but at least the ibook included the mini-vga to vga dongle in the base package. I mean, as it stands, even though the computer has a port for it, you have to pay for the privilege of connecting the thing to an external screen.
well, I feel spoiled by my 12" iBook's keyboard, can't stand the upwards rounded keyboard in the 12" PB versus de dipped, edged keys of the iBook, and I prefer the softer keyboard. And even though the keys themselves respond to quite light touches, which is why I called it soft, in all truth the keyboard as a whole is decently firm.
That buttons, scrollbars and other controls are spaced further than in windows and (especially) linux.
Personally, I like the fact that it makes the interface much more usable (harder to hit the wrong target).
Actually, I beg your pardon as the article does state in the later part of the second page that "The Mac's vulnerability could also increase as Apple transitions to a product line that uses microprocessors made by Intel Corp., security experts said.", which taken out of context (popularity increase, etc) could be thought of as meaning that the actual processor was to blame.
Actually, summary is a troll, article says "Bigger visibility makes Macs more interesting for virus makers, and the intel change definitely made Apple more visible"
Wait, so now a fair justice system is a tradeoff and not an expectation we place on any governmental organization?
No, no. From what I understood of what he is saying, the point was that, independently of the EU's judicial system being any good, a multinational corp HAS to deal with the systems in place in each country they step into. The tradeoff here is "I get another slice of the world market, but I have to make my behaviour conform to yet another legal system".
Well, I scoured the 'net for a bloody Shinobi ROM (the one for the Mega Drive), so I can perfectly relate to your craving.

Considering the marketing effort Apple puts into most its products, I'd say the reasons Apple is dominating the mp3 player market are: interface, interface, aesthetics (including size), interface, the fact that it's entering a new market (as opposed to its computer section) and interface*
Well, if I'm a games publisher and I recognise magazines have that need, feeding them previews just means I'll be getting good reviews from the previews. And the point of TFA still stands after you conclude that
Well, at least according to Wikipedia, Konqueror doesn't REALLY pass it, contrary to their claims: the viewport is not supposed to show a scrollbar. Small detail, but it's there...
For all we know, he might've had porn on the computer, and not want traces of it left behind. It's probably not illegal to have it there, even if it is a company computer, but I'd certainly not want to leave traces of it behind.
less applies to continuous amounts. "Less milk" is an example. fewer means discrete things, like "fewer eggs".
Also, note "less money" vs "fewer dollars", and "less sand" vs "fewer grains of sand". Some nearly continuous things like money and sand also go with "less".
Well, if you suspect the interface is choking you, you can always do the math on how much the theoretical bandwidth is, and how much you're using. Close enough numbers can be attributed to protocol overhead, physical implementation, and such things.
Well, the only thing it's missing is the tuner, really (and, obviously, the respective software). Even the article said that they (C|Net) had no idea what sort to put in. Plus, it can and will play films (or any other sort of visual media, like series) from any hard drive connected to it (via bonjour, amongst other things), so it can serve as a media hub quite well. Perhaps it's not a Tivo because it needn't be one.
If you'd read the topic properly, you'd have seen we're talking about non-volatile NAND RAM of some sort. Hence, the extra speed does NOT come at a cost to data integrity!
Because the mini is most definitely NOT a computer to play games with. That is simply NOT what it was meant to do. It's a small box, with a nice processor, that blends in in the living room, and does the media playing bit quite well. Why would you want to play Doom3 on your TV? And, if you're into that sort of thing, why don't you buy an XBox instead? Each product has its place.
What you missed is that much of the fun of the game is, IMO, in just EXPLORING the world. It took me 4-5 attempts at starting the game to actually get into it. For the first few ones, I always tried to powergame it, find an edge I could use, whatever. Then I just decided to see what the game had to offer. I walked about, found a lake, dove right in, swam about and found some underwater caves. Intrigued, I decided to explore. In there, I hunted about for some oysters, yielding some pearls, and a few more things, of the sunken treasure variety. Then I took to the hills around, and found all sorts of creatures. I probably spent many more hours in-game just walking/flying/jumping about and exploring than actually doing quests as such. Even then, it was more doing side quests than doing the main story line. Just let the world take you in!
Actually, you only MITIGATE the problem that way. Any zip files you DO download and come infected will still affect you if you open them (which means that if you're fooled into believing you're looking at legit content, you're screwed)
Actually, you'll find that the percentage of computer users using development apps is well below the 1% line, and that the superimposition is freaking huge. I'd say that this sort of stuff would only amount to a 10-20% of people, tops.

Though it's also 2 SO-DIMM slots instead of one. Which means max 2 GiB instead of 1.5. An interesting tradeoff
Because the NEXT computer you buys is a Mac (fllowing that line of reasoning)
