Wait a moment. Does this mean that I'm forced to use whatever DAC Apple deigns to put it its products-- if I want to use SPDIF, or whatever, Bose gets a cut?
ack. Just realized that Amazon drops three or four files for each book. So, a mere 160 items, consuming 1 GB. Yeah, 8GB sounds like a text-only version of part of my living room. Now, on a camping trip, you'd want several field guide-- possibly published for a retina display.
> 8 GB storage is more than enough for any conceivable amount of reading you're going to do on a trip that's shorter than a few months.
Wouldn't you want to have your entire library with you, so that you can cross reference, scan through, or reread your favorite novels when the mood strikes you?
> Your supposed use cases are so unlikely, or so esoteric, that they can be safely ignored as a primary driver in the purchasing decision for these products.
That explains things. You're an alien. "Use cases." "Primary driver in the purchasing decision". What about "the serendipity of reading?"
A corporation breeds at will, asexually, as a means of limiting liability-- be it political, economic, tax-related, or moral.
Want to donate millions to a political cause without drawing undue attention to yourself? Use a shell corporation. Want to avoid paying taxes on US sales? Spin off a shell corporation in the Caymans, sell "intellectual property" to it for a nominal fee, and then relicense it for an exorbitant fee. Want to invest in real estate in the United States, but need to launder the money first? Use a shell corporation. And if you write your company bylaws in Python, the possibilities are even more interesting.
Then as the forces within the stars created heavier and heavier atoms the energies generated within became great. Greater in fact than the Force of Gravity. Where upon the very Stars themselves exploded spewing the atoms out in great clouds into the void.
The fusion of Iron-56 into larger elements is energetically unfavorable, and the star is unable to resist gravitational collapse. You've got it backwards.
Be careful about the word "censor". Only the government can censor.
I take it that you are only too eager to welcome your new corporate overlords?
Scientology believes that it can use the ubiquitous "Report this post as offensive" links to disrupt the free speech rights of others. I sincerely hope that it fails.

The kindle I'm using has about a thousand books on it--totaling 1 GB. My living room has hundreds more, but some of those are illustrated.
True. I've run into this problem with my iPad-- my music collection is lossless.
Picture books, rendered for the "retina" display can also consume quite a bit of space-- though at the moment, I don't have many-- it's mostly SF.
think of the children.

Let's find out, shall we?
it's called App Square. I'm betting that's its just as prudish as the App Store, but with a more limited selection.
magnitude -26.74 through magnitude 6 is what? 32 bits?, it's fairly monochromatic at the lowest levels, though.
where's the revised standard version?
Sigh.
I suppose mainline protestantism is truly dead.
Oh well. There's always atheism.

We could dispense with Alphabet 1.0, and use the new improved version.

Probably not worth organizing your life around, then. If you want to drink tea in outer space, you had best bring your own teapot.
That's because this "god" is unlikely to be your "God."
Mystery Religions used to be quite popular.

So. I was wrong. It seems that round numbers do not figure in Apple's design schemes
Height: 9.50 inches (241.2 mm)
Width: 7.31 inches (185.7 mm)
Depth: 0.37 inch (9.4 mm)
Weight: 1.44 pounds (652 g)
Twenty centimeters is a nice round figure. Twenty point three cm just sounds imperfect.
