Apple never called it a "retinal display". They call it the Retina Display. It's a marketing name. They said exactly how many ppi it has, so I have a hard time seeing how anyone feels misled by their claims.

Apple also has a line of monitors called Cinema Display. Perhaps the scientists should waste their time trying to determine if these monitors could actually be used in movie theaters.

Comment COBOL on Linux (Score 3, Informative) 566

Linux ain't System/36 or MPE or any other mainframe OS. And show me one linux app that's written in COBOL.

Shameless plug: Acucorp, Inc. makes COBOL development/runtime systems that run on pretty much any UNIX-like system, including Linux. We have lots of customers running on Linux from plain old PCs on up to the IBM S/390.

We had a booth at a recent LinuxWorld. Lots of people would walk by, do a double-take, and ask us, "COBOL on Linux?" Yep, believe it!
