But I can take an original 10 Mbps Ethernet device and plug it into a computer today, and it will work. That is not true of anything else on your list. (except software and/or protocols, but that does not count).
While most (certainly no all) PC mbs include a via port still, that technology does jot seem to quite reach the 30 year mark.
If you think a rotating display is the same thing, take one of those displays in your hand and turn it around in the air. You know what happens, nothing. They did not rotate based on an orientation sensor. They rotated based on a electro-mechanical switch...
I have a 1999 iMac and a 1998 Powebook and the harddrives still work in both, the iMac is still on most of the time. My 2007 and 2010 MBP still have the original harddrives. My 2010 iMac still has the original hard drive. I have a linux machine I built in 1999 and the hard drive has been pretty well pounded continuously for 12 years and it still works flawlessly (Knock on wood).
I have actually only ever had hard drives fail in dell and thinkpad (pre lenovo IBM) laptops, one desktop windows box, and a tivo.
As a side note, I managed to replace the drive in the Tivo and get it up and running without much trouble, Tivo did not supply any media.
You are saying people who could reinstall a hard drive but not figure out how to obtain/backup the install media are going to go get all pissed off and change operating systems and by a POS from Dell?
The person following that decision tree needs some serious help.
The only thing they said was that Lion is exclusively available through the Mac App store. They have also said it can be installed by imaging tools for bulk license customers.
They have not said anything about how it will be distributed with a new machine.
OWC is the only place that has ever claimed this and every site claiming it only sites them as a source. There are already 5 people in this thread (including me) that have actually changed out hdds in new iMacs without incident. At least read the damn thread you are responding to and stop trying to use the desperate justifications of someone who can't admit their mistake as "evidence".
Samsung would make a lot more money helping Apple then they ever would selling their own. I don't think Samsung is equipped to mk 50 million+ Amoled iPad displays anyway.
I am also not sure they are that desirable. Not sure on the daylight thing, but the iPhone 4 screen looks a lot better than the s2. The S2 oes look a little better then my 3GS though.
Display on e iPad is nice, I love mine. The viewing angle is about 180 degrees, not sure how Amoled would help there.
They went to far. Amazon publicly shows your content (when you authorize). Amazon is customer focused. Here is what the AWS Customer agreement says. It covers all services including S3.
8.1 Your Content. As between you and us, you or your licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to Your Content. Except as provided in this Section 8, we obtain no rights under this Agreement from you or your licensors to Your Content, including any related intellectual property rights.

The dropbox tos is what happens when you give lawyers with little or no business experience free reign. The Amazon agreement provides the same relevant protection without all the irrelevant bs that scares people away.
Good one, Governor Moonbeam! You just killed the revenue stream of roughly 25k Amazon affiliates. So instead of just being content with the revenue collected from the income tax of those affiliates, you decide to double-dip and tax not only the income earned by the affiliate but the transaction as well. Instead of allowing you to double-dip, Amazon pulls the plug on their affiliate program in CA and your projected $200+M tax revenue increase goes up in smoke.
Well, no. First, the $200M isn't just from Amazon, and the other affected e-tailers aren't all trying to take similar steps to eliminate their business nexus with California. Second, the revenue from Amazon would only be simply lost if the transactions still occur, and still go to Amazon: but that presupposes that the affiliate program had no value to Amazon whatsoever. That supposition is unreasonable.
The location of the affiliates has little to do with where they are generating sales, so it is not that unreasonable.
I think a lot of people recognize that highly polarized politics hardly get anything done. We also recognize that we only have new problems arise in government when they are cooperating.
Samsung has a good size portfolio themselves, but this is another silly move by them. Suing your largest customer who is paying their bills is almost as stupid as copying your largest customers product.
These are the codes people entered into a lock screen "alarm" app. Most people likely did not enter their real code in it. Maybe some people felt a lock app that you could get around with the home button was a good idea and actually used it...

So wrong. So funny. So true.
I live in an old house in th middle of a HOA community, but not subject to their rules. I read their restrictions for new project ideas.

The problem is the developers. Or if you think rosetta support is a real big issue, write a PowerPC emulator :)
Good point..

Your first thread is someone asking a question that you state as a fact and no one ever actually answers it. What was the point?

Wow, that is so exciting... A whole 3 million! Golly.

very few people will be swayed to a tablet with no software for $50. HP has a steep climb ahead.
I quite easily get over 9 hours of continuous wifi use on my iPad.. Maybe your is broken. That would be the low end with very heavy use.
Your just confused. The only restriction is Apps linking to external sources to buy digital content...
Well I read rss feeds in pulse, good stuff.
I do not read NYT anywhere
Maybe, but my $3 hdmi cable from Amazon blows away the durability of any monster canoe ever made.

It was 1 million Apple Tvs in December, not huge by Apple standards but it is still significant.
Apple is the largest OEM Semiconductor buyer in the world.

They are not a customer that is easily replaced.

I am sure the developers are lining up for Android.
