   I didn't know that about the ASR-33 (haven't actually seen one), all my experience has been with unix and PC keyboards (plus some WYSE terminals). I agree with it being confusing to have the same key jump around while you type, which is why

   Oddly enough the ctrl key in the home row is a Unix thing (I think it's a Sun invention, but I don't recall). On the original space cadet keyboard (and all the Symbolics keyboards), Rub Out is located where modern day Caps Lock is found (s

   I'm not sure if they changed anything, but Youtube has been the first search result for me since I upgraded my iPhone. It's not in the search results for the iPad since Google hasn't released Youtube for the iPad yet (or at least last time

   This seems to be based on an upgrade to the EFI firmware, in addition to the 10.8.2 update. While I've got verified backups for the OS, I'm not in the habit of regularly backing up the EFI firmware, nor do I know how I would restore it on

   If that's the case, then why does UIWebView under-perform Mobile Safari? (I know Mobile Safari uses nitro, but I have no idea what UIWebView uses under the covers). Also, Apple's known for being a bit slow to contribute some things back to

    My questions about the data center are what kind-of climate controls they're using (not listed in the article) and how they're making sure that the generator and UPS are always in good condition. At my previous job we were able to correlat
