Apple could release a single-pixel iPod screen that's 4" diagonal. It may not actually show more information or have a crisper picture, but hey, it' sure have more "display area".
Wow, I have a small collection of these --somewhere(I think) --from when I was a kid from the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. I didn't realize the machines were already 20 years old at the time.
I wonder if someone could make these machines today, if they chose to.
Didn't that wiki article have about 20 external references to sources such as the New York Times and The National Security Archive at the George Washington University Gelman Library?
That's a crappy excuse anyway. I grew up with computers too and I still learned to spell. Did your school not teach spelling or did you just sleep through it?
I noticed something interesting while reading http://www.clagnut.com/blog/329/. (It's 2 links away from the page you linked.) It's been a long time since I've seen soft hyphens actually used. That's probably the result of 2 things.
1) Hyphens exist to facilitate justified text. 2) Web content, for the most part, doesn't care if it's justified.
That page is also pretty old. http://www.clagnut.com/sandbox/softhyphen/, also linked from your link, displays Safari 1.2 behavior. The current version is 2.03, which apparently displays soft hyphens correctly.
Heh. Okay, granted, the Apple commercials are pretty transparent, but I doubt a comic called Ctrl+Alt+Del is going to have an objective opinion of them.
It also looks like the classic "if you have no rebuttal, just make fun of them" deal.
That doesn't make any sense. If something is proven then it must by definition be *the* true explanation for the behavior of a phenomena. You can't disprove anything that is unequivocably true.
Actually, science is "the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment".
To prove is "to demonstrate the truth or existence of (something) by evidence or argument".
"Science" can't "prove" that the shotgun blast I fired at you caused your head to explode and resulted in your death, but it can make a pretty convincing argument based on observation of the event.
Someone responds with a one-line reply and you label them a snarky douche. Someone responds with a well formatted post containing distinct points and you whine it's an essay. Are you 14?
I'm trying really hard to find an "Apple Extended Keyboard" that doesn't look almost exactly like a PC keyboard, complete with the 6 keys you mentioned, arrow keys, and a number pad. I can't.
In fact, it's PC keyboards that need to do the catching up. Do they have the F16 key yet?

I'd like to think he typed what he meant.
I don't know where you live, but in Massachusetts, a $76,000 home is roughly the size of a 1-bedroom apartment and looks like shit.
Then why don't you use your spell check?

Just out of curiositity, which of those options results in whores?
You're right. Safe is in quotes. And that means exactly what it should. The files in question are probably safe, but you really can't be sure.

Yes, because words which have a particular meaning in a certain field cannot be used outside of that field or that context, right?
Well, it is getting fed. To people.

Prove to me you typed that.
Now disprove it.

90% of puns are bad.
100% of newspaper puns are bad.
I'd rather read Variances and Zoning Volume XIV.
I thought most journalists were already "creative" enough without needing to put miserable puns in their headlines.
(What the hell does one find in a "Scene" or "Lifestyle" section anyway?)
At least your flamebait is italicized. So, grats on that.

"Does it run Microsoft Office?"
"No, but you can use OpenOffice. It's very similar."
"Oh, never mind. I need Microsoft Office."
Do you really think that wouldn't be a typical exchange? It doesn't matter if the person needs MS Office or not; they think they do.
Huh? Examples, please, of things grandparents are likely to want to do which are noticably simpler in OS X than in Windows or Linux.
Have a computer that still runs well a year later, maybe?

Page up and page down are just a poor excuse for a scroll wheel anyway.
Don't like the Fn key? Okay. Right arrow, backspace.
Do PC laptops have a full keyboard with these keys and a number pad? I thought you had to use some sort of a Fn key on them, too.
Wishing I had mod points, as that little program is an interesting idea.
I want to say Apple will never release OS X for crappy PC hardware.
I want to say they'll never find a way to make OS X on the PC profitable, and that they'll never be able to pirate-proof it.
But then, once upon a time, Apple moving to Intel chips was unthinkable, too.
So basically, they encourage the player base to split on its own.
