Wait, either I'm missing something huge or this analogy is fatally flawed. Are you claiming that the _government_ is censoring Twitter?

Thank you! I did not make it up but I don't recall where I first heard it, unfortunately. But I am definitely not claiming credit for it! :)

I reject the notion that this is a narrow definition. In the US, it's the _standard_ definition that was widely accepted until the recent advent of the "but muh free speech" people on twitter and other social media. I'm

You are conflating the concept of free speech with "free reach." At least in the US, you have always had the right to create your own web site and say whatever you want. That right should never be taken away. However, another priv

I never said "not the people committing the fraud". Why not both? Amazon is the entity warehousing and shipping the products in the United States (or wherever the buyer happens to be), and is and is the party enabling the fraudule

No, the sellers of these fraudulent products (at least the first 5 on the search results page the OP linked to in the twitter thread) are already using FBA. Amazon clearly doesn't care. Maybe a prosecutor bringing legal action against

This isn't true, or at least there's more nuance to it: I just logged in to my number-based account which I must have last used in 2002-ish while playing Ultima Online, as another commenter in this thread mentioned. My account st

Similarly to the reduction in RAM on the 13" rMBP, they also removed the discrete video card from the baseline 15" model.

Contrary to what this article states, this type of story domination has happened several times before; the most memorable one for me was the night that Steve Jobs died. For a period of time, every single link on the first three pages was ab

I'm convinced that Apple wants you to think that SSD prices are still where they were in 2010-2011, both to sell you the "Fusion Drive" baloney and to make it seem like paying $900 for an UPGRADE to a 512GB SSD[1] is in any way reasonable.

The base MacBook Airs are not fairly-priced, though they might be less overpriced than other Mac models. For example, consider the Asus Zenbook Prime[1], which can be found for $1100-$1150 configured with a Core i7 (faster than the base $12

I'm not quite sure whether there was ever an original source for this claim other than a bunch of tech blogs parroting each other, but iSuppli shows that this was false, at least as of July 11th: http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/News/pages

It's still ridiculously overpriced, just less so. ($975 to upgrade from 6GB to 32GB???)

That is all true! Thanks for the clarification. I believe the Ivy Bridge E5s aren't due until early 2013 at the earliest.

Here's a forum thread posted by someone who's using a Supermicro Intel C606-based board with dual xeon E5s and 128GB of memory: http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=169&t=55963 Looks like they had trouble getting the network function

I suspect the reason that they did this quietly was that these are not new Mac Pros at all. Rather, they are same as the "Mid 2010" models they replaced, with minor bumps to the CPUs and memory. They continue to use the same generation CPUs

Plus, their control panel pages to assign custom nameservers doesn't work half the time! (or at least, it didn't in 2010 when I used them). And, should you instead choose their DNS service, they'll throw in some free 3-4 hour total outages
