I bought "The Matrix" on DVD years ago, first DVD purchase I ever made. Recently I bought it on Blu-Ray just to get a clear feeling for what the "real world" difference is between the formats. Wow - what can I tell you, Fishburne is one pock-marked mofo. I mean, you knew that on the DVD version, but you get it in incredible detail on Blu-Ray.
"No one is better at anything than anyone (especially me). They were just lucky and in the right place at the right time. Anyone could have done it, really."

"It isn't fair, we should all have what they do, just luck I say, let us form a committee to redistribute the wealth"
There are multiple definitions for geek, in her case it would be "an enthusiast or expert" but not in technology. The "especially" clause does not limit that definition to technology.
The "peculiar and unlikeable" definition is when the word is intended as an insult. In my time, that was when it was yelled at someone on the school playground just before they got beaten up, but maybe times have changed. Probably not. Ok so I got beat up.
Yes Microsoft is embracing HTML5 and Javascript and JQuery, but does that mean the end of.NET? Those technologies are client side/browser technologies..NET will still be used on the server side, just like it is today and has been. Yes Silverlight (as a WEB client) will be impacted but that is it. It does not mean.NET/C# is going away anymore than Javascript/HTML5 is going to make Java or PHP go away.
I think when you look at the chart and add the numbers together you get a different story. Sure IE has 54%, but if you add other MS properties like Pocket Internet Explorer and the Danger Web Browser you get a total of, oh, never mind.
Agreed 100%. "Something as trivial as a phone" is said earlier in the thread. But it is not a phone. It is a computer! This is a trivial phone. This is also a phone. This is a computer that can make phone calls. Also can send e-mails, play games, provide navigation and mapping, record video, play video, play music etc etc etc
Agreed on connectors, but for me personally the cheaper stuff is fine. I bought four HDMI cables for $10 on Amazon last year, $10 shipping, and set them up in my home theater. I have yet to plug/unplug since.
Or perhaps Netflix is really slow in developing this. I am still waiting for 5.1 sound through my PC (either browser plugin or Windows Media Center), X-Box 360, or LG Blue Ray player that has Netflix support and Netflix announced 5.1 streaming way back in Feb 2010 as being available later that year. Last I checked was currently PS3 only, on select titles.
I'd be happy with 2.1 at this point. Once you go.1, you don't go back.
Of building Mach 2+ airliners to fly from NY to LA if they make you show up 2 hours in advance for security checks. And then you get delayed again because its LaGuardia of course.
It is mostly about rights. Studios are petrified of making a movie and then realizing someone else wrote the story (i.e. Coming To America). With such an orientation, what is safe?. That would be sequels (We made the last movie!), TV shows (we know who wrote those!), comic books (again, well established), toys (like Transformers) and in other cases there are well established people you just 'trust', authors like Stephen King, people like James Cameron and books like the Twilight series, Harry Potter, the works of JRR Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. All pre-vetted.

Well thankfully, Google wasn't run by MBA graduates

As cynical as I am, a hive mind would bring the understanding needed for previously unreachable levels of sympathy and social order.
Sure, and when some don't want to join the hive mind, then what? Social order must prevail of course!
Without a computer hooked onto your brain, how else would you be able to relate to a female computer and have sex with it? Duh.
