Two points

1) DisplayPort is capable of carrying audio, which makes it a (possible) one cable solution
2) I get that the connectors break on campus, because the backs of computers can be open walkways, etc... but for a standard desktop at home? I doubt you're going to get enough traffic behind your desk to cause anything to hit it.

Also there's the Nvidia - Intel lawsuit over producing i-series chipsets. I dunno what the outcome was if there was one tho.

Dude. You're being irrational. Even self-admittedly irrational. The MBA will be sturdy enough. Get over it.

Why is everyone slamming this guy for spending 70k on himself? It's his money, obviously he thought it was worth it. Sounds like he is a better person for it all around. I applaud you, sir. Not everyone is as brave as you are. Not everyone has the strength to face their own demons.

Wow. the keynote isn't even finished and the post went up. We have no idea about networks or prices or sizes. Ridiculous.

Well software/computers are on like a 1 year cycle. Who's sick of an iPhone 3GS and wants a shiny new 4th gen iPhone come June?

Seriously, you should compare them side by side. Go to an apple store. Start opening up 6 or 7 apps in the same order. When you open the app, it should animate like it's expanding from the center of the screen to fill it and pushes the icons away. When you press hte home button the reverse happens. The app shrinks into the center, and then the icons slide into position from the sides.

On my phone, this animation stutters,skips frames. On the 3GS, it's rock solid smooth.

iPhone OS 3.x is incredibly laggy on first gen and 3G iPhones. The 3GS got a bump in CPU speed, and double the RAM. Compare a 3G and 3GS side by side. The animations/transistions are so much smoother on the 3GS.

For you, I understand that Tivo is better than a smartphone plan. I get it.

But you can't really argue that it's that way for the general public. Money has spoken and _in most cases_ people are willing to front the $80 bucks vs a Tivo, which is why Tivo is in trouble, and Apple is raking in a fortune.

a couple points:

1) 15 years ago, cell phones were just becoming mainstream
2) I'll argue that 15 years ago, people _wanted_ information wherever/whenever - it just wasn't technically feasible, or exorbitantly expensive
3) There aren't many options for non monthly fee cell phone plans - sure there are prepaid plans, but there's some threshold of talk time for which a regular plan makes sense. This point applies to those people.
4) most people have cell phones already. Which makes the data plan upsell easier.

About the synthetic testosterone - two points.

1) There were rumors that you could use a testosterone patch to speed healing/recovery and the dosage amounts would be so minimal as to not be detected.

2) if my first point is true, then simply because it's "known" to only be a long term actor, if it was detected, this could be used as a defense.

not to be a buzzkill (pun intended), but there's no feb 29th this year.

You need more numbers before you can confirm your conclusion. You need to know the # of deaths per hour of driving/flying. Simply having the absolute results without context doesn't mean much.

There is the HTML5 web app for google voice... not an app, but it works...

FF is an example of the uncanny valley. You could tell that the "humans" in FF were not real - the way they moved, the way their hair moved... it bothered me on some level, which is exactly what the uncanny valley is.
