After getting fooled by the Te'o hoax, they include another hoax in their report on the first hoax. When will the madness end?
When will the media learn their lesson?
Looks like two great bloggers jumped the gun.
This looks like a challenge to other companies that Facebook wishes to acquire.
Re:An actual Microsoft Surface buying experience on Monday October 29, 2012 @04:55PM (#4714399)
A much more positive experience than has previously been reported.
The Touch Cover should have been included or been $50 or less. $100-120 is way too much to spend on something most people think is included.

Exactly, there's no reason for this to be an app, other than the new business model. It's just a blog in an app, not a magazine. In fact, the content will either be from already-free web archives, or will be published later on the web for free. It is just a way to generate revenue from new/old blog posts on top of the web revenue.

Very true. If I were them, I'd wait a while and make some ads before launching their app.

Google is clever by linking to their maps web app, which is much better than Apple's latest native maps app.

Actually, when dragging a disk to the trash in OSX the trash can turns into an eject button.
Re:Nokia Lumia 920 is more retina than the iPhone 4S on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @12:10PM (#4479984)
Agreed. Not a lot to brag about, but I'd at least mention that it is retina.
