As a comment on the site says - this is almost certainly not programmatic advertising but a premium placement paid for by Apple at least a few days ago. Also, I don't see how this is intellectually stimulating, of interest to a Hacke

It's worth noting they only put 45 drives in the box so that extra $700 only gets you a 12.5% storage gain. However I suspect that splitting the drives between the two increases read/write performance and reliability as well.

OT: USPOTUS threw me for a loop there. :) I'm not sure how I even noticed as I was just skimming the thread but I hit that line and lost all train of thought. Must be one of those things... POTUS is "President Of The United State

Ok, and... Does a viewer suddenly become "not local" if the signal gets to their house through the internet instead of an antenna? The studios aren't concerned that someone will switch from an antenna to Aeveo, they're w

IIRC (I might search for it later) that was a spambot fix. Apparently it was fairly effective - I presume the bots were smart enough to find the 'login' link on the front page then register an account from there but not much else

Additionally, magazines are typically published with the date they should be removed from the newsstand, not the date they should be sold. This is different from newspapers which typically publish with the date they are first available.
