SSD's dropped in price precipitously. What used to cost about $140 (that 64GB drive) now costs about $40-55 bucks. I could see them continue to sell this years model with perhaps a cost reduce step or two just like they do the iPhone 3GS.

Maximized profit is achieved by hitting profit X unit sold If unit sold goes up by more than the lost per unit profit, then that's a winning proposition. If people convert to the Apple brand, then Apple is going to make tons more than just

Isn't part of the point of the fan (other than the venting sewer gases) to cover the noise of people using the restroom? I find the idea of a very quiet fan counter intuitive for that room.

Why do you assume the Jury has no technical knowledge? Lawyers often seek engineers and technical minded people in voir dire for technical cases. Not subject matter experts, but a programmer or mechanical engineer has a high chance of being

Objective C is smalltalk on top of C. It looks extremely bad when you stick it in the super skinny columnar formats of many blogs. At 80-300 characters per line it's fine and very readable.

The lack of IB support makes the otherwise "Ruby that Looks Too Much Like Objective C" a bit of a net loss. You lose IB, and the ability to easily integrate the approaches all the thousands of examples and questions do. I'm very intereste

I really like the idea of changing over to an imputation system: In an imputation system, you get tax credit, as a shareholder, for taxes paid by the corporation. This means if the corporation avoids tax, you as a person end up paying the

This is wrong. SOX compliant fortune 500 companies can't legally use dropbox due to confidentiality requirements. Adding encryption would fix the confidentiality issues. The BIGGEST deepest pockets would pay handsomely for this.
