If you can't read about it on the internet, it didn't happen.

Also, in the Internet Age you're more likely to hear about it when someone does something crooked or foolish. I question the Ask-Slashdotter's assumption that things are getting worse.
(He actually asked the right question: why do things appear to be getting worse. But then elaborates on the assumption that the sky is actually falling.)
I'm surprised the feds haven't banned it. IIRC th constitution prevents the states from creating money other than gold or silver coin; surely they won't allow individuals more leeway.
All I can figure is that it's considered more like a credit card than money. Or else the hammer just hasn't come down yet.
A touchscreen is capable of displaying a keyboard, so yes, it can be a keyboard.
And thanks for answering my question, idiot.
Ah, so no argument then. I thought so.
Or, if we're going by your logic, the iPhone wins because it's the lightest. I mean, it can display a keyboard on the screen too so it counts.
How is it a clear criminal offence?
The law that the original article tried to "gotcha" her with went into effect years after she left office.
As far as can be determined there's no "clear" criminal offence here, unless the law is applied retroactively, in which case she's not the only secretary of state who is apparently subject to a law that wasn't in effect at the time of their "crime".
Think you got your logic flipped there, mate.
Leaving aside the playground-quality insult skills (given the low UID did you borrow your dad's
It's one of the funniest things I've read all week.
I see you didn't actually address the point. Consumer Electronics are a different market segment from luxury jewellery for the reasons I implied. Apple is about to learn this the hard way.
I find that when certain keywords like "iToy", "fanbois", "sheeple", "Crapple" and so on are in the post, addressing the point with factual rebuttals tends to be futile.
That train has already sailed.
For the record on this one, the idea that there will be a thriving industry for the repair of niche mechanical timepieces in 100 years but not one for niche electronics is not a point that can be easily answered, but a decade from now? Are you kidding?
1.76 lbs. The touchscreen is part of the computer, hence it is already attached.
Are you trying to move goalposts or are you just an idiot?
How am I moving the goalposts by asking about the keyboard?
A touchscreen is not a keyboard.
A keyboard is a device with physical keys that you press. A touchscreen is a touch-sensitive layer over the top of a physical screen.
How does this make me an idiot? I'm struggling here. Please help me out "n00b".

It isn't a good idea to completely deplete a lithium-ion battery on a regular basis. Keeping its charge above 25% makes makes an 18-hour battery a 13.5-hour battery, which means it must be charged 1.8 times a day, unless you charge it overnight while you sleep.
Still, its battery life is a step back from conventional watches. If you're going to invent a new mousetrap, you should try to make it at least as good as the old one in every way--no regressions.
You don't think Apple are quoting the usable life of the battery?
That buffer zone is already included in the battery's charge controller. When it says "0%" it isn't really at 0%.
And this can be done by any number of watchmakers who have been plying their trade for over 100 years, and will still be doing so in another 100. Good luck getting parts for your iToy in even 10 years time...
Goodness, the hate is strong in this one.
Let it flow through you. It makes you stronger.
Seriously, you're going with that as an argument?
It's as if you think technology exists in some separate reality from... well, anything that allows you to make a case against Apple, I guess.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3. 1.76 lbs, 9.1 mm.
Pwned, n00b.
What does it weigh with a keyboard attached, "n00b"?
Am I doing this right?
almost any netbook, on top of that you can get um for under half the cost of this
next?

Let's see the links.
You posted this same exact troll cut and paste in the same thread to another poster.
Man, the haters are getting lazy.

Except it turned back toward Malaysia, but then turned again generally westward and followed a crooked channel out to sea, along a path that a Malaysian pilot would know isn't covered by air traffic radar, but would not know is covered by military radar.
Foul play is beyond question. The questions are who and why.
