You could always set the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" in the compatibility settings for iTunes, then switch Windows back to whatever DPI setting you like.
Do you like seeing the individual pixels or something? At 28" 1920x1200 is a horrible resolution. In my opinion 1920x1200 should be no larger than 22". At that size, the 2560x1440 monitors at that size are a bit more reasonable.
I never remember 1920x1200 ever being the most common size. 16:10 was the rage for a short period of time, but 1680x1050 was far more popular than the larger and more expensive 1920x1200 screens. Nowadays everything is 16:9, with 1920x1080, 1600x900, and 1366x768 all being popular (and of those, only the first is even tolerable IMHO). You can still find a limited number of the older aspect ratios and resolutions, but it's getting tougher.
Why bother with USB 3.0 when this port exists at about the same price?
Because people are going to expect that your computer has USB ports, and since a USB 3.0 port won't cost any more than a USB 2.0 port you might as well make them USB 3.0 ports. Now that the latest chipsets introduced by Intel and AMD have built-in USB 3.0 support it's not like it's adding any real cost to the motherboards.
You go on moderate road trips 1-2 times a week? Then buy the gasoline powered car. But to drive around a vehicle all year because it has some capability that you need sporadically is ridiculous. Same thing applies to most people driving around those giant SUVs and pickups.
I can quite easily see the pixels on any standard-sized desktop LCD display. The highest DPI you can buy is just barely 100 DPI, which is actually kind of sad. Some of the higher density laptop screens are starting to get to the point where it's harder to make out the individual pixels (that's around 140 DPI), but you really have to go to 200 DPI or higher before you can't actually make out the pixels. That's pretty much only iPad 3 and IBM T221 territory.
Well, if you have a decade to pay it off, that's one thing. But if they want the money now and you don't have it, when they don't get it they start tacking on fees and interest, and more fees and interest. Meanwhile they ding your credit score, put you in universal default, and impact your ability to rent or buy a place to live, buy anything on credit, make sure you pay top dollar for things like car insurance, and a cell phone contracts, price you out of any future non-ER medical care, and even lock you out of many jobs. So yes, you can get ruined by $30k in medical expenses in this country.
The AV software for Apple is the same as it was for Unix and Linux. It was not that PC viruses could infect *nix. Microsoft, Norton, and McCaffee, were using propaganda marketing telling people that *nix file servers could not clean up viruses like a NT file server could and were dangerous since they could house viruses causing Windows to become infected. Since most VPs are dumb enough not to understand the unimportance of that marketing ploy, a lot of AV products sprung up for *nix and iOS.
To be fair, for a while the only real solution to making sure your corporate Samba server wasn't serving up viruses to your Windows clients was to have a Windows box (slowly) scan the server with whatever Windows-based AV program was popular at the time over the network. Luckily those days are over.
My company did the same thing. $25 gift card to Best Buy. Gee thanks. It was tempting to just throw it away, but that's $25 in Best Buy's pocket, which didn't sit well with me either. It was much better when it was a $25 gift card to the local grocery store. Yeah, groceries are boring, but as I regularly shop there anyway spending it was completely effortless.
I drive a prius, I am disappointed with the fact that they STILL use outdated nimh batteries instead of lithium. Afaik they also don't use any of these new awesome ultracapacitors, so what the hell are they doing? The industry's stagnation annoys me, and I doubt I am alone.
Why? The Prius is a very good application for NiMH batteries. The battery acts more like a buffer than the power source, and the durability and longevity of NiMH means the battery pack should last more or less the lifetime of the rest of the car. Lithium would gain a slight MPG advantage by cutting down on the weight of the vehicle, but you'd have a more expensive battery pack that would need to be replaced at least once and possibly twice in the car's lifetime.
In theory you could simply run the Volt off of gasoline and never plug it in, but then you'd have a very expensive and heavy compact car that only gets compact car-like mileage.
You're probably thinking of the several thousand dollar charging station that you have to buy and have installed if you want to recharge the batteries in a reasonable time. You can change the Volt off of a standard 110V outlet but it takes a long time (I think on the order of a day or so).

I don't know about many manufacturers. I may be wrong, but as far as I can tell only GM does this.

I'd be careful. They may replace those 1280x1024 monitors with something like 1366x768.

If I had to guess, it's because the HD5550 supports Eyefinity and the HD4850 does not? I mean, he specifically says that he uses 3 monitors.

So, that means that IE7 is supported until at least 2017 (due to Vista) and IE8 until 2020 (thanks to Windows 7?) Ugh.

No, it's copyright infringement.
It's simple. Mix all three colors and you get brown. Not indigo.
No, but I'd download one.

The scary thing is, if history repeats itself, Santorum will be labeled as the *moderate* candidate in 2016.
If I had to guess, Andrew Jackson's administration in the 1830's.
I was about to say "Welcome to floating point math." but I can't figure out exactly how they it manages to get that result.
Seems you have forgotten. It's short for "IBM-PC compatible".

And diesel cars are even safer.

Or you rent a gasoline powered car for that 1-2 times a year that you need the capabilities of one. It's not that tough people.

I don't recall any Dells like that, but NEC had a design with the bays on the bottom back when the original Pentium was a desirable chip.
