You say that now, but in 20 years when you are being hunted down by killbots, Alzheimer's is going to sound pretty good by comparison

I never said guys could not be manipulative also; are you sure you aren't just inferring misogyny into my comment?

Don't you remember high school? Manipulating the thoughts and feelings of those around them is what ALL teenage girls do; it's not a superpower.

I'm not sure a "real cyclist" would have done much better here. You probably noticed that the whole vehicle only floated a few inches off the ground; any further and the air wouldn't be pushing back from against the floor. A good cyclist could have gone a lot longer, but probably not much higher.

Alternatively, if you have a smartphone with 3G/4G service, there's a pretty good chance you can share that service with WiFi tethering. I do this all the time with my Droid* and my Kindle. Who would pay for data on their phone AND their tablet?

This is an improvement for china, usually they throw the whole girl down the well.

You're right, they should have named it "new Windows Phone" that would have been much better

No, you said this:

I gave up on trying to get people to understand this distinction. I think it was because of the email Steve Jobs wrote about HTML5 being an alternative to Flash for interactive browser based media and applications. Now everyone thinks that using JS based elements in HTML is new to HTML5 or something.

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…
