@Delta Sierra: Especially sense a lot of bottled water is not really any different than tap water anyway.

@dave_t: Monochrome FTL. It looks somewhat interesting, but functionally its stupid as all hell.

@peasant slayer: I was thinking the same thing. I'm like half icon half command line.

@dtptampa: You can run CAD on almost anything. You might get crappy 3D rendering times, but I'm running it on a laptop with a 256 meg Geforce, 2.19 Gig intel single core, and 2 gig or ram, and never seen a problem.

@Goondocks: Landscape Architects, Architects, Civils, Surveyors all still use it, and not in small numbers - it's still the industry standard.

@eucrow: I'm sure you could hire a custom PC maker to get a set of new machines that look better than a mac, and out preform one, for not much more than the mac would cost.

@milrtime83: Yeah, most Architects, Civil Engineers, Landscape Architects, and Surveyors still use CAD as the standard.

@Coreboy: As a quick note, VectorWorks, Cads biggest competitor is $2,395 for a single seat, Vs CADs $3999 (without a subscription). A price jump to be sure, but far from 5x. And as most firms still use CAD as the standard, its still tricky to make the switch since every file you get from an engineering firm is a…

@Velox Aequitas: +1 charisma

@Kerensky97: Or it could be that images on TVs always photograph TERRIBLY... maybe.

@DrewCSchultz: I know they ran a test series in Texas a year or so back. I don't THINK it was kiosk based though. If you mean further back then that, not that I remember, but it may have been a regional thing.

@adhawk1337: To compete directly with gamestop. If they can get all the gamers who go to gamestop first because gamestop has used games, they have a chance to take a big chunk of marketshare.

@SkipErnst: As someone who works in Home Theater at a Best Buy, part of me is not relishing replying to this, but the asinine amount of BBY bashing is getting to me.

@Z_Naught: Plastics can leach hormone disrupting compounds into drinks, even water. Air pollution leads to increased asthma rates and increased sever asthma attacks. Water pollution leads to increased cancer risks (Areas of Long Island that get drinking water from the Long Island Sound have some of the highest…

@Z_Naught: and I'm so tired of all this cancer, asthma, hormonal imbalance, and extinct species. But you're right. Its not fun to be reminded of, so lets just not talk about it...

@Kwinten: Its still only around 12-15% last I've heard. and click the two links I posted on one of my other posts if you want to see info about Mac OS getting hosed.

@DirtyDogg: Sorry, instant reaction. Working at Best Buy, in the home theater Dept, I still hear CONSTANT people talking about how they want to get a Mac because its virus proof and they will never have to worry. Sure, you are more safe right now. But once people decide to go after Macs, your just as F'ed, if not…

@Kwinten: What I'm saying is Macs are becoming more popular, especially with the ipod/pad. As the market share increases, the likelihood of hackers deciding it would be worth attempting goes up every day.

I'm gonna say its two images, pasted together as a HDR. I doubt the surface of the TV is a perfect mirror, and if not the reflected image should be much less bright than the direct image. The photographer could have messed with levels in the reflection, but it would be easier to do a bracketed image, and paste two…

@Kwinten: To your original statement, Mac OS is just as easily hackable as Windows, its just that almost no one bothers with the small install base. Buy a Mac without antivirus, count the days until your bank accounts are empty.
