Comment on Google Videos coming to Android phones any day now? by adam

Android apps are free for a reason. Android is great if you want to have a red ball for a 'live wallpaper' or enjoy playing a tic Tac toe game that was created over 2 days by three koreans intent on learning your GPS position and personal phone number.

Comment on Are You Ready for the New Peer-to-Peer Economy? by Adam

There are two ideas here and they make an unusual hybrid. While p2p via the likes of Square sounds good, it still leaves digital records and needs digital means to make or accept payment. There's still a middleman (the credit card companies and/or banks). Take the example of email. We've come to believe that if I send my mother an email, that the email is between her and I. It is not, though. The email is to Google (I use Gmail) and Google happens to pass it along to my mother. In much the same way, p2p transactions will work. I think it's between me and Joe the Artist but the payment just happens to get passed along to him. Trade and barter is quite different.

Comment on So You Got an iPad, Now What? by Adam

If you are just starting out with iPad I would definitely check out the typing trainer app TapTyping. It really helps you get the most out of your device. Some peeople have reawched typing speeds of 110+ words per minute: impressive for a virtual keyboard!

Does it even matter that what Verizon is calling 4G isn't 4G?

Comment on The Web Worker’s Advantage, Part 2: Flexibility (and the Freedom to Wear Pajamas) by Adam Bluhm

I agree that flexibility is one of the major perks. For example, yesterday morning I had a major headache and just could not concentrate as much as I wanted so I decided to take an early and long lunch break. Instead of forcing myself to work when I was less than productive, I was able to take that time to relax and then work some extra time in the evening. I appreciate the "give and take".
