While I very much emphasize with you (I'd like to see 1:1 actually), at least a wide screen will mean we can have two displays at once much more easily. Eventually, a large screen size and better resolution will handle the vertical real estate you and I need.

I was being slightly snarky with es, a knowledge of the 'real' definition that you gave. I think popular usage determines what a word or phrase really means, as language evolves all the time.

I would very much argue that the functional need for 'begs the question' in the way I described is much more useful and pragmatic than the relatively rare definition that Wikipedia states.

Or hopefully the GUI will be intelligent enough to have all the advantages and convenience of a dual screen, but inside a single screen. Then if on that rare occasion you really do want that window in between the two screens, like in a normal single screen, you can.

1:1 would be better than 4:3 since the ability to resolve detail is proportional to the distance between the point you're currently looking directly at and the bit of detail you're trying to resolve (without directly looking at it). Whether that's vertically or horizontally makes no difference.

Yes and eventually 600. There IS a difference.

While I in no way condone the tone of the other reply to your post by anon, I agree very much with his sentiment that much higher resolutions are a Very Good thing, and have been denied to us for so long (perhaps not in part down to complacent attitudes that what we currently have is 'good enough' - not pointing the finger specifically at you obviously).

The lack of eye-strain and paper-like display is a marvel to behold. Going back to an old laptop feels like blur has been turned on. Not to mention if the resolution is high enough, we won't have to worry about the anti-aliasing kludge ever again. Additionally, apps and the OS will also be *forced* to adhere to resolution independent scaling which can only be a good thing as we can use programs at any size, not just one fixed by the OS or software publisher.

In any case, it's bound to happen sooner or later, so let's get it out the way, ASAP, and then we move on - that's what progress is all about.

Exactly, "begs the question" is reserved for much more obvious questions. Perhaps it's a shame they have to be asked at all, or it might be that the question follows on so naturally the previous knowledge just gained that 99% of people would also think of it (or at least should think of it).

But surely this defeats the perceived satisfaction of tweaking and fixing it all up manually? Where's the fun in that?

For the layman, and in as few words as possible, what's the difference between their encryption and say, 7zip's RAR encryption? I thought the latter would be pretty much unbreakable.

I assume they mean the force created by the electron is perfectly round, rather than the particle itself. Perhaps someone can confirm.

Yes, I know that, but I replied because one might expect the news to make Tesla shares shoot up (the market would account for long term as well as short term, so the stock price would reflect that).

Yeah and our pitchforks also go to the early companies and adoptors of SSDs, LCD displays, washing machines, and more! If only they hadn't produced for them for the rich, then we wouldn't have.... er... also.. been able to affor.... oh wait.

The Model S starts out at around $64000, not $90 grand for a kick off.

The stock price went down a little actually today so far.

They're likely unveiling the Model E, perhaps half the price, at the Detroit Auto Show in Jan 2015.
