Does Rovio have to develop Angry Birds twice; for the RT and the 8 Surface? It may not SOUND that much different than having to do it for iOS, then OS X, but it is. If your game makes $ on iOS, it can pay for the follow-on OS X develop…

Tallest Skil's post has to be among the top 3 funniest posts I've ever seen here, and I can't even think of any others right now. The funniest part is the pause it takes to figure out what is. It took me 0.5 seconds to recogniz…

Literally EVERYTHING MS does is backwards. Two Examples: In a widescreen world where LCDs are wider than they are tall, MS is........thickening the horizontal border at the top of the Office apps with useless crap, creating even LESS …

Thanks BlueVoid for the tip on Lagom. Yikes, is the uniformity of these new retina panels really as bad as in the picture? There's a clear red->green shift from top to bottom. Approximately 50% of the 10 or so Cinema/Thunderbolt dis…

How many billions of tons of plastic/metal/shipping/fuel is saved by people streaming stuff through iTunes rather than buying physical media in a store? Apple has done more to save the environment than they get credit for, and Greenpeace delibera…

I'm a major Apple-Homer, but I've had the following funny 2 SIRI experiences: When told to get 6 cups of Half-N-Half at the store, and it was sold in Quarts, I asked Siri how many cups are in a Quart (4). Then how many cups are in a Pint (2). T…

[/QUOTE] The last Dell I ever bought was a huge tower during the G4 iMac days. It blue-screen'd and had issues before I even connected it to the Internet. What a piece of junk. I used the punch it with my fist hard enough to knock the entire m…

Two things: 1) Apple puts out impressive sound (not audiophile, but clear and loud-ish) from an iPhone. 2) What about that high end flat-speaker technology, like these MartinLogan Electrostatic speakers? Give apple a square-centimeter, fl…

Remember when Xserve got the boot? Wasn't Steve reported to answer, "Hardly anyone was buying them". I splurged on the fatter 160GB when it first came out. I bought I think three $5 games. Zuma's really cool, and fairly good on the click-w…

They named it Fire because that's how your fingers feel after being sanded down to use the 7" screen. Actually I get what they're doing. Content-consumption. Less creation (if any). I think it's really a competitor to a 3rd Gen iPod Touch. …

Over the years I've purchased an iBook G4, a Unibody MacBook (pre-Pro), and a 27" iMac, and numerous iPods. Our 160GB Classic (the fattish one) I sealed up in a silicone & plastic double-case the day I bought it. The metal back is completely…

It'll be replaced with something round as another poster here said, but it will be a single enormous Apple. So perfect in a single large (50') piece of sculptered glass, that they won't have the heart to cut a doorway in it. All shopping wil…

Pardon this light-hearted post amidst mostly-serious discussion, but am I the only one who noticed the green LEGO bricks on the first picture? My comment is this: Don't they seem strangely appropriate there? Perhaps there's a correlation betw…
