Take out a few 9's out and Google still returned an error: http://www.google.com/search?q=9999999..999999

Making an argument for argument sake. Anyone with big erasers are always tempted to change history.

What is the purpose of the post other than conveying the author's (for lack of better word) dislike of Apple?

Personally I have seen tons of spammy referral links from .co.cc domain. Well, the pretends to be "linking" to my article/post but the content of their referring page are complete junk that has nothing to do with the linked posts.

I am pretty sure the payment made to Associates Program is classified by Amazon as "advertising fee". I'm not sure how it would hold up against any accounting audits by IRS, for example. Amazon do send 1099-MISC to Associates Program member.

I used to have one, then I deleted it.

Sure, my password is: password

Sensationalistic headline. In addition to that, take what Ed Bott is saying with a boulder of salt. After all Bott makes his living covering Microsoft.

Someone made something like this a few weeks back based on the IE6 Countdown. Screen grab: http://37prime.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/iecountdo...

From CNET:

Blaze backed away from its conclusion in light of the new data. Chief Technology Officer Guy Podjarny told CNET in a statement: This test leveraged the embedded browser which is the only available option for iPhone applications. Blaze was under the assumption that Apple would apply the same updates to their embedded browser as they would their regular browser. If this is not the case and according to Apple's response, it's certainly possible the embedded browser might produce different results. If Apple decides to apply their optimizations across their embedded browser as well, then we would be more than willing to create a new report with the new performance results.

It is pure speculations. Anyone can make semi-educated guess of what Apple would do with the next iPhone.

Antenna redesign? If Apple wanted to make a hybrid GSM+CDMA iPhone, then the antenna has to be redesigned.

Aluminum backing? Instead of the glass back-plate in iPhone 4, Apple could replace it with Aluminum one. There's a replacement Aluminum back-plate for iPhone 4, sold by third party.

The irony is that it would be easier to solve the captcha using programs like Mathematica.

Define "hacking" and "project" please. Well, I'm doing something with PHP and CSS. Does it count?

Which was actually an Apple Event in disguise. Gizmodo, Ryan Block and Leo Laporte were not invited.

But Grubber was not invited to the Verizon iPhone announcement. https://twitter.com/gruber/status/24937327675580416

Doesn't the Ars Technica headline sounds too sensationalistic?

I'd like to be the guy from The Neutral Planet and sit this one out until it sorts itself out.

The movie "Social Network" is a Fiction inspired by real life event. The story itself was re-created from pieces of one sided stories and some publicly available records.

The movie would be really boring if it were following the real life story. Aaron Sorkin is making it into a movie, not a re-enactment.

During the productions, many of the crews were laughing when they heard Justin Timberlake was cast as Sean Parker. Especially for those who know of Sean Parker based on their research and personal knowledge. David Fincher is really particular about making this movie, because it is his passion.

Consider "The Social Network" as a movie inspired but not based on true event.

Those are not carrier specific apps. The reason why they are there because there were no installable apps at that time. I do not need to sign in to any services or accounts to use those apps.

Amazon MP3, Facebook apps are tied to some services that requires user accounts.

One pre-installed app on iOS that fit the category is YouTube App.

Twitter was pre-installed on Nexus One? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing it out of the Box.

As for as default Facebook installation and integration is a bad idea. I really hate that.

As a consumer I'm glad that Apple would not let Verizon pre-load their crapware on the iPhone. If only other manufacturers could do the same. Unfortunately they are not in the same position with Apple. As a matter of fact, Apple will not Verizon the iPhone if they do not agree to that.

I love using the Nexus One with its pure Google-Android experience. I have yet to upgrade to Nexus S.

Finally, Skype-Verizon exclusivity is over. It was really annoying how Verizon dictates the availability.

As of September 11, 2010 Flash is still horrible on My Nexus One. Sure I can casually watch a South Park episode, but the Nexus One heats up like an original MacBook Pro.

Now I rarely enabled Flash on it.

Until the day when Flash is running without taxing the hardware and battery life, I am using it next to none.

Sensationalistic headline from EFF. Then again, they need to raise some awareness, even though I am not always siding with them. I still do support the EFF.

"ditching" is a strong word. Apple has always been rotating between GPU vendor.

George Lucas wants to talk to NMANews, how dare they infringing on his idea.

NMA News and HTC are both Taiwan-based.

The script of this movie embellishes even more than the book itself. David Fincher was given a sweet deal by Sony if he directed "The Social Network" even though he could care less for it.

The Set Design and Props department for this movie are the best in the business, but they're getting no help from Sony when it comes to anything that is not Sony branded. No other companies are allowed to make endorsements to this movie. Yes there were a lot of Apple and Dell products in this movie; not sure if they're going to make prominent appearance though.

Do I need tin-foil hat or should I call this a hit-piece on Apple?

Just like XBox business, Bing is also another loss leader for Microsoft. Obviously Microsoft would do anything to get market share since they have a gigantor war-chest. A year later with all the cheers from its usual supporters, Bing managed to get "some" increase on traffic. Well, I wonder how much of those are directly coming from Facebook search which Microsoft has a lot of stake in.

Still no IMAP for Hotmail, that's a deal breaker for many who cares.

The option is available if you "clean-installed" the iPhone to iPhone OS 4 beta 4. Once you restore from backup, this option to tether disappeared.

It still has "HTC" logo on it regardless of the models.
