Assuming that I have a pretty decent broadband connection, how long is the initial load of a streaming 1080p movie? I have a PS3 and the biggest killer that's keeping me from watching anything from the PS Network is that stupid initial load time. If Apple TV's load time is anywhere near that, this tech is not ready…

WHere do set this? I'm assuming you have the stock OS?

Definitely agree, especially with Lou leading the project. I love Lou and all, but damn, he's uh... I'll politely say, "1-dimensional".

Does this not fall under the category of "Misinformation"? In the same way that the old iOS 4 used to show more bars than the actual signal? That was a pretty big cahoot back then. So much that Apple fixed it with the following minor release. How is it that they are allowed to display "4G" when the phone user is…

Honestly, I don't see this as being any dirtier than your average site. Any website you go to that keeps track of any kind of activity you've done in the past (Amazon for example) are either using session cookies or are storing that information on their servers. Haven't you noticed that many browsers attempt to…

"Pimpin' ain't easy"

I miss the ol' chat rooms. Lots of fun conversations with people I'll never know. Everything went all chaotic and unusable once they allowed you to change your font, color and size! :P

Everything about this (aside from the clamshell form factor and notion of double screens) is just so incredibly wrong. This kind of reminds me of The Producers (where they make a movie so bad it flops, so they can post it at a loss and thereby make it profitable).

* Reminder to self: If I ever have a kid, name 'em Steve. Even if it's a girl.

"Which was fortunate for the past residents of our planet like the T-Rex, who obviously weren't well equipped for scratching."

This would definitely be something I'd get into. Instead of HBO Go, why not just get an endorsed HBO Channel on Netflix Streaming? Netflix already has an infrastructure (one that works really well, in my experience). I would be WAY more inclined to paying for this than to have a separate subscription with HBO.

Problem is, if it's a 3rd party doing this, there isn't any kind of "correcting" that Amazon can do. Amazon can't tell them, "Hey, tomatoes go for $1 here, so you can't charge $10." Neither can they say, "You were charging this much for this item last week, so you have to sell it for that much this week." That isn't…

Unlike today's modern classical computers there will be no logic to program...?

Preferential treatment? So I guess giving HTC the Nexus One and giving the Nexus S and Galaxy to Samsung and proclaiming them as "Flagship Models" wasn't?

Actually, I don't think the intern's feelings are hurt at all. They're probably blown away that they got a mention on Gizmodo!

"Fortunately, the power sector is bracing itself for such problems. "The industry is engaged and stepping up widely to respond to emerging cyber threats," one electric-industry official told the WSJ."

I'd hate to say it, but this is not new for Apple. They've been doing this to their own users since at least back in the 90's (when I first jumped into using computers and my friends had Macs). This tendency also extends to their iPhone line, as well (anything before the 3GS has pretty much been dropped).

So which aside from the free AV apps you've mentioned, what other apps would you consider good? I'm currently using Kazpersky, which seems to do a good job, but I really wouldn't know better. I've stopped trusting the free stuff ever since AVG started to bloat.

Maybe, from a developer's stand-point, they would assume that if Apple's guidelines allow it (and got past their approval), that Apple has somehow made it acceptable from a higher level?

How about those peeps who use their iPads as cameras? That just kills me every time I see them. It's ridiculous!
