Amazon releases ad-supported Kindle (TUAW.com)

Apr 12th 2011 1:25AM HAHA! No, I don't hate books, and I don't hate the Kindle, I'm not even angry at it, I simply disagree with the silly price tag on it. My perception of its value is that it looks like a calculator that I once owned, is limited in its function, and so I perceive that it should be priced like said calculator.

Amazon releases ad-supported Kindle (TUAW.com)

Apr 11th 2011 11:29PM Honestly, this thing is a glorified calculator, I will never pay more than I payed in High School for a scientific calculator—$20, for an eInk reader. They make money on the books, that should be enough.

ColorSchemer Studio in the Mac App Store, and TUAW has free licenses! (TUAW.com)

Mar 21st 2011 2:53PM So which pantone is TUAW blue?

TinyGrab declines to sell subscriptions through the App Store (TUAW.com)

Feb 21st 2011 11:21PM I just wanted to say that I love Tinygrab, such a fantastic service, and it hasn't flaked out like Grabup did.

iOS 4.0 Gold Master SDK publicly released (TUAW.com)

Jun 21st 2010 4:26PM Is there any way to workaround to the installer's backup? It's bloody awful.

I've already got a backup, I don't need this idiotic installer to make another one. It's taking hours to move mere pixels along the progress bar.

Apple updates MobileMe (TUAW.com)

Jun 18th 2010 5:25PM I found the contact syncing absolutely horrible. Being a gmail user and a Mac user, my contact list bloated with replicates of my contacts. It was awful, I spent hours removing the damage and I'm still finding them synced to my other devices. They really need to learn to play better with other address books.

Electric cars can't stay silent forever, noise is coming soon (Autoblog Green)

May 23rd 2010 11:33PM It's just another case of the current combustion engine auto manufacturers feeling the heat for being completely unable to make their cars run silent. Though I'm told Rolls Royce manages to do this, so it was a luxury feature. Now it's not a feature, it's a fact, and one that would immeasurably improve urban environments. If EVs gain large market share, it'll be easy to spot the dinosaurs driving combustion. :)

Is Gulf of Mexico oil diasaster worse than we're being told? [w/video] (Autoblog Green)

May 21st 2010 12:36PM One thing that baffles me is that BP is allowed to clean this up at all. It's like a criminal being asked to clean up a crime scene. America should take charge of this, clean it up properly, without delay or the use of media-mitigating oil dispersants, and send BP the bill. I don't understand why BP should be allowed near the scene of this disaster caused by criminal negligence on their behalf.

Apple no-cash policy for iPad takes some by surprise (TUAW.com)

May 18th 2010 9:16PM You know what would have been really smart on the part of the Apple retail employee? To sell the customer a gift card for the exact amount of the iPad she wanted to buy and use that to purchase the iPad.

There's always a loophole, I don't blame Apple, I blame a stupid salesman/cashier.
