It was my understanding that parts that are officially consumer replaceable parts need to be more structurally sound for safety compliance (e.g. in case it is dropped when it is outside the machine), and that this extra battery casing takes

When you say you feel the difference, I'm curious if you mean in terms of size or weight or both. I ask because believe it or not the 13.3" MacBook Pro is actually ~0.1 pounds (0.06 kg) lighter than the 12.1" PowerBook G4. Sources: 13.3" Ma

Radiolab is brilliant. I doubt you will find a better radio show/podcast than that. Listen to the episodes on memory and race—they blew me away.

One more FYI: people from San Francisco rarely, if ever, refer to it as anything else but San Francisco, at least when spoken. E.g. they would not say "SF" out loud, and will never, ever, say "San Fran."

The iPhone 4 is actually 0.1 ounces (4 grams) heavier than the 3G, which makes sense since it has more glass, less plastic, and the steel band. iPhone 4 Weight: 4.8 ounces (137 grams) iPhone 3GS Weight: 4.8 ounces (135 grams) iPhone 3G Weig

I made an HN submission to the original article 2 hours before this link to Gruber showed up here. The original article was on the front page of HN (and still is: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1529931 ), but for some reason this subm

I find this part particularly interesting: "there’s more dynamic range in these numbers too. Previously, the absolute lowest value any iPhone would report was -113 dBm. With iOS 4.0.1/4.1, the value is now a shockingly low -121 dBm. In the

That's only half the story. Other important bits: * Improved iPhone 4 baseband hardware performs significantly better than iPhone 3GS in areas with very low dBm. The 3GS dropped or failed to place calls at -113dBm, whereas iPhone 4 works fi
