Bullshit. You need to educate yourself - you sound like an ignorant bigot. We have a few less asians and a lot less blacks than the national average, but we are way above the national average in hispanics and native americans, and actually below the national average in white people. Contrary to your ignorant, bigoted attitude that great majority of people in this state fully support legal immigrants, a significant percentage of the residents being just that. What we do not support is illegal aliens coming here, driving cars with fake licenses and using other people's social security numbers, nor do we like the Mexican drug traffickers.
Apple was all about the shiny? Now I'm even more confused...
"With the exception of some products by D-Link and Apple's AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme, none of today's CPE can operate using IPv6 well enough for a field test trial, Bulk says."
Yes. The last company I worked for the employment contract stated that basically anything you did with a computer was owned by the company. Didn't stop me from developing my own apps on my own time, but it did mean I kept my mouth shut about it at work.
If you haven't spent some quality time with the trackpad on the macbook pros, then you should reserve judgement. After a few hours with my MacBook I found track pads on PC laptops to be almost unusable by comparison.
The MacBook Pros are on average 25% more expensive than comparably speced quality laptops, like the Lenovo T series for example. The key is comparably speced. Most people don't need much more than a pentium 4 and a GB of RAM when you get right down to it. Me personally I need multiple cores and 8GB of RAM on a consistant basis. I think getting the machined aluminum unibody enclosure, the glass trackpad and OS X is worth the 25% premium, but they're not for everyone. The other thing to consider is that I used to buy a new Dell every 18 to 24 months. With the Macs that has been expanded to 3 to 4 years. If it costs 25% more but lasts a third longer or more it's cheaper in the long run...
USB 1.1 was the first iteration of USB that was actually widely implemented by a lot of manufacturers. It was introduced in September of 1998, however the original iMac was released August 15th 1998 with USB 1.1 ports as the sole method of hooking up the keyboard and mouse as well as an additional USB port. The mouse plugs into the keyboard which uses one of the ports. Please explain how Apple shipping their brand new line of computers with USB 1.1 as the sole method of hooking up a couple of required peripherals 3 weeks before it's official release equates to "fighting USB as long as they could", especially since I remember buying Dells in the early 2000's that still shipped with PS2 mice and keyboards. I still have the iMac and some of the Dells lying around here someplace...
If you want to rag on someone because you think they're a fanboy, fine, but get your facts straight.
As well they should. The HIPAA law is an example of unintended consequences if ever there was one. How many patients have suffered or died because information wasn't shared due to fear of legal issues? How much has this impacted the cost of care with all the systems, training, legal reviews, etc? And really, since they always seem to tell your insurance company everything what fucking good is it?
Dear Jenny McCarthy, Correlation != causation. I'm sure that's much too difficult for you to understand, which in itself is easy to understand since you're famous for your tits not your brain. I liked you a lot better in Playboy Magazine where we didn't have to listen to you speak.
Are you telling me that the way I arrange my furniture will not affect the chi in my house? First I've been living a lie as an Aquarius when I'm actually a Capricorn, and now fung shui is bogus? What next? Are you going to tell my I shouldn't trust politicians and lawyers?
I know this is about Apple, but Nokia has (or had) the same policy. I know this from first hand experience with a damaged 5160 about 6 or 7 years ago. They also try to void your warranty of you change the face plate...
Every single time I've seen this tried for anything even mildly complex it has turned out to be worse than nothing, not better. Once you have all the logic figured out, reimplementing in a new language generally isn't that hard to do. I've never understood why dev managers focus on conversion of code, when the hard part is already done.

And a big fuck you to the mods that down ranked me. Suck my low hanging balls motherfuckers.
yes, don't. We already have far too many assholes here, we don't need another one.

Yet another reason I'm glad I live in Arizona. We stay on Standard Time all year. None of this whacky time changing nonsense.
Not ASCII art, stoopid filter.
Aww... Someone shit in your Cheerios this morning?

The newest iMacs have this as a configuration option - a 256 GB SSD as the primary drive with a 1 or 2 TB secondary.

I'm sorry, but this
fought USB as long as it could
is demonstrably false.

That is all.
Sounds autobiographical.

I also didn't see how the comparison was made. How do they know it's more? Maybe the data usage tracker in the phone is not counting everything?
The majority of people are stupid, therefore not geeks.

First we need to ensure that the rocket is unladen. Only then can we determine velocity based on sub-species.
Uh, it never came out from under the rug. You will hear nothing of this on any cable or radio station.
Long way to go, they have.
Depends. Were you going for a +5 Funny, or +5 Insightful/Informative?
