You have to void your warranty, break the Apple TOS ( god help you if you do ), and then be treated as the enemy by Apple once you jailbreak your iToy.
And all that so you can write software for iOS which you will never be able to put on the app store without forking cash for a Macintosh computer and the yearly developers fee?
According to religionists, isnt death only the beginning?
Were here on Earth for what, 80 odd years?
How does 80 years on earth compare to 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 x10^800000000000000000000000000000 years in [insert heaven or hell of choice here]? ( which is not even a tiny insignificant fraction of eternity BTW )
How exactly does this group know that a baby is going to be a warrior or a philosopher when it is not even a year old? Let alone being Jobs Himself?
If Steve Jobs had been reincarnated it would have to happen after Steve is dead, and so any baby born after the moment of his death is a candidate.
But this is one hell of an extraordinary claim to make, so lets see if they have some extraordinary evidence to support this claim, then we can that the thought seriously.
Google voice search is racist. If you ask "show me pictures of white people" a bunch of thumbnails of white people show up. If you ask "show me pictures of asian people" a bunch of thumbnails of asian people show up. If you ask "show me pictures of green people" a bunch of thumbnails of green (coloured) people show up. If you ask "show me pictures of black people" all you get is a text only Google search result.
Overly PC Google and overly "sensitive" niggers who think the world constantly owes them shit.
Not really, just an abundance of overly racist lowlife scumbags like yourself who cause companies like Google to create these measures because you all like to be vocal about your despicable racism and general douchebaggery.
Now hurry up and go rot in hell or whatever fictional afterlife you so choose.
why go with such big apertures if you want everything in focus? the beauty of such apertures is you can isolate your subject and blur the tits off everything else in the frame.
sensor dynamic range is increasing all the time - i'd say by the time one of these lenses works for visible light, they'd be unnecessary.
of course, there'd still be a need to focus with one of these - the focal point depends on where the subject is.
Because sometimes the entire landscape *is* the subject and you want to take the photo without long exposure times which necessitates a tripod.
Does it warn you that since the battery can't be removed then in 3 years the laptop will be tied to a power outlet in the future? I don't mind (much) that laptop parts can't be upgraded but is it really too much to expect parts that are definitely going to fail after a few years (battery, fan) to be replaceable?
If you can afford to buy a MBP with retina display, then you can afford to pay Apple to replace the battery, or just buy a new MBP.
The high end Apple products are not designed/marketed for the average person, they are designed/marketed for the average rich person. This is seen by the lengths Apple goes through to make sure that Apple products are NEVER seen as cheap ( banning the use of the word 'free' for iDevice giveaways etc etc )
Slashdot Mirror
You forgot to read the memo. iPad is supposed to be the death of the desktop PC remember.
With no laptop or PC or Macintosh, iPad is your only option remember?
Yes, they are the same size as Apple keyboard keys. Have you ever actually used an iPad to type anything?
Which changes his point not one iota.
Its not a 'non-answer' its an invalid answer.

What a joke.
But it is only about money, though. Beyond that, Apple doesn't care about users either.
And beyond money, does any business care about its customers?
No. Customers are just a source of money. If a business could make money without customers, they would ditch the customers in a heartbeat.
NEVER underestimate the power of human greed.
Do "full blooded software development" and "PHP" belong in the same sentence?
Why yes, yes it does.
"Programming in PHP is not full blooded software development"
Whether that sentence is factually correct is a matter for discussion though.
I wonder how long the Slashdot editors spent thinking of a word for "bolt" that starts with S.
Isnt getting all words of a headline starting with the same letter something like a journalgasm for journalists?

Once we die, the real fun begins.
Apparently.
So drink up...or not, it makes no difference.
Apparently.
Drinking alcohol does not need to be a binary "nothing" or "passed out in a pool of your own puke"
Moderation is key, take the middle path. You get to enjoy a drink, but dont ever have to worry about your drinking, and what it is doing to you.
I read TFA. Saw a picture of the DIMM and it said in big bold letters, AGIGARAM...
A gig of ram? Is that all?
Too small, do not want. /s
Hybrid sleep? battery? Having trouble finding this on my desktop computer.
Do you mean the CMOS batery? if so, wrong battery.
2/10 Troll.
Let me guess, you own an iPhone, and jerk off on your sense of superiority over others because of your phone?
Your mental capacity is as small as your screen size.
Some of us simply want to have a serious alternative to iOS devices that only run what Apple says they can run,
I would rather the serious iOS alternative not have Apple dictate what apps it can run.
Apple already has a 100% monopoly in the iOS market.
Sigh, if only Slashdot had a post edit feature like everybody else.
"take that thought seriously"

Unfortunately, The Police could not be reached for comment.
Joke not so obvious....what do the police have to do with this?

The article you linked to talks about trains, not cars.
Guns! fuck yeah!
Shooting people to death! fuck yeah!

amiright?
Private Facebook page?
LMAO!
This guy is clearly crazy.
Good. Nice to see plutonium used for more worthwhile endeavours than nuclear weapons.

I dont know what is more disturbing, the fact that Fanny Mae had an air force, or that you would name a trillion dollar company after Mae's vagina...
In many ways it is a testimate of the think pad style.
What is a testimate? A grumpy friend?
