My hands are already rulers: Distance from tip of thumb to tip of pinky = 9 inches when fully spread. Distance from base of thumb to tip of index finger = 6 inches when thumb is at right angle. Combine two hands to measure a foot. Max sprea

I imagine it also might have something to do with the difficulty of upgrading a jailbroken phone. I try not to upgrade more than necessary because I don't want to go through the hassle of having all my settings potentially erased after upgr

I think the argument is more that Hurd is in a decision-making and strategy forming position. He is privy to all the inside information that HP has to date, and as such, he is in a unique position to make decisions that can do serious damag

Paying $5-10 extra per person for 3D is overrated, especially for movies that aren't shot explicitly for 3D. Animated films like Toy Story and Despicable Me are ideal, and possibly worth an extra few dollars. Alice in Wonderland was not. Th

While legal, wouldn't this still void your warranty? It's a step in the right direction, but next we need a law prohibiting manufacturers from voiding warranties for installing mere software. Bonus points, if there is a law preventing manuf

There's a WWDC session on Xcode 4 - free on iTunes U for registered developers. It might be worth a watch, as they will probably outline the most significant changes, as well as indoctrinate you with the belief that these changes are major

I was on the 8-year plan... I love learning, and couldn't decide on a single major. First I was planning on CS / Math, but wound up taking a physics course, asking the right questions, and the professor hired me to do research for him and p

From a legal perspective, I wonder if modifying content like this counts as producing a derivative work, which might possibly violate copyright law. If I recall correctly, Blockbuster got in some hot water for censoring some of its videos a

Apologies. For whatever reason, perhaps because online discussions tend to take on a point-counterpoint structure, I sometimes misinterpret comments. I did not, in fact, return my phone. The bumper has fixed most of the issue, though it is

Personally, I was a philosophy major. As was I, along with Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Physics. Philosophy was by far my most important and relevant major. It taught me how to think and express myself logically and to identify sp

Would that change the validity of either (a) my initial argument that Apple made an error, or (b) my correct observation that somebody was commenting on an issue with which he or she may not have any first-hand experience? Notice I never ar

not serious enough to get me off the iPhone waiting list. So, you don't actually own an iPhone 4, and haven't suffered with this issue, then? I hope your experience will be much better than mine. Truly.

Well, whether he responds to this thread or not, he has already made a public statement, which seemingly contradicts his other comments on the matter: "I don’t know if this signal-degradation-in-left-hand thing is really a widespread proble

John has been arguing very petulantly lately that all/most smart phones enjoy the same signal attenuation that the iPhone 4 does. Whether true or not, the location of the band is particularly ill conceived, as it is touched by holding it in
