Apple announced the transition to Intel more than half a year before actual machines with Intel shipped...

It was technically impossible to buy a powerpc macbook pro just before they went to intel. Since macbook pros have ALL been intel...

Maybe but Lenovo simply gives you much slower ssd and cpu FOR THE SAME OR EVEN BIGGER PRICE (x1 carbon).

This will have a great impact on starting and suspending virtual machines. Which i do a lot, benchmarks or no benchmarks.

I don't really care why their light is unpleasant. Its fine with me if YOU go 100% led. Can i keep a couple of incandescents though if i like their light more?

I wasn't talking about cost. I use led bulbs everywhere i can - outside the house, hallway, etc. But for reading and such LEDs hurt my eyes, because they are missing some wavelengths in their color spectrum.

Incandescents are ilegal here too (EU). But i know a shop where i can still buy 75 and 100W incandescent bulbs. They are just not labelled lightbulbs any more on the package. I don't remember what they were called - electric heating elements or something. I can send you some if you like :-)

In Finland, everybody has a sauna at home. You don't go to a spa for that. I live next door, in Estonia, and i also have a sauna at home.

Not that i think the Apple wasting space point is valid, but lowest 3gs was not 16 but 8 gigs. In fact 8 gigs was entry level even two generations later, in 4s.

You cannot debunk what he said by just calling it racist. Is it true what he said? If it is, its not racist - a fact is not racist.

The situation where Office is still offered as a one time purchase is probably just transitional. It wil vanish as soon as Microsoft manages to shove the rental model down its customer's throats.

Are the houses metered by hour at all there?

Where I live, residential areas are metered by the month - so you make the most out of it when you face panels south as the only thing that matters is HOW MUCH kWh you push into the grid, the hour it is produced in, is totally irrelevant.

How does one harvest a "voice" "quietly"?

Its just marketing. If the base model was 32gb not many would shell out the extra 100$ for 64 model. But 16 vs 64 - even i am considering it...

I dropped my iphone 5 from 2 meters (i leave it to the Americans to make out how many badger's kidneys it is) to a hard, stone floor. Glass intact.
