I actually don't understand how this works. Please correct me if I'm wrong (I don't actually know how the 'Find my Mac' feature works, so I'm guessing), but when the computer is first booted by a thief, it won't be online, which means that

I think what you say makes perfect sense, but do you have any information which actually says that "iCloud cleverly uses this to goad thieves into going online"? This is indeed a really great reason to have this feature, but I'm just wonder

I understand that the US Immigration guys can be fairly hard to deal with. But this is really not what I experienced at all. I studied at a university in the US and I hold an Indian passport. I travelled in and out of the country multiple t

This is one of those times where I wish I could see how many points your comment got. I don't know whether you've gotten a lot of votes or not so I don't know if your answer makes sense to other people as well. Why do you think you don't ne

I wonder how they get permission to scour Egypt with a satellite camera. And even if permission was given, will Egyptian authorities allow control of the satellite and the images captured to remain with a university outside the country? Any

I was simply suggesting that you can use those actions in the app and randomly assigned what they should do. I like the double tapping for the article directly idea a lot. I think the details toolbar is more useful where it is since I gener

I think I understand what you are saying. It's a competitive sport, so given the current resources and technology, how much performance can you eke out is really what I should have been thinking about. In an adversarial environment like you

I watch F1 regularly, but to hear him speak of getting a gain of "tenths of a second" as a huge thing is still astonishing to me. Must be a frustrating life. Specially speaking as a software developer, where we're getting a free doubling o

I enjoyed the movie "Sophie's Choice" and I have to say SPOILER ALERT for the above comment. (I'm hoping the poster edits his comment to include a spoiler alert phrase)

I agree that I've not presented the best argument. And to be honest that was not my intention. I was just stating what I felt (as you acknowledge). But I stand by what I said earlier: he will lose some very good customers. I didn't mean he

I think your "Or if you are without honor" line was very intriguing. That is the simplest way of getting your book, and to me (and I imagine most people) is almost impossible to use because of the language you have used. The point of this
