I bought the Kindle for my 19th century hobby. I love everything out of and about Victorian Britain. There is a LOT to be found on the web that you can easily download and read on the Kindle. The device is perfect for that. But newer books I rather buy on paper just because of the reasons you give.
Yep. It looks like you're right. But MS can only do that because they have a (near) monopoly. It would be a good idea to split the company in an OS company and an Office company, which they should have done in 1999 instead of telling MS: "Do not do it again, naughty boys!"
Very good point. Let's please get rid of this ugly 'word' 'app.' I hate it. Steve had many good ideas but this is not one of them. This is one of his many bad ideas.
That would be an interesting experiment. Make sure you hate life, then go to an NRA convention as a member, and shoot a round into the ceiling or over the speaker's head. Then watch all those NRA freaks shooting their harmless semi automatics at each other. And then after the bloodbath we will see them struggling on TV trying to explain that guns are the answer to everything.
What the government says it has the right to is defined in the law. The law is made by democratically chosen people. You have several possibilities at your disposal to have the law changed if you so desire.
The government knows what car you have. So they do have the right to know what you own. And another thing: you need a driver's license to drive a car. Wouldn't it be logical to need a license to wield a gun? And to have all guns registered?
Here in the Netherlands a 12 year old boy was badly burnt by fireworks last night. He was helped by the police, who asked the onlookers to fetch a bucket of cold water for him. No one reacted; the sheep were too busy watching. As a thank you for the performance some lunatics found it necessary to ignite some heavy firecrackers very close to where the police were busy with the boy. Imagine what would have happened if one of those drunken morons would have had one of those firecracker shooters! Many more badly injured people, because those things will be used to see how far you can shoot a 'live' firecracker; not how high. And this time it will be innocent people on the streets who will get injured instead of the morons themselves.
I make sure I have a nice room with a more or less constant temperature and humidity, a sturdy table to set the computer on (I have an iMac) and a good chair to sit on. I always close the windows and lock the doors when I go out of the house. That's all I can do to make my computing environment secure.
I have the impression that around 50% of the people like 3D and the rest doesn't. Because theaters have invested a lot in 3D this means it won't go away for a long time.
He was not a diagnosed aspie. As far as I understand it from the newspapers, some of the people who were close to him said that he may have had Asperger syndrome because he acted so weirdly. But with a mother like that and no real friends, who would have made him go to the hospital to be tested?
I truly hope Israel has destroyed itself long before that. If the US wouldn't pump billions of dollars into their 'economy' every year (billions they could use better for themselves) they would have ceased to exist long ago. I completely agree with Anonymous Coward above. Hopefully Netanyahu and his cronies will be voted out of the government soon and then the peace process can start for real.
I live in Holland. We have just about the lowest unemployment rate of the EU. We don't have food stamps but we do have 'food banks;' places where poor people can get food for free or for a very small fee. I find it a crying shame that one of the richest and most 'social' countries in the world has these things. Bit our successive governments are rapidly breaking down our society by cutting spending on education, research and innovation, green technology (we are the dirtiest country in Europe and we do even less to improve our environment than Belarus does), deminishing pensions etc etc...
This. Every species alive has evolved for as long as it exists on this planet. Some change more than other but they all have to adapt to changing environments.

Her husband bought it :). For himself even.

I don't think NRA members even read books... ;)

Yeah, let's turn the USA into an African country where rebels fight each other for power at the expense of the rest of the inhabitants.

The wife of a friend of mine has been using one of those on the iPad 1 for a few years now. She doesn't like touching the screen with her fingers.

Ah, that must be it. Thanks!

IMO the old MacBook Pro with the grey keys had the best keyboard ever.

I can tell you that. The end will come about a year after their new headquarters is opened.
