@Jonny_eh: You're better off anyway. I don't really want my camera doing all the work for me. It's OK for phone shots (which I don't care that much about) but not for something I shoot w/ my 'real' camera. For that I'd do post-processing w/ Photoshop or some other s/w.

@redfalcon: I'll readily grant you that I'm not a chef, so I don't expect to be able to track lots of things as a layman. However, my point about lots of pots (and handles) still stands. I don't think it'd be convenient to handle all that stuff physically, and esp. not if two people are falling all over each other.

@AFB: No, I get it. The surface is tailorable to the pots put on it and that's cool. I was just remarking on the uselessness of supporting up to "21 unique signatures." At some point, usually at anything over 4, the number of pots on a cooktop becomes unwieldy.

@douglas18: Yes, and thanks for the condescending tone of that question.

@captfoss: Ah, you're assuming I don't have VERY LARGE HANDS

@Traveshamockery: Good point. In the future we'd make pots and pans out of non-conductive material so that we could pick them up w/ our bare hands, thus eliminating the need for handles. I guess we'd have to cook by radiation or something since heat wouldn't work...

This is doing something just because it might look cool.

@Apostropartheid: Oh, HELL no. Since I'm a 'perfessional', I work as long as I have to in order to meet my commitments.

I've been working from home full time for about seven years. Love, love, love it. Never want to go back to an office job again.

We're squarely in the Mac camp (MBP, iMac, two iPhone 4's) but I have to say I find a lot of iPhone users annoying as hell.

@myfriendtheZebra: Yeah, but then your coffee would get distorted at the edges, and would taste better at some sizes than others...

So, if I already have a snazzy magic mouse, the only thing this trackpad gives me is the pinch/zoom thing? And not having to move the mouse around?

@Drummertist v.2: Get off my damn lawn!

@Drummertist v.2: Hmph, any time you could use 'k' in 'kbps' you were living the high life.

@HoboJoe: This has become kind of a language-shorthand-gate.

@Acheron's Grief: I just went back and listened to his talk again to see what I missed. I don't think I missed anything. He explicitly says that he can't give absolute call drop numbers because they're proprietary. Every time he talks about call drops, he says 'per 100' i.e. a percentage. So the iPhone 4…

@TurdFerguson74: Assuming he was talking in absolute numbers. Did he say that the 3GS dropped 1 call per 100? (He might have, but if he did, I missed it.)

@Jerry Wall: I should go back and listen to his speech again. When I heard it, I made the connection that 1 out of 100 was referring to 1%. If he meant absolute numbers then the percentage would be something else and I owe Matt an apology.

@smertlagel: It's not an issue. It has 1% more dropped calls, not 100% more.

Let me guess, math wasn't your major, right? That's OK, it wasn't mine either.
