That's not just rumors. In the interview, Craig Federighi said: > I’d say longer than six months ago. But I think we designed ourselves into a bit of a thermal corner, if you will. We designed a system that we thought with the kin

What you should do instead is use an en or em space. Some people put a regular space and then a non-breaking space after the period. But this is a really bad idea, because if the line is broken after the sentence, the non-breaking space is

On a side note, in the US there's no actual requirement for cell phones to have GPS. They can use triangulation off of cell towers, so long as they can get the required accuracy.

I think people put too much significance into the name change. They often referred to themselves as just “Apple” since at least the early 1980's. They dropped “Computer” from their name just weeks before they announced the deal with Ap

I agree. I don't know if Apple would do it, but it would be great if they offered a Mac Pro with iMac style chips (i5 and integrated graphics at the low end) with prices starting at $1000 or $1500. Using the same case as the Xeon Mac P

It's a often repeated idea that the dangers of making mistakes with C code will scare the programmers into writing correct code. This completely fails in my experience. I've worked on large C projects that suffered a ton of leaks,
