I'm curious as to why memory foam products are so expensive. Is casting a big rectangular solid that more expensive than the labor-intensive process of building a regular innerspring mattress (which are themselves a high-margin product.)

LONG LIVE ViiV!

Until HTML5 becomes ubiquitous, I think I'd be OK with mobile Flash even if it were slow.

I don't think he's trolling.

To answer the question — No.

For the record, Apple and Kodak used to be BFF. Apple agreed to natively support the Kodak PhotoCD format in MacOS and Kodak at one time had the largest installed base of Macs in a business setting.

The example of a beach at sunset with an obvious horizontal line to level by was prety lame. Make it a beach with lots of people, umbrellas, boats, and shadows and I'll be more impressed. Maybe.

Assuming these folks bought their iPad 2s from a retailer with a price matching policy, they will most likely be able to go back and get a refund of the difference between what they paid and the new iPad 2 pricing.

I think Sony still see themselves as a superior brand based on past glories.

My friends in my home state of Vermont have been posting on Facebook that it's a bad season there as well. I've already made a run to Costco for an extra year's worth of wonderful Grade B (aka Dark Amber) syrup. I probably need to get a couple more quarts while it's still about $13/qt. It's been as high as $19/qt.…

Personally, I think all iOS devices should have just one amount of memory, say 4GB, and let consumers add an SD/microSD card of their choice. This is the same model used by digital camera manufacturers. Of course Apple will never do this as the charge a super-premium for on-board flash memory. A 2mm-wide slot also…

If system builders stopped including bloatware on their PCs, I suspect prices of PCs would increase to compensate for the lost revenue. Revenue is not just from the per PC fee for allowing installation of the bloatware on new systems, the PC manufacturer gets additional revenue when the consumer buys the full version…

One problem is that you no longer get a Windows disc when you buy a PC. Other than Samsung, you are expected have the foresight to create your own restore discs before your hard drive crashes.

I have a built-in instant hot water tap set to 195-degrees. A pound of room temperature ceramic sucks a lot of heat out of the water so I stick it into the microwave for 50-seconds to get the water to a boil before adding the tea.

I really dislike tea made in a Keurig. First, the water is nowhere near hot enough for tea. Second, steep time is a few seconds and not minutes. The first 3 ounces looks OK but after that, it's just brownish water.

There is a big difference between two miles and almost 100 miles. As the projectile rises and falls through varying air density, humidity, and perhaps clouds, snow, or rain, the trajectory must change from what was calculated to hit it's intended target. Also the curvature of the earth, rotational velocity of the…

It's essentially a dumb cannonball, lacking any guidance system (not that any could survive the acceleration anyway.) How could it be accurate beyond a few miles? It certainly could not come anywhere near a target at NYC->Philly distances.

I worked for Intel for a few years, including occasional support of senior executive keynote speeches. When the 2GHz P4 was shown for the first time, there was a 5-6' tall dewer of liquid nitrogen backstage. It was next to the Blue Man Group's PVC instruments.

My local Best Buy is out of the 64GB models and most of the AT&T and Verizon 3G models. About all that's left is 16GB Wi-Fi models.

The National Air and Space Museum on the DC Mall has one for everyone to touch. I always make a point to do so when I'm there every 5-10 years. I think my regional aircraft museum, which also own the Spruce Goose, has one on display also.
