I've always wondered how much machine intelligences would appreciate being called "artificial" considering that implies that their intelligence is just an imitation of our own whereas in reality it would probably be vastly superior.
Oh well then today I learned something. They must have sucked something fierce then too because I played for a couple years and had never heard of them.
In the old EQ days (I know it's still around but who cares these days), all the forums for the game were run by the fans because there were no official ones. I have a feeling this change will cause similar forums to rise in popularity and Blizzard will accomplish little other than losing control of the conversation and pissing off their users.
Why should we let Apple (or any other company) abdicate responsibility for their supply chain?
I'm not saying we should. It's just disingenuous to call it "Apple's plant" which I've seen repeated over and over again. Lots of companies contract Foxconn and Apple seems to be the only one trying to fix the problem so why are they the one being singled out for criticism.
It's not Apple's plant, it's Foxconn's. I like how everyone is blaming Apple first for the suicides caused by another company and then when they try and fix a problem they didn't cause, people blast them for that too.
Looks like we'll be paying $50 more if we want one. On the plus side, the iBook application was also announced for us and up to this point it wasn't clear if we would be getting it.
Personally I love it when they ask for this. Nothing pleases me more than writing a resume whose formatting seems to change based on what version of Office you're using...
I don't think this is necessarily a bad idea. It's not like it would be the first phone/pda/whatever that had a separate keyboard. The fact it only works in one app is idiotic though.
Also, I had assumed when I first saw the picture of the iMini pet things that the problem was they looked a little... excited.
Is that an iPod in your dock or are you just happy to see me?

Without one you'll be defenseless against ninja attacks though.
If you wanted to be really evil, you could program it to identify socially awkward teens and have it identify them as the opposite gender.
I said I played the game for two years. It's the forums for the game I'd never heard of.

I believe that town was the basis for the game Silent Hill too.
My port scanner doesn't find anything when I try and scan a unicycle.

I heard you like ecological disasters...
They also announced the Canadian prices today:

Probably looking for things they can get pissed off about.
I don't think the Air or Macbook were updated either because I can't seem to find anything about it and the store still has the old ones.

Once Star Trek Online launches, I'll be hanging with my friends on MSN/Vent... IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE
Do they have sarcasm on your planet?
I think I see your problem. You're using ME. Seriously dude, it's been 10 years. Let it go already.
According to Engadget it doesn't multitask at all.
That's the deal killer for me.

I like how the first part of his Wikipedia article says "Zed A. Shaw is a troll" with four citations.
I'm claustrophobic and get nervous when surrounded by strangers so I'm going to need an entire plane to myself.
Censorship makes me so mad that I'd like to find the guy that added it and until he has to use a plunger to get the duck back.
So... you're saying next year will be the year of Mac?
That sounds oddly familiar.
Is there like a cheat sheet of government approved dirty talk words I can take a look at?
