Technically it can power itself just from the sounds it makes, light it emits, and heat that it would generate

The capability to take it apart though is appealing to some. Imagine the possibilities when put into the hands of the extremely creative hackers out there...

You should probably consider any Wifi only tablet, since you can simply share the data plan you have for your phone to your tablet. MiWi was pretty handy to create a wifi network straight from an iPhone (if you don't have it available from the official iOS firmware). In the end you'll save money since you aren't…

It's actually pretty easy with a mouse... you just have to learn the motions. Some things are actually easier with a mouse than with touch but that might just be because of the beta status.

They aren't actual links... they're apparently placeholders. If you look at the code they don't have any URLs attached that's why you can't click on them. It's not you it's gizmodo that has the issue on this article.

Should be careful with that... as far as I've seen 'firsters' tend to get banned pretty quick.

If you don't know the area or to be able to spot a tricky turn or if a street sign isn't present or easily found. Street view is good for people that don't know their way around and would like a few hints so they can find their way and not pass it accidentally.

Here's some free software. You install the SSD while you have your old drive still connected and you can basically just clone it to the SSD, but depends on how much space you have. You can also just transfer the essentials which is always good since you'll pretty much start from scratch (making your PC faster.)

They're not blaming the user, they're saying it was sensible to hold off the update after the news spread that it was faulty.

Without fans heat could be an issue, solder points may fail, memory and official parts may cost an arm and a leg as opposed to third party, which could allow you to upgrade it yourself.

Not bad...at least they didn't go with a iPad vs. Surface ad.

It isn't actually giving away their work in these cases since they actually are making money off hardware more than software, and just to be sure they could in essence just release their code after the product is no longer officially supported. Open source is nice in the fact that the community takes over development…

The only downside to your argument would be in terms of the intellectual property that may have to be revealed to allow for that to happen, which could give competitors (not just AMD) an advantage when it comes to building competing chips.

I don't think android isn't a business...but they leave developers the opportunity to develop apps to fill in gaps, and they do feel more up to date always compared to iPhones... sure they give it to older phone but it is designed to push the new ones. Most people that buy the iphone 4 are average consumers that…

That's when you need a hackintosh build if you really want a powerful mac

Superglue? Or some natural adhesive compound a la "There's something about Mary" perhaps?

My only concern would be the graphics card.... they never put a real cutting edge graphics card in any macbook so the performance at that resolution for any game will probably be sub par...so you basically have to drop down resolution to play...

Offline maps are really useful though. They've been available for some time now for google maps... just they were a beta Labs feature but extremely useful.

It also is because they held back so many normal features simply to make money off the next iteration of iOS and the next model of the iPhone. They did it intentionally.

You usually just have to research for games a setting for FPS Limit. Usually you can just set V-Sync on and that limits it to 30 FPS (not always) but some games have special settings for that.
