My favorite aspect of the original iPod was that it held all your music. I didn't have to think about what to sync. I didn't have to think about what I could play. I always had everything. With the iPod Nano and iPhone, managing music became a pain.

Yesterday while driving to Palo Alto, I tested Siri and iTunes Match. "Shuffle songs by Smashing Pumpkins." A few seconds later, music started playing. But here's the amazing part: my phone didn't have Smashing Pumpkins on it! The music was streaming from iCloud.

Apple has guided US citizens to the future. I, in Tokyo, am still having a pain to organize my music library on my iPhone. I want to take my whole library out. How I envy you!

Thanks for the tips! It works on my 3GS (5.0.1 tethered). Thanks a lot!

I worked in this building for years. I can't even imagine what it feels like to be in Infinite Loop today. I feel sad for not being there with my friends at Apple.

A great star has fallen. Moan.

With the acquisition, Google gains a portfolio of 17,000 patents and another 7,000 patents pending globally, an area where it is a currently a laggard. But more than anything, it signals how crucial it is for Google to control the Android experience from soup to nuts.

Up until now, Google has taken the Windows approach to mobile—create an OS that all manufacturers can build on top of and just concentrate on the software—but that approach is not enough. More than 550,000 Android phones are activated every day across 39 manufacturers, but there is no single phone or Android manufacturer that can best the iPhone. By owning Motorola, Google can create Android phones to its exact specifications and take advantage of the latest advances in the operating system, just like Apple does. When CEO Larry Page says that buying Motorola will “supercharge” Android, that is what he means I suspect.
