While I think they should have both, consider this a failing of all other manufacturers not standardizing on a common port to compete with the iPod dock. The fact that I plug one wire into my iPod in the car and get audio, power, and control is a beautiful thing. Maybe there's a chance now with Micro USB becoming standard. The iPod dock and the consistency it provides accessory manufacturers is a huge advantage for Apple.
Also remember that we're coming up on 4 years since the iPhone came out and was ridiculed for not supporting Flash. 4 years of vastly increasing mobile computing power and memory. 4 years for Adobe to get its act together. 4 years to see why HTML5 video and animation is important.
4 years. If this is what we're seeing now, just imagine what Jobs was shown way back when the decision was made.
Ah, the supply side fairy tale.
Friggin' Unix, that do-nothing OS.
Oh I know, and it may just be familiarity at this point but I still prefer Firebug. I'd rate Firebug a 9, Webkit tools 7 or 8, and IE9 a 4...not good but not completely useless like it used to be. At least there's a lifeline for those IE specific issues. Eh, maybe a 5, the script debugger is greatly improved and the network tools may actually be the best.
I'll pretend you didn't say anything about needing Expressions or Dreamweaver and recommend Firebug for playing with CSS on the fly. I've moved to Chrome for my personal browsing but it'll be a while before I use anything but Firefox for my main development work.
I'm so glad the IE team made the decision not to worry about the ACID test. It's only PR for geeks who'd rather care about a single number than attempt to judge on real world use.
IE9 is a solid browser which will of course fall behind with the slow IE dev cycle. But if they keep the pace from IE7 through IE9, IE10 will blow the others away.
While the Green Party is interested in ecological issues, they are not really representative of the environmental "green" movement.

Meanwhile the modern Constitutional Republic consists of 1 wolf and about 20 sheep voting to have lamb for dinner.
What about libraries far larger than 32GB, or even a TB? How about the fact that you could start watching a video on your iDevice and then pick up where you left off on your Mac automatically? Still fucked up?
That's right. It wasn't until the memory expansion pack came out (4MB!) that games attempted 640x480...like Turok 2 and Perfect Dark of the top of my head. Pretty much destroyed the framerate in PD though, which wasn't that great to begin with. (On a side note the XBLA port rocks!)
Think Mac Minis or Nano-ITX boards. You could make a damn small box which for many (most?) people is more desirable than expansion room. The case could also be dead simple with the most complicated thing being the holes to attach the board.
It's not Google Wave, it's Wuphf!!! (which coincidentally is what this week's Office episode is about) I hope I can link it to my fax machine.
It must be good if Slashdot felt the need to shit on it so quickly just because it's a Microsoft product.

Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
