I can't help but feel like you're kidding yourself to a degree.

They do... it's called the smoking section.

True, but it takes effort to develop a physical dependency. Almost everybody drinks, and even most heavy drinkers don't develop a true addiction. Psychological addiction is another story, but you can't really regulate that.

Those aren't physically addictive in the same sense that cigarettes are.

Is that really open? It looks like a rendering.

It's built in to the apartment I'm living in. At least I don't have to bring a desk, though.

Why all the ribbon hate? I've always found it much more intuitive than wall-of-text dropdown menus.

I honestly prefer the Windows 3.1 paradigm to the Start Menu, and certainly to Win8's mess.

Same here. Although I'm not sure how well that'll pan out with an AMD processor.

I disagree that Apple is making "the same sort of decisions" as MS with Win8. What they're doing in terms of iOS/OS X convergence is creating desktop-oriented mirrors of the features in iOS (a.k.a, the right way to do it), whereas MS just decided to make ONE OS TO RULE THEM ALL. I'm sure your familiar with the phrase…

I don't think we'll reach that level of integration for years. Certainly not before the next Windows release.

Outlook.com made me sad because it appears to not have IMAP support. POP3 needs to die already.

It's more an issue of how much space I have on my desk.

Fullscreen apps on a 1080p monitor. No, just no.

Cigarettes may be a unique case. I'm having trouble thinking of any other highly addictive legal substances that aren't already plastered in warnings.

I'm sure they will. This definitely feels like a case headed for SCOTUS.

They already did earlier this year. This judge seems to think that this is a matter of first impression because the word GPS wasn't used. Cell triangulation and GPS tracking are effectively the same thing in terms of law enforcement use. This will almost certainly be overturned in a higher court.

The Supreme Court already smacked down the FBI for warrantless GPS use. How is this case different?

What I'd like to see is them cut a deal with a cable provider to allow you to use either their cable box or an AppleTV cable box. This doesn't sound like what it's going to be though.

She's pretty hot in Agora.
