Apple declined to comment about its support for IndexedDB.
However, if IE, Mozilla, and Chrome support Indexed DB, and it becomes a W3C standard, it's likely Apple won't have much choice, because programmers will begin to use it.
Happily for Apple, Google has detailed its approach in a Chrome design document and has begun checking Indexed DB code into WebKit, the open-source project that underlies both Safari and Chrome. That means Apple will be able to adopt a tested version of the technology relatively quickly.
Browser OS/webapps isn't really their market.
Personally, I reckon they are trying to work out who to sue.
i found red lint in my navel. BUT MY SWEATER IS BLUE!?!??!?!! WHY?????
Perhaps you have a binary star system in your navel, and the Doppler effect is inducing velocity variations in the spectral lines in the light between the lint and your eyes.
Is the lint changing colour every 5.4 minutes? Is your head 16,000 light years away from your head?
I think we should send in the University of Warwick to investigate.
It scares the hell out of me,' says Malcolm Day, head of AdultShop.com, adding that if adult websites weren't allowed to have '.com' domains and could only register under the '.xxx' address, then 'many governments (across the world) would try to block them.'"
They better not try that here, we have the Human Rights Act

Wouldn't six be more stable, distribute weight better, and be more redundant in case of failure of a limb?
Extra limbs are a whole extra level of complexity in terms of limb control and present extra vulnerabilities as well as extra benefits. Like with anything, limbs present diminishing returns; millions of years of evolution has settled on 4 limbs as a good number for a large land creature.
Microsoft Z has been found to contain feature X, which purports to do Y but used incorrectly could instead cause W! Linux has had feature X since 20VV, the 'Year of the Linux Desktop'.
True. Incompetent users are the problem irrespective of platform. Never forget - computers do what you tell them to do, not what you meant them to do
Well they could but no company has the balls to build a notebook with a 20 pound battery!!! (not to mention the fire hazard...)

Qute from TFA:
NVIDIA® Optimus Technology intelligently, automatically, and seamlessly transitions between the powerful NVIDIA® ION GPU, and battery-saving integrated graphics
Call me a cynic, but this just sounds like the normal GPU manufacturer PR puff. Besides, when have you ever played DA:O for an hour? It's a 5 or 6 hours session kinda game, at least when I've played it. Swapping back and forth between dedicated GPU and onboard is fine in theory. "Plugging it in" is is fine in theory. THe question still is: are you going to get 5 or 6 hours of current generation 3D gaming out of it when you are on the go? The answer is no.
I also like to play "advanced" games. I just recently completed Dragon Age: Origins.
The problems is, that if I want a decent gaming performance I don't usually have a choice of a small laptop. I'm currently lugging around a 17" HP which works great, but is a bit heavy and eats batteries like candy:-)
Not to piss on your chips, but you can't have battery life AND powerful graphics, not yet at least. Decent GPU is a power hog. If you find a netbook that runs DA:O, for example, the battery isn't going to last 9 hours like the high battery-life ones do now. Can't have it both ways - sorry.
