The chances of an iOS virus are pretty slim. It takes a jailbreak to install software outside the App Store.

No, but you have to look for them, so you only seek them out when you are looking for something specific. They are in a completely separate store from the "real" games. One thing Apple did right was put all their apps in one place, not "Games Store" and "Other Games Store."

Well, the first thing would be to not hide it in the virtual back room.

That's an EFI utility, not a standard BIOS. It even says it right in the corner.

Or, spend $5 on a pen and a pad of paper.

Not really. The low-end 13" MacBook Pros start at $1199 and don't have a better graphics card. The same-priced MacBook Air will easily trounce that in terms of disk performance, and with everyday tasks you won't notice the extra speed. And the 13" Air has a higher resolution display for $100 more.

Good to know. I'm kind of lukewarm on Diablo-type games though. I play for maybe a week, then move on. The Air is even capable of playing Portal 2, though obviously not at highest quality.

Unless you are doing some hardcore data hoarding or computation, the Air is a more than capable machine. My only issue with mine is the low RAM ceiling. Still, it handles running Windows 7 on fusion, several remote sessions via VNC, Chrome, and Mail all at once just fine.

For an individual user, Thunderbolt might never be saturated. On a network, however, that can easily be reached.

But this is America! Where it actually matters!

No, I'm pointing out the fallacy of your argument. It's easy to say "Those who can't teach," for example, but people who say that typically have no idea how hard teaching can be.

Yep, the poor have it so great, who needs a middle class?

As many copies as your blog has unique hits?

"Why would anybody want to pay more for the same hardware?"

This thing is a joke. It's not expensive, but it is bulky(and the 3DS is already bulky), and the need for an extra battery is crazy. The thing is massive enough to house an extended battery, and it blocks the cartridge slot.

We plebeians must seem like ants from that horse of yours.

I wouldn't consider excessive drug use to be anywhere near as abhorrent as the belief that one group of people is inferior to another.

I worked at Borders from late '02 to early '03. They were doing quite well then. It's amazing how quickly the tides can turn. But even then, they were making some bad business decisions. Their media department was always ridiculously overpriced.

They are only delaying the inevitable. They should be thankful they have some form of business to fall back on. The world changes. If you can't reshape your model to work with it, it will fail. Look at Borders.
