There are some foldup / rollup flexible keyboards. I don't know how they rate but what I've generally heard is, they're not as good as a rigid, non-portable fullsized keyboard.
I personally think that at least some of the die-hard IPhone users want bigger screens but won't admit it. That's why when Apple comes out with Iphones w/ 4"+ screens soon (if they haven't already), I'm sure many Apple fans will be saying "Finally, now we're on par with Android phones for screen size" and "I've been waiting for this for so long", etc.
I don't mind using Unity on Ubuntu and it has gotten better since it was first introduced but I fail to understand why anyone would want to port this to other distros. I seem to recall many users giving negative feedback about Unity when it was first introduced and migrating to Mint as a result.
I bought an HP 7012nr. Its a 15" laptop with a Geforce 650 GT GPU and 2GB dedicated GRAM, Intel i7 processor, 8 GB system memory, 720 GB 7200 RPM hard drive, 1080p display with non-reflective surface, bluetooth, and a spacious (optional backlight) keyboard with numeric keypad. Of course, it also had a camera and 802.11n. It also had fingerprint biometrics as a bonus. Battery life is decent. If I am mistaken (unlikely) about any of the specs, it is because I'm recounting them all from memory. It came with Windows 7 but I made it dualboot to run linux. The cost for all this... $1050...a better deal than any of the DELLs or Apple notebooks I looked at.
That is very important for you or me but maybe not for someone else. Therefore, I intentionally did not account for that in the comparison. I just looked at hardware specs.
I did some shopping around and made price comparisons per laptop specs very recently between those three you just mentioned. As far as the most bang for the buck, HP wins. Dell comes in at an unimpressive second. Apple is a very distant third and IMO is a rip-off. I ended up getting an HP laptop with all or better specs than a comparable Ibook and at less than half the cost. The only difference is my laptop is not ultra-thin, which is unimportant to me.
I'm far from an expert in this area but don't certain ORM frameworks like Hibernate automatically prevent attacks through SQL injection? Though if they're storing plain-txt passwords, I doubt they're using any such frameworks.
If this new "goal" of libertarianism applied to the internet means that huge corporations like Comcast can do whatever they want...including throttle bandwidth to customers, block/censor websites, block competing web services (ex: video on demand), and pay off politicians in order to pass laws in their favor (ex: Comcast acquisition of NBC Universal)...then I'm against it.
Take it easy...Don't get your Bolo tie in a knot. I don't recall anyone making a political discussion of this, except you. Also, I don't recall this being about a "hate science thing". All I saw from these remarks were that Texans are very religious and love guns...and that's true.
I have a Galaxy Nexus that was just updated to ICS 4.04 last month. It took a little while only because Verizon is my carrier. Those who really want the latest OS root their phones. Mine is not rooted but if it was, I could probably get Jelly Bean right now.
Compare that to iOS' distribution, where a *much* larger percentage are running the most recent version, making it a lot easier for developers. the trade off, of course, is that Apple tightly controls the ecosystem.
"Easier for Developers"?
LOL. I have developed apps for Android and I know what's required to develop apps for IOS. First of all, Android apps can be developed on Windows (all versions), linux, and OSX platforms. Apps can even be developed on Android itself. Eclipse + ADT plugin makes it very easy. IOS apps, on the other hand, can only be developed using Xcode running on OSX. Also, its pretty easy to test your Android app while in development using the emulator but most devs prefer to side-load their app onto the device because its faster and just better than using an emulator. Let's try side-loading an IOS app....oh wait, no USB port.
Of course then there's the whole tightly controlled ecosystem you mentioned with Apple...Despite that, vulnerabilities still surface but I bet there are others that Apple stays tight-lipped about and maybe fixes quietly. When Android has a vulnerability, the whole world finds out through the open system of development, arguably making Android appear less secure.
I don't recall Nokia ever leading the way in smart phone or tablet development and innovation. In fact, they seriously lagged behind and dragged their feet for years, which is what got them in their present situation. They deserve to fail. Going down as patent trolls just makes them look worse. BTW, I used to work for Nokia as a developer, but not in their mobile phone division.
I've heard (need confirmation) that most use a similar frequency band to wireless phone basestations and wifi ethernet. If all of those are safe, one would suspect smart meters are safe too.
WTF is the point of shelling out big bucks for Mac when I can get a comparable, if not better, pc from HP for less than half the price? The specs and performance of my new laptop blows the doors off the most recent Macbooks. Also, Mac doesn't run most of the software I'd want to use. Third and finally, I hate Apple as a company, its business practices, and the over-zealous culture of its fan-base.

Yes. And who started the trend? It certainly wasn't Apple.
YES
I read in another article that Aurora is about 13 miles from Columbine, where two gunmen killed several people in 1999.

What hackers need are robot girlfriends so, they can go on hacking...and hack each others girlfriends.
May have been an HP 7014nr...my bad.

It's a perfectly valid ruling in light of the ridiculous design patent. OMG we invented rounded corners!!!
LOL. Next thing you know, they'll be taking out a patent on the wheel.

YES! Can't remember the name of the episode but I believe its the one where they all get tax refunds.

I thought companies were people. :\
Which means I should be able to marry one. And when I divorce it, I should get partial ownership of all the assets.

(me) --Also a former Nokia employee....Was a developer there for 8 years. LOL. We should start a support group

...at least, in terms of RF radiation. Maybe a study should be done.

No, they are just trying to sue their way into market monopoly, with mixed results...
Couldn't have said it better myself.
