I myself love having more space... However for most people they just complain that everything is too small. So for the most part the past decade in a half displays have been staying at the same DPI.
This is an important observation and possibly a major reason why the DPI of the displays has stayed low. The operating systems can't be adjusted to it. It kind of works but it's still a hack. I have a good vision but sometimes am annoyed by the small text of my 135 DPI laptop.
It is good though that Apple works as a pioneer to create this kind of hi-res stuff to challenge the problem!
A very large number of electronics from the '90s and 2ks simply fail due to cheap capacitors. Why is it a 2005 motherboard has to have its capacitors replaced while my old NES and C64 still work fine? My 1994 receiver also has issues while a 1973 receiver still works fine...
It's crazy how true that is. During the last 10 years, "have you checked the caps" has become the standard electronics answer, and so often it actually is the source of failure.
I have some hope that Apple will open up some more under Cook.
It would actually be interesting to hear more about what Tim Cook is, umm, cooking. After Jobs passed away, I don't remember seeing any Cook news in Slashdot, for example.
I really look forward to the day when the Linux desktop just works even if that means it's Gnome based.
Keep waiting, buddy. There's already been too much screwing with different desktop environments and broken software. I can occasionally fire up Ubuntu in a virtual machine or a netbook, but otherwise, I'm over with this.
If you want an okay all-around OS, use Windows 7. If you want UNIX, just use a Mac. For servers, Linux is of course fine.
now things are very mac-like... where everything works perfectly, but sort of comes with a sticker saying, don't change it too much, coz it's perfect the way it is!!
Also way back when GNOME2 was introduced, many geeks didn't like it because "you can not configure almost anything". Just if I could have shown them Unity back then, I bet they would've swooned...
Aw shucks, I'm kinda low on money. I really need to spare some weekend to crack this quantum thingy, and a couple of those all-time toughest problems in mathematics.
Maybe some extreme sports could be a good steam vent for Ballmer too. After all, he is the one of the bunch who takes his chairman position sometimes a bit too seriously...
Imagine that. If you lived in Northern Europe, I could sell you 100/100 FTTH with no caps and no blocking of any kind, for less than what you're paying now.
Also, a kind of "success-makes-success" feedback loop sometimes biases products in a frustrating way. Say, in a music or app store you first manage to get your product in the "Most popular" list. That in turn makes people more likely to see/buy it, keeping it more firmly in the list, and so on. Some "Interesting picks of the day" list would be more fruitful.;)
I still opine that the rapidly changing selection of APIs, libraries, sound daemons, desktop environments, etc. of Linux world are a turndown for commercial developers - be it applications or games. It's hard to figure what you should exactly target and, soon your product is broken anyway unless you keep re-adapting it constantly. Most of your stuff will be from the current distro repository.

Man, I can just feel CANYON.MID playing through my head as I think about the coming excitement.
Hehe. Let me share this just for the kicks: CANYON.MID Played on Roland MT-32
Interesting idea!

As a bonus, here's a nifty DPI calculator.

Wasn't that Kim Jong-il?
Not exactly, he was the internet expert.
Sharks could also swim their way out of flooded manufacturing plants.

I was thinking about tucking one of those nano-sized Wifi adapters to the Model A board. :)

Why Slackware?
That's sad news, who knows if Conical could have been useful for Ubuntu.

On the contrary, CDs are perfect.
Really? So why do professionals/studios use higher sampling rates?
One major reason is that by doing so, the signal can take more editing without losing fidelity in the process.
I think there is still missing version for standard Linux desktop.
In MythBusters, they misheard it "Don't think" so maybe he remembered it from that episode. :)

can we tag this as bullshit?
We can tag this as bullshit. I added the tag to the story, a couple more and it will show up there.

This is true.

How about Photoshop Elements? It should hit the right spot in this scenario.
