Lazy response, excerpted from a blog post[1]: One particular weirdness and unpleasantry in JavaScript is the set of equality operators. Like virtually every language, JavaScript has the standard ==, !=, <, >, <=, and >= oper

Adjusting for inflation[1], MSFT at the peak in 1999 would be worth over $800B today (AAPL hit $623B today). [1]: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/

I think it's most likely this wasn't reverse engineered, but was somehow leaked by an engineer at Apple. But, if you wanted to try, you can open the simulator binary in a text editor (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/iPhone Sim

Current recycling techniques cannot (supposedly) deal with this, but it's likely that new methods could be developed which could. Ideally, Apple's designers would actually work directly with recycling centers to develop a strategy for effic

According to the WSJ[1], there were 3.1 millionaires in the US in 2010. I'm not sure what he means by "in a random year", but perhaps it means that 1/11 people become a millionaire at some point in their life (even if they don't stay one f
