No serious person can argue the skill level of today’s NBA players isn’t vastly superior to those of 10, 20, 30 and 40 years ago.

“The number one thing to look for in a great moka pot is a basket that’s large enough to accommodate a proper coffee-to-water ratio. It should also be easy to assemble and have thicker walls and a wide base for better heat distribution.“

I refuse to use them, even when it pushes me back to the default apps that came with the device.

As a tech enthusiast, I've spent the last several months watching the iOS7 design arguments play out online, and I've read a few reviews with interest this week.

So it was with interest that I observed my wife and MIL's reactions to the upgrade on their iPads, which was really no big deal at all.

A cogent reminder to me that there's a vast difference between us and them.

I love the promotions tab for exactly the reason that marketers hate it. If I haven't opened an email in the promotions folder after a week, I've begun unsubscribing from it.

And now a few weeks later my inbox's without the tabs (phone and tablet) are a lot cleaner and more sane.

Newegg and Groupon and other mass marketers _have_ to hate this.

This is absolutely a true statement:

"(T)he primary problem with using market share as a measure of business health is it provides no insight into the profitability of the product being sold."

But other than that, the answer to "who is winning" is first defined by what goals the competitors are competing to reach.

If Androids goal is market share, and Apples goal is profit, both could be winning...and at the same time.
