You know, this may be part of the reason Apple decided to buy Beats. They probably looked at how much sales revenue was being generated from selling premium audio* products with Apple products and realized they could take a lot bigger cut of that pie. These products have ridiculous margins and right now they are…

I appreciate how you spell Whisky.

Unnamed Jalopnik Editor here. If cheap whisky is your bent then, sure, why not? It doesn't make it taste that much better, but it's definitely an improvement. Also, maybe just invest that money in better whisky?

You would have to take a defense acquisition basic course to understand the amount of paperwork and processes involved in the development of a new weapon system. I will try to explain: Most of the time there are 3 entities, the contractor (Raytheon), the lead government agency in charge of the project and the…

So, yeah: a 155 round is cheap-cheap. The guidance head (really a special kind of fuze) is several times the cost of the round itself. However, what you're gaining is incredible precision, which increases the likelihood of accomplishing your mission and lessens the likelihood of collateral damage and fratricide.

Not to be a dick, but laser guided artillery has been around since at least 2000. I am a retired cannon fire direction control specialist. Look up the copperhead round. Not sure the need for GPS if it's laser guided. Any good unit can get the round within 50 meters of the target, and the laser would do the rest.…

In all fairness, should the Excalibur (or Excalibur S) be deployed in LA, there wouldn't be much collateral damage to begin with. I saw a demo video somewhere, they turned the artillery piece deliberately 30 degrees off target and the shell STILL hit dead centre. That is damn impressive!

Am I the only person in the world who failed to see the appeal of Minecraft and it's insanely time consuming, ugly, pixelated creations?

"Lazed the wrong target. Sorry, Sir. Won't happen again, Sir"

Yeah for commenters like you.

iMac has a display. Mac Pro has a GPU that would make the iMac GPU cry. Also, the server CPU in the Mac Pro would still poop on the iMac CPU.

Dell announced a 5k monitor for $2500.... so, yes you can.

give it to them? Nah, i'm saying just use them to get a discount.

It uses a mobile processor, not a desktop processor. There are dual core mobile Haswell i7s. The top end in the new mini appears to be a i7-4578U, which is considerably slower, from a CPU benchmarking standpoint, than the i7-3615QM in the 2012 mini, although it's more efficient, which might be important to you if it…

industry professional

I don't need a 5k screen and neither do you

gotta get those exclusives

LOL I love how you mentioned both consoles. You can just buy a high end PC and a 50 inch TV, for both gaming (Steam) and productivity.

What a waste. I'll just buy myself 2 top of the line pc and the a xbox one and a ps4 thanks

...Because of course they finally released a long awaited update 3 months after I bought one as my home theatre hub.
