Comment on iOS 5 Wish List by MisterK
I agree with some of these (especially wireless sync), but I don't know if they will ever change the lock screen much. I understand some people wanting it, but isn't the point of a lock screen so strangers CAN'T look at your appointments and mail? It's the gate that stops strangers from getting at your private information (hence the "lock"). Granted, I don't password protect my phone, and I wouldn't mind having my information handy up front, but Apple likes to have one story that it tells its customers and fiddling with widgets on a lock screen would, I believe, complicate that story.
Comment on How-To: Access Your Time Capsule Over the Internet by Stefano
Hello everyone.
I am studying abroad in sd and I go back to my home country twice a year. In sd I have my Time Capsule where I back up my MacBook Pro. I do have a MacBook Air that I use to travel but sometimes I need files that are on my MacBook Pro. I am trying to set my time capsule so that I can access to my files from the internet through my MacBook Air (even if my macbook pro if off). I followed these steps but when I connect to my

Comment on Accelerate Your Startup: Get the Right Product/Market Fit by Dan Cornish
I am very interested in how to scale. Can you also address scaling without VC money? I know it might sound crazy, but if you scale a business without VC for a while the valuations get much better. Every $1 million in sales creates anywhere between 2x and 20x in value.

Comment on Can Mobile Phones Think? by ronald
Thinking != following pre-defined rules only
Context != programmed categories with pre-defined attributes
What you describe is just location based categorization. No thinking from the app required, nor context. In a simple case context augments data to make them useful, not required here since it's pre-defined.

Kevin, there is software for Symbian called GSM Navigator which works similar to Locale but can also work based on the cell sites you are accessing so that it doesn't drain the battery like GPS does. It can switch profiles, launch applications, send messages based on your location and when you enter/exit a locale. There's a lot you can do if you find the right app but there is not just one app store for Symbian.

Comment on How to Make People Management Software More Human by Gordon Ross
Well said Daniel. Geoffrey Moore at E2.0 in Santa Clara summed it up nicely by saying that we're not talking about systems of record, but rather systems of engagement. Nice expression that furthers the thought around social software.

Comment on Why iPad 2 Is Coming and What to Expect by Scott
It may very well happen and I expect it will only because Apple needs to stay ahead of the rest. I just played with a Samsung galaxy tab and it's already better then an Ipad. The original ipad needs a camera and much more to stem the huge tides of new tablets about to hit.

So what exactly is exciting here? You can tag times and locations and all kind of stuff. Then you make it interact. Simple filter rule.
For lady gaga you need pills and counseling. A smartphone can't save you.

Comment on Must-have Android Apps For Newbies by Michael
Curious why you don't care for HootDroid? I find HootSuite to be the most versatile, feature-filled Twitter client, more so than Seesmic or TweetDeck. I dare say you may have not discovered all of its features.

Comment on Rumor Has It: iPad 2 Suppliers Chosen, New Case Possible by Op
While every upgrade people expect apple to invent the wheel, usually what happens is that they add a minor change, and the Ipad 2 isn't different.
I think it will have the same exact design.
1) front camera
2) more memory
3) gyro
4) maybe less wight.
no new touch.
no usb connector ( that will ruin apple way of doing things.)
This is the the new ipad, nothing more then that.

Comment on jkOnTheRun review- Batterygeek PowerPack 130 external battery by Stan Pink
I would stay away from Battery Geek. The worst customer service. Check out Tekkeon battery packs. I ordered two from newegg and has been working out well for my Asus netbook and cell phone.

Comment on Verizon: Here’s the Truth About Sprint 4G by super smart
Roger A is right about the different generations, and I am a geek who spends an unbelievable amount of time researching stuff like this out of curiosity and because I have relatives on Sprint service.

Comment on For $55, What Kind of LTE Experience Does MetroPCS Deliver? by tom
i would disagree with the statement from metroPCS about what their customers are looking for. i am quite familiar with the retail environment in both metroPCS and cricket retail stores. high end smartphones(usually flashed(converted) from verizon or sprint) are not only in very high demand(far beyond the supply) plus prepaid customers are easily willing to pay in the $400 - $700 range for used phones. that is something very different from the major carriers.
the reality is that metro's leapfroging of 3G means that for now at least customers are unable to use fast data on the phones they can easily obtain(new or used phones flashed from spring or verizon) and are instead limited to either metro's limited 4G selection or using WIFI only for data.

Comment on Verizon: Here’s the Truth About Sprint 4G by Beaugrand
Or, you could have simply called customer service (800) 922-0204 and asked to be disconnected "because the service was too expensive" or "because (other carrier) offered me a better deal."
Of course, disconnected numbers can't be ported, so (other carrier) will have to give you a new number.
Sure, they'll give some "save" offers, like changing plans, discounts on equipment, converting to a mobile broadband plan, but those are part of the metrics that determine how much they paid- as are percentage of disconnects.
Or, as mentioned previously, just set up service with (other carrier) and port the VZW number- and follow up to make sure your VZW line is actually disconnected- and don't wait weeks or months to follow through (that's called "C your own A").
Picking a fight with a sales person is always a pointless exercise, be it cell phones or used cars or microwave ovens.

Mark Zuckerberg And An Army Of Insurgent Entrepreneurs Just Declared War On The TV, Music, News, And Movie Industries
At the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a six minute speech about how, starting sometime in the next five years, he expects his company to make billions and billions of dollars turning the TV, news, film, and music industries upside down.
The speech was nuanced and obviously pre-planned. It contained big revelations. But because it came in the middle of a wide-ranging, hour-long interview, hardly anybody noticed.
The gist: As has already happened in the gaming industry – where Zynga now has a larger market cap than Electronic Arts – Facebook expects insurgent entrepreneurs to "reform" the film, TV, news, e-commerce and music industries with the help of Facebook. Some of these companies will be incumbents. Some will unseat incumbents. Facebook will then – perhaps through credits or advertising, but also perhaps some other way – tax these companies in exchange for the value it has added.
Here's how Zuckergberg put it:
"Anything that involves content or specific expertise in an area – games, music, movies, TV, news, anything in media, anything e-commerce, any of this stuff.
Over the next five years, those verticals are going to be completely re-thought. There are going to be some really good businesses built.
Our view is that we should play a role in helping to re-form and re-think all those industries, and we'll get value proportional to what we put in. In gaming, we get some percentage of the value of those companies through ads and credits. But that's all because we're helping them.
If we're helpful to other industries in building out what would be a good solution then there will be some way we get value from that. "
In the next few days, we're going to publish a speculative story on how Facebook can "reform" those industries the way it has been able to funnel hundreds of millions of users into social gaming. We'll be talking about some of these issues at our Ignition conference next week too. We'd love to hear your thoughts, too. Comment below or email us at Nicholas@businessinsider.com.
In the meantime, we've embedded Zuckerberg's speech here:
