Framerate performance is... meh. For the hardware I'm running on (eVGA GTX 670FTW, Intel 2600k), I'd expect nothing less than a rock solid 60fps with the graphics on mid-to-high settings. Most of the time there isn't anything graphically intensive going on, but my framerate often dipped into the low 20s anyways.
I'm running everything maxed on a 560Ti / 3930k. Everything seems smooth although I'm not watching the FPS. Maybe it's more CPU dependent?
Yeah, it's not like they sell a similar adapter for $9
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:

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?
FYI, the newer Intel Mac Mini has an integrated AC power supply (only the original and early Intel use DC-in with an external brick)

I can see several fingers that are totally useless on top of an Apple mouse, which can be operated by a stump.
Apple hasn't shipped a mouse with only a single button in 5 years. Troll harder next time.
I like the inline post expansion and reply. Everything else can die in a fire.
Just as long as he doesn't violate FCC rules by retransmitting it (unless it's playing from the space shuttle)
Yeah, PARC really got swindled with that worthless Apple stock they got.
Only if it includes an email client.
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"'.
