37prime··on Apple Stock Just Crashed To A New Low
Henry Blodget is a well known known for being an Apple Troll. It seems this guy have a personal vendetta against Apple. The "issues" with Apple he listed and the explanations are full of the same unsubstantiated rumors that have been regurtitated by the incestuous tech journalists and analysts.
37prime··on The Chromebook Pixel
I still can't get over the price tag for a Chromebook regardless of the specs.

Yet another reason to abandon Facebook. It is getting creepy and creepier.
37prime··on Apple is done, say teens
Don't want to sound like a dick or nothing, according to this article CNET has no credibility at all.
37prime··on Why Apple Got a "Made in U.S.A." Bug
The post losts all credibility as soon as the quote from Rob Enderle showed up.
37prime··on Dear Apple, I’m leaving you
Dear BusinessInsider, I'm tired of your whining.

Unfortunately Amazon is quoting Gizmodo. That's like quoting Carlos Mencia on comedy.
37prime··on As usual, it’s OK if you’re Apple
It sounds like Rush Limbaugh complaining about some Democrats. I meant it goes both ways.

Edd Bott to Microsoft is like MG Siegler to Apple.

So, why give these Elitists any attentions at all?

37prime··on Samsung might not have tried to copy the iPhone
CNET might not have tried hiring intelligent writers.
37prime··on Steve Wozniak gives jailbreaking the thumbs up, wishes iTunes supported Android
I believe Monique Farantzos and Jon Lech Johansen is working hard to bring iTunes and Android together.
37prime··on Dear Apple: Deleting your users’ apps without notification is rude and arrogant
About the removal of YouTube app from iOS 6

1. This is already reported during the beta days. NDA being only a 3 capital letters and all.

2. Google submitted YouTube app to iTunes App Store, and it was released on September 11th, 2012.

3. John Koetsier, a writer for VentureBeat that also consulted on technology, social media, and marketing for many years; apparently was either living under a rock since September 11th, 2012 or just whoring for page hit.

4. Did I mention page hit whoring?

37prime··on Steve Wozniak gives jailbreaking the thumbs up, wishes iTunes supported Android
Since music tracks from iTunes are DRM free, they can be played in any Android devices.
37prime··on Old Maps vs. New Maps
Isn't that ironic that you formed an opinion about an article that you didn't read?
37prime··on Without radical change in patent law, Android's ecosystem will die
Sounds like the writer is ok if Samsung won the trial. Bad article from a bad writer.
37prime··on Apple will no longer license aftermarket power adapters for iPhone 5
It is still a rumor. Yet some people are riled up.

Take your pitchforks and torches when it's confirmed, but not now.

Triangular Tablets?

Two Words: Dunder Mifflin

squareup.com is still up.

Edit: Apparently it was a cached page in my browser.

Square.com is now using squareup.com SSL certificate.

Does this mean Square, Inc. already acquired square.com?

Edit 2:

square.com automatically redirects to square.com

whois info still says that square.com owned by Square Enix.

37prime··on Space isn't ours.
The last time I checked, in about 1000 years Mars would be pretty much owned by Leo and Inez Wong.
37prime··on There's no such thing as Android, only Android-compatible
A lot of people expecting about 3-year life cycle of a smartphone now.

They'd buy one under contract and upgrade to a new on within 18-24 months. The old smartphone then given to a family member. It is a lot more common than the tech crowd.

So having manufacturers updating the phone for at least 3 years would really help a lot.

37prime··on Bye Daddy: Search who hasn't fled GoDaddy yet
I have one domain still registered under Go Daddy. It was originally registered through Google Apps, which at that time only offered Go Daddy as their "partner" Domain Registrar.

Currently Google offer eNom, inc. as the alternative to Go Daddy, which I'm not too fond of.

I'd like to move this one domain to another registrar without causing troubles to my Google App service.

37prime··on Apple Approves Tethering App For the iPhone
That's because T-Mobile allows it. I mentioned specifically Verizon and AT&T for locking the features. I'm not sure how Sprint deals with the whole tethering.

As far as we know T-Mobile is a lot more "customer friendly" since they're running 4th out of the big 4 Wireless provider in the US.

37prime··on Apple Approves Tethering App For the iPhone
Let's see. Android phones with unrestricted Tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot are Nexus One, Nexus S and presumably Galaxy Nexus.

Tethering on any Droid phones are encumbered by Verizon. You have to pay the tethering plan to have this feature enabled. The same goes AT&T Android phones with "crippled" tethering capabilities.

iPhone supported carrier-sanctioned tethering pre-iOS 4 (iOS 3.x in 2010), just not in the US with AT&T. Different carriers handle it differently.

37prime··on Adobe ceases development on mobile browser Flash, refocuses efforts on HTML5
My colleague will be meeting one of Adobe Senior VP's in a few weeks. For sure I'll send him a few questions to ask. A lot about HTML5.
37prime··on Tumblr or Wordpress?
easp got that right.

You can have free (insertsomethinghere).WordPress.com blog. Then you can upgrade for custom domain, increased storage, VideoPress, custom theme/design, etc. for a fee-per-service.

37prime··on Tumblr or Wordpress?
There's self-install WordPress.org and hosted WordPress.com. I am not aware of self-install Tumblr blog.

The post is comparing Tumblr with self-install WordPress.org.

About hosting: Replace Tumblr with WordPress.com

When you use WordPress.com, you don’t have to worry about hosting. They take care of it.

Edit: OS X Lion sometimes auto-corrects Tumblr with Tumbler.

37prime··on Google says Nexus One too old for Android 4.0
Nexus One was released in January 2010. Too soon to be "retired" after only 2 years.

Nexus One was seriously "flawed" for having only 512MB of internal storage. I had to uninstall tons of applications just to update the built in ones.

37prime··on Apple Reports Q4 Results, $108B in annual revenue, $26B in earnings
Anything Apple does these days always disappoint analysts. Well, most analysts are overpaid for what they do anyway.

Financial Analysts has been underestimating Apple since 2004. This time they're pumping up the expectations.

Overall it is still a spectacular Quarter for Apple.

37prime··on Apple Q4 earnings fall short of expectations
Expectations from analysts who are mostly wrong.

So that means Apple is Doomed?

Probably not.

37prime··on Unanswered Steve Jobs questions
That was the teaching in Buddhism and Steve Jobs was a devout Buddhist. It is likely that Steve Jobs was a closet philanthropist.
37prime··on Apple's garden wall is cracking
ZDNet is known for writing hit-pieces on Apple. ZDNet has not been relevant for a long time.
