Those renderings do look very nice. After seeing this http://9gag.com/gag/20351 , however, I have to say I've gotten pretty skeptical of renderings.

You are probably also more inclined to believe excuses from people you like, which also plays a fairly sized role in the article.

And yet, apple has taken concrete steps to try to encourage more high quality (i.e. pricier) apps, including adding the "top grossing category" to the app store. The post also fails to give any examples whatsoever of how apple is actively e

It's even worse when part of the logic is "we got a killer deal on these outdated chips".

I guess you could have a system where you were required to pay the patent holder if you made money off of their patent, but the patent holder couldn't outright prevent you from using it. You could also set some upper limit as to what they

Telomeres are on the ends of every chromosome (strand of dna). They contain no genetic information themselves. Every time your cell splits, special enzymes attach themselves chromosome, copying everything as they go, including the telomer

I'm not at all opposed to a bounty on awesome ideas. But I think the nature of the bounty needs to change to something that still encourages innovation. The whole, "no one can do anything with this cool idea but me" thing really stifles t

Reading through the comments, I am really struck by how much good will apple has completely squandered. The most obvious interpretation of events (in my mind, at least) is that no US based company would ever, ever want to be associated wit

I had a Bangladeshi friend explain to me ~8 years ago that all the female Bangladeshi movie stars (not to be confused with Bollywood stars) were fat. For most of the population, being thin was a sign of not being able to afford much food,

Upvote for insightfulness. However, that only works if the people you want to share with also have iPads. If you are a student with a paper to turn in, the ability to print would be really nice. I've only ever had a single professor (jus

And erroneous conclusions about the world have been made from much larger samples. You could sample 300 million americans and you'd still only end up with a very skewed perspective of what the world is like. You could use statistical samp

No. Not all people will obey calls to abstinence and monogamy. Period. There has always been adultery and teenage pregnancy; there is no reason to think there ever won't be. In addition, no study of abstinence until marriage education h

The people don't deserve it, however. And the article isn't about the leader deserving anything, it is about the culture deserving what it gets, and using the leader as an excuse to talk about it. And maybe it is a good excuse to talk abou

He makes the argument there that because 10.6 is so great, we don't really need to be disappointed at 10.7 being delayed. But, for me, it is precisely because 10.6 was so great compared to 10.5 (and 10.5 was so great compared to 10.4 and 1

I agree, but just wanted to say that the title almost certainly isn't intended to denigrate women or imply they can't be awesome programmers. When such and such were men almost always really means when such and such were awesome. The sexi

Why, might I ask, would you only invite black people? If a white person approved of affirmative action, would you have the same feelings towards him or her, or is your anger more directed towards black people? If it is, you might want to

You're misreading the article. Green eace isn't saying that cloud computing should go away. It's saying that the energy that runs major data centers should be green, or if not green, at least not coal powered.

When I saw your title, I read, "People waiting in line for the iPad could not say how they would use the tablet computer" is very different from "many people waiting in line". One implies there were many people who did know what they would

Rationally, I should be very happy that Spirit made it as long as it did, and say, what a fine piece of engineering. But ever since http://xkcd.com/695/ every time I think of Spirit, I get very sad.
