Absolutely. Zuckerberg's the face, not the brains.

He is the Gizatz Haderac!!!

@FriedPeeps: I think you grossly underestimate how important Windows is and what a global economic disaster it's sudden disappearance would be. Businesses would be absolutely paralyzed and the economy would collapse. Think about what percentage of businesses use some variant of Windows, from servers to clients, and

@Butters619: You must be skipping a lot of posts lately.

@testandlearn: I will protest Hosni Gizbarak in the streets until he steps down from power!

Theodore Roosevelt to his secretary: "Ok, now we've got some problems I want to get a handle on and I need to talk to some captains of industry dammit! Get me John Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and, hmmm...I need one more person...oh yeah, Harpo Marx in here right away!"

@DanKrouse: Seriously. It's becoming Farkmodo. Stop with the two to three sentence articles and provide some decent commentary and effort.

@aufburnshiz: It would like you suddenly understanding and being able to talk to computers in binary. Computers suck at natural language. Watson is the first one that seems to be able to handle the nuances of it the vast majority of the time and use it to reason and respond.

But that's not reasoning. That's intuition.

@Joe Geronimo: Those don't look like eye movements. But if they appear on screen they tend to be what I'm lookin' at.

@commander_k: It absolutely does reason...it takes in information, makes determinations about it, and then uses it's systems to judge the correct answer and figures out whether or not to respond. If A=B and B=C, then A=C. Isn't that basic reasoning?

Then how do you explain planet Poseidon?

But to counter your points, the nano iPhone may have a smaller screen (thus not as large of a draw on the battery) but would, as a result of it's "nano-ness" have a markedly smaller battery, thus leaving us back where we were—poorer battery life because of the need for constant data. And why would they pull less data

I couldn't agree more, Jesus. Pairing an inexpensive phone with the need for an expensive data plan makes no sense. I don't think people are quite ready for an entirely cloud-based experience. Just wait until they get on a plane and can't listen to any music.

Funny thing is that I hated iTunes when I was running Windows. When I switched over to OSX, I didn't have nearly the same problems that I did previously. I do agree, though, that it should and could be a hell of a lot better than it is. Nothing pisses me off more than the "we're gonna have to delete all your music,

@joker94: The iPad has no long-term contract and is only a month-to-month data plan. Nobody is locked into a contract and it's therefore not impacted the same way an iPhone is. And for the first iPad, there was no predecessor from which to cannibalize sales.

@joker94: Yup. Which is why they release new iPods right away vs cannibalizing two months worth of sales by announcing it early. I could be totally wrong (and hope I am because I am dying to see updated specs) but I don't think they'll be a long delay between announcement and availability.
