That's interesting. How old are the kids? I'm guessing that most kids just live with the headphone jack problems rather than report it.

Also, if they know the break was their fault they may just get their parents to buy them a new one.

Do they have to return the ipads at the end of the year? It'll be interesting if the ratio of broken/lost devices continues at the end of the year.

In other news, hackers have discovered that the game, Angry Birds, mysteriously turns on a setting called "DiagnosticsAllowed".

Fixed that for you.

I'm sure he has a reserved spot closest to his office. However, I imagine he occasionally meets with people at one of the other 6 buildings on campus and I can believe that he doesn't have a reserved spot at each of those.

The campus has multiple buildings and my guess is that while he does have his own parking spot just outside his personal office, he occasionally parks just outside one of the neighboring buildings when he is meeting with people there.

How long was he dying of cancer? The article states that he'd been doing this since at least the early 80s.

There's nothing wrong with the way their house was built. It's just what happens when you forget to type in 4 8 15 16 23 42.

That was my first thought, too. I think it's a catchy name but the headline was confusing at first glance.

It depends. There are a lot of factors that could influence price.

Time. How long does this last? Does $30 mil get them a years worth of access? 5 years? 10 years?
Exclusivity. Is Netflix going to be the only ones who have access to these movies via streaming? Do others get rights, too, but Netflix gets to show first? How long before someone else can show the movies?
Same price for each movie or average? Are some new release movies costing them $50mil while others only $3 mil?

People keep bringing up the loss of Starz but I suspect that once that contract expired Starz started asking for a much larger (undisclosed) amount. The amount they paid Starz for movies was undoubtedly going to go up now that they have many more subscribers.

You've got a point. Any man watching a Hugh Grant movie should just walk out. Perverts.
