Alternatively, maybe soon – with the small iPad filling the $249 price gap – Apple will finally kill the iPod Classic and cut prices on the rest of the line. They've been manufacturing the lower quality retina display for the iPod Touch for

I understand where you're coming from, but I feel as though you might be evaluating the ad's concept and not its execution. The Apple Store is clearly an awesome value add (I even hesitate to reduce it to merely that), but I don't think the

That's fair. Though I do have an explanation. I was, many years ago, an Apple retail employee. After that, I worked as an Apple Certified Technical Consultant. Referring to Apple as "we" is a old habit that manifested itself in a moment of

I have a hard time agreeing. I want to like them, but everything about them – with the exception of one or two gags – is "good enough," not excellent, as Apple's been for so long.

Sorry if this is obvious, but to clarify: is that around 8 MB/s? Or did you mean 65 MB/s?

We've all known it for a while, but this redesign (which I think is quite nice compared to Microsoft's previous efforts) throws their logo into stark relief. It looks outdated. It doesn't match. I'm speculating that we'll see an across-the-

+1. Archiving is a huge part of my workflow, which is similar to that of the folks above me. Pretty sure all versions of iOS >= 4 (and new-ish versions of OS X) support Archive when you tap the Delete icon, so it's not something I even

Whether or not Apple's corporate culture is "controlling" (though I don't really understand why you're conflating 'confrontational' with 'controlling' in the first place) does not directly impact whether policies towards consumers are restr

Why not just use a top-of-the-line iMac with 32GB RAM? It's not officially supported, but it does work.

These may be functional and fully Linux-compatible and whatever, but the key for me is this: does its trackpad compare to that of the MacBook Pro? Oh, it doesn't? You mean I'll have to carry around an external mouse to compensate for the la

Though I agree that it's good (awesome, even), it should be noted that only one of those ports is a LAN port. The other is WAN only.

Side question: does anyone know why Apple uses edgesuite.net for these things? Is that an internal name, a third-party corp. managing their video distribution, or something else?

For me, it's really Spaces whose usefulness was diminished in 10.7. They used to be configurable in multiple dimensions (i.e., X & Y): now they're linear only. Lame city.

Can't help but agree with you here. I think tweeting (whether about the conference or not), surfing the web, reading/responding to email, etc. during a talk are symptomatic of the same inability to maintain focus and to think deeply when th

I did a video on something like this that got some traction on reddit, where some really nice, knowledgable folks told me about BeOS and the original vision for Longhorn. What I think both of them are missing is a really simple GUI that mak

It's also throwing a 404 error for modernizr. It's looking for it in /rooms/js/libs/modernizr..., but it's actually in /js/libs/modernizr.... This'd all be easier to confirm, obviously, if they'd have set up a demo site. Anyone else care to

The readme isn't very well written. Would someone with Node.js/redis experience be willing to write a more comprehensive installation guide?

Not sure how that's obvious from your links. It'd be helpful if you gave some explanation.
