@lrgabriel: Yeah, but computers, ahem, crash all the time...

No, no, no. They are not trying to remove the co-pilot, they are just trying to make the position optional:

@Dodge2002: That is because you have never heard of winding. Yes, people wound up watches every morning. And I would kill to have one.

"Now you tell me......."

Unless it prints tea, Earl Grey, hot, I don't really care.

Just Apple's little way of saying "thank you" to the superfan first-adopters of their unsuccessful, poorly-concieved product. Ask about your free lisa sticker.

@strich: At any rate, it would have been more impressive if she were wearing the product in the video. Why did they even pan down to her saturday night boots?

Wouldn't the (measly 5%) alcohol in a beer rapidly evaporate if you "fried" it?

Obviously they should send down 33 Flip cameras to let them film the best reality show EVER!

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.1: It sold me, to be honest. No jailbreak required, out-the-box, Xevious.

I use the tactile keyboard on my Droid to play old-school Nintendo titles ...

@sydcinema: Most likely, the owner is not really making an "either/or" decision with that 10K. That window is likely worth 10k.

@jayhudgeons: +1

@tedknaz: But... what if you wanted to play any of those 9 AAA titles online?

This was a well written piece, thanks!

@Jack Skitt: oh, i know about handbrake, et. al.; I am talking about the research and the time to encode, not to mention limited use of your machine in the meantime.

@mmmiles: Try putting your favorite DVD on the ipad to watch on a long flight...

@Namarrgon: Well done!

I can think of some other Camels that produce pollution far more localized and immediately deadly.
