They've had over a year to get this straightened out, not three months. If MplayerX won't sell in the app store, some other product will fill the void in that market. This is of course assuming people are going to the app store for such a media player.
Aircraft makers that create stealth craft have to make them indistinguishable from a bird from the perspective of a radar. I recently watched a TED talk that featured an airplane that looked and flew like a bird.
Is it too much to ask that AI designed to replicate humans do so effectively?
Start out with an electronics kit and get them a small 8-bit microcontroller. Use assembly. Don't go for x86 either-I pity Intel for the monster they have created. Freescale's S08 core is a nice starter-you can get a programmer for ~ $30.
The reason this is better: They get to build a circuit that has a function. No matter how simple the circuit is, it is built to fulfill a specific function that they can understand. The microcontroller code can is programmed to make the circuit behave in different ways.
The reason this is more fun that high-level programming for a 12-year old: At this stage in life, they want to become in control. Hoping that your event handler ends up being called is not being in control. Wondering what on earth the computer is actually doing when you give it a command is not being in control either.
Sorry sir, chainsaws don't dig in. They cut by chipping away in very small increments. If they dug in, I'd have a few fingers less right now instead of having to buy new gloves.
I'm sure hospitals everywhere will go for this!
Let all your doctors have an iPod so they can look at x-ray images and listen to music at the same time!

Next, they will rebrand it "CodePlex".
I apparently haven't commented since before Dice owned the joint. Unintentional boycott?
Yes, Android is filling that need as we speak.
This article of course has to do with the *Mac* App Store, with which Android does not compete.

"Living standard"? They're more like guidelines.
Maybe my 1990s-era Yahoo account password was leaked--I'll finally be able to regain access to my account!

...to come up with something like this.

-500? Wow, either you've discovered how to reach temperatures less than 0K or you're not an engineer.
I still would like to see how they can stop me from shooting a HD camcorder at a 30" LCD to make copies.

Maybe Microsoft will finally give in and make WSUS run on Apache.
True, I know a lot of sysadmins who don't get a chance to regularly admire their server logs, processes, etc., though.
I didn't think people needed rootkits for windows...
If only my dorm room was big enough...
Once you get below $500 for a laptop, I wouldn't worry much about what OS is on it. I'd worry about how long the hardware inside will last.
I've seen "bottom of the price range" equipment begin failing within the first year and be totally dead before the end of the next.
