You must have never driven on a modern tollway. They use transponder tags and cameras. You don't slow down and stop. TxTag, which 130 uses, will also if you don't have a tag snap your license plate and use that to bill you.
Plus everyone already goes 85-95 anyway on 130 anyway and with the little traffic it has I see no problems since you are hardly ever bumper to bumper with anyone else.
You don't have to pull over. It has cameras that check your toll tag on your car or snaps your license plate to charge you for the trip. Any modern tollroad is like this. They do have places to pull over if you want to pay in cash but it's not required. You can blas up 45 miles from Austin to Georgetown currently without ever stopping.
Everyone already goes 85 or faster on SH 130 anyway. I've been passed going 90 on it. There's nothing new here other than them making the higher speed official since they acknowledge that everyone is doing it anyway.
So despite referencing the topic at hand, which was solely about tool access, you weren't talking about the topic at hand but wanted to throw Apple in for no good reason? Ok...
Learned what from Apple? All Apple get early access to pre-release iOS versions and SDKs. This is pretty much the opposite of what Apple does. But don't let facts get in the way of your Apple bashing.
I realize this is a joke but why exactly is it claimed that GNOME Shell or Unity look like OS X? Unity has some superficial similarities but that's about it. GNOME Shell looks nothing like it.
Of which most people will use their WiFi for intensive data downloading or purchase more data. Just because you use up 250 megs in 5 minutes doesn't mean everyone will. Plenty of people live just fine on 250 meg data plans. This device is clearly not for you, doesn't mean millions of others will have no use for it.

No, there is no truck speed limit. There are also almost never any semis on 130 anyway.

You can barely go 55 on I-35 in Austin on good days and on Mopac it's hard to continuously go over 80.
I get around 400 miles continuous on a 17 gallon tank going 85 on the highways. 22-23 mpg might not be 'awesome' but its far from horrid.
Nope. The 49-mile stretch of 130 going north has about 4 or 5 toll points, but there is no need to stop.
This is between crowded cities with non-toll options.

"All Apple" should be "All Apple registered iOS Developers"

Everyone knows Microsoft has the best marketing engine in the world
You're joking, right? Microsoft has some of the worst marketing ever. Their ads and marketing campaigns are terrible...
Google+ and Gmail have had decades-long rollouts.
Decades? Google itself is only 14 years old...
It has buttons? That clearly must be a mistake that they will quickly remedy.

What do you mean 'may be for real? They explicitly stated it in their presentation.
It's only meant for light surfing and downloading ebooks. It's not meant for running BluRay torrents on.
Where are you getting this 250MB limit?
From Amazon's slide they showed during the event.
Psssshaw. My voice is my password.
You pay $20 per year to get 2GB of data each month?
