In comparison with all the unique features that Macs come with (magnetic latch, magnetic power connector, back-lit keyboard, camera, IR sensor) you'd think a card reader would be easy to implement. And it is. It's obviously not a desired feature.
And if you have professional needs then you'd be using one of these.
Removeable storage in your mobile device just doesn't have enough applications.
How is your two step process of transferring songs to your card then popping your card out of your card reader and into your phone/dap any faster than simply transferring your songs directly to your dap via the same interface that you probably use for your card reader?
Vendors don't SD cards because it adds to the complexity, both in terms of design and in terms of usage. And Apple will be the very last vendor to support such a feature.
It's not a five year study, it's a five year initiative TO STUDY online culture.
"... the MacArthur Foundation will give $10 million in grants to individuals and organizations to work on projects that stimulate research in digital media or explore new approaches to educational innovation....The remaining $40 million will be put towards fulfilling the broader aim of connecting researchers, educators, youth, and practitioners in different disciplines (and across sectors). A digital knowledge hub is already in the works, so that teachers from around the world can compare, contrast, and share research, tools, and findings through open-source software and online forums."
Most broadcasts are encrypted and require proprietary cable/satellite boxes. OTA is only available in major city centers. And what the non-North American market? The future is digital distribution and Apple is right to focus on that.
A review can be some combination of subjective and objective observations. If I'm reviewing a mouse and I say that this mouse has 4 buttons, is that my opinion? or is it a fact?
I just measured my 15" widescreen laptop as having a 45 degree FoV (at 18" away) which means that it would need a resolution of 9000 horizontal pixels.
The batteries are $15 - $25 depending on capacity. It's not the easiest thing to replace, but since you're reading Slashdot (news for nerds) I'm sure you could handle it.
>> Although 40% of PSP owners claimed UMD media was a big reason why they plopped down a few hundred on Sony's pixel-spurting game brick, the complaint from actual owners is there just isn't anything worth goddamn buying on UMD."
It's not because there "just isn't anything worth goddamn buying on UMD". It's a clear cut case of people not knowing what they want. Saying something and actually doing it are two entirely different things. This is why focus groups don't work.
It's an inevitability. Companies exist to fill a demand. IGE came into being approximately 4 years after RMT started happening on eBay. If you want a non-RMT-able game, the only solution is completely different game design. It may not even be possible.
>> In fact, although violating a contract is not typically a criminal offense, it's certainly illegal, and it's certainly breaking the law. That's why you can be sued for "breach of contract".
Breaking a contract is only illegal if the contract can be legally enforced, and the popular clause that goes 'Don't sell the loot, because we own it' cannot be legally enforced. Selling virtual items is not illegal.

So would this work?

I wish there were an equivalent to "geek alert!" when you are already among geeks.
You've probably seen this, but for others:

And why should they? Cameras have USB ports.

In actuality, Hodgman is a Mac user.
I think charging early adopters more would be a marketing disaster. The price needs to be fixed for at least a year.

A better name for this article would have been "Multi-touch screen applications"
And there is a better video here:

No commentary, but a few more apps are shown.
I think you mean viruses.
I can't figure out if you are intentionally or unintentionally describing Netscape vs IE -> Firefox.

>> "loot" is NOT "cash"
On the contrary. Loot can be directly sold for cash via eBay and other markets, or indirectly through the sale of your account.
I also agree with the parent that some leadership skills can be transferred to real life.

True, but as of now, Mac is still at 0 while PC is at 100,000+.
I'd pay at least $100 to get OS X and to not worry about viruses and malware.
According to http://clarkvision.com/imagedetail/eye-resolution. html, you need 200 pixels per degree to max out your vision.

Typical applications:
THX recommended FoV is 36 degrees, which means that your display would need a horizontal resolution of 7200 pixels. This display is half way there: http://www.gizmag.com/watermark.php?p=5257_240206

I disagree. He doesn't get it. It's not an intro to programming course. It's a Java course.

The backlit keyboard is more than just nifty-sounding. I find it invaluable.
