Of course, they'll need to line the slots with something soft to keep the furniture from getting scuffed all the time. And you won't be able to put anything very heavy into the upper cubes.

Pure genius.
It will gradually turn green. Next stupid question?
And it will be a matter of weeks before some third-party manufacturer comes up with a magnetically-attached, bluetooth-connected, battery-powered cover for the iPad. There's no proprietary technology in this thing. I guarantee iPads will have one long before the Surface even ships.
Physical product, no; software products, yes.
"Cars" was their best merchandising movie — the Hot Wheels-sized toys were in the stores without end after the first movie was released, with new toys being made year-round. It was Disney's best chance to make more money, since merchandising ALWAYS makes more profit than the movie itself.
[gizmodo.com] — You're not objective, Mr. Headline Editor, so please quit saying that already.
The "whatever reason" is that keyboards are a lot easier, and faster, to type on than a flat touchscreen.
This is why Apple doesn't announce products until they're complete — they announce the complete device, the selling price, and if they're not on sale by the end of that day, a specific target within a few is announced. Much easier to get customers excited about products they can actually preorder.
Battery issues are typically one of the last things to be sorted out — premature optimization and all that.

"Why not: 1) tap settings, and 2) gesture (swipe left/right) over the word 'brightness' rather than necessitating the 3rd step of tapping brightness and then moving the slider? Removing that last utterly inane (and equally as frustrating) step is a 33% improvement in user efficiency."
I can't help but remember one 'Friends' episode where Joey got a job instructing a group of dancers for a musical because he lied on his resume. "Oh, you won't need any help from me," the director said. "Not with your experience!"
I'm assuming it should be $6,000. Of course, it also helps if you have all the members of the team shoot each other as their roles are completed, and then have a school bus back into the building as your getaway vehicle.
I have to be honest, Google StreetView was never as useful as I'd imagined it would be. Personally, I can live without iOS copying that functionality.
The dongles are for devices you probably AREN'T going to be carrying with you, or for keeping in your bag just in case you need them at a client meeting. The real purpose of Thunderbolt is to give you single-plug access to a large monitor, keyboard, and storage at your desk, and then you can just unplug one cord and…
I can't wait to see what a 3/4-terabyte SSD will cost. (Still want one, though.)
...never mind.
Warm air rises, cold air sinks. When the two try to do so in the same space at the same time, you get storms. Greater temperature differential = stronger storms. The science is a bit more complicated than that, but that's what it boils down to.
