The best part about this joke is that it's actually true; if you buy enough of something it gets cheaper, therefore the manufacturing cost drops. So in a way they actually WILL make up for it in volume.
I heard about this earlier today and started wondering if Stuxnet is perhaps the first virus of its kind -- is this this the first time a successful virus has been created to attack a specific target?
And since it worked, will we see similar viruses in the future?
I remember that when you ran DOS apps when GEM, it would open a dialog asking how much RAM you wanted to allocate for the program. Hardly a user-friendly desktop.
"There's a lot to be said for having faith in users to make best use of their computer, without pushing and pulling them in ways you think are best for them."
The same can be said for good game design; if there's only one way to play the game, it's a lot less interesting than if there's many ways to solve each puzzle.
I had a brief stint at NASA Ames (protip: don't work for NASA) and I seem to recall that getting a badge involved taking a fingerprint of all 10 of my fingers and showing a valid US passport.
You don't want to mess with the folks at the gate either, since they each carry two handguns.
When this was first news a while back I remember reading on Fark that this will merge "the site that your parents use with the site that your grandparents use."

Well, assuming anyone will buy a Volt.
This sounds like a modern version of when the CIA planted a camera inside the Xerox machine in the Soviet embassy.
You must watch some very... interesting porn.
"Number one, meet me in ten forward!"
Maybe Bugs Bunny found Marvin?

You mean the emergency birth control pill? Well Java does feel like it was aborted these days.

Right, because everyone has a Tesla in their driveway? No, he's not a science hero so much as a marketing hero.
Solution: wear sunglasses when you play Kinect games!

Hell, for that much money we could make a clone of Alan Turing.
Wow, that sounds so hip, edgy, and refreshingly real!
Between the Kinect and the Kindle, do we really need any more Kin* product names?
I could drive to the Apple Store during the time it takes to say that guy's name.
Clearly you've never flown on a discount airline. They can't even afford peanuts, so do you think they can afford engines?
It's gotta be a weather balloon that just happens to be shaped like a missile.
Sorry Microsoft, but this has been around for over a decade.

You mean the Department of Justice?
The logical extension of this is that for paid wifi, we can always use the password "paid" right?
Great! And we can program it in Intolerant.
You must be new around here.
Right, because this is clearly a security flaw you'll only find in Apple products.
