He should check out windows users sometime. They can't:
- find the very files that they just saved
- or even just browse the contents of their machine
- switch between programs without a mouse (I alt-tab and they go "woah, how'd you do that!?")
- change the toner catridge in the network printer themselves
- climb under their own dirty desks to plug things in
- be trusted to install their own software
- understand why IE is a poor choice

Yes, I did work as a support monkey for a little while.

agreed. It's especially annoying to see a car that looks like it's just coming to a stop in the flow of traffic, THEN they signal.

Defendant: "Please Mr. Segal, we don't want any trouble..."

Segal: "Well you better save your receipt. Because you just bought some."

I renovated a house not long ago where the late owner did a lot of work himself... poorly. Many of the outlets had their ground and neutral reversed. Sure, the world continues to spin and appliances will work when plugged into it. It could also kill a person quickly in certain situations.

I make a distinction about that being a good safety regulation imposed by law, versus speed limits where one driver can be safer over the speed limit than a less capable driver under the speed limit.

And it's trivially easy to implement. You know how newer cars will beep if the seatbelt isn't engaged, and other examples of trying to correct driver behavior?

Society needs one of those to nag people who don't use turn signals. Make it so.

As Intel and Samsung are major backers, it will likely be supported on things like the Nexus 4, Galaxy S2/3, and the Intel Orange phone.

Please mod this question up - I wanted to ask it also.

I literally just purchased $110 (minus $.02) of video games from steam yesterday after browsing titles on TPB to see what was popular. The first one was plastered with "BUY NOW" everywhere as though you could buy it and play it, and then I didn't realize until afterward it was just a preorder. (BF3). Then I bought the GTA collection and had to go through a mountain of arcane technical hassle with windows marketplace (after buying on steam) just to be able to save games in gta4.

Also the collection included two games I've already paid for in the past, but whatever.

Those artifical losses due to piracy numbers can suck it.

Then for your paranoid sake, stay the hell away from Javascript! Actually... you'd better stay away from computers all together. Just back away slowly, and get a friend to unplug it for you. If you don't have any friends, just set the house on fire and you'll make some new ones pretty quick.

It's called HipHop for PHP. Facebook made it and it's been out for two years now:

Look, I haven't read any Harry Potter books or seen any of the movies, but even *I* know what a muggle is! God forbid you try to look it up yourself:

You know you can receive money at multiple addresses and manage them all with the same wallet, right?

AGREED - I was jarred by this headline, then followed it with a heavy groan when I realized what was actually meant.

Say what you mean, mean what you say...

Go ask any fresh high school graduate what Pi *means*, not the numerical expression of it, then tell me that schools aren't completely broken. The numerical illiteracy in this country would be shocking if it wasn't so ordinary. Do kids really need to waste that time in the broken schools to achieve such ignorance?

If you know anything about Woz, you'd know that he has zero influence on Apple's legal activities. Just because he's a celebrity and collects a check doesn't mean he actually works for them or tells them what to do. He's admitted in many different ways he just wants to build and hack, not run a company.
