I'm of the opposite opinion, I think once you can have a 120GB SSD for around $80 there's no point having an HDD in your computer. It's faster, smaller, quieter, uses less power, resistant to shock and as far as I know fails gracefully, not currupting the data but just being unable to overwrite it.
And if you need to have access to movies, music, your grandson's Bar-Mitzva photos or whatever it is people put on their HDDs these days, just hook up an external HDD of slow storage because you're not going to saturate the bandwidth anyway.
Apple will be Apple and will have whatever proprietary non user-serviceable hardware they will but that does not reflect on other manufacturers. An SSD is the same form factor and SATA interface as any other laptop HDD. My Thinkpad X301 is pretty close in dimensions to the previous MacBook Air and it has a little hatch that you can open and replace the drive with whatever you like.
My desktop HDDs are usually deprecated after 2-3 computers so I might have one still doing work after 8 years on some old machine I use as a fileserver but I doubt an SSD would fail in that sort of time frame.
I live in Israel, while staying at the university dorms in Jerusalem some of the local kids were playing on the lawn, this is word for word how they introduced themselves: "This is Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Hamza, Muhammad".
Well, I think it is distinguishable and that's the church's problem, our magic is getting more impressive than theirs and they can't use it without being called on it.
Also, probably connecting their existing facilities to another plot of land would require licensing technology from Aperture Science. Though now that I think of it Apple already supplies them with turrets so I suppose it's something else.
Well, I wasn't commenting on the article directly, I was replying to the guy using an example of the highest ppi resolution on the Thinkpads I could think of. That example was of the current generation W510 and T510, looking up the previous generation they only went up to 1680×1050, the W700 (one I've recently acquired) goes up to 1920x1200 and so does the current generation W701 so no change there and while there may be a point to the article my reply doesn't prove it.
From wikipedia: "...As of 2009, the most common acquisition medium for digitally projected features is 35 mm film scanned and processed at 2K (2048×1080)..."
It got me to check 404 though, which actually displays a 404, given 403 and 405 do point to actual comics leads me to believe is actually intentional, geeze this guy is committed.
Surely by that reasoning you should be hesitant to throw "fine-arts" students into story development, gameplay and the like since those are best suited for design and literature students.
I keep hearing about this 'normal' user but I don't really know any. I guess I'm in a specialized field, doing graphic design so most of the people I know need to run Adobe software or Autodesk software. But then my friend's wife is in music and she needs to run specific software for that, another friend is in aerospace engineering and he has to run Matlab and various other software specific to his field, so I'm finding it hard to accept there's this large part of the computer-using population that stereotypically only uses computers for Youtube and Facebook and email and Word that I haven't had any contact with.

You forgot WoW.
You mean with the kind of pay you get as a stormtrooper?

They have more disposable income to spend on other things?

A documentary about how a bunch of guys actually stole a couple of nukes.
I think this Xenu guy tried that once, though I believe it was a different model of airplane.

Try a Thinkpad, they have 15" ones that go to 1920x1080.

Buzz aldrin punched first!

Ooo ooo, I know!
They need a new immersive interface for a new Zune tablet device!
I believe Second Life is much like that old joke of "I'm working on my second million, gave up on the first".
I for one am glad Friends is off the air, because that would convolute things even further.
And as a general sentiment.
Does this weapon, if examined closely, perchance have the words "Bad motherfucker" inscribed on it?
For identification purposes only, of course.
You are likely to be molested by a grue.

They've instituted an In Soviet Russia Day or something over there?
I mean this is some Orwellian "War is peace, freedom is slavery" shit right there.
Get a Tenuki suit in this one?
Fire flower?
