Yup. And Apple isn’t going to sell something that people only replace once every decade.

I never really understood why everyone thought Apple was going to release a TV. There have been comments from Jobs and Cook about the living room being an area of interest, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a TV. It makes no sense for them to make a TV. There’s really nothing they can do with a TV that they can’t do…

Glad you know how to correct someone without throwing out a random insult.

Glass wouldn’t be good for things like hiking, camping, biking, or other outdoor activities. Steel bottles tend to be a lot better at not making the water taste weird than plastic ones. Just clean them regularly and you’re good.

I just started reading Cryptonomicon. I might have to pick this one up next.

I’ve used a ton of Windows-based laptops and none of them has matched the experience you get with a Macbook. The battery life, the trackpad, the build quality, the reliability, the customer support, etc - no other laptop comes close. You can argue about operating systems - that’s all personal preference. But it terms…

It’s not healthy. Plastic bottles should never be reused more than 2 or 3 times. It’s best to get a steel bottle for a few bucks and reuse that.

So, will he actually be the one tweeting or some press intern pretending to be him?

Good director, good writer, good actor, and Steve Wozniak was a consultant on it. Looks like it might actually be a good movie.

Local zoning laws probably would’t allow it. Modest houses in a neighborhood full of mansions brings down property values in the neighborhood.

Yep. NYC is one of the best large cities for commuting to for work. A ton of people who work in the city actually live in Connecticut, New Jersey and Long Island.

“Blog’ and “journalism” in the same sentence. Hehe.

I’ve always thought about putting a sign in my rear window that says, “BACK THE FUCK OFF” that I could light up whenever someone is tailgating me.

I’ve never used Snapchat, and don’t really care to. Doesn’t it delete sent photos after a certain period of time?

It is, at least the Yosemite version. Can’t remember if it’s on Mavericks. Just click Details in the upper right corner.

I’ve got a perfectly respectable computer.

Having an Apple ID isn’t really a big deal. It’s not like having a Google, Yahoo or Microsoft account where you need to set up an email with their server. I use my Gmail address as my Apple ID. It’s no different than creating an account on Facebook or Twitter or any other site.

You’re giving away a lot more information with Hangouts than you ever would with iMessage. Google just recently confirmed they don’t use end-to-end encryption in Hangouts.

I think it mostly has to do with the way Google’s and Apple’s ecosystems are structured. One of the biggest downfalls of Google’s ecosystem, in my opinion, is the fact that it’s almost all browser-based. While that is great for cross-platform use, it also has its cons.
