huh? the only bit of this which is even parseable is your #2, which is basically bullshit. as a percentage, i'd wager there are higher numbers of people on windows that are clueless than on macos. linux on the desktop remains the domain of hard core geeks; not growing beyond that any time soon, not without third party app support.
i want a keyboard. but not in 'droid. i want it on my iphone!
btw - i don't know what it is, but something about this design just looks dated/ugly.
relEvent. sorry - i can't help myself.
does this thing actually have a phone function as well? if they start making these 99.00 with a cell contract, i can see a lot of 13 - 18 year olds opting for one instead of a celly.
^ what he said.
reading some of the comments here is depressing. i don't know what version of the truth you have accepted, but no matter how you slice it, jobs' influence was both significant, and hugely positive. when i was growing up in the 70s and 80s, the only way to get a good song you wanted was to buy an album - either on vinyl or cd, with one or two (if you were lucky) songs you actually wanted, plus a bunch of garbage. that's just how it was. you guys complaining about drm - you have no idea what you're complaining about.
whats with that dashboard - looks like it was designed by a 3 year old. is that really stock?
johnny ives - ferrari needs you!
lol - i was gonna say the same thing. love that xkcd.
You are clearly worthy of your star. :)
For those of you crying "bubble", this is not one. AAPL is actually trading at a very low price to earnings ratio compared to the industry - even lower still when you factor in their $100B in cash. By most accepted measures of valuing stocks, it's actually quite cheap.
That it is worth so much more than everything else is - damn interesting - but a bubble this is not.
more poo poo. people that take it upon themselves to rid the world of traffic violations ftl.
I'll go ahead and agree - #COTD. Very impressive. :)
I have to ask - did this just flow? I don't see any "edited by ...". How long did this take you?
I dono - I think it's a good ad. Many (most?) people have no idea that they can have two Fires and the old skool Kindle for the price of a single iPad. Even if they know Fire is cheap, they probably haven't thought about it in these terms. I think it will work well for Amazon.
(BTW - I own an iPad2 and intend to buy iPad3)
You made me want to look it up:
"A femtosecond is the SI unit of time equal to 10 of a second. That is one quadrillionth, or one millionth of one billionth of a second. For context, a femtosecond is to a second what a second is to about 31.7 million years."
Mind blown.
And what about my jetpack??
am i the only one offended by the ugly non-symmetry of this design? i'd rather go through the admittedly annoying, but not /that/ horrible process of looping keys onto conventional rings and have a nice, smooth ring than this ugly thing. it looks more like a broken slinky than an innovative new key ring design.
spoken like someone who doesn't have an iphone.
And this will likely ensue..
I'm all for making the world a better place. But, cynic that I am, I always assume the worst on the part of these "charities" that propose to fix something broken in the world if only I'll give them a dollar or two. If there was a way to trace my dollar through to the people that actually need it, I'd be much more likely to give. In the case of organizations like Verite, it's even more difficult to weed out fact from fiction.
Looks pretty damn cool and useful to me. As long as we have (create?) enemies, we need military technology to protect our troops.
