Rafe Colburn:
What bothers me is that in terms of openness, the iPad is the same as the iPhone, but in terms of form factor, the iPad is essentially a general purpose computer. So it strikes me as a sort of Trojan horse that acculturates users to closed platforms as a viable alternative to open platforms, and not just when it comes to phones (which are closed pretty much across the board). The...

Tablet Predictions
Mark Stone commented on an Engadget post:
1) Apple will release a beautiful tablet with a UI that no other company would have ever thought of implementing, but they will leave out a vital feature that most geeks (but not regular folk) find invaluable, like the ability to play music with a bitrate of infinity squared.
2) As a result of this missing feature, the geeks will angrily dismiss anyone...
“Because the thing that everyone seems to be forgetting is: who really cares...”

Why do letters of the alphabet keep sending me emails? Today alone I have been contacted by an R, a C and an F, and earlier this week I received a joint communique from A, W and S. Signing off with your name, it seems, is a thing of the past. A growing number of emailers are switching to initials, and the single initial in particular.
No, people are not doing it because it is practical; they are...
“Capacity won’t be an issue. The network is ready.”
