I wonder what the cost of keeping somebody in jail overnight is? Certainly far more than a dollar.

So if you look at the alternative, which would have been to put a retina display on the mini, it would have been a far more expensive display that needs a larger (more expensive) battery, so it would have been heavier, and needed the same processor as the ipad3(or 4). The fact is that the technology is not there yet…

Maybe I am an outlier of the giz readership, but the number of bottles that I have drunk under $10 outnumbers the ones I have had over $10 by over 50:1. Therefore, even though I love wine, this article was a total waste of electrons.

I suppose you could forward the email to yourself and not include the attachment.

Do you really think that Jobs did not have the product lineup not planned out at least a year in advance? Also, how long do you think it takes to roll out something like these new iPads? All of the products we are seeing now were planned long before Jobs' death, and we will probably start seeing Cook's influence on…

A small rubber band will attach your cord to an unmodified button, and have some stretch to it so it won't detach every time you turn your head.

With the new ipod touch starting at $300, there was no way the mini was going to be less.

If it is less than a year old or you got the applecare, you should take it in to have the drive fixed. It would be free.

Portability, cheaper, better size for kids, lighter weight for more comfort reading...

Teh problem is not the medium. If you receive your tweets or gchats or emails on your phone how is it any better? Get a google voice account and receive your texts on your computer and enjoy the cinematic glory.

Rather than "floating", I think the word that means being suspended by cables is "hanging". A boat floats, and a swing hangs.

Panniers make for a far more stable weight distribution.

That sure sounded like a ping pong ball when it bounced, and if that was a tennis ball, this copter is about 2ft across.

A kindle fire with a keyboard case or a bluetooth keyboard (for those with bigger fingers) would be fine for doing word processing and most types of schoolwork.

Would have been better if it had a card with a couple of dozen scratch and sniff selections that it would scratch on command.

It was always way to expensive. While the other kindles got cheaper, it just stayed too costly.

Anything over about 30ft would have a good chance of killing you, so anything over that is more of the same.

I can just imagine bending over to get something off the table and slipping and impaling myself on the spikes.

So MS is putting themselves in the position of having to whitelist porn sites, or censoring porn sites. Either way they piss somebody off.
