Most people I know run at resolutions much lower than their screens can handle. Why? Demographically, America is old, and our collective vision is getting worse. I know a CTO who has 2 20" flatscreens that she runs at 640x480 each. Blame shitty UI design if you want, but when people want big fonts and clearly are tolerating some blocky pixels, where's the incentive? Personally, I'd rather see lower power, lower cost, better color (like the new yellow pixel), than my DPI going to 11.
So a software company can't buy a hardware company? What color is the sky in your socialist paradise? The rest of the industry would do no such thing, they'd pass the costs onto the sheep^Wconsumers of these gadgets.
Government doesn't care if it has to bend over, as long as YOU bend over, and are reminded that you have to bend over, and that there's never anything they can do about it. People have almost forgotten the difference between the power of the dollar and that of the gun - here's a chance for the government to bend you over, but blame Big Media. THEN, once you're fully trained, they can bend you over for anything else (taxes, mandatory service, forced relcations, rationing, etc).
Seriously, given that the Chinese are pretty much balls deep in America's backside these days, does anyone care about this anymore? What Walmart-shopping, XBox360 buying American shopper is going to do anything about it? Is the American government (thanks for giving.cn the Most Favored Nation status) going to do anything about it?
Thread, thread, thread, thread! (Images of Ballmer hopping around). BeOS rocked back in the day because it APPEARED to be faster, because of its pervasive multithreading. Nowadays people are impressed when MS multithreads Win7 to make it more responsive. Imagine what you can do with 48 cores.
Other than teenage girls, and self-important geeks, is the market ready for, and does it demand, an always-on, always synchronized lifestyle? Is it no longer possible/acceptable to be unplugged?

Are computers now so ubiquitous, and potentially so broadly defined, that they're a necessity? Is an Android phone a computer? What about your Tivo? Is banning someone from a computer restraint of trade these days?

You'll find no other phone measures up... because it's not an iPhone. What kind of phone do you NEED?

How does this not work? "I swear to God, if you don't stop poking your sister, I am pulling this car over and comibg back there."
Tell your kids to shut up, sing songs, play 'Volkswagen' or give them a benadryl. Why must they be continuously entertained?
I was ready to comment before I even saw your name, but my comment still stands: "You sound gay."
Shell scripts are not supposed to be user-friendly, they're supposed to be admin-friendly. If its noisy I can always filter it out via grep.
Given that cows and associated infrastructure are a huge methane/CO2 emitter, wouldn't it make more sense to just NOT factory farm them?

It's an interesting cultural litmus test - who is the bigger man?
So if I send this to Twitter, does it create another Slashvertisement front page post, causing a Möbius loop of FAIL ?
At that price, why not just get a laptop?
I hear if you change the covalent bond angle of water to 120 degrees, it cures cancer !

Being intentionally vague about whether they share data is not the same thing as "Giving the US Government Access to Gmail"
I bet the postage-stamp countries in Africa are LEAST vulnerable to cyber attack.
And maybe only 3-5 days out of the month?
Why not just play the real games, rather than an electronic version of the game?
Sure its monitored just like all the other stuff, but its a way to communicate around the traditional government-controlled channels.
personally, I wouldn't go out and get a big fancy certificate, why not just tell the government 'please track me?'
Why can a document execute anything?

How could anyone forget that epic fail ?
Not once in TFA or the summary does it say what Songbird does.
