I would say this is true, because whenever i read a PG essay, i think of his voice, thinking his talks. His uniqe voice, tonality and speed of spoken language into his writings, which in turn helps me to better understand what he syas. I always wanted to hear PG essays from his voice. Like an Audible for PG essays.

Using Google Trends as an indicator of success or failure is pointless. Companies morph, they disrupt themselves and change their core business occasionally.

Exactly, lots of emotional arguments. For the ecosystem argument i would like remind that there are IPO scale companies emerge from FB ecosystem. This post have lots of 'what ifs' type of arguments. I am not for or against FB, its just kind of Bezos acquisition of Washington Post: lots of hard to figure it out.

I have thousands of websites inside Google Reader which serves me as a personal sub-internet. With archive and quick search within feeds was so much valuable for me. It was the only service of Google that i use second only to Gmail.

I think they made a quick short headed cost analysis in this, that archive and search functionality needs server power. Actual userbase does not provide enough money juice to balance.

Now, let the alternatives pour in.

Majority of these mini PC's used in conference or meeting rooms, as an easy way to hook up PC with TV. However, next month when Apple announce to open Apple TV as an development platform, there will be an interesting convergence of mini Pc's and tv boxes. Which will probably lead to long rumored Apple TV box.

You don't know what this Chrome box do because Google doesn't know either. Companies threw hardware and see what developers can do, and see where it evolves.

thanks, didn't know this one. If only it could play burned dvd's like ISO files.

Still, VLC integration is a must. With no compromise.

I already have Perian. It's not supported well imho. Just try to open a 8gb mkv and it broke QT.

I am excited as well in AirPlay Mirroring so i watched several times in the demo. It seems video plays with Quicktime. So lot's of video formats are not compatible like mkv's, iso's etc...

If somehow i am able to mirror VLC i will run and buy Apple TV at once.

My question is why black box data is not uploaded to a central server while flying? Is it because of its huge size?

Another figure is (if i'm not mistaken) Mac UI & Icon designer Susan Kare whom stands next to Paul Rand. She has a distinct smile. She seems a bit quite enthusiastic being next to a legendary designer. I bet she is the only one, other than Jobs, who knows the importance of the visitor.

Last time i use Readability it was too slow and stop using it. Original idea one was instant. So i use Readable most of the time. And sometimes i combine (Instapaper Text + Safari Read list). Speed is important, other features are secondary.

I agree with Schema.org. Use that extensively in your website. You get more pixel space in Google SERP's by microformatting your content.

It's because Woz always wanted to stay as an engineer, not as a manager. That's why Jobs and Markkula is one place while Woz near the software team.
