How many times does it have to be said? Apple would not make a killing by selling OS X to other hardware manufacturers because Apple does not make money off of OS X . Apple is a hardware company. Their entire business and culture is ba

Why not create a wikipedia entry collecting available information, then request the hacker community's input? There's nothing about Cheese Weasel day that makes it inherently ungratifying to intellectual curiosity (unlike april 1st posts, p

It's possible that, if you really wanted inform us of the merits of cheese weasel day, you shouldn't have linked to a badly maintained site circa 1995 that provides no information apart from: o there's cheese involved, o it's on Apri

I think the point is that we're not talking about gratifying your intellectual curiosity or my intellectual curiosity, but one's intellectual curiosity. I literally groan out loud every time I see a Coding Horror story on the front pa

I used to use Blueprint all the time, but found it had many inconsistencies and corner cases -- primarily its vertical pacing of type, but also in its grid. Then, when I'd go to fix these issues manually, I'd always end up befuddled and foi

Wow. Thanks for upvoting an article telling me no information is available at this time.

"you have to admit this is a really good ad" I don't. It not only refers to the competition by name, it clearly says that when given the opportunity to buy any computer, a person's first reaction is to visit the competition's store. It refe

It would seem you don't have a very clear understanding of the definition of "anecdotal": not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research Let me put it another way: Pick for us the

I'm trying not to resort to sarcasm, but honestly. If your evidence of "so-so" hardware is an anecdotal sampling of people who may well have defective units, that's some pretty weak tea.

You contribute nothing to the conversation. This has already been discussed in some detail at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=422225 . I suggest anyone interested in talking price/value reads up on that thread before commenting here.

If you're expecting a different language, framework, and platform to behave like a ruby, I would argue no amount of eschewing documentation and getting down to coding will help you. In fact, I suggest documentation to be even more vital

I'm not sure what you mean by "what native applications on the Pre would look like." If you mean that all applications on the Pre will be indistinguishable from one another -- that they are, in essence, all constrained by the same straight

Right. There's a name for locally run ajax web pages written in HTML/CSS/JS. They're called widgets. Now widgets can be cool, but Super Monkey Balls they are not.

Sprint customers have been stuck with terrible phones for so long, most of them are no longer Sprint customers. And those that are will look at the Pre and say, "What? No PTT!?"
