I remember ordering a mug from fab and it took a noticeable amount of time to arrive (weeks). Perhaps they are trying to improve that.

As much as I loathe Java, this is just wishful thinking.

Agreed. I will never go back to a non-retina screen. I bought the Nexus 7 to see what the Android ecosystem is all about and I always reach for the iPad instead. The screen is the deciding factor. The 7" screen is too small. The text is not

I think the point is that if such a system were adapted online, it would be prone to abuse. It's easier to "check out" content digitally then it is through a traditional library.

I would argue that the example you picked is more of a gimmick than true innovation. Tesla also eliminated the gas cap, along with the gas tank, and the gas engine...

I've experienced something similar. My grandma recently got into computers because of being able to stream her favorite shows on demand. She now also has an iPad where she can watch her shows and play casual games (solitaire/bejeweled/etc).

What you're describing is know as the Dunning-Kruger effect explained in Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments (1999).

I have a 4S that slipped from my pant pocket onto a rough concrete floor from sitting height. The rough surface dented the plastic trim, causing the glass to shatter. I believe they went with the plastic trim due to the problems of joining

How did this get past QA? It looks terrible on any retina device (every Apple flagship).

The challenge for Microsoft is that Google essentially gives Android away for free. How can Microsoft compete in the cheap phone space, which you admit is a large part of Google's success, when Microsoft keeps charging for their OS?

I agree with integrating version control into the exercises/labs. When I was at school, we had to submit our work over email/Blackboard, but submitting work through a version control system makes much more sense.

My first thought exactly! To claim that Zynga employees were taken advantage is like claiming that the bankers were taken advantage of during the 2008 collapse. If you don't like your employer, find another one! These guys work in San Franc

I used turn-by-turn directions yesterday and everything worked fine. I think people are blowing the whole thing way out of proportion. If Google Maps was so great, why did Google never add turn-by-turn directions to the iOS app? My guess is
