Fast responses == more interruptions/context switches. That's horrible for productivity, quality, and creativity.

The "quiet" nature of this change is likely to avoid attracting lawsuits from early adopters of iPad 2.0 that bought a (now) inferior product for more money.

Grateful Dead Percussionist Makes Music From Supernovas 57
At the "Cosmology At the Beach" conference earlier this month, Grammy-award winning percussionist Mickey Hart performed a composition inspired by the eruptions of supernovae. "Keith Jackson, a Berkeley Lab computer scientist who is also a musician, lent his talents to the project, starting with gathering data from astrophysicists like those at the Berkeley Lab’s Nearby Supernova Factory, which collects data from telescopes in space and on earth to quickly detect and analyze short-lived supernovas. 'If you think about it, it's all electromagnetic data — but with a very high frequency,' Jackson said of the raw data. "What we did is turn it into sound by slowing down the frequency and "stretching" it into an audio form. Both light and sound are all wave forms — just at different frequencies. Our goal was to turn the electromagnetic data into audio data while still preserving the science.'"

They own the website and its content. What would compel any company to allow people (even customers) to put negative words on their site? I think what's missing here is a neutral, 3rd party to act as the aggregator for consumer feedback.

Most network interface configurations allow you to specify a DNS server for that specific connection. I use both OpenVPN2 and Cisco IPSec clients on Windows and Linux. In both cases, the virtual adapters/interfaces used by these clients can have their own DNS server configured. It is only used when the adapter/interface is connected.
