Lion creates a recovery partition that allows you to boot up and re-download Lion from your App Store account. Post-Lion Macs also have this built directly into the firmware. "Recovery Disk Assistant" essentially copies your existing recovery part…

It's quite possible that Google spins off and sells the manufacturing business and keeps only the intellectual properties. Carl Icahn was pushing for MM to do this sort of split prior to the Google bid. SNL Kagan is forecasting long-term decline…

I wouldn't call it "unseating Apple TV", I'd call it potentially moving this who-cares product category into the mainstream. Instead of being threatened by Internet TV, cable co's could enter into revenue sharing agreements (both ads and content)…

So if you're left-leaning, shouldn't the obvious conclusion from this article be that Apple needs to pay more taxes?

Yes, it's less convenient purchasing subscriptions and books via the browser. Yes, it's annoying having dozens of different apps for magazines and books. But to me, it's not worth paying an extra 30% just for the convenience of having this strea…

Let's see. Carriers pay about $200 less for an Android device versus iPhone and average over $2400 revenue during the contract of the device. I'm not sure how another $5 per Android device spells disaster for everyone but Apple.

I'd rather have Apple focused on preventing piracy in general, versus wasting too much time on Game Center. Someone wouldn't pay $0.99 for your app, but they would pay $0.99 if they were forced to in order to use your game with the Game Center lead…

If you fix the misplaced modifiers in this article, it should read that there were fewer Android new product starts that included Flurry Analytics. Since Flurry is used in less than 15% of apps in both app stores combined, it seems a bit of a stret…

Skype lost $7m on $860m in revenues. The talk of Skype being a money-losing company, while technically true, seems highly exaggerated. Mix in some of Microsoft's excess infrastructure and Bing's existing ad engine, and even the biggest moron at Mi…

Honeycomb is half-baked and not ready for production. Which definition of "open" means you release source code while you're still writing it? The article makes it clear that Google will be releasing the code to allow anyone to modify freely, but…

I'd settle for a blinking LED for missed mail/messages/calls...

Camera+ is a great program with lots of functionality. For most users, the effects add-on is like buying an extra 5% of functionality for an additional 100% of cost. It's just not worth buying for most people, especially when the effects are diffi…

Seems funny that for all the developer worry, fragmentation doesn't seem to have negatively effected the end Android user to any large scale.

What's next, JuiceDonalds? Sad that Apple is picking on a company that makes quality versions of accessories that Apple should be making but refuses to (extended batteries, car charger/adapters, etc). I can understand going after the guys tha…

I think "cultural incompatibility" is short for "made us look bad in public."
