Haha, get that kid a fixed gear bike and some skinny jeans!

It's because you logic is totally flawed; you have no frame of reference from which to make those claims. How many apps would be in the store of Apple allowed users to take apart their iPhones and write their own software without having to pay an annual fee? Without knowing that, knowing that there are 600,000 apps in…

Good point, the kids who can afford to go to WWDC obviously don't have to worry about money too much. This clearly proves that the financial impediments that apple puts in front of developers who want to use their platform (buy a mac, give Apple $100 year even if you don't want to publish to their market) are not as…

Also: "Sorry Steve, that leg's gonna have to come off..."

Also, seriously? Apple is trying to patent the Fake ID now? Another victory for our failed Patent system

I know there are a lot of Apple Fanboys on here that think this is Apple looking out for their privacy; but it's quite possible this is just the opposite. By patenting the technology Apple ensures that this kind of privacy won't become open and widely available; and if it does become available to Apple's OS(s) you can…

Yeah, that was supposed to be a reply to a post where it would have made much more sense. #actuallyIUseLinux

Because people who use mac or already dead to the rest of the word, it's too late for a will

That has to be one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read about Linux. Linux is amazingly ubiquitous. A huge majority of the internet is served up by Linux based servers. The Linux kernel is also what powers Android. Many enterprise-level products, including most Supercomputers, are designed, deployed and…

This is a waste of time and taxpayer dollars! They need to be testing helicopter engines from the deck; to see how close we can get to getting the damned ship into the air!

I would have put it in a short term interest yielding account at another bank; and then stalled for as long as I could before giving it back to BofA. Play dumb for a while, respond slowly to their requests, wait for them to threaten legal action. A few months in an account at 5% or so would be $12,000 or so. Free…

Really shouldn't you compare that $85 license to the cost of iOS as well? I know that Apple doesn't charge themselves a licensing fee (technically) but I am sure they are wrapping up the cost of iOS development in their tablet (and phone) prices. All things considered; windows may prove cheaper than iOS.

You guys are all just not seeing the obvious application for this kind of notebook: leave it in your desk and rig it to an alarm and/or high voltage source. That way, if anyone ever tries to steal your passwords (which are actually safely hidden in your non-obvious folder) they get a reminder of why it is you are not…

Fragmentation is probably the number one word I hear from anti-android advocates about why iOS is the better platform. It's true, no question, that Android has more fragmentation that iOS, and on top of that, since Android is deployed across multiple hardware platforms from multiple manufacturers, the possible…

I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't specifying a feature for mobile use; just a very useful application for Street View. I don't own an iPhone, and I never will, because I hate Apple.

I have no double that Google made this move very deliberately, even if you're statement is true, which I really doubt. Maybe Google looses some money from the iOS crowd; but Apple looses even more money having to develop and maintain its own mapping software from scratch. That's money they can't spend on the patent…

If you've ever been house/apartment hunting on Craigslist, then StreetView is super useful for scouting out their neighborhood before you spend time actually going there. I know its a fringe use case.

Hi, I'm Sam Biddle and I don't actually like any of my Facebook friends.

No problem, I had another comment here on this article that I included this link, but I can post it here as well. Here is an article From the American Heart Association that details the serious risk of cardiac death associated with Tazer use:
