I don't really agonize over a $4 latte because I've maybe bought 4 in my life... and I guess when I did I agonized a little.

and man, if 32 and 37 are their options, the software had better be very compelling. Although there is a TON of room for improvement in TV software. And I guess the apple TV plus your 50" plasma is always an option for bigger screen size.

Of course I should also admit that I've never owned a TV and do not foresee one in my future.

I don't think that means what you think it means

I was a mac fan back in the 90's... everyone who was hanging on in the mid 90's were just hard core mac fans; There was very little quality involved.
The prices were premium but everything else was pretty crappy.

They are already using this tech in the Air, and iOS devices

(I read somewhere)

Additionally, government loans are available to help you pay those exorbitant prices; Exacerbated by the fact that often you can buy extra copies using leftover loan money and sell them to a used bookstore to turn that loan into cash.

1997 called and ftfy

They couldn't figure out what happened to the "s" element, so they just used brackets...

so maybe Steve was just that egalitarian. No reserved parking spots means no reserved parking spots for handicapped people, even if there is some paint on the ground. ;)

wait... nope... I just checked. It's doubtable.

It will be interesting to watch this executive team and if they can continue to make new products rather than milk the old ones, but I agree that they will most likely carry on the culture of Apple. The question is about the next generation: Did Steve include passing that culture on in the culture itself?

It sounds like you are assuming that Siri is something that is a primary interface with the device rather than secondary.
I'd bet dollars to donuts there will never be a 3G Touch

You seriously think that? You know that there are plenty of markets in which Samsung doesn't have an injunction against selling tablets, right? You know that their tablets aren't selling, right?

"man, if we just had Germany and Australia we'd be killing!" What?

Why can't the S&P just use historical data to re-construct the S&P as if it had been around as long as the DJIA?

In my chemistry class my teacher never made me memorize the periodic table (e.g. name, number, weight) which is all my mom remembers doing in her chemistry class (she remembers memorizing, not the data). I learned plenty and eventually got tired of flipping to the table to look up 12.01 for carbon or what have you. And all the non common elements (or additional data beyond weights) were still there for me to look up when I needed to.

I did go through the usual arithmetic training but I still occasionally have trouble with some basic multiplication despite spending lots of time on memorization (6's 7's & 8's are a little iffy) I would have loved to do some number-sense training instead of memorizing.

Anyway, I kind of agree with you, but at the same time, sooner or later if you actually use the skill (addition, chemistry) you probably won't grind it out with a calculator/periodic table.

Wouldn't Infra-low prices be better?
