I disagree. A valid marketing term would be something like "eInk"... it looks like ink and it's electronic, that makes all the sense in the world. The displays are not different from any other displays and have nothing to do with the retina, how it operates or how it looks. The equivalent would be to have Microsoft market Kinect as a "synapses controller", because it controls things through the magic synapses firing in your brain or Slashdot marketing its site as the "crowdsourced news" site which contains news contributed by the community members... both of which would be as much of a bullshit marketing term as these displays being "retina". Lightning port, Thunderbolt, all bullshit terms made up to fool users into thinking they are somehow superior or faster, when in fact all they are, are proprietary.
So it's in fact not a bullshit marketing term, but an effective way to convey an idea that consumers wouldn't normally understand.
"The vertebrate retina (play/rtn/ RET-nuh, pl. retinae, play/rtini/; from Latin rte, meaning "net") is a light-sensitive tissue lining the inner surface of the eye. ", right, totally that definitely makes a lot of sense being applied to a display technology. Very self explanatory.
I don't know, I think the "same outfit" stigma is self inflicted. Personally, as a man, I would not care if a woman wore the same business suit (much like men do) every day of the week. In fact, I would assume that she just owns a bunch of the same business suits that she likes to wear, like her own black turtleneck. I suspect that only women would notice other women's fashion choices at work. And I say business suit, because even if a man wore the same Hawaiian shirt for a week, it would too not go unnoticed:)
Not to sound like a chauvinist, but if deciding what to wear really takes that much of your mental energy, then I think we might have just found the actual reason why women don't rule the world.
First of all, how the hell did he manage to accidentally do that? I have a Blackberry and I can't figure out a way to do that even if I try. Secondly, why the hell would a 24 year old coach have cellphone numbers of a 13 and 14 year olds, as opposed to numbers of their parents?
Definitely. Definitely. Wikileaks, Megaupload and all the TSA cases are all prime examples of how US justice system is not at all like the Russian one, for sure.
If you want something done right, just do it yourself. Stop using Google (switch to DuckDuckGo) and use Firefox with Ghostery, AdBlock Plus and NoScript... you can throw in Tor, if you really want to toss a wrench into their salad... and if someone is still able to track you after that - they truly deserve to have your information. Trusting someone who stands to benefit financially to do something to limit that gain, will never work. Ever.
All RIM needs to do is release the BB10 devices already. I'll buy one. I know many people who'll buy one. But there isn't one to buy, and the fact that it's "coming" is the main reason why existing (read - obsolete) models aren't being purchased. Why would I spend $500 on the 9900, if I know there will be a new one in under 6 months? If I wanted to spend $500 on a new phone every 6 months, I would switch to iPhones long time ago.
Nope. The price of diamonds is completely artificial, agreed upon by all the suppliers and does not reflect their actual value or supply availability. It's the biggest case of non-penalized price fixing in the history of the world.
I am curious if there's going to be a huge diamond down there... I'm assuming that they formed from the pressure created by the impact...
So, just because they're researches, should they have applied for a government grant to invent some exuberant, overpriced, adhesive tape to be used in that particular experiment exclusively? Sorry, there's no NASA in Canada.
Can't yank the copper, most of the time copper is responsible for 911 services, and removing it is a huge, huge liability, no matter how many people use their cellphones for it these days.
Or it could be that the sentence was first entered with "answer" instead of "participate" and then someone edited the word, forgetting to replace the "to". Calm down.
Slashdot Mirror
I was just thinking the same thing too... if I didn't know any better, I would say that Apple is about to unveil a touch-screen Macbook :|

You guys crack me up.
I counted what, 38 cabins on that rendering... that means that each one will have nearly 40 people in it? That's a freaking subway car!
I want to get one as a pet and name it Wolverine!

Unless they were the ones who "stole" the old ones...

Will it come with a rootkit... I mean DRM? Will PSN user information keep getting stolen?
Other things that are as fast as Cray 2 supercomputer - about a million ancient PCs... but putting Apple in the title suddenly makes this news.
I think Mythbusters tried to polish one at some point.

Donate them to some poor schools in a third world country.

Or, they could simply "blow" the fiber through one of the existing conduits/pipes.
Google did it.

I have been patiently scrolling through this thread for the name of a device that has a 9 hour battery life, while playing music.
They should sue Samsung. They make rectangular LCDs as well.
