I've been hearing about the video, but I'd never seen it.

I just looked it up.

It's not bad at all. It's entirely pedestrian. I don't see any difference between this and, say, a Bieber track, except production values.

It appears the book glossed over what actually happened. Jobs worked with a number of alternative medicine con artists, to no result, obviously. Obsessing doesn't work when the methodology is wrong, and alternative medicine is the wrong methodology for treating serious medical problems.

He didn't ignore it, he wasted that year on alternative medicine voodoo. This detail may not have made it to the Isaacson book, I didn't read it.

So Jobs loved to micromanage. And it worked at Apple and at NeXT and at Apple, because Jobs knew a thing or two about software. But micromanaging your own cancer care doesn't work so well, does it now?

There was a lot of speculation as to the reasons for Sinofsky's departure a few months back. For me, at least, this item provides a likely explanation from someone who was in a position to know.

Everyone in a public area voluntarily exposes themselves to the public. Your images in public spaces are legal to record. If you disagree, try suing a security camera operator.

It's probably cheaper to pay a PhD candidate to create realistic visuals than to pay a graphic designer to create bombastic claptrap.

I'm talking about full ARM systems -- the exact same product category for the exact same target demographic.

More than half of the 17 are free.

I could spend a little more time searching for a list of exclusively free habit forming tools (or prepare one) but that's not necessary to prove my point.

My point is that free alternatives exist.

Yes it is. It's how journalism works -- including paparazzi journalism.

Mainly lower hardware requirements.

In the third world, price is a bigger concern than ecosystem. People will buy the cheapest phone that offers some smartphone features. Right now, this product selection is limited to Bada and the lowest-end Android phones. Nobody else caters to this market.

It's perfectly legal. Anything that's in public is part of the public record.

Women are selling contact from their own authentic profiles.

If you claim that this is misogynistic, you are claiming that women hate themselves.

Anyone who's nerdy enough to need a fake girlfriend is nerdy enough to know how to create and populate a fake profile quickly.

Uh, this is really stupid. You can do this exact same thing for any activity for free with joesgoals.com or any of the tens of other freely available "don't break the chain" web apps.

This is a non-starter. You can get much more powerful machines for cheaper.

He's against irresponsible drinking to the point where it will cause harm to oneself and others, but for responsible drinking to the degree that it will confer benefits.

I don't see a fallacy here.

Great observation! Women are often offended by accurate characterizations of their behavior.

They're most likely talking about the article's own comment thread, as opposed to discussion across the web.

You can install Android on an x86 desktop now and even run binary ARM Android apps on it.

It is a slightly embellished (but based on his real life) narrative of him coming back from a vacation in Europe, dealing with some sort of stomach flu for about a week, getting fired from Reddit, and getting all emo about it.

No, just sensible.

Being sensible about things like death provokes nervous laughter from most people, which they then mistakenly attribute to humor.

> The answer is not "because it has a developer switch on the back to install Ubuntu"; you can do that on a Windows PC as well.

Not for $249 and not on ARM.

So-called confession sites have existed since the late 90s.

Here comes a copycat with a novel (painfully forced) metaphor to make the old seem new again..

TL;DR: Despite all the technical solutions in place to address the problem, spammers still make a lot of money, so Facebook now wants its cut.
