Comment Re:The Term 'App Store' is Becoming Over Used (Score 1) 138

I would agree, until I went to the page (www.apps.gov). They are actually selling applications (for example, a text editor for $75.19). Most of what they have now seem to be salesforce apps, but the best that I saw (in limited shopping) was the 500 MB of storage for $1,436.37 (judging by other items on the list, I am assuming that they actually meant 500GB, but, hey, you never know).

I work for the FAA. We can't even (officially) get a browser more modern than IE6 unless you are a web developer. How about we update to only a couple of years behind, or even to modern times, before we try for the "future" crap?

The /. summary did not use the word "unacceptable" at all, much less in quotes.

Summary:
"Professional digital photographer and website publisher Rob Galbraith has performed both objective and subjective tests on laptop displays, finding that the late-2008 Macbook Pro glossy displays are 'deep into the not acceptable category' when used in ambient light environments."

TFA (page 2):
"In ambient light environments which induce screen reflections, the late-2008 MacBook Pro 15 inch's glossy screen moves deep into the not acceptable category."

While the summary may still be considered flamebait, it quotes TFA accurately and does not qualify as being a "baldface lie".
