Except that they posted the headers of an e-mail from "Tom" to Jobs, so they necessarily show absolutely no Apple-related mail servers. (And that's, of course, on top of the fact that headers are incredibly easily faked.)

Additionally, Daniel Eran Dilger* claims the purported recipient of the e-mail tried to sell him the e-mail exchange two days prior, raising the question of whether BGR money changed hands. *I take everything he writes under his own name an

He's contrasting the "rounded blob of plastic" (the design of the 3G and 3GS) with the original iPhone design, which had a mostly-metal flat back, and, as you acknowledged, was heralded at its release.

I've always interpreted hypermiling as "optimizing fuel usage to the furthest extent possible". Considering the #1 priority in designing airliners is aerodynamic efficiency/fuel usage/CASM, an ~8% decrease in fuel usage is absolutely nothin

I'd read somewhere a few months back that FIFA had asked its refs to ask players if they see a possible handball but aren't personally sure, spurred by Thierry's uncalled handball against Ireland (the one that caused all of the outrage a wh

The commenters picked up on that right away, and one of them was "highlighted" by a NYT editor, so I'm hoping Pogue follows up on it.

I believe the current Xen hypervisor uses about 128MB now, but yeah — I sincerely doubt it's out of strict necessity, but out of wanting to ensure not to overload each machine with too many nodes. They wouldn't bump down to 22GB because I

For the record: The Planet will cut your server, wipe it, and reassign after 5 days of non-payment. That's standard operating procedure at every server host I've ever used. I'm honestly surprised that Linode gives you 20 days; that's very

If the reports are true, and iPhone 4 has generated over 10 times the pre-orders that 3GS did, then I don't think you can fault AT&T or Apple a whole lot for the screw-ups yesterday, or for the lack of inventory (the supposed AT&T d

What am I missing, why is this useless? You can specify your budget as the max price, and the "Thinking about" to August 2010. Granted, you can't specify "mid-August", but within a single month, usually airfares only change based on the

I am rather surprised that they (seemingly) didn't use a 5GHz 802.11n network. N suffers from some reliability issues as well, but the channels are much more spread out and much less utilized (the MiFi doesn't support it, last I checked),

That doesn't eliminate the problem of interference from all of the other networks on the same channel (or on the neighboring channel that shares part of the spectrum), which are all using omnidirectional antennas. It can help, certainly, b
