I am willing and able to pay for a 12-14 inch touchpad if someone would make one, and I am sure I am not the only one. 7 inch is a joke, 10 inch is borderline functional, and I might as well beat the jokers to the punch with "THATS WHAT SHE SAID" :) Seriously, maybe instead of trying to be another metoo and knock off the iPad, how about a bigger touchpad?! This can be the itch that consumers dont even realize they have that some smart manufacturer can scratch. The marketing campaign practically writes itself with juvenile taglines like BIGGER THAN iPAD. Manufacturers seem to be afraid to cross the line in the sand drawn by Steve...

...is not from Apple... Turning the "Final Cut Pro" nerfing into a broad argument for a dumbing down conspiracy is a bit much. The one thing that Apple has done consistently over the years is treat all of their software developers like competitors and all of the 3rd party hardware developers like enemies. The path of Apples success is littered with corpses of once supporters like Supermac, Radius, RasterOps and many others.

Novel by the name The Invincible - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invincible . Blows my mind how much modern and "future" science is guided by the vision of sci-fi writers of old. Have we had any original ideas in the last decade?!

White color crime, internet crime, and in general the "bad boy" rebels are glorified in pop culture and have no problem recruiting into their ranks - the evidence is irrefutable. Marginalizing and underestimating these groups is shortsighted denial. Typically the foot soldiers in these types of groups have little grasp or care for the consequences, so the whole thing about resisting interrogations and stares from cops are after-the-act fluff. The people and organizations that want to protect themselves against these threats need to pull their heads our of their butts and use a lot more common sense in their security setups. These kids are kicking the balls of decades of complacency - the cure is obvious.

The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. I dont think that catching a few individuals will do much, if anything, the backlash may recruit more people into the ranks of Anonymous and LulzSec, and make them angrier.This is a classic insurgency and they are a real bitch to fight.

for creating a middle class for the rest of the world at the expense of your own people.

I am guessing after they did the whole song and dance of bathing and wrapping the body (in accordance with the Islamic tradition), they ran the body through the Woodchipper Fargo-style (in accordance with the Intelligence Commitee tradition) and chummed the ocean.

...and I pity the fool digging through my trashcan.

is to grow a brain in a politician!

...its either Burka on Burka action or some Afgan Pedobear stuff - thats how they roll there...

Folks can always go online to every place that carries TomTom and slam them in reviews creating awareness of what these guys are all about...
