When first B&N ebook reader was launched, I laughed, I humiliated them. Kindle was the only device that made, created inner-environment for ebook market. The markets, ebook markets were spontaneously created and disappeared, and my prediction was that Nook will be one of them. From my point of view, Kindle would have been part of “good old days,” if they have failed to keep the price down to 100 to

It’s not huge surprise that Pentagon is actually interested in cyber weapon. -R Reuters | Ex-U.S. general urges frank talk on cyber weapons The United States should be more open about its development of offensive cyber weapons and spell out when it will use them as it grapples with an increasing barrage of attacks by foreign hackers, the former No. 2 uniformed officer in the U.S. military said.

I hope this intrigued some people, because it didn’t do that for me. Interesting stories, but who cares about privacy on facebook? I mean seriously, does the author not understand the consequences of telling “REAL AGE” on facebook? -R Forbes | The Unintended Consequences of Well-Intentioned Privacy Regulation No matter how well-intentioned, regulation often has unintended consequences. A case in point is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), a law that mandates certain online privacy protections for children under the age of 13.

An exhaustive treatment of all of Apple’s patents is beyond the scope of this article. However, to give the investors a glimpse of Apple’s fire power, listed below are the summaries of some of the important Apple patents related to the touch screen.

I truly don’t understand about emergency rooms in hospital, -though I somehow managed to stay there quite frequently- but I understand the point his making. iPad has been great deal in the market in 2 reasons: it’s not so expansive, and it is damn expansive. Contradictions? Not really. Apple is making off some moneys from this device, and yet all the hardwares and softwares are not really market leader. It had been a market leader for couples of months before Android rose from nowhere. But the reason why iPad is getting so much boast is, actually because the other devices…

Now AT&T and T-Mobile will be merged, will Verizon acquire Sprint? -R Reuters | UPDATE 2-Judge allows Sprint suit against AT&T/T-Mobile deal Sprint had also argued that the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile would hurt the market for backhaul services, links between the core network and more remote locations. Huvelle said that Sprint’s theory was not sufficiently supported. Wayne Watts, AT&T Senior Executive VP and General Counsel, said the ruling dismissed “the vast majority of the claims” from Sprint and CellSouth. “We believe the limited, minor claims they have left are entirely without merit,” he said in an emailed statement.

New York Times | After a Kidnapping, Hackers Take On a Ruthless Mexican Crime Syndicate The hackers’ message, delivered via YouTube by a man wearing a red tie and a Guy Fawkes mask, was as bold and risky as anything produced by the Zetas, Mexico’s most ruthless crime syndicate. But this time, the Zetas were the target.

Analysts are now predicting Siri will be 3rd Apple big-hits. iPhone and iPad kicked analysts’ a**, and some of them actually lost their job after publishing “end of Apple empire” 2 times. Now they are having some smart moves, saying “iPhone 4S may sucks, but Siri doesn’t.” Truly Siri is interesting service. Most of companies still owns customer service w/ machines, and they barely understand words. Many developers and manufacturers came up with voice recognition UI, but failed to impress buyers. Now Apple came up with one, saying “this works.” And analysts are saying, “good stuff.” Really? An idea that…

For years, actually for centuries, many conservaties, whom are known as old-timers, claimed new culture and technology is ruining the language. Not only language they claim, but also body and mind of one. Such as graphic novels, video games, even facebook and twitter -these two have been added to list recently-. Unfortunately, many studies have done suggesting those kind of new experiences rather enhance and nourish overall quality of experience, and furthermore education of one. And here goes 2nd shot: does Twitter ruin English? Turns out “NO”. -R Forbes | No, Twitter Isn’t Ruining the English Language The result? The mean…

The Loop (Jim Darlymple) = “Steve Jobs was right, Flash fails on Android” Many people have been giving Adobe the equivalent of “put up or shut up,” when it comes to the debate over Flash on a mobile device. The company shipped mobile Flash on Android and the first results are in — Fail. Writing for Laptop magazine, Avram Piltch tried Flash on the new Droid 2 using Android 2.2. Piltch’s first reaction to the technology was telling. “I’m sad to admit that Steve Jobs was right. Adobe’s offering seems like it’s too little, too late.” Read rest of the…

Now I’ll give you two option, before start yelling at me, “You arrogant son of b****”, first you can say something like what I presented as an example, or second you can keep reading and say, “I pitty you.” I am not usual offline buyer, which means, I always keep myself not to be at offline; price and taxes are just bloody in offline anyway. There could be a lot of argument against and for for the actual shopping, rather than just buy what you want in the online. Since online doesn’t provide full support-questions you want to ask, etc.-,…

Let me be me, sarcastic and cynical as possible as I can in my place. Now I feel so much pathetic about RapidWeaver and iPhone 3G. Sorry RealMacSoftware and Apple. But I am enough of this. Since 2009, I have been using RapidWeaver and iPhone 3G as my primary application and geek. I was already aware of danger of using RapidWeaver, since I could find a lot of, A LOT OF claims that RapidWeaver randomly generates and reproduces codes inside the article so that it makes the article to load very, VERY SLOWLY. Which it took me about half an hour…
