Look at all the people above you who were fooled. It's interesting how the ignorance of a seemingly intelligent discussion can be illuminated in an instant.
Though the glass displays I've seen in museums are always, as far I've seen, annoyingly reflective. I thought they were kept that way on purpose to thwart photography.
This is news reporting cherry picking at its best. If everything in the news were true, the world would end next year, and the year after that we'd all have flying cars.
A strong math foundation laid in high school and earlier will be fundamental to their success in computer science later. The function of a computer really is to mathematically transform data sets from one format to another. Especially in games, where trigonometry is foundation of physics, no matter how basic. See Xbox Live's Trueskill formula if you don't believe me.
Apple doesn't need to invent or be first in anything to reap the benefits, as long as most sheeple believe that they invented or were first to introduce so-and-so technology.
Yes, but you gain on the infinite height of a tab ending at the top of the screen. By having tabs on top with the window maximized, you have to only aim in the X axis and move the cursor up, instead of having to aim at a small area in XY, which is demonstrably harder and more time consuming.
That's the name you were looking for for this concept. People unaware of this law shouldn't be designing UIs.
This is what they realize, as custom roms can squeeze new life out older smartphones, with a slimmer OS, a little background processes trimming and some slight overclocking.
And they are interested in making powerful phones.
It would only probably not work with any generic Android installation if it had special hardware uncommon to Android devices. As it is, the Kindle Fire has LESS special components than most other tablets.
I'm sure that days after it lands in consumer's hands there'll be tutorials all over the web on how to sideload Market and anything that's missing.
Amazon's apps may not work only if they have some stupid version checking / DRM built in. If they're generic apps like anything else on the market, they'll be fine.
It's a cheap tablet with generic Android-supported hardware. The only things that are going to make it uniquely Kindle are the Android customizations and apps that they won't offer on the standard Market. No different from HTC Sense and Motorola Blur.
Complaining about the apps and Android version preinstalled on an Android device is like complaining that a PC comes with Internet Explorer. Just load something else.
Chrome's rapid releases don't surprise you with a "Please wait..." screen or break extensions every release. It's not a matter of philosophy, but annoyance.
Any corporation in Apple's position would try the same thing. Business is a game of market lockout. They gave it their best shot (while trying to keep a straight face), and USPTO called their bluff. End of story.
Microsoft sees the future of computing interfaces and is actually moving towards it. Large buttons makes mousing faster and easier anyway. Windows 8 is gonna support mouse+keyboard, touch and stylus equally fully, no holds barred. OS X is going to have some catching up to do.

That's basically it. They also knew this would hit the tech news sites, for that free advertising.

Isn't it kinda odd that a game that so prominently features a teamwork between a squad of 4 didn't have any kind of co-op for so long?
"Didn't you get the memo?"
If they really got this, I doubt they're that dumb. Part of being a competitor is in price. Every business wants to succeed, right?
I was just waiting to be proven right.
By increasing the price of Apple products.
If Bill Gates did a fist pump today.
Just curious.
Many of those stores also offer a cheap unlocking service for your own phone. As long as you have a SIM-based world phone, you will have no problem.

We're finally taking a break from the Microsoft/Apple bashing. Always refreshing to have a new company to hate.

No camera in the first generation? Smells familiar. Early adopters beware.

I wish I had mod points.

As does in-case lighting... wait a minute...

The main component that runs up costs is the necessary flux inverter to spin electrons back in the right direction.
