Yeah, that sentence turned me off a bit. It's a very cool project to be sure, but the "this has never been done before in history"--besides being redundant--is just a little too much.

The minute you start to hook stuff up to that dev board you'll find there's a possibility of getting into electronics proper. Need a sensor? You'll learn about op amps, gain, noise, ADCs, etc. it's not ALL about the dev board.
OK, let me spell out exactly what I meant since everyone missed the point.
No matter what Apple does they are going to be criticized here.
Was it really that difficult?
Apple stops using a supplier that employs underage workers: Apple is guilty of putting kids back on the mean streets and depriving families of much needed income.

Take your pick.
That's because the desert had turned to sea and there were plenty of fish to eat.
Obviously you've never been through the desert on a horse with no name.
"Unfortunately most Slashdotters seem to support this government and want to make it even larger and more involved in everyone's daily lives."
You must be reading a different Slashdot that I am. For instance, you should check out any post that has to do with gun control, s/w piracy or net neutrality.
Also, Swartz's death is a sad story, but I'm a little irritated that so many people are using his suicide to further their own agendas, no matter how just they may be. He left no suicide note. The claims that he killed himself because of his legal woes will always remain conjecture. The guy suffered from depression, after all, and depression is a documented killer. Ten percent of people that suffer from it end up committing suicide.
Charming. I'm sure you'll end up with a very quality woman. Or at least a very desperate one.
Really. Have you ever been to that town?
That is the very essence of a free market and supply/demand. Price gouging is when you charge an earthquake victim $5 for a small bottle of water.
NatasRevol is right. When reputable papers publish stories with factual errors it wouldn't be unusual for someone to lose a job. Even my college newspaper had a "one screwup" policy. On the next one you were gone.
Wow, there's nothing like a story about swearing to show the maturity of the typical Sashdotter. I guess it's time to head over to YouTube for some truly insightful comments.
Precisely.
Tinnitus.
That's not insightful. That's stupid. I regularly go through my entire work day without swearing. Swearing is for people with no imagination or poor command of the language.
