I feel like if the average person knew just how right you are, not just about Boeing but about almost every major company, there would be unending riots across the U.S. Management pretty much across the board only care and understand one th

You're 100% right, except for one detail: human politics. Unfortunately, the organizations here on Earth actually capable of solving the climate change problem (namely, governments) move too slowly and/or are horribly divided agai

I believe in the protection of civil rights, but I also believe in the devastating effects of misinformation. We need to find a way to protect against the latter while affecting very little the former, but we're just not there yet.

What were the tradeoffs? Genuinely curious.

It's actually not that bad. Before I left the Island last year, I had 100MB down / 25MB up in my house. YMMV, but I wasn't even in the metro area, which I imagine has even faster speeds.

I agree with you, and I feel Apple is leaving money on the table by not doing this.

Then pay for it. It's pretty much that simple.

I totally agree with your comment. Is it sad that I've grown to accept the world as it is?

I haven't had this experience at least. I get about 7 hours if I'm doing light web browsing, and about 3.5 if I'm working (Xcode + Parallels running Win7 which is running CodeComposer). First gen MBPr.

One phone. There are companies out there who, generation after generation, make the same mistakes with their products. At least Apple learned from that one.

I'm only speaking for myself here, but I consider Apple to be fundamentally different from most other companies. Most companies seem to have their priorities in this order: Money, money, money, money, product. Whereas Apple seems to be

Why is this? Any technical reasons?

This blew my mind. Cell phones don't work that far out from range of towers, and they sure as hell don't work at the bottom of the ocean. I heard that those were rumors and that they were false, but if they're true, then that
