Because this isn't intended as your primary computer. This is intended as a conference room or classroom computer, one that may be running something as simple as PowerPoint 90% of the time.

This would primarily be used in small to mid-sized conference rooms and classrooms, allowing the presenter to interact with the computer and the content they are presenting simply by touching the screen.

It is in their best interest to get you correct information. Otherwise, they risk creating badwill (and badwill doesn't get limited to one customer; it spreads like a virus as one consumer tells others). In addition, they end up with product getting potentially damaged, or at the very least returned, which isn't a…

A quote from Sports Night is appropriate here: "If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. And if you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you." Lynch could just very well be one of those smart people who disagrees.

Interesting video! I'm sure I'm not alone, but I never really stopped to think that the music from the trailer wasn't necessarily the music from the soundtrack of the movie, or that there were composers/musicians that specialized in creating trailer music.

I'm not sure how the map is supposed to relate to the article. There are two locations listed, Thule and Fylingdales, that aren't even mentioned in the article.

To reply to myself, here's an actual, legitimate review of the product I found: http://www.bevreview.com/2013/02/18/review-mountain-dew-kickstart-orange-citrus-fruit-punch/

How about a counterpoint review, Giz? Maybe from someone who hadn't made up their minds from well before they wrote the "review."

Yeah, except I think that Frank was referring to the lines of people I see at Starbucks every morning, ordering drinks that only have a passing resemblance to coffee, drinks like a venti mocha caramel frap extra whip extra foam.

Mitsubishi didn't lose their way this year. They've been lost in the weeds for so long they're bordering on being as irrelevant as Suzuki was when they left the US market. The description you gave of their auto show booth has been true for at least the last 5-6 years. The last time they had any kind of buzz around…

There were several more that came true in that article that you missed. What about the "Man will see around the world" one? Seems like that one came true as well, although there isn't need to go to the theater to do it these days. Also, "Photographs will be telegraphed" also predicts sending photos over the internet.…

The trailer was posted to Apple's Movie Trailers site (http://trailers.apple.com/). Someone pulled the video from there and republished it to YouTube.

Correction: the title of the movie is not "Into the Darkness." It is "Star Trek Into Darkness." No "the," and "Star Trek" is a part of the title.

Based on the example, this actually made the bill *harder* for me to grasp, since it drilled down instead of up, and distracted with lots of useless visual effects. As a result, about halfway through the video I lost track of how the bits of information they were explaining came together to give me the total billed…

It's been decades since I had to use a graphing calculator (and about as long since I knew where mine was), but I recall games for ZShell on the TI-85 as having much, much better graphics. I recall one of my favorites was a port of Boulder Dash. That and other games like it were how I managed to stay awake through…

Surprisingly, if I'm interpreting the pictures correctly, it looks like the ram ISN'T soldered. It's just not user-accessible, as it requires a significant (total) teardown of the machine to get to the RAM slot, located on the backside of the logic board.

I have an average PC, on an average cable modem connection at home, and I was able to buy one, and my sister (similar setup, except she has a rather old Mac Mini) was equally successful. We didn't make use of any sort of scripting or automation software. We simply were on the lightning deal page watching and clicked…

It sounds more like this will be a movie in three *acts*, not three scenes. There's a big difference between the two. Each act will almost certainly contain multiple scenes.

You know, if this was just a repost of a Lifehacker article, it would be one thing. I don't expect the technical expertise level of those articles to be the same as those of a technology-focused blog like Gizmodo. But to post a serious suggestion to use WEP instead of WPA2 on Gizmodo? Insert giant sigh and facepalm.
