Exactly my point.

The Verge had an article in its forums that it promoted to the front page that discussed the privacy implications. The article concluded that many places are likely to ban them from their property.

Overall, LG did a good job designing and manufacturing the Nexus 4.

Then you missed a cogent argument:

"If you have a phone in your pocket, why wear this? And it doesn’t seem to replace the need to carry a phone."

No, I don't.

I've never understood the argument against bluetooth headsets. I live in a major city and see them all the time. I wouldn't wear one while sitting at a meal with someone, but neither do I see the sense in holding a phone to my head while walking or working with my hands when I can just as easily use a headset.

Unless I'm wrong, the big ASUS splashed across the back of my Nexus 7 seems to say that someone other than Google made the device.

I wish him much success. Its hard to keep a small business profitable.

Netbooks? How'd that work out for the industry?

Vibrating bracelets is an excellent idea, but I wonder if they would work for a really deep sleeper.

Back when I had a pager and was on call, I'd set it on top of a shallow pile of coins. The racket it would make and the sound of coins falling onto the (hardwood) floor was enough to wake the dead.

Your post smacks of sarcasm, but you really should submit this idea to Google for consideration.

I think they made at least one error: Need for Speed: Most Wanted was not developed by Rovio.

Also of interest is that none of the streaming radio services suffered in their rather proprietary ranking: http://support.verizonwireless.com/information/app_ranking/i...

It's a bit difficult to argue with his premise with the 'tech journalists of note' have made the argument for him.

I don't understand why, even in the face of justifications, it's wrong for Apple to admit they made a competitive mistake...and correct it.

It would be madness not to correct it.

I really get a kick out of these personal stories that pop up on HN. I'd never find them otherwise.

I came back to HN to post the exact same thing.

I think this goes to show that the tablet market that Apple is playing is both different and not as price sensitive as the one Google, Amazon, etc are playing in.

After January 1st, there will (probably) be sub-$300 "good as new" iPad minis available as refurbished devices in the Apple Store too...

Unless new (read: first purchase) customers start buying this thing in droves, I suspect he's dead wrong on his bet 'the iPad Mini will be the best-selling iPad from now on'. Most people who already have an iPad love the large screen, and won't 'downgrade'.

This sounds like a good idea, but won't get the traction it needs to be successful.
