Mostly for the flexibility and longevity of the plain text format. Every single text editor on every single operating system can read plain text, and will likely be able to for as long as computers exist as we know them today. This way, you can write a complex MD document in ANY text editor, from Notepad to TextEdit

Good point.

To be fair, MagSafe 2 was literally a squish and stretch of the design, to fit in thinner chassis. Same 5 pins, just a little thinner.

It's converting 8-pins of digital signal into 30-pins of analog, and vice-versa. Probably more than a simple adaptor in there.

I don't know. Theater experiences for me have always been good. I do, however, live in a area with a fairly cheap box office (Kalamazoo, $9 for an evening ticket, $13 IMAX, $15 IMAX 3D). Reserved seating in that IMAX, too.

$2000 is a lot. I trust anything The Wirecutter recommends, and it says this is the best TV you can buy right now http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/panasonic-st50-the-best-tv/

No it doesn't. You can put the Express in Client mode*, which will capture the WiFi signal and allow you to use it's array of wired ports on the network. Meaning: the Ethernet port can be used as a wireless bridge for a wired device, the USB port for wireless printer sharing, and the audio out port, for AirPlay. You

Sending audio from iOS/OS X devices to a stereo is basically what Airplay was invented for, and a college environment is one of the intended purposes of an Airport Express.

Mid-June weather for Michigan is typically 70-85℉ (though can be up in the 90s), anywhere from sunny or total cloud overcast (it's a toss-up). Basically, anything and everything.

They have no motivation to. Everyone who uses RSS uses Reader (whether the website or as a syncing service). Nobody wants to spend the time coding RSS functions into their app (or even worse, a web app), as it's no much easier to just tap into the typically rock-solid Google Reader API. So the only alternatives you

The 30-pin connector doesn't really work like that. There's no direct hardware connection from the camera to it. As such, you need software. So it's kind of like trying to share a webcam between two or more computers. You need software on both ends (and I can't even imagine how terrible this software I find would

Only bit of advice: try doing things as they are already, before you go about messing with settings. Don't try to emulate Windows, or "the way you're used to". Try Natural Scrolling, DO NOT use OnyX within the first 6 months. Don't perform any maintenance (it doesn't need it).

Lifehacker times are PDT, FWIW. SO they shut up shop around 8 Eastern. Seems reasonable.

Lion costs $29, but Mountain Lion costs $19 and upgrades both Lion and Snow Leopard.

If you really want to play it safe (if you don't already have it), you could string good ol' fashioned Coax and phone lines. They're extremely cheap. You don't even have to wire them up, they'll just be there.

Not many monitors can interface with a desktop computer for settings like that. Pretty much a hardware thing as far as Windows is concerned. I do know all Apple monitors and laptops have ambient light detectors the work pretty well.

If he happens to have Star Wars on LD, keep it and the player forever. Known universally as the best quality, unaltered, widescreen version of the original releases.

I live in Michigan. Some examples:
