At this scale? That'd be interesting.

I'd love an upgrade to my precious Kindle Keyboard 3G.

Please AC, provide an alternative that isn't merely a synonym of either of those words.

One word: patents.

I'll no doubt get modded down for this, but why can't it be a new product category? Why does everything have to be considered either a laptop or a iPad?

What about all the identity theft that happens? Or online bullying? Wouldn't it be easier just to ban tech devices entirely? Would that satisfy your odd urge for knee-jerk regulation?

Because there are no phony identities on Facebook or anything.

Crap. I only thought I was posting as AC. Doh! :)

And ignores the fact that once published, there's no reliable corrective mechanism to propagate those results down beyond a standard literature search. I'm posting as AC because quite a few years ago I published results that I believed at the time to be correct, but were shown to be wrong in a subsequent paper. Despite this, I'm *still* being cited in new papers while the paper that refuted mine is seldom cited. Science isn't some infallible field. We make mistakes; Sometimes those mistakes are accidental, sometimes they're sloppy, and yes, sometimes they're even intentional. That doesn't reduce the validity of science, but it requires us to be more vigilant.

Claiming credit is not a predicate for receiving a reward. The reward in such a case may simply be feeling good about yourself. Don't confuse that with altruism.

Assume my income is high enough that I'm not only paying for the services I receive but that I'm also paying extra. Please explain to me how I'm not being forced to be charitable - and while you're at it, explain to me what ultimately happens if I refuse to 'donate' this extra amount. You've got the most creative use of the word 'disincentivized' of anyone I've ever seen. :)

Semantics aside, this report is actually pretty cool.

Define 'good money' and someone will still decide that they're worth more. Besides, there's no evidence that a developer leaked it intentionally. If that were the case, I would have expected to see the source code likewise leaked. Rather, my guess would be that it was leaked by someone who was given a dev copy. Now whether this leak was intentional or inadvertent is another matter altogether.
