After using my first MBP for a while, I'm kind of regretting getting the 15 inch. With the high-res screen, and as long as you have good eyes, the 13 seems just as functional and more portable. I love using my girlfriend's. My two cents,

It's not as huge a leap as Windows XP to 7 (or Vista I guess ...), but it does bring around some improvements that people are going to be excited about.

Exactly. There are tradeoffs to be made when making any architectural decision. PHP may not be the right choice for someone, but it might for someone else in a different situation that values the characteristics you highlighted. However,

I think its important focus on the development of your soft/social skills in addition to your technical skills. The combination of both will help you get far in interviews. Otherwise, if you go the entrepreneurial route, they will help you

Live search was awesome to find out about breaking news before even the news wires got it. When there was a bomb scare in Times Square, I remember reading the tweets and getting some great information.

It's a shame I paid for all that college and knowing this would have greatly expanded my understanding of a lot of what I learned in my math classes. EDIT: I guess I learned it in high school though, and the math teacher probably didn't kno

Circles is awesome. I can't believe Facebook hasn't done it yet. Hopefully you can drop friends into more than one circle. As far as Huddle goes, I hope it's easy to go from a normal text straight into a Huddle. Also, typing status is ve

Even Warner Bros didn't escape this. They had to pay Mike Tyson's tattooist for putting Tyson's tattoo on the dentist in the movie. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/06/tattoo-flap-settled...

They mention "a prototype gasoline engine that requires no transmission, crankshaft, pistons, valves, fuel compression, cooling systems or fluids." So maybe add the weight of the engine plus the transmission and extra fluids required for b

Also, the time it takes to keep people accountable. It's very easy to be taken advantage of in any business relationship if there is a lack of oversight. My friend's cousin stole tens of thousands from his business over years before the p

Aren't there statutes against forced self-incrimination by the court? I am definitely not a lawyer.

I remember my elementary school got robbed. We had to sit in the auditorium for a while until they led us past the crime scene into our classrooms. I still remember a forensics guy picking up one of those plastic barrel juice boxes with t

I can definitely feel 'trapped' when people invade my personal space, especially if they smell or have a cough. Those experiences are horrible for the extended amounts of time required for a commute. I still ride, but driving really isn't

This will definitely benefit bars. I would love to see drunk driving become a thing of the past at some point in my lifetime.

I find it interesting that they intend to make a wagon/estate version with rear-facing seats (article says 7 passengers, so my best guess is that it has to be a wagon in that form). They must really want to make the 'family' statement, bec

Quoted from comments and decided to analyze: "A family sedan for $80,000. That will work." At an average of 15K miles/year, 30mpg, and $3/gal of gas, that's $1500 in gasoline a year. Over 5 years, that's a savings of $7500 ($10000 for $4/g

I agree with you that any security implementation will hurt the web and can be a very dangerous thing that will likely fail. My statement is a fact. Politicians and large corporations WILL use incidents like these to push their legislation

Whenever they're hacking anyone and making headlines, they're increasing political pressures to create a "civilized" internet in the name of safety and security.

Yeah, people have houses that are 4 stories high. No big deal here, although I'm not sure how big the houses are out in Cupertino.
