Even if there were a new Mac Pro from Apple, I doubt that most people who built a hackintosh will buy one. Isn't the appealing of the hackintosh the low cost to build versus the Apple models?
Why on earth does every video have a soundtrack? I find it extremely distracting from the presentation to have music playing, but this isn't even in the background; it dominates my attention
I really believe that having so much music omnipresent in our daily lives diminishes the value that we place on music. And it distracts me from the message the video is really trying to convey: what do you want me to pay attention to; the content or the music? Sorry, I'm too dumb to pay attention to both.
...what is Lessig's new SuperPAC going to accomplish? Will it even fund its first-round goals? Outside of nerdy, academic circles, does Lessig have any name recognition? Do we know for sure that money = influence in anything other than the long term (decades)? Look at the last election cycle: the Republican Tea Party did pretty poorly, considering the vast sums of money that was spent. How do we that this money wouldn't be better spent other ways?
There are just too many unanswered questions, which, seeing that this is coming from a thinker like Lessig, is pretty disappointing.
Sears used to be a great place to go for auto service, but the rise of cheap tires and oil changes at places like WalMart really took a bite out of their business. They could have competed on price or quality of service, but I think they just gave up. The last time I was at a Sears auto center, it was a really grim deal. None of the employees seemed that interested in helping me, and their prices were ~30% higher than their competitors.
This strategy of embracing all things internet seems to be their current game plan: when you talk to a salesperson in-store, part of what they're trained to do is guide you through the process of shopping online. Clearly, this doesn't bode well for Sears' brick-and-mortar presence, nor for the employee forced to sacrifice his own commission, but it's where the future of retail is headed. However, to put all your eggs in the internet basket seems unwise. There's always going to be a market for skilled auto-mechanics that are associated with a company with a good reputation, but a Sears data center? I can think of dozens of companies that I'd turn to first.
I have a crazy idea; how about not making garbage? Maybe that'll add a bit of value to the company. Maybe devoting resources to the people that, I don't know, create everything you sell would work out OK. Perhaps if you left them the fuck alone to work in whichever way suited them best would benefit you and them.

"Ender's Game" is basically one giant fascist apology, that is not only offensive on its face, but terrible written as well.
From their FAQ:
"We have begun work on the user interface and software."
Begun? Wouldn't that come first? I mean, if you're going to run into legal issues, that's where it would be, right?
I think the author could use a refresher in critical thinking. It seems to me that he's making an appeal to ignorance; I don't know of any big ideas, therefore they don't exist. These days it's easy to point at things like the rise of social media and the rapid dissemination of trivia, but that isn't evidence of a reduction of big ideas. It's just that the signal/noise ratio is particularly bad if you stick to the regular old internet.
Just because NASA isn't launching anything in the next few years, doesn't mean that the US government isn't launching anything.

What are you talking about? Have you ever built any web applications? It's a nightmare. There's no compelling browser standards. This misguided notion you have about how "when you're able to target the browser you don't have to deal with half a dozen completely different system interfaces anymore on the client side" is sheer nonsense.

If Apple didn't want to have their bottom-line affected by the vagaries of an irrational stock market, they shouldn't have gone public.
Simple as that. Public companies know the risks they take - it isn't all IPOs and piles of investor cash; sometimes investors are going to take advantage of your weaknesses.
I have had severe binocular visions problems since birth, and had no problem with the OP's 'test'. However, I cannot see the 3D effect in movies at all.

I got as far as "Microsoft Study..." and lost interest.

Nah. It'll never work. Start the layoffs!

Any other hare-brained ideas at which you'd like me to frown?
And how is that helpful if the employer's bank is out of state?
Just watch any stand-up comedian. Inevitable hooting and applause at any joke that mentions farts or genitalia.

So the summary implies that a nominal drop in power requires power plants to be shut down? I don't think that's how it works.

You seem to be making a grand effort to rationalize your own bigotry. Why not just come out and say what you really mean?

Even funnier! You should do some stand-up!
Oops, are you being serious again? My bad.
Ha ha ha!
Wow, that's funny stuff right there! "Wisdom of the crowd", LOL!
Wait, you're being serious?
Uh...
