Apple sells 4-5 million macs per quarter. 75% of them are macbooks. Non-mac PC sales are 80-90 million per quarter. Lots of laptops have an apple logo on them (they're probably the largest laptop manufacturer) and they have an oversized presence at coffee houses and cafes, but there's a lot more to the world than hipster douchebags and basement dwellers.
State governments have broad police powers that the federal government does not. It's apples and oranges for Massachusettes to require health insurance vs the federal government to require health insurance. Doubly so if your example is car insurance, since it's only needed when driving on public roads.
This is about taxes. "General welfare" or "regulation of interstate commerce" (which was rejected) don't apply. If congress wants to tax people who don't enter into a business agreement with a third party, they can (and, did).
Congress and Obama denied it was a tax at the time of passage but the first day of the supreme court arguments was whether it was a tax or not (and if you look back at the coverage, the unanimous opinion was: not a tax).
I used the same computer, cleared cookies, and reset the user agent. As a Mac user, they recommended hotels in the meatpacking district, if you know what I mean. As a linux user, they recommended a homeless shelter.
The front-facing cameria is good for dick pics and crotch shots, so you have instant feedback and can get the most impressive angle. Not to mention facetime/video calls.
If the facts don't line up with your theory, a normal person would say the facts are wrong or the theory is wrong (measurements and models, in this case). But cosmologists just invent outlandish theories and particles that can't be proven or disproven.
It's not all bad -- incorrect measurements of Neptune's mass lead to the discovery of Pluto searching for the nonexistent Planet X. I think I'll go with the incorrect measurements, again.
A long time ago, the sourceforge source code was open source. Then s/VA Linux/SourceForge/ and they closed up the source code. GNU forked it (savannah) while SourceForge Inc. went through any outside code contributions, requiring a copyright assignment or deleting it.
Not sure where you're getting your information from. A coworker's husband was on the ISS for a while. I see him at parties and happy hour, where the booze and talk flow freely. According to him, the zero gravity gave him morning wood all the time and he had to whack off every couple of days just to help hom focus.
Apples and Oranges -- having a license to use a patent vs owning a patent and asserting the rights to it. (Something HTC and Right Haven discovered in an inconvenient manner).
This patent pool only helps if both the pool and the patent troll have patents covering the same idea -- if you license the pool's patent, maybe you'll be protected from the patent troll.
Also, Apple controls the hardware, software, and UI guidelines. They double the ppi, update the OS to use double-sized image, tell people to do so, and they do.
If the software doesn't take advantage of the extra pixels, it's like buying a sports car with a lawn mower engine.
nah... Glenn Gould's versions are often the first that people hear. Afterwards, everyone else plays it "wrong". (I happen to dislike some of his work for the same reason). People don't buy gold-coated power cords so they can listen to free music.
When I was working for the man, there was no profit motive for me, either. Sure, managers had their targets and I, in theory, might receive a bonus. However, the bonus was so small and tied to things beyond my control that it might as well not have existed.
I guess most of the federal agencies I've dealt with weren't well-functioning (or have a differing opinion on what the "right thing" is).
Assuming I'm on a deserted isle and assuming I get to pick my fellow castaways, I'd be too busy fucking to worry about SD cards.
sourceforge *is* a dead project.
If you upgraded to a new Mac for Lion then your hardware is good enough for Mountain Lion.

No more relevant than my patent on peanut butter and jelly bagels. Microsoft v Motorola Mobility, though, that could be something.

Prices dropped after Lehman brothers went bankrupt and were no longer manipulating prices. Coincidence? Conspiracy?
Will Ecuador accept Julian Assange's friend request?

I've been checking Y combinator's hacker news (which has more of an emphasis on dumb startup companies) and reddit programming lately.

Take a look at DragonFly BSD -- it exists, Matt Dillon has a track record, and it's doing cool stuff (like HAMMER fs).

A REAL man will wonder if he can stick his dick in it.

It's open source. Create the lilypond files yourself.
"potentially"? How about you find some git that skipped work because of it.

You know that among modern OSes, Windows is unusual in that it doesn't come with a compiler as a standard feature.
The 4 most popular operating systems are: Windows, OS X, Android, and iOS. None of them come with a compiler as a standard feature.
