If my burger shop started selling a Bigmac, McDonalds would be all over it.

Still doesn't matter; his mother was an American citizen, so he's a natural-born citizen regardless of whether he was born in Hawaii, Kenya, or Soviet Russia. If this were not the rule, McCain would not have been eligible for prsidency either- US military bases in foreign countries do not count as US territory when…

Agreed. I'd also rather have an environment that expects and enables developers to easily write memory and computationally efficient code. Complain all you want about Objective-C's reference counting and Cocoa's verbosity, but both are great tools to help developers willing to put the thought into design patterns.

Technically if they did a 1.5x1.5 pixel increase, but even those displays aren't incredibly common yet; it'd drive the device's price up and make developer's lives difficult for several months, not to mention blow a good portion of the performance increases mentioned today, all for a very small visual difference when…

I'd be willing to bet that maybe 40% of the GSM phones will have upgraded to 4.3 by the time the Verizon phone gets the new version. iOS developers have to worry much more about people who simply never plug their devices into a computer more than they have to worry about one hardware version lagging a few weeks.

Honestly, the MB pins and the way case manufacturers often expect you to handle them are two of my biggest gripes with the hardware industry for a long time. I understand that the connectors grew out of a need to save as much space as possible on the mainboard, but that's becoming less and less of an issue over time,…

Can you get it all in the monitor's enclosure?

They just always mistake it for a bigger version of the red one; it's actually a different color, shape, and has a different (more cro-magnon) personality.

How is USB3 any less proprietary than Light Peak? Both are developed by Intel, and both are/going to be published as standards with multiple manufacturers creating them.

so your argument is basically "she was asking for it." Nice of you to dress it up at least.

That's probably how it would work; the root of the directory, including /Applications, would be on the SSD, with the Users folder (and therefore all of the home folders, where documents and data are stored) would be on the HDD. There's been the capability to do this split for a long time now, but it'd be nice to see…

Light Peak actually does provide for a copper-based transfer system within the spec; it's meant as a stop gap because they haven't quite gotten the fiber optics to work in production units.

Wow, maybe it's just the hair, but Ashton Kutcher could definitely play a belivable Jobs.

@ubmic: I was just gonna say this looks like the same spot of woods.

Assuming the point where this happens isn't too low, I'm actually pretty okay with it. It's certainly better than losing all data or getting charged ridiculous overage fees.

If it makes Minister Zdrojewski feel any better, when we studied the Holocaust in middle school (and then again in high school), the location of Auschwitz was always on one of the quizzes, and at least 60% of the class missed it each time, putting Germany instead.

@JomTones: I completely agree with this. The entire reason the location is more than a ghost town relies on Poland's desire to make it known how many people suffered under the nazi regime, and to declare that it was never okay with Poland.

@wætherman: right. The entire scientific community, for instance.

This is certainly useful, but honestly my reader still has a hard time reading PDFs designed for normal letter paper. I've yet to find a tool to reset the text itself. Does anyone know of any?

@Dave Ma: That didn't used to be the case back in cable's early days- they tried, and customers complained. It wasn't until people just accepted cable as a pseudo-utility bill that they were able to start sneaking commercials for things besides their own network's shows.
