$50 in this price range is a huge difference. Think video cards for comparison. These are really 2 different products at 2 different price points. We'll see what buyers want.
Considering that these questions can be asked once, maximum 3 times, before someone posts it to the Internet, now that I've memorized all of the right answers there they go changing the rules. I'll never get that job now.
Apple's arrogance knows no bounds. They begin to think that they own everything apple. How long before you need a license from them to have an apple tree in your back yard? Especially McIntosh apples?
Wasn't there a Dilbert where he tells the PHB that studies show that people accept faked data as readily as real data.
PHB: How many studies?
Dilbert: 87.
The fact that a majority of UNESCO members want to grant admission to a Palestinian state is no reason for the U.S. to "pick up its marbles and go home." UNESCO would be better with U.S. participation...This law should be repealed before the US has removed itself from every UN organization in the world.
This is ABSOLUTELY why we need this law, should keep this law, and should enforce this law. The United Nations is not an organization that has the best interests of the United States at its core. It includes many members would would love to damage the USA in anyway possible. If an organization wants to spit in our face by admitting the warmongering Palestinians, then let them pay the price for it. It was done to piss us off, and guess what, some of us are pissed off. So admit them and pay the price for it. I'm just surprised that this administration actually carried through on this threat. There are sure a whole lot of other laws on the books that they completely ignore.
...However, the overall response redirects action to the petitioners through participating in the open implementation site and contacting Congress, instead of a promise to prepare additional legislative measures for Congress to consider on behalf of the petitioners.
And you expected what else from this administration? I mean, really?
Keep It Simple Stupid. A file is a container for digital data. Add a unique identifier (file name) to locate it. Add external meta data to describe it if you wish. But why does it have to be more complicated when it does nothing more than hold unspecified unstructured digital data? All that these more complicated proposed systems have accomplished is to spend a lot of money with nothing yet to show for it, and delay new operating systems for years.
Today seems a particularly bad day for Slashdot summaries. The successful Russian Progress capsule launch making the booster man-safe again, and this one are the worst yet. Since when was the DEC Alpha MIPS based?
If Apple was half-smart, instead of doing this in part for PR reasons (solar is still not cost competitive with traditional power), they would be building this solar farm next to their data center with the most expensive power, not the cheapest. It would make far more financial sense, including that they'd get a better rate for sell-back in the process.
Of course, the Apple fanbois (including Rush Limbaugh LOL) will be calling this The Great Decision since Apple went to different packaging for their expensive toys.
It is probably more valuable than either its face value, or it's bullion value. Considering that the production rate is 1/year, that makes it as rare as any collector coin that exists -- provided that they date each one properly.
And you're surprised why? Short of a permanent injunction this was completely predictable. Now the fun would be if they're taken to court over this again and have to remove IE again after welding it back in once more.
Ford didn't really look to change the nature of the relationship between the producer and the consumer, he just walked into a cozy little market and blew the bottom out of the price and the top off the volume.
This just sounds like an individual gripe that somehow got accepted here at/. You don't like it, Google does, move along there's nothing more to see.
You know, if people don't like how Google runs their business: 1) Don't use it. 2) Start your own competitor. Google wasn't the first search engine. You can go somewhere else, but don't tell them how they should run their own business. That's nebby.
By a sniper rifle.
This man and his cohorts are enemies of the United States and should be treated accordingly.
This is one of the saddest comments I've ever seen on Slashdot while I've been here.
I agree with the man with the sniper rifle. How many people have to die because of Assange's leaks before the immediate parent of this post will decide that he is a danger to too many people? The financial boycott has finally taken down Wikileaks -- for now.
Assange showed how out of touch he is when he blamed the problem today on right-wing Washington.
Yes, you heard that right: right-wing Washington. I almost drove off of the road laughing at that.
And, of course, he remains totally oblivious to the actual damage Wikileaks does. People die from his leaks and he doesn't even give it a second thought. With his form of thinking, I can believe that he actually did rape those Swedish women as they maintain.
Let's find a few publicly held ones, buy enough stock to control them, and then WE will have a seat at the table controlling the global economy? How hard is that?

They let this guy "step down". They should have fired his ass -- out of a cannon if necessary -- the day the news broke of his illegal involvement.
Universe to Earth: That will leave a mark.

Unions may have been necessary once, but now the produce nothing but trouble.
The worst union lie of all: Only union workers can produce quality products.
The second worst union lie: If you're not paying dues to a union boss you are automatically an exploited worker.
The third worse union lie: Decertification of union representation is only the result of unfair labor practices.

Well that's a bit of a sticky wicket now isn't it?

That a great quote!
From now on, I know, when I do get a tablet it won't be Apple.
And you won't be able to unlock it to use it afterwards.
Yeah, what happened to Apples "People are prepared to pay more for quality, and we're the best" philosophy.
Those people are busy at home watching old movies on their Sony Betamaxs.

What's illegal about it? What federal or state statute have they violated?
They have wiretapped your Skype calls for identifying information. Is that enough for you?
