The relevant article is below. By only producing "luxury" computers, Apple has the benefit of making an enormous amount of money from a relatively small but very spendy user base. That's only going to continue as PC manufacturers continue to compete on price at the expense of profit margins and product quality.
I'm comparing gross to gross. If you want net-to-net, the quantity you probably want is the household discretionary income* which is about $20,000. HP were fined 2% of their net income which for our imaginary household is $400.
HP's annual revenue is on the order of $100Bn, so $108m is about 0.1% of their income. The median US household income is about $40,000, so this would be equivalent to you receiving a $40 fine.
It's called pseudocapacitance: basically you have a hybrid of a battery and a capacitor, aiming for the high power density (i.e. rate) of the latter and the high energy density of the former.
You can cheat this using a ziplock bag, a bowl, and hot water. Get the meat up to an unpleasantly fleshy temperature, and it should only take a few minutes each side on a cast-iron pan to have a nice medium rare. (Use a meat thermometer to check its done-ness when you take it off the pan.)
That's actually something that's happening. Apparently it's quite an interesting design challenge: you don't have to make it sound exactly like an automobile, so there's room to produce a "better" sound. One that provides more directional cues, maybe, or carries more consistent information on vehicle speed, or which is subtly distinguishable for each car so that you can better understand a busy street.
Errors are sometimes purposeful. In this case, probably the editing team were used to dubbing appropriate background noise on footage of cars, because the sound of a distant vehicle would tend to be inaudible.
You want to give people the tools to overthrow their own regime? Fine.
You want to give them the tools, then clandestinely take control of those tools once they're popular to foment a favourable rebellion that suits your own interests? No.
If Netflix gets its own servers installed at the ISP, that's an improved service, but my understanding is that operators want to do things like prioritise traffic to/from their favoured clients when the network is oversubscribed, which is double-dipping.
They started out by offering free roaming onto the other "3" subsidiaries in other countries (which are actually different companies in the same parent group). I guess they noticed how this encouraged people to actually spend money while roaming.
There's little actual cost involved in facilitating roaming. What happens is that every network charges the others high roaming charges, and nobody has any incentive to be the first one to drop and therefore lose the money.
The programmers didn't make a deal with Pepsi; Maker Studio, a subsidiary of Disney, made the deal with the programmers, and also later made a deal with Pepsi. The half-million dollars burned probably wasn't Pepsi's, but the studio's.
If Google want Glass to be well-adopted they can simply drop the camera; the camera is not all that useful in smartwatch-type applications, and is worthless as an AR device given that the display is tiny and off in the corner of your vision.
Unfortunately Google think that they can just brow-beat and market their way around an engineering and design problem in this instance.
At least with your Palm you understood that you wanted something like that, but better. I don't think there's too many people who feel the same way about smartwatches that aren't the Pebble.

You're the kind of guy who plays chess and gets really angry that a bishop can capture a knight, aren't you?
Arbitrary restrictions are what differentiates game design from VR engineering.
Clint Hocking (of Far Cry 2) wrote a similar article last month, using the design of reload systems as an example:

The error bars are 0.05 By, so 4.5 By is exactly the correct amount of precision to report.
Only if he originally owned the home in the first place.

*After-tax income minus bills.

Did you skip the part where they would start broadcasting their own propaganda over the network once it was popular?

I guess you could say they gave it some axle foley.

Nah, the last time I used CASH-4-URAnium they took five billion years and I only got half the quoted value for my stuff.
I'm not even Australian, apparently I just write in some sort of impenetrable code.
Thanks, I had no idea it was a specifically British idiom. Sokath, his eyes uncovered.

I suggest reading the article. Any of the four.
Typo. I mean production. I definitely do not mean that existence is all an elaborate ruse to distract you from the terrifying truth about reality.
Nope.
