I returned my phone because it had a chip on it (and I call it a chip when i very sensitively run my finger over the abrasion and can't feel an actual chunk out of it), and over the course of ONE DAY in my (otherwise empty) pocket it proceeded to get several more chips off it. There were also dents on the phone from…

I don't think any aluminum iMacs have ever been VESA mountable

Dude, use the thunderbolt port on an external drive... if you're the kind of person that would care about how a 5400RPM drive would feel for video editing, you shouldn't be doing much editing while keeping your assets on the primary drive at all.

Also according to this website the recommended viewing distance by THX certification is 3 feet away for a 27" display, so yeah if you're viewing it at 32" (3 feet seems too far for me personally) I would say the 1440p 27" iMacs are definitely retina.

The current 1440p iMacs are technically retina if viewed from 32 inches away, so I don't know how much higher resolution you're really expecting the iMacs to be. http://isthisretina.com/

At 32 inches away your display becomes retina:

My mom is also a public school special education teacher, and the classes all have iPads and my mom claims it's made a HUGE difference. The educational apps that are available for it are fantastic (though still room for improvement... even worse for android).

Yeah, remember when people used to be attractive back in the 60's when the whole "bathing" thing became as passe as paying for stuff.

I really can't wait to go back to my old alma mater and walk over to see the shuttle, but it still does not sit well with me that they had to cut down 400 elder trees to do this, without having proper objective environmental surveys done:

As a matter of diplomacy I will +1 this.

And have you ever actually tried to kick the other person's back and have them complain to the flight attendant and have it result in that person being forced to put their seat up?

Have they ever forced the person in front of you to put their seat up after you've asked them and they said no?

I am pretty sure that if you bang and kick my seat, or if I can get witnesses to prove you're speaking loudly to just harrass me (for example, you would probably also be harrassing the person sitting next to me or the person sitting next to you), I can get you in trouble with the flight attendants and even the TSA and…

You take the bus or the train if you can't be comfortable with your long legs. Or take first class. I don't understand why you think I should be the one to accommodate you, and more importantly at the moment the airlines and the government agree with me.

actually you are NOT entitled to do that, as that would be harrassment of a passenger (in this overly sensitive atmosphere the air marshall can get called in if you were to call me that and I complain). If you wanna say that in your head, you're totally entitled to do that, you can call me worse things and even…

First of all I appreciate your calm reasoning, I hope I come across as similarly civil.

No, I can't do it to piss off others behind me (if someone is doing this go ahead and call the stewardess), but yes, as a matter of fact, I CAN do it for the hell of it, just like for the hell of it I can watch the in-flight entertainment even if you're trying to sleep and are super sensitive to light (though as with…

I put the onus on you (the person in the seat behind) because if the onus was on me (the person reclining) then I wouldn't have a button to recline my seat, YOU would. Then that means I have to ask you if you don't mind pushing the button to let me recline. The fact that I have access to the amenity and you don't…

I have a motion sickness problem that makes it incredibly uncomfortable to ride in planes for over an hour without the seat reclined, but thanks for assuming you're entitled to make me feel guilty for using the service as it was intended to (though really if all you're doing is rolling your eyes I don't really care,…

You're right, and reclining ability does not automatically qualify as rude behavior. The recliner is there for the passenger's discretionary use, it is not there for "emergency use only," as car horns are implied for. They are like the in-flight entertainment, you may be trying to sleep and the person next to you has…
