And you can get it with an i7, even on the 11".

Finally! I was hoping this would be in 10.7, but the ability to stream your desktop to an AppleTV will make meetings a lot easier. No more hooking up to flaky, over-abused video cables.

That's actually why, growing up in the 90s, I preferred Apple products: I was worried we were all doomed to a beige box Windows future and Apple was the only bastion of "choice" where choice didn't represent "Windows" but still actually ran a modicum of software needed to interact with the Windows world.

There's a good article from a recent New Yorker that speaks to Jobs' real genius as being exactly what you said: not an innovator per se, but a tweaker and a refiner:

"The visionary starts with a clean sheet of paper, and re-imagines the world. The tweaker inherits things as they are, and has to push and pull them toward some more nearly perfect solution. That is not a lesser task."

Considering that the Chrome browser is based on a minimalist approach (and to the extent that the related Chrome OS is designed largely with netbooks in mind), I think this is a valid complaint. There should at least be the option to minimize the browser chrome for these scenarios.

I really thought that Sony was the undisputed king of proprietary connectors and formats.

"Doom" would be the better analog. It also gets talked up because it launched a little company called Bungie into prominence. The Marathon games were pretty fun in their day, with an interesting story to boot.

Largely Christian, Islam, Hindu, or a variety of non-religious beliefs, if the stats are, themselves, to be believed.

If by "good enough to show where you've been" means "I was somewhere in the Central Valley or possibly the Bay Area on Christmas Day (even though I didn't go anywhere)" (to use his second example) then, sure.

Totally agree, all of the first four seasons of the modern series are on streaming Netflix-- or at least they were as of a year ago, and it's a great place to begin. Frankly, I've never watched anything earlier than those (but may sometime). IIRC, Torchwood is also streaming and well worth a watch.

Personally, I think the real problem is that there are people who feel a moral obligation to "cure" people of being gay. Apple is censoring, sure, but these people are actively condemning, and I don't believe that you can exclude that from the equation. Your average bookstore doesn't carrying books on white power; even pornography, which has a lot more acceptance in society, is largely relegated to specialized storefronts. And if you open the floodgates, there's the danger that the app store-- which is already annoyingly obtuse to navigate-- would quickly become like browsing /. at -1. But, sure, getting to run whatever software you want is important too.

All I did was get drunk, skip class, and program all the time and now I'm a gainfully employed sw developer...

With the Mustang guitar/controller, you can do both-- plug it into RB *and* an amp, it won't dock you points for any extra fills you wanna throw in.

I mostly buy vinyl, most of which comes with one-time-use coupons for downloading high-quality digital versions of the music.

Here is the debunk link from Wired.

If artists shouldn't determine how their art should be sold, then who should?
