3 Weeks In, Jelly Bean is Running 0.8% of Android... →
It’s sad that this is a major improvement for Android.
How long will it take for iOS 6 to get onto 0.8% of iOS devices? 3 minutes?
I’m not being facetious. I really think it will take about 3 minutes.
Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if the developer preview is already on 0.8% of devices.

Anonymous asked: Not really a question, but an observation in regard to "Android and browsing statistics". Isn't it just possible that Android users just more use Apps, and less the browser? I mean, I use 10 different Apps with internet all day, but my browser.. not so much. Also I dont think reading websites with Google Reader or Instapaper is seen as browsing. And what about opening an link in...

'Vertigo' Tops 'Citizen Kane' in Poll of Greatest... →
Stuart Kemp:
Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane no longer enjoys the moniker of greatest film of all time, a plaudit it has held for 50 years.
The movie has occupied top billing in the British Film Institute-published magazine Sight & Sound’s once-a-decade international critics’ film poll since 1962.
I’m not really sure what changed in the past year (I guess just taste?), but I...

Android Is... Still Getting Destroyed In Mobile... →
Mobile Safari hit 66.22% share of mobile browsing in July, the highest number yet that NetMarketshare has calculated for the browser. Android is growing too, at 19.41%, but amazingly, not as quickly.
John Gruber wonders how this could be given what we’re told about Android market share:
Not sure how to square the disparity here other than to assume that an awful lot of Android...

You Want An iPhone? No You Don't. →
Zach Epstein:
Even when customers come into stores specifically looking for the iPhone 4S or iPhone 4, staffers have been instructed to make an effort to show people Android and Windows Phone devices as well, so they can “make an informed decision.” In addition, AT&T retail staff in at least some locations are no longer permitted to obtain iPhones as their company-owned devices, and must...

justingo asked: I've always wondered about this but do you use a screen protector for your iPhone or iPad? I used to use screen protectors on my smart devices but I found that it took a lot away from the experience of using the screen in its intended way and takes away the beauty of the display.

An iOS 6 And Bluetooth 4 Link? →
Jeremy Horwitz:
Our source also claimed that Apple is working on an as-yet-undisclosed iOS 6 feature that will act as a bridge between its Bluetooth 4-capable devices.
I haven’t heard a thing about this, but it is interesting that Apple’s has been including Bluetooth 4 in all its recent devices and seemingly doing nothing with it — yet.

Studios Should Take Notice of IMAX's Dominant... →
Forget the 3D nonsense, if Hollywood wants to keep butts in the seats, they need to go all-in on IMAX.
While you can certainly argue that the home theater experience is comparable to that of many standard theaters (and in some cases, much better), IMAX is incomparable. It enhances the magic that made movies so special in the first place.

Digg v1
rethinkdigg:
On July 20, we announced that we were turning Digg back into a startup and rebuilding it from scratch in six weeks. After an intense month and a half, we managed to get the new Digg up and running on a fresh code base and infrastructure. We now have a solid foundation on which to build, and we expect to build fast. Yesterday, we previewed the new Digg applications for web, iPhone, and...

"Making It Even Better" →
Google, in an email to those that pre-ordered a Nexus Q:
We also heard initial feedback from users that they want Nexus Q to do even more than it does today. In response, we have decided to postpone the consumer launch of Nexus Q while we work on making it even better.
It sure seems like nearly everyone realized this would be a big ball of fail upon seeing it. My question is: how on Earth did...
