Google Hotpot finally (and fully) merged into Places (Download Squad)

Apr 8th 2011 7:27PM I don't understand the hate for the name hotpot, it was a perfect name for the service offered really.

In china, a hotpot is a meal where you gather a whole bunch of your friends together to share a meal cooked in a boiling pot at the table. Meats and vegetables are placed in by everyone and you can sit and talk for hours on end while you eat.

Isnt that all google hotpot did? It enabled you to discuss food with your closest google contacts.

Google Books app feels rushed, disappoints (TUAW.com)

Dec 6th 2010 5:31PM In your rush to review, its a shame you didn't let the book finish loading before you flipped through it. I don't see very many loading screens at all.

Typical biased reviewing.

Which one is growing faster?

Aug 12th 2010 9:33PM A phone sold is a phone sold. A 'bundled' phone still was paid for somewhere. Maybe it isn't right at the moment paid for, but like any subsidized phone purchase, it's made up for in the service fees.

I fail to see how a 'buy one get one' phone deal wouldn't count as a real sale. You're reaching.

Apple admits mistake over pulling of graphic novel (TUAW.com)

Jun 16th 2010 9:43PM That's all fine and dandy but when you develop for the iPhone/iProduct you first spend $100 on the development rights, and spend all that time on one platform... then they tell you it's rejected.
