@microinjectionist: That is exactly what I want. A cookie printer.

@bert.plunkett: Very informative post! It's a shame the news services don't tell us this stuff.

@SparklyJesus: Zeus was the Zuckerberg of his day. He poked everybody, usually in the form or a goat or horse or something really odd.

I would really like to know what's going to happen to them when they get out of there alive.

@HQRaja: Oh please, name one device that could replace all those books.

@corpore-metal: I have added these to my weekend film festival list. Good choices!

@chris.edgette: Jumping on your bandwagon - excellent points. My father tried to make a go of solar energy systems in 1982, which I have to say was not a great time to have tried that. I installed a fair number of very expensive roof panels, not a single one of which ever paid for itself. We had to pay the electrician…

At a previous job I had a very efficient secretary (that's administrative assistant for you kids out there) who kept me from collecting old reports, gadgets, etc. by organizing the living crap out of them and compelling me to decide which few would be kept. The rest just disappeared when I wasn't looking.

Cheaper at a strip club. For $300 in Paris, you can get more than a view.

@rxe7en: Cheer up. 20 years from now some new "visionary" director will come up with a "re-imaging" of the whole Star Wars set.

@descendency: Bummer. That would seem to prove the point, but I can't be sure.

@Dacker: Im told the reason is quality control. They try to build them ALL fast, but only a certain percentage actually pass testing at each potential speed.

@rxe7en: And then Han breaks into a musical number. Because after years of denying the Star Wars Holiday Special, George spends millions to add ... a musical number to the scene with Jabba the Hutt.

@AnthonyG123: But the first three are the best ones. Oh, wait, you meant...

@techynottreky: I like to look at the part of the screen I choose. With 3D, if you don't look at the part you were meant to watch you'll get that headache. If you do that in 2D, you just see some blurry parts, which I find are often interesting things to see.

@Mufinn Man: They do not appear to be sexy. They appear to be a classic sitcom family: overweight Dad, overweight kid, slightly hot Mom. You wonder how that guy got that girl, and you realize alcohol probably played a factor.

Those units are hard to believe. Our latest computer room is 700KW. I think the solar panels are really 10,500W, not KW.

Damned elusive? What is this kid, Richard Danby?

@johnmc: I don't care about approval. For example, there's an open source SOCKS proxy for iOS that can be used for limited free tethering. Stuff like this can be done using normal Xcode. Adding multitasking can't be done because Apple limits that API. What I want is an Xcode way of doing that even if you're not…

@Celtic1888: Is it even possible to write these apps using the standard Xcode tools from Apple? I haven't found anything that indicates that is true.
