And you should have spent an additional 10 seconds (maybe more, it was running slow) to look at the pictures linked in the main article.
The MacBook Pro Retina has 16 DDR3L chips on each side of the motherboard, and the SO-DIMM I linked has 8 DDR3L chips on each side of each piece. That's 16 * 2 = 32 chips on the MBP, and 8 * 2 * 2 = 32 (two pieces, two sides each) chips in the linked memory.
Which one is higher density? (The chips are the same size)
The cost of soldering thing was a joke, btw, and it maks me sad to have to even mention that.

10 seconds with google finds this:
http://www.ramexperts.com/ddr3/laptop/pc3-12800-1600mhz/mushkin-992038-ddr3-sodimm-8gb-pc3l-12800-1600mhz-sodimm-204p-11-11-11-28-1-35v.html

8GB PC3L-12800 1600MHZ SODIMM $65/ea.
That's $130 for 16GB, vs $180 from Apple. Maybe the extra $50 is the cost of soldering it to the motherboard?

The trouble with this argument is that WiFi very rarely "just works" without "fiddling about with drivers" while bluetooth always "just works" and bluetooth tethering has been around for years.

3/10.
The concept is good but you gotta keep it a bit more subtle, otherwise people are gonna stop reading around 'bluetooth always "just works"'.

Watermarked content (...) Amazon audio

I'm gonna need some more information here.
According to this:

Since Amazon itself does not apply the watermarks, and labels presumably supply only one MP3 copy of any given song, there’s no way for a label to directly identify and sue an individual if, say, someone were to steal that person’s iPod and share its songs all over the internets

You privy to any more information than that?
