I like turning on the live HD feeds from the International Space Station, which is similar to this. They get blackouts once in a while when they’re drifting over a spot where there are no relay stations, but for the most part, quite cool to have on.

When I had cable, I *loved* Sunrise Earth. Seriously the perfect chill, relaxing way to start my day. Man, I miss it.

There are alternatives, but there’s no major competitor for Office

It’s a mediocre user experience and I have no idea why someone else doesn’t have a competing entry into the market.

I’m no MS fanboy but Office, from an end-users perspective, it’s fantastic, since Office 2007. What exactly is it that you, from an end-user perspective, don’t like?

Canada and Mexico are involved in an intense large scale game of paper football. CASE CLOSED.

I always gesture this way when using that word.

Here's the problem with #4 - HFCS is being pumped into everything. Not just the usual suspects. HFCS is in ketchup. HFCS is in salad dressings (even 'organic' & 'healthy' brands). HFCS is in root beer, iced tea, lemonade, soda, bread, 'heart healthy' cereals, english muffins, crackers, mayo, cough syrup, yogurt,…

Yes, but I think their larger point is that you can eat carbs, but you shouldn't go nuts. Everything in moderation!

Yeah, but he's talking about the post-NeXT era of Apple. The Newton happened largely during Jobs' absence.

"...but anyone who's watched the company through the years will tell you its real clarion call: It Just Works."

Yes, like handwriting recognition on the Newton PDA, for example.

Maybe you guys need to realize that the problems they are trying to tackle now are really quite challenging. Voice recognition and intepretation is something that academics work on for God's sake. It's just not an easy problem and I commend Apple for having the balls to try it.
