Update: The aforementioned 55" Sears-exclusive Seiki is actually $825 right now, with free in-store pickup. Their Black Friday ad heavily promotes this particular set with an $85o special price, so to see it for even less today makes us think it might be an error on their part. That said, grab it while you can, and…

Nope. Just bought it. Went fine.

Not a mistake. For you guys, out of the goodness of my heart, I went ahead and bought it. It went through just fine.

You mention that we should wait for premium HDTVs. What would you consider a premium HDTV? For example, I'm looking for a 50-60 in NON SMART (I absolutely do not want to pay for someone's UI that I will almost never use) HDTV. Would you say that I should wait for Cyber Monday or another date? I've also seen a couple…

I don't think the economic cliff is so big as you explain. But yes, in average, an iPhone user does have higher income. But it's not that only hobos use Android and rich guys use iPhones. Just a small correlation lol.

Here, have my star. You deserve it, kid.

How do you know the process isn't much simpler in iOS than Windows/Unix? For all you know, they've made it really easy to use the new APIs.

16th Century studies? I think we need something more current.

When I re-read the entire saga, I knew perfectly well about Cards views. But it just couldn't find them in the books, quite the opposite, actually.

Or a Blizzard 'Soon'

I've owned the Logitech Marathon Mouse for years and loved it. I finally upgraded to an MX performance a couple weeks ago though.

Yes, it can. Go ahead and buy one. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

they probably did 600/400 = 1.5, which is wrong. Correct math would be 1 - 400/600, which is a 0.33 increase in performance.

I wouldn't worry about that. Apple has done a good job to get extremely good performance out of its components. That's why with Apple, we don't really talk about specs, we talk about benchmarks, and how they destroy the competition with perceived modest specs.

I don't think they'd do that. I think the point they were trying to make was that there are no compromises on the Mini. It is purely about screen size.

Uhm, they do have those options. Under accessibility or something like that. But you can essentially turn them into Kiosk mode in order to restrict it to certain apps and things like that.

My name is Steve Jobs. You stole a product that I wanted to keep secret. Prepare to die.

But the point he's trying to make is that the benefit of making it lighter and thinner outweight the benefit of increasing performance and battery life in a device that already has impressive performance and battery life. You make engineering decisions like that all the time. If you want a more rugged device, buy an…

You know that OS updates are more than just new features for you, right? It gives developers are common base for them to work with. A standard, up-to-date OS gives YOU better apps, even if you miss out on a feature or two.

How long did it take for most apps (most being the minimum number of apps that you could say you almost always use) to update to Retina when the iPhone 4 and iPad 3 came out? Or for the iPhone 5?
