real issue is how good a product the Apple Watch turns out to be in the wild, not least because it will determine how well the product sells in outlying quarters. I…

Check out a company called Simbol Materials. They are extracting lithium from hydrothermal wells where they are otherwise an environmental contaminant. They're based in Pleasanton, CA but they have a pilot plant near the Salton Sea in inland Souther…

Nearly the same thing happened to me on my 5S but the outcome was total different. I got this strange BSOD and had to do a factory wipe/restore. The process was automatic and took about an hour. I got all my apps back in their original folders, all …

Obviously they are trying to achieve synchronicity between the iCloud and off-line applications. It would be impractical to implement the floating inspector in iCloud and they decided, correctly, that the choice of a single interface was advantageou…

I live in the United States but I spent a few months working in Basel, Switzerland. What I found was that with the smaller countries in Europe you spend a lot of time roaming and your data plan doesn't typically work when you do. My iPhone is wond…

This issue made me angry enough that I decided to do something about it. The president has convened a panel to make recommendations on patent law reform and I'm petitioning them to get a specific item added to their proposal. If we get enough signat…

While I'm sure that I couldn't do any better, I sincerely hope that Steve Balmer replaces himself in that reorganization as well. Like a lot of people, I occasionally have to use Microsoft products and really wish that they were better designed and …

This seems ripe for anti-trust litigation. The only reason that the cable providers are able to prevent HBO from selling to me directly is their position as a monopoly. There is a historical precedent for this in POTS in the 1980s.

The good thing is that it is now on the record that Peter Misek believes that Apple will have less cash in 24 months than it does today. This is quantifiable and we can use it to evaluate the his predictive accuracy.

Am I the only person who likes the new Maps app? It fixes a few of my pet peeves including the fact that the old app's route highlighter blocked the traffic. I've found it to be accurate every time I've tried to use it and it's much faster on my 3G …

Dare I weigh in on this flame war? I've never purchased a fully loaded computer before and I almost never buy the latest version of anything--I usually shoot for version X.2. But I did order the absolutely fully loaded MacBook Pro. It wasn't…

I do know something about this. Fuel cells produce essentially no particulate pollution whereas gas turbines do produce some (although gas turbines are far cleaner today than they were in the past). In terms of social costs, even though it is mor…

Is anyone reading this sufficiently "in-the-know" to post a reasonable primer on these nano-SIMS, the standardization process, the competing designs and what's really going on here? A link to an understandable article would do just as well. Thank…

The business model will be the least innovative aspect of the product. I guarantee that there will be innovative features that will seem completely obvious in retrospect. If I were designing the Apple TV, there would be: A camera on the TV. This …

As a security hole that can be exploited by private hackers, I'd find it scary but the ability of a government to search or eavesdrop is not new and is, in fact, codified into the U.S. constitution. Assuming that there is any truth to his claim what…
