What about Light Peak? Why upgrade to a minor speed bump when the next available speed bump is hundreds of times faster?
Light Peak has enough bandwidth to replace USB 2.0, FireWire 800, DVI/HDMI, Ethernet 1000... all at once, on the first revision no less. Will USB 3.0 ever take off?
So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
Customer: Jarlsberg, perhaps? Owner: Ah! We have Jarlsberg, yessir. Customer: (suprised) You do! Excellent. Owner: Yessir. It's..ah,.....it's a bit runny... Customer: Oh, I like it runny. Owner: Well,.. It's very runny, actually, sir. Customer: No matter. Fetch hither the cheese of Norway! Mmmwah! Owner: I...think it's a bit runnier than you'll like it, sir. Customer: I don't care how fucking runny it is. Hand it over with all speed. Owner: Oooooooooohhh........! (pause) Customer: What now? Owner: The cat's eaten it. Customer: (pause) Has he. Owner: She, sir.
This morning, my shiny new iPad 3G 64GB arrived from the USA! The only problem was, it had an AT&T MicroSIM and as yet there is no such thing in the UK.
This guy imported a product that's not officially launched anywhere except the USA. So of course there has to be some hacking required. This is like people installing modchips in their consoles and DVD players to bypass countries/regions restrictions.
And a LOT of fonts only include the bare minimum characters to display english text. If you need to make a website in another language, it's a lot of trouble because of incomplete fonts.
Interesting reading if you're choosing between Intel and AMD for your next build.
Ah! I don't need to do such a thing! Apple decides for me*!
* please Apple, put a Core 2 Quad** in the next Mac mini!
** Before you say "Core 2 Quad is old technology", compare the processing power, the power and heat dissipation requirements and the cost of a Core 2 Quad vs the Core i3, i5 and i7, even the mobile versions.

Forget USB4, SATA and all the others, Light Peak has the capacity to replace everything.
Can we please stop "disposing" of things, especially complex, hard-to-recycle things like electronic devices?

With NASA's budget going down, this was bound to happen.
And hey, since there's now oil under water, maybe the USA army could fund part of the operation! Let's free the dolphins from those evil sharks!
In other news, octopuses all around the planet are planning to sue Transocean Ltd for patent infringement.
Seriously, what's with that annoying moving lawnmower following my mouse cursor around?

Better not feed your file to Internet Explorer or you won't get rounded corners.

You have an iPad but it doesn't fit in your pocket? Grab a chef's knife and cut it down to iPod touch size!
That was painful to say the least.

How hard could it be, the damn thing didn't use any IRQ or DMA, it only had a single jumper to set the address (default 220h).

If you want to see REAL spam, log into a game of Diablo 2. There you will see the true evil of spamming.
I'm still trying to finish Final Fantasy XI!
There has to be Core 2 Quad with lower power consumption... the current Mac mini's power supply is 110W.
I'm afraid the next Mac mini bump is going to be either another Core 2 Duo paired with the new nVidia 320M or a Core i3 with a crap intel GPU...

Too bad people don't use even a single core to correct their mistakes.
But that would be a perfect place to build a super-heroes training camp!

10 years ago MVS carts were considered huge compared to the other gaming systems of the era.
I think the official line is
"Hell, it's about time."
Forget the clock, what about that awesome control panel!
Yeah! Those damn ads are distracting me while I'm trying to watch those other ads!
Oh wait...
