I could give a rats ass about the paint on my speakers, all I care about it the sound and the price

no don't you get fresh with me amazon.

why didnt you just use a back up app that stores the app locally and restores it locally

how exactly can a flood make a deactivated reactor dangerous?

This nuclear power plant is quite old, and was built wit what was likely the most current technology at the time. Thats the problem with hindsight, newer tech is always safer than the last generation, but that doesn't mean the last generation is cheap to replace when it comes to massive projects like power plants.

as long as you have an old enough phone that only plugs into the phone line you can still use a landline during an outage. If your phone also plugs into an electrical outlet then you probably can't use it during a power outage

but did the lady actually remove the costs related to the landline?

It seems to me that most of the best products on the web start as small projects that grow because they provide a service that most people who use it actually want/need. For example, Google search started small and grew slowly because it was the first search engine that was really great at search, the same can be said…

so just long enough for USB 3.0 to really take off in the PC market and for most peripherals manufacturers to adopt usb 3.0 aswell

Just because its a stupidly simple port design doesn't mean that the exact specs of the port aren't patented

And this is why I like that Windows Phone Marketplace has the option to allow trial versions of apps. Usually the trials allow you to use all the core features and there are a few extras that you can't use, or they limit the capabilities of the app (like on a turn-by-turn navigation app you are limited to trips under…

It would be nice for someone to deconstruct the virus and see what exactly it does, and how much lulz it might have created.

Actually that is quite smart assuming that Apple's patent simply covers the magnetic connector, and there in not something in there about making the power port itself proprietary.

but Sony uses a USB 3.0 based connector for their implementation. Also, they are calling it Lightpeak to avoid licensing fees with Apple. Based on that it seems like Thunderbolt (Lightpeak using miniDisplayPort) may end up being Apple only for the near future.

WolframAlhpa has partnered with Bing, and as a Bing user its freaking wonderful

it sounds like hes describing the android button schema not the WP7 button schema. Maybe he's confusing Ice Cream Sandwich with Mango

sorry didnt realize i left a hanging fragment. "its likely only to be used for high speed off-road missions, or on-road humanitarian aide/support."

I personally love the way it looks, but I think that's partially because my engineering background shows me the beauty of the aerodynamics contained in the design. Not only do I see the lines of the panels, but I can imagine the flow characteristics of the gas flow as this beast moves through the air, and that is a…

I was so close to shooting milk out my nose at work when I read your comment. well done!

there is a huge difference between build quality and build feel. Build quality is objective, and centers around tolerances, and material choices. Dell, HP, and Apple generally have the same build quality, however the brushed aluminum feels very "high quality" to most people (personally I hate the texture), and that is…
