I once worked in UK for a few months and one of my coworkers was a black woman from South Africa. She once told me my english pronunciation was pretty good and she hates when she can't understand how some brits talk. Was she also racist?

my thoughts exactly. Do regular batteries even last 14 years when kept in original packaging?

I actually agree with you, non-replaceable components, in machines where dimensions are not that crucial, piss me off. At least this thing does not have everything soldered on and you can replace CPU, RAM and hard drive.

My high school teacher always said that batteries don't grow on trees. Well not anymore, they don't... Thank you, Apple!

Thank you, kind sir.

I can't take credit for that, the quotes are on IMDb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1094581/quotes

I am Elon Musk, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose…

The charger uses standard USB port to connect your device, so I would assume it could charge anything that connects to USB. For example, I use charger that came with Nook Color to charge my iPhone and iPad (the charger have higher amperage output).

I know, Gizmopat is the one talking about W8

I was following the Gizmodo live blog from the Apple keynote yesterday and if I recall correctly, Tim Cook boasted how iPad accounts for more than 90 % of internet usage on tablets. So while Android is more prevalent as mobile OS, shouldn't the commission take real usage into account?

The article clearly states Windows 7. Furthermore, you can install different browser in the metro interface, there is Chrome and Firefox available (both still in beta)

Joshua Topolsky on The Verge said a lot of negative things about the Surface RT, but his review is still much better than this crap.

I bought the One V for my mother and it is an excellent phone. The build quality is very solid, the screen is beautiful and even the slower processor is not usually a problem. I really love it and consider buying it for myself as well

Cindy: What happened to Sully?

Any word about improvements exclusive for the iPad? I was hoping for some split-screen action or revamped springboard. You know, the things that doesn't make sense for iPhone, but would be beneficial for the bigger screen. The update is nice so far, but unfortunately (for me), covers crap I won't use (again, for me).

Thanks for the tip. Built-in would be more convenient than carrying external flash, not to mention the price of those.

You are right about the sledgehammer. Try capturing a group photo or generally people and "bombard" them with seizure inducing strobe lightning from flash.

I used to have a Sony F-717, which had something called Hologram Autofocus. It projected a mesh of red lines and could therefore focus correctly under every condition. I have been disappointed in every camera ever since, especially my Canon DSLR. How come every camera doesn't have this awesomeness?

At first glance, I thought it was the thing you lay in concrete floor to reinforce it. Simple and minimalist design can be quite beautiful, this actually belong in your garage
