How about on a Sony eReader touch? You're saying they have plans for that as well?

What a sad mix of windows and OSX. That Activities button is pure ugliness.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Not really set up for life, just the next decade or so. It's been more than a year since I last faced the usual "office" issues. HN, reddit, slashdot, zerohedge, my twitter feed, stocks and my hobbies keep

Here's an analogy I thought up: You go to a shanty town and announce "free apartments for everybody", and the people are excited and help you build the new apartments. When nearly complete, you announce "oops looks like we didn't design for

The sub-reddits are very static. I see pretty much the same links over the course of a week on my landing page. Plus, the "all" frontpage is now a cesspool of the internet (IMO). Plus, twitter has a pretty good (and addictive) information f

TLDR: I'm justifying my decision to start eating animals again. Born again fundamentalists are the worst kind.

Oh come on now. Nobody expects perfection even from Apple. But we do expect them to have tested the product and fixed the issue before it went to production. A simple lining over the antenna would have sufficed. This episode just illustrate

Given the probability that you will not actually make a million, I think that this is a false goal that will only lead to frustration. My plan is to utilize my savings, after having got out of the 10 year rat race, to do something I enjoy (

I brought it up as an example of a society in peaceful revolt against a high price for goods, doesnt really matter who was setting the price, a tyrannical government or producers. They had civil disobedience which has a few similarities to

They certainly do try to set their own prices. On occasion society revolts, sometimes violently and sometimes not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Satyagraha .

No, I was responding to your statement on copyrights and why society gets to determine that.

> that's the nature of society Haha. Exactly. I think you don't really believe what you read about other societies where this is/was common. And the police are a component of society, but is just having some policemen around enough to p

It's not the needing of others, but the inability to price or pay for societal benefits that leads to the social contract you're basically born into. Another example, what price do you put on having your neighbors being educated or non-viol

Just because a bug appears seemingly randomly does not mean it's not a bug. When I was a kid watching tv with an indoor antenna, anytime there was poor reception I'd go and hold the antenna and reception would improve or get a lot worse. So

Yes they do. But what's fair compensation? If a doctor saves your life, do you then become his slave? Because if not for him, you'd not exist anymore. No? Then it's obvious that the compensation is only upto a point. What if it was some med

No, Apple will make even more money by selling those overpriced plastic shells.

You want to make something, start by first creating the universe (as Carl Sagan put it). Since you didn't, you already owe a large debt to the universe for just existing (assuming a you've a good life) and to a lesser extent to society for

According to the review, the opposite is the case. The demo at WWDC also indicated that the iPhone 4 was worse than the 3GS even for wifi.

Immoral != less moral Your english skills may be less than good, but not non-existent.

Expecting a dowry is indicative of an atavistic belief system. Doesn't usually go well with an ability to work or perform in a modern environment.

> extremely unusual for a person to not follow an extremely rigid career track This is due to a herd mentality and blinkered vision. Not the caste system.

> it is an immoral nihilistic society of "uncultured" pleasure seeking barbarians (rich too ;-)) . You're saying its not? Well, the barbarian part is hyperbole but the rest rings true.

I'm hoping it's something like the crypto algos where computing the hash is easy but getting the original message back (without already knowing the key) is not so easy. In our case, the "simple" algo would be something trivial to implement
