The comparison is found in TFA where it's quoted from the original paper. So it's not the submitter who adds this (should have been obvious because quotes are used). Also, all the alternatives you provided are correct but when presenting to the public, if an analogy is to be used, you chose to make comparison with something that people know and recognize off the bat. Out of the available options, I think Apple is the best choice.

Comment Re:Sprint and T-Mo should merge (Score 0) 301

Sprint and T-Mobile? They don't even use the same technologies! That makes about as much sense as an AMD / ATi merger! Oh, wait...

On the bright side, at least the new Intel server motherboards stopped coming with those horribly crappy on-board ATi ES1000 video chips, replaced with some Matrox 200 descendant that's refreshingly less crappy. On the bright side for the telecom industry... hmm, I don't see any bright side for any of the telecom mergers.

Matrox is as crap as the old ones. The driver from either or intel or matrox is having a lot of hardtime determining that there *is* a Matrox chip on the frikin MB.
It's funny. Laugh.

Smarter Teens Have Less Sex 1285

Posted by CmdrTaco from the still-no-excuse-for-you dept.
Tech.Luver writes "Gene Expression reports, "Tyler Cowen quotes from a new study testing the relationship between grades and delayed sexual activity. Last December I passed a paper along to Razib showing that high-school age adolescents with higher IQs and extremely low IQs were less likely to have had first intercourse than those with average to below average intelligence. (i.e. for males with IQs under 70, 63.3% were still virgins, for those with IQs between 70-90 only 50.2% were virgin, 58.6% were virgins with IQs between 90-110, and 70.3% with IQs over 110 were virgins) In fact, a more detailed study from 2000 is devoted strictly to this topic, and finds the same thing: Smart Teens Don't Have Sex (or Kiss Much Either).

Google Desktop for Mac Released 186

Posted by CmdrTaco from the very-frooty dept.
Julio Ojeda-Zapata writes "Google on Tuesday will release a Mac version of Google Desktop. This software, like the PC version, indexes the content of a hard drive and serves it up on familiar Google-style search-result Web pages (or via a its own drop-down results list, if you prefer). But Google Desktop for the Mac is streamlined compared to the busy, gadget-y Windows version, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The focus is squarely on search — including local indexing of an online Gmail account of your choice. It will also index your iDisk."
