Mp3.com sends its warmest regards.... from the grave. You are a fucking moron if you think that IP hasnt held back technological progress. Every smartphone should have an 'airdrop' like functionality by now. The reason we dont is copyright cartels.
My statement is not incompatible with yours, you just assumed I limited the scope to the physical. Im well aware of the 'technical' reasons why. It doesnt change my annoyance at the state of affairs.
Have we forgotten that updates are to be carefully evaluated before deployment? This is slashdot right? I didnt think we had to remind people what updates really are and that they are ALWAYS optional in a production environment.
Use your tablet like a terminal. Tap into big horsepower for those jobs. People need to stop with this idea that tablets need to to everything desktops do. Coexist, mesh, adapt.
I run a video service for all my family members off of 3 TB. Almost 2000 movies. You are doing it wrong. Rip the DVD, compress, delete DVD files. Fuck Blu-ray, horribly bloated but then im not a videophile in that sense. I prefer high availability over absolute pixel perfection.
You do realize that what makes most paintings special is their placement in history right? The development of the art of painting over centuries. The same could be said of the MacBook. Its a prime example of a laptop of this time.
If you had a clue on how games are designed I wouldnt have to explain to you how stupid you sound. Games arent jsut designed form the aether, DECISIONS are made that affect the balance of the game. Those DECISIONS included hampering single player mode so severely that the only truly viable option is to trade. Single player mode was PURPOSEFULLY deprecated to force trades. It was a decision wholly dictated by business reasons, not gameplay.
I just had to destroy my MythTV ubuntu VM install because the Myth Front end kept detecting that it was crashing at the end and restarting it. I couldnt get out of it . Endless loops occur in computing, its not just windows.
Nobody HAPPILY pays taxes. It is theft at gunpoint. Either you pay, or you are subject to punishment. There is no opting out. Im not trying ot sound like a anti-tax nut, its just the reality of the situation.
All of your calculations are meaningless without including the cost of OSX, which you cant define so to you its nil. You cannot compare a Mac to a PC without also comparing the attendant OS. Yes apple gouges on Ram, we all know this. Mercedes-Benz gouges on spare parts, we all know this too.
You're kind of a dick arent you. I already said i dont get it for my use case, but i could see the use case for it. To me its a nicety, but whatever. I gave up caring about monitor resolution when 1080p became de facto.

Because its always good to have a (pardon the usage) meatspace backup
It hurts to know I have friends who would never understand this.
What you are grasping ham-handedly for is the American with Disabilities Act, and no its doesnt apply here.

4) advise parents to NOT update their medical device. Problem solved.

To go even further. Ipad 2 is $399 and is the full iOS experience. Ipad 3 is the 'luxury' model.
The only reason you dont see a revolving door is because Ballmer owns a huge chunk of stock. If he wasnt a founder, he would be gone already.
Illogical. Compare the cost of the DATA vs the hard drive. The cost of the laptop as a whole is totally irrelevant.
The problem with your statement is that SSDs suffer from instant death too. My Intel 310 80 GB w/ 8MB bug bears witness.
I complain every time is see a Micro SD card laying on top of my ipad. They couldnt find a way to cram it in??? Annoying.

The resolution is too high for gaming on a laptop GPU.

The connector is called mSATA, and its a real SATA port.

It began the day they merged with Activision.
Its not a single player game. The loot is expressly designed with the idea that you will trade other people.

Your comment undermines logical procedure. Disk is dirt cheap.
