Because the earth isn't a perfect sphere or egg shape. It bulges in the middle.
So, the problem isn't global warming or whatever. The Earth is just getting fat, spinning is more of a strain than before so it's getting hotter, just like a fat guy jogging.
Since Mars has no atmosphere, wouldn't living on Mars require shielding against micrometeorites? What about radiation?
Why build something above the ground? Make an underground city and you gain "free" extra-thick shielding and you also get real radiation shielding at the same time.
Apart from games and video encoding, we've kind of reached a plateau of user requirements such that a platform like the AMD Kabini would be plenty for most of the average user. Since the average joe can live with only a tablet, I'm guessing even Kabini is overkill by comparison.
If the numbers shown in the Keynote are true, only 10% of Android users run Kit Kat. Most users are stuck with versions that are three or four years old. Given that software updates are sometimes controlled by the cellphone companies, it's not a good situation either for those users.
And telling them to "install cyanogenmod" will get you blank stares. A phone is just a tool for most people, not something to mess around with.

Why do you think the test failed and is meaningless?

It kind of reminded me of my physics class in high school, where I goofed off and got sent to the corner.
I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left hand side.

I think this is the perfect example to show as proof, even to someone with a low I.Q. Physical proof doesn't need scientific demonstration.

Stop feeding the Earth junk food! Go green!

Apple needs to buy SpaceX, so they can nuke the entire Googleplex site from orbit - it’s the only way to be sure.
If your goal was to make me feel old right before the weekend, mission accomplished.
Only life important.
Oh wait, wrong topic...
When we talk about mobile devices, efficiency comes before compatibility.
You could have phrased that better, such as "Trust is like virginity. Once you get fucked, it's gone."

There's no such thing as "1" in base 1024.
00 = 0
01 = 1024
10 = 2048
11 = 3072
Unless my coffee hasn't kicked in yet...?
And that's how baby planets are made.
More like "Ignore my checkbox to Disable Advertising". I'm still seeing banners at the top of the content and at the top of the right column.
Anyway they're a bit off with their units.
1KB equals 1000 bytes.
I'm sure they meant 1KiB, which is 1024 bytes.
1024 only requires 1 bit in base 1024.
0 = 0000
1 = 1024
I win.

Publishing company uses printer to print books. Couldn't manage without it. Whatever next?
How about one hundred BILLION satoshis!
Tell that to Microsoft, Silverlight was their abomination.
Quick, somebody call The Doctor.
Considering the cost of Adobe Photoshop, RenderMan for 495$ seems low-cost.
Swift is not there to "replace" Objective C, it's there to complement it, as an alternative choice.
