I'm anything BUT an Apple fan, but I think their new design for the Mac Pro is better looking and probably more functional from a shape perspective than this idea from Alienware. Glad to see manufacturers trying new things, but I hope they keep looking.

I don't understand how this fits in to Google's business model. Amazon, I understood -- but Google is an advertising firm. They don't sell tangible products that require delivery. Why do they care about how things are delivered when they don't deliver anything?

Thanks, I thought it was funny, too. Wasn't looking for up mods, but I think whoever modded down must be having a bad day.

Your evidence is that you don't believe anyone can type 15 words with decent grammar in less than 30 seconds? Boy, I can't wait to hear your theories about 9/11...

I was with you until you referenced psychic/emotional violence. Psychic violence is probably a very different thing from psychological violence which you probably intended to refer to. Psychic violence sound more like someone with ESP is angry.

Linear tapes are impossible to edit.

How do you figure? Hollywood made much of its money doing exactly that.

A single person giving up 1/8 of their income for the benefit of everyone instead of themselves is just putting themselves at an economic disadvantage

Really? Most of us pay much more than 1/8 of our income for the benefit of everyone INCLUDING ourselves anyway. It's called taxes.

Crap... No mod points.

Um... I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you're doing here. If this is the kind of battle you choose, I'm not sure what ones you don't choose.

Don't emergency vehicles sometimes use this to their advantage to turn an intersection into a 4-way red light so that they can get through? I know I've heard of ambulances and fire trucks having a button that makes all stop lights near them turn red, but I have never tried to verify the truth of the claim.

Seconded.

As a white male, I have zero belief that my opportunities are being limited by these initiatives. I'm not sure what you're afraid of, but I, for one, appreciate the different thought processes and ideas that come from people who *aren't* white males. We are stronger together than we are apart.

I don't know that anyone would call the storm troopers "accurate" though...

Not to mention, the Surface Pro 3 line doesn't even fully release until the end of August...
