Is rumored to come out this Christmas. If they get it in for $600, that may be the death kneel for the Xbone. IF they match the price of the Xbone, 100% over. And it'll drive people away from the 3DS as well. The Vita is a great piece of hardware, they just have no games really worth investing in.
Disclaimer: Owner of 360, PS3, Wii U, Wii, 3DS, Vita, etc etc... No trolling. I'd prefer the Xbone to be the better system, but from a business perspective, there's no way they could stop a bundle like that.
I think the coolest thing about this, and planets like it, are if you were in a spaceship, fairly close, you could watch it swing around the sun in real time. Like a slow clock hand... or actually, I suppose, a fast one.
But really, the 5C is the same thing Apple has done, at least since the 4S. New version starts at 199 (5s) and the old version starts at 99 (the 5), only in this case, they made the old version better/more interesting to move away from the, "Oh, it's just last years version. Why would I want that?" for those people that aren't going to buy the latest and greatest. There is no huge change in their business plan, they are just being more aggressive on selling "the old stuff" by giving it a make-over as well.
I think some of the resentment comes from a fallacy in the distinction you made: either they worked for it, or they got lucky. But lots of people work very hard, and the poor probably work the hardest. Effort is only one contributor to wealth. Luck and societal help play a huge role in both but many of the wealthy refuse to admit that, preferring to the inflated view that it was all them and if less wealthy people would just work harder, they'd be fine. It's an arrogant presumption that simply isn't true. The guy who works two eight hour jobs for his family, six days a week, for 30K a year works harder than Romney ever has. Yet Romney has over 3,000 times the wealth of that man and generally is of the opinion he got their on his own.
I always just explain it as playing a video game, except you do all of the math by hand and dice, and make up the story rather than having to choose the options given to you by a video game. Seems to make sense to most people I've told it to.
Evernote is pretty fantastic for organizing notes and then, unlike with pen and paper, you have the ability to attach pdfs, websites, etc etc and search through all of them.
This is not the case. If a CEO receives 1 million dollars in stock, he can then sell it for 1 million dollars. If the company stock stays level, he still is being paid 1 million dollars. If they stock drops by half, he's still being paid 500,000 dollars. The stock he receives isn't worthless until he proves himself. It has value and he can do many things with it including selling it at a lower income tax bracket than many Americans.
Public Tuition seems to be rising due to budget cuts and privates seem not to rising in real dollars for most. Planet Money did a great segment on this, tuition sticker price has been rising, but real prices have been staying with inflation; again for private schools.
"Their hardware is plenty fast enough to perform the emulation." Buy Parallels/Install VMWare Hypervisor and emulate it yourself. You don't need 10.8 to run decade old software.
It's not the interface, it's the drives themselves. They aren't really faster than they were when ATA-133 came out. Doesn't matter what interface you stick on there, hard-drives aren't getting faster (thank god for SSD). At 60TB also, the BER rate approaches something like 600% chance over the whole of the drive, or something like that, if they are using the same reliability numbers that current drives use. Terrifying.
I don't particularly agree with Apple's stance, but your argument actually points out some reasons why it may be valid.
"To make money, you must design, market, and sell a product that the consumer..."
"In fact, every company in existence should just quit conducting market research, stop paying for focus groups..."
What Apple is saying, right or wrong, is that Samsung in fact failed to design and market a product that would be successful, they failed in their market research, failed in using focus groups and instead saw that Apple was successful and copied their design. Especially telling that they changed their design to match the iPads before their product release as Apple's success was more important to their design decisions then their own research and design.
"If you think high taxes on the Rich is apart of the solution, take a look at NY State, they did this and the rich have either left or are in the process of leaving and lowering NY's revenue generation." is factually incorrect.
I remember back when granddad had a computer. He'd add up all the coins and do the math required for the accounting for the business. Then silly technology came along and now we have "calculators" and "computers". What happened to the real faces behind these jobs?! How many people are out of work that have the skills to do long division -JUST LIKE A COMPUTER-! It's a terrible thing and we should at once do away with progress. It's far too damaging to the economy.

There is value but if you don't use the items that have value, then for you, no.
I just use a few things in jailbreak... If these sound interesting, then there is value for you.
1) Replacement SMS app - Let's you do things like reply from the SMS notification instead of having to unlock your phone, open the messaging app, and then send on. 2) Tethering and Hot Spotting - Let me and others use my phone as a mobile access point. 3) Auto3g - Disables 3g when the phone is locked so it uses far less battery power. Doubles battery life for me. 4) Lockscreen replacement - Makes my lock screen have calendar information. It also does stuff like remind me if I haven't acknowledged an event and sets quiet hours for SMS and stuff like that. 5) Application Backups - If you have to restore your phone, all your saved games and information on the phone is gone. 6) SMS export - Let's me archive and delete my SMS messages. 7) Unlock - Useful when traveling abroad. 8) Notification Replacement - Gives me Growl (the program) like notifications. 9) SBSettings - Which is free, is just nice to be able to turn certain things off and on with a quick swipe. Also, fixes the status bar to have things like the date.
If there is no value in these things for you, then no, don't jailbreak your phone.
This is the most amazing reply I think I've seen on slashdot. What doesn't it have?! Trolling? Flaming? Irrationality? Presumptions? Arrogance? Everything!

I own three third party cables that work fine with my iPhone 5S. I think the chip is FUD.

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland is fun. Maybe when he gets a bit older, Nausicaa is one of the best "comics" of all time.

Also, the 10-20-30 rule has always worked pretty well for me. 10 slides. 20 minutes. 30 point font.
About seven years. That's the almost clock-work timing of supercomputer to laptop, desktop should be a bit sooner.

Calibre + the Economist online full subscription feed works quite well. Just an FYI if you have a Kindle. The iPad Economist App is solid as well.
