That's only on the color and tablet, and that was a design element of the color to give it a different look than the competition.

Most viruses people are getting through normal browsing aren't a result of the browser insecurity, but flash vulnerabilities exploited by malicious ads that keep slipping into major networks. I've had it happen to me twice - what's obnoxious is both times I had flashblock on, and one time flash was even current, but…

The statement is arrogant and elitist, but not entirely untrue. Security was not treated anywhere close to the way it was now in the early days of netscape/IE. There was a tremendous amount of trust involved in software design and online business in the 1990s, until people learned how they could abuse the hell out of…

Also, as far as "good guy"/"bad guy" comments go, The US as an entity didn't go in to install a horrible dictator, they went in to clear out another government. They made a massive, horrible mistake, and that's why in cases like Iraq so much focus has been placed on supporting the locals in appointing their own…

As someone who thinks the rest of the world has every right to call out the US for stupid crap they did/do, especially when our government doesn't own up to how big the mistakes we've made are and take every effort to make it right.... your initial comments are still inappropriate, and you are being at least as…

I went to the zoo last weekend with some friends - we were looking at one of the ponds which is in an exhibit, but also commonly used for coin tossing - and noticed a first gen iPhone at the bottom. Drop or disposal? not sure :)

The saddest part of this is just how clear it is that game development is too costly these days to make quality games purely for the sake of making a good game on an interesting platform. Money-wise, the phone may be hard to compete with, but those games are, frankly, stupid. That includes infinity blade. There's no…

YAY!

The first iPhone had a lot of hype, but didn't actually make much of a dent in the smartphone market until the App market came out. It made almost no headway in business until iOS 4, which meant Blackberry was able to hold on for quite a while. Now it's a raging wonder-product, back then it was just touted as one. To…

"Apple has to bring it to justify those premium prices. And it typically does, even when it is late to the game."

In most areas the reason for the deposit is to push people to recycle instead of throwing it in the trash, regardless of whether they could have recycled it anyway - because most people don't. I didn't know some places had a quarter deposit on jugs until your comment, I went and looked it up, and it looks like it was…

The peppers I lost this year say otherwise. If an infestation is small enough that it's not really going to be a problem then sure, but otherwise you're going to have to take some form of action - Gardens aren't natural environments, if you don't control the biosphere it can easily get out of control, because often…

No offense, but none of your comments excuse shoddy practices, including blatantly not showing up for a pickup and claiming they did (or delivery which is very, very common complaint with FedEx), or delivering large packages in a clearly damaged state without any form of customer contact.

This. The way it is phrased is misleading, one of the banners on Adobe's site is similar (note, you can get this same deal at Adobe direct). Not really a deal of the day, but not bad if you are an academic and were already looking for a copy.

PET bottles are not reused, they are recycled, same as aluminum cans. Beer bottles are sterilized with high-temp steam/water and reused when possible, recycled when not.

Traditional tea cups don't have handles, so if you like to drink it piping hot, you'd usually just grip it by the rim.

Aside from being kind of an awkward design that's kinda likely to result in spills (definitely not kid safe), the infuser area is way too small, and because of that and the wedge design, your tea leaves aren't going to open properly or circulate in the water at all, so you aren't going to get as good of a steeping as…

A large infuser or strainer lets the leaves open up more, so you get more flavor and more good steepings out of it (especially compressed teas like oolong and puerh, which you actually want to steep multiple time because they last for several, and often taste best on the second or third batch). Sometimes if the bags…

It matters not what it means, as long as you buy.
