Mother of god.

I think I may be feeding a troll here but... Plenty of other modern laptops don't have an IRDA ports anymore. If you absolutely must have it (on whatever machine) just get a USB to IRDA adapter.

I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't include this either in the iOS Google App OR as a seperate app. Unless of course Apple doesn't approve it but I think that would open a (large) can of worms.

So if I'm reading this correctly, if you want a laptop that beats the Air in one respect, you have to comprimise on 7 other features?

I love how this machine pretty much sets the new benchmark for what laptops should be but there are so many people finding faults with it (kinda reminds me of [bit.ly] )

HiDPI has existed on OS X for a while now. Apple has been pushing for 'resolution independence' in their OS for a while now.

From the article (last paragraph):

I'm not a fan of getting tattoos but at lease the Zune one looks kinda cool and doesn't specifically have a brand name across it.

Look - I'm just as tired as everyone over Apple suing for trivial items but Jesus Christ. I read a good chunk of these comments about "Apple patents shapes" and "the patent system is broken" and "I'm not buying Apple anymore" and I'm floored.

Fantastic news. This is (hopefully) another step in the direction of commoditization of carriers.

If you're running Adblock, try turning it off for *.gizmodo.com and see if that makes a difference. For some reason when I view giz w/ Adblock on it.... becomes.... very.... slow... and... almost.... unusable....

You're fine, they stop at the border.

Mother of god. I already have 100Mbps connection through Charter that has spoiled me. 3x faster would be amazing. I'd have to upgrade my NAS to even write that fast.

So this is how the 1% thins the herd, it all makes sense now.

People who are taking their PC to Geek Squad probably store all their passwords on a piece of paper anyways. Or in a word file sitting on their desktop called PASSWORDS.DOC

Yeah, No. Verizon would immediately tell their customers "SEE GUYS THIS IS WHY WE HAD TO KILL UNLIMITED DATA"

AT&T *will* follow suit.

At this point I'd be very surprised if iOS 6 AND 'The New iPhone' *aren't* announced at WWDC.

It works fine on my wife's Kindle Fire (CM7). That said however it's a phone optimized version of the software so the interface is a little too dumbed down for a tablet. I'm sure the tablet version for Android is right around the corner and hopefully matches the iPad version.

I'd have to argue that if you need to read a guide such as this to perform these actions - you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
