   ESPN costs ~$5/subscriber/mo. per that article, and it's, as you mention, a huge outlier. Cable bundles often cost in the $80 to $100 range. I'm no fan of bundles, but I think the cable companies themselves (and specif

   OK. "Thuggery" seems like a strange way to describe that though since there's no violence involved.

   I don't understand what you mean by "thuggery" here. Can you explain?

    Jobs resisted plastic iPhones? Did they have to drug him to get him to introduce the iPhone 3G and 3GS?

    The vast majority of players in the NCAA tournament have effectively zero chance of ever playing, much less starting and making millions, in the NBA. Consider the automatic bids that go to conference winners, the benchwarmers and walk-ons

    Isn't the fact that he bought something that wasn't then delivered upon a "loss"? I.e., if I buy a year's worth of coffee from you for $5,000, and you only give me a month's worth, I've lost 11/12 of

    IOKit allows communication between kexts and userland. You could call that "userland drivers", but it's not like you can write only userland code to implement a driver.

    That's misleading. Apple merged in a bunch of Mach 3 code but still maintains the architecture of Mach 2.5 (i.e., Mach + BSD both running in supervisor mode in one big monolith; no BSD server; xnu is not a microkernel…).
