This is such a tough one, especially without knowing just where the photographer was... It may look like he was close enough to run and help, or at least try, but a professional camera w/ high end lens could easily have put him 200 rather than 20 feet away.

My guess is that it will be like the first HD & Plasma TVs— massively expensive and targeted at the wealthy & aficionados, and if it catches on there will be an exponential decrease in price as the market expands and the initial infrastructure costs are covered

Cured through the power of Semantics!

No, it's not all custom... it's basically standard server hardware with an extra security wrapper and custom software.

Could be, they now own Cadburry's though

It's a double mis-direct. The posting & swift removal are meant to imply a forgery, while the subtle-minded operator will see it for the true advertisement it is and apply, or not, as they see fit. It need not be said that the "fake looking rock" is not the place to inquire, but lacking a desire for added competition…

$10 a year would be an instant buy, though I'd probably spend more if I had to. But only if I never had to login, from any computer, ever. That would be a strong barrier to use.

Yeah, it's a bit like saying "speaking my genome aloud is a really long word!"

I lost all my teeth, spent a month in rehab, and have a life-long inability to experience natural happiness... but look, no Flu!

With respect to those few good journalists, bad journalists have killed journalism. Along with a print news industry that failed to change with the times and then made shoot-yourself-in-the-foot and cut-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face business decisions.

"All your base" may be overstating it... but I suppose "A handful of your base" doesn't have the same cultural cache

Given his less-than-cordial relationship with the truth, how do you know he's actually in his home now?

Is the zombie self-aware and thinking? If so, then != zombie. If not, it's not really a love interest, more of an elaborate non-human fetish

30 seconds later they promptly forgot it had ever happened

Maybe I would know what you were talking about here if the people in the photo weren't pixelated out.

Is it the relative weakness of the dollar? Or is McD just pricier in Japan? Because 150 Yen looks like $1.88, which is only about 0.10 cents cheaper than what I pay for a large fried in my local McD. What's the normal price of a large fries there?

You may be right about better visual compatibility for apps, but that is not at all the justification Tim gave here.

As long as the thing doesn't break or feel cheap I don't think most consumers have a build quality metric built into their buying decisions.

The kindle fire is doing pretty well. maybe that's only the low price, but if so, then the smaller iPad mini will allow Apple to shore up that flank with their own lower-cost offering. It may be less about consumer desires than it is about strategic defense against a competitor solidifying their foot hold in the…

Bye bye Gizmodo ban on "attending" Apple events!
