YES! This means Apple will finally let us sync podcasts between computers wirelessly!


Of course, only 7 percent of Android devices currently run it....


No. -Betteridge


I knew the law, but didn't know Betteridge is "a technology journalist who primarily covers topics relating to Apple/Mac." How apropos.

They did it for the iPod, why not its replacement.

I swear I am going to write a rumor / stupid article bot for Apple news and make a fortune on link bait. If you see the "by protomyth" then you know I actually did it.


Apple rumor Markov chains. Oh, that would be hilarious.


Not smart enough at computers to figure that out...


I'd like it to be automatic so that every time I open the laptop, it's open.


Because the carriers really know what they're doing. What a bunch of imbeciles. The first iPhone was nearly killed by the morons.


I'd agree. The problem with most of America is that it's a prudish culture which shies away from real discussion of sexuality. Health class still champions abstinence, and only a spare few adults will actually talk with children about sexuality. (Namely, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBXl3QWT3LU)


The thing is, homosexuals can be attracted to heterosexuals. For instance, there's a large section of porn for gay men dedicated to displaying straight men in sexual situations, usually with other men. (Source: http://www.amazon.com/Billion-Wicked-Thoughts-Largest-Experi...)


Yes, some homosexual men have been attracted to heterosexual men (and some heterosexual women have been attracted to homosexual men, etc.), but it is not the norm at all.

And yes, there is some porn aimed at gay men that shows 'straight' men engaging in gay male sexual acts, and there is porn aimed at straight men showing women engaged in same-sex sexual acts (just look for "girl-on-girl"), and there is porn aimed at straight women showing men engaged in same-sex acts (just look for "slash-fic"). The vast majority of porn consumed by gay men is gay male porn though.

It is completely wrong to presume that heterosexuals are constantly at threat of advanced from gay men.


Perhaps this will encourage Dropbox to up the ante and release an official sync with Google Docs. Please?


There is unofficial Google Docs <-> Dropbox sync: https://cloudHQ.net/dropbox Please let me know what you think about it.


diaspora...?


"But those [diaspora, identica] developments aren’t specifically focused on protest movements. And the Occupy movement’s surprising rise in the U.S. has added new impetus to the desire for open source versions of the software that is playing an increasingly important role in mobilizing and connecting social movements, as well as broadcasting their efforts to the world."

So yeah, Diaspora. The article is not well-written.
