Not only that, but the 40h/week ignores commutes. For some people that's an additional 15h/week. Also hunger-gatherers lived right beside the people they knew. They just had to step outside to meet up with friends to socializ

Oh come on. Internet on phones wasn't invented with the iPhone. In 2005 Palm and Blackberry both had phones with slow, limited but functional browsers. And they had had them since 2003 or so.

It would have been interesting to see what Apple would have done with BeOS's ABI problem. Be used GCC's 2.9x C++ ABI, which wasn't stable and was changed in 3.0. Would Apple have forked GCC? Or re-worked the design of Be avoi
