I first had a 13", then a 11", now back on 13".
I prefer the 11" when I'm travelling. I prefer the 13" when I'm at home.
For me the 11" is too small to work comfortably when I'm sitting on the couch. (I'm 6 ft 2.)

I'm assuming you're American.
Large parts of the world don't have huge houses, simply due to the fact there is much less land available. Houses are far more expensive, and smaller, in Europe and parts of Aisa (such as Japan), and as such in these environments Kinect simply struggles. People don't live in small houses because they're poor, thank you very much.
It's not a matter of "moving a coffee table" - even when one isn't there, you probably have to move a sofa to try and get the minimum playing space. In the UK, Victorian-era terrace houses are long and narrow which simply doesn't allow for Kinect to fit, ditto for city apartments. Houses here don't have basements, and funnily enough, garages are for cars if you're lucky enough to have one.
I know six people who have bought Kinect. Five of them have had to return the units as they simply cannot find the space, no matter the tricks they try. The sixth is lucky to have a larger than normal living room, and never bought a coffee table. When a product is hitting that level of returns due to what is inherently a design flaw, it's not a good thing. Microsoft should have realised that not everybody is living in a huge house, and that outside of the US smaller houses are the norm, and that Kinect would struggle in these territories.
If a Victorian era house is long and narrow, then you can set it up the long way if you want to play. You're being very funny with the 6 foot space requirements, acting like your house was built for hobbits. If someone who is 6 feet tall can lay down (AKA if you can fit a bed in your house, then you have the space to play.

Amen. And I'd love to see a mid-range tower. Something with a graphics card, one available PCI slot, up to two hard drives, and the Core 2 Duo desktop chip(socketed, not soldered please).
Or a flat-but-not-too-flat case that could double as a monitor riser, since the Apple monitors aren't quite high enough on their built-in stands. That'd be nice; I've always liked the PCs most mfrs call "small form factor." We have several at work and I think they're da bomb.
Dell has the advantage of a much more complete server lineup. Apple only offers a 1U configuration with a single operating system and very limited options. Good for Mac users who want a server, bad for enterprise sales.
Lotsa people buy XServes and put UNIX or Linux on 'em. Or you could of course install Windows and it'd run like a bat outta Hell with a rocket up its butt.

You read in my comments what you want, I clearly stated that both parties are at fault. I don't recognize the "victim" angle on the woman's side, it doesn't mean I don't think the guy was in the right either. Both can be wrong (novel concept, I know).
Under the circumstances, if he was really trying to kill her, I think he would have succeeded.
There is no equivalence. Her choices did not endanger his life in any way.

I never thought of myself as an iMac type of guy. More of a MBP for work, Mac Pro for home.
Apples hardware release of late have been catching my eye also. Unfortunately the last Mac I owned was a Mac Plus, but Apple has become much more competitive of late.
But the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great computer. 750 gig drive is sweet, 3 gigs of memory, huge display, and fast.
Yep and with things like Santa Rosa and hopefully continued success with low power processors from Intel I see a long future for the machine. It is a platform that was pretty much dead ended with the lack of the right PPC processors.
I always hated the wires and general visual mess of the normal desktop. Even in the age of bluetooth, there are too many wires.
I don't every see that going completely away. What I do see is far fewer of those wires and more and more hardware sitting on network connections. From what I can see Apple thinks the same way.
I think the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great prosumer computer. I'm seriously considering purchasing one now.
A very nice machine though to be honest with you, unless this is a Christmas present, I wouldn't bother with a desktop until after new years. Or until after the industry shakes out all of its upgrades and new products.

I honestly think that he can win the Ducati. Rossi is a great development rider, look at what he did for Yamaha. He showed his true talent when he left Honda to go to a lesser bike. He developed their 900cc bike, which was not competitive, and continued with the 800cc bike. The wall went up in the Yamaha garage because he felt he was not given the credit for developing the bike, and Lorenzo was taking all his notes without giving anything back. It is going to be interesting seeing Rossi and Hayden on the same team again especially because this time they are both World Champions. Jerry Burgess going with him to Ducati will also help immensely. Still a Hayden fan from the 900cc days (yes he cried a lot when he won) so I'll be watching MotoGP more to see if Rossi can help Hayden out.
Secretly a Spies and Edwards fan too.

Completely agree with you.
Rossi is one of a kind, no question about it.
It was already crazy when he was winning with Honda and Yamaha, and I just can't start to imagine how crazy it'd get with Ducati.
If they can get the bike up to par, as far as reliability is concerned, with the japanese manufacturers, then yeah, I say it's not a done deal, but it'd definitely be possible.
I am a Mike Doohan fan myself. Grew up watching the guy :) ...

Is it really that tough for you to understand? Apple sells two phones. Those are the two most popular phones sold.
The other manufacturers ALL sell many, many models of phones. The total sales of those many phones combined equal to a number that is bigger than Apple's total sales.
Maybe what you are saying is correct - when you are talking strickly smart phones.
But this article is about _all_ mobile phones. And in your original posts you stated "handsets" and in this one you state "phone" - not distinguishing from smart phones. To be clear, we all agree (I think) that Apple has the #1 and #2 selling model of smart phones.
Now... I don't know because I haven't seen the numbers but in terms of handsets/phone, it is possible that Nokia has a $9.99 model that sells more than Apple's top selling model.

I don't know about anyone else, but at the 1 min mark where the "targets" are being shown, they definitely look like they are protruding/jumping off the screen. I certainly don't have any experience or knowledge of this technology, but as far as I am concerned that is 3D.
It's not, because if you were staring directly at the screen, all you would see is targets of different sizes overlaying each other. It would not LOOK 3D, in the stereoscopic sense. This demo relies on MOVEMENT to fake a 3D effect, but you're still looking at objects on a 2D screen. Each eye does not see a different image, which is a requirement for a true 3D sterescopic effect.

I don't think they should add cut and paste because it's metaphorically confusing (and they never will add it for this reason), but a Path Finder-like drop stack (which is essentially the same thing, but with visual cues) would be very nice.
A Path Finder-like split view is would also be very handy for moving files.
The OS doesn't need built-in social media integration. There are plenty of twitter clients, and the official Facebook Notifications menu bar item is fine.

I have Zinio and subscribe to multiple magazines on it. It works fine. I don't want a separate app for every magazine that I read. I don't want different controls, different features, different layout, etc. I don't want every magazine "enhanced" with video features in some brave new experiment that I'm funding. I want a PDF of the magazine delivered to me to read. That's what Zinio does (it's an encrypted equivalent to PDF). I want to go to one "virtual" bookshelf and pick the magazine I want to read. That's it.
Conde Nast is having to "slow down" because they've created a damned expensive delivery system instead of using a preexisting thing like Zinio, iBooks, B&N Reader, Kindle, etc. Imagine if every ebook series had its own app!

I spoke to two techs at PC World computer superstore (biggest computer retailer in UK) two weeks ago about monitor compatibility with my G4 Mac Mini. Turned out both these guys owned Intel Macs, folks pay $$$$ to have their PCs fixed by these guys:p . Anyway I mentioned I was waiting till Leopard to upgrade my Mac. One of the guys mentioned they'd already got the date for when Intel Mac Mini's with Leopard will be in store. Wait for it... April 2007:( . It seems unlikely that Leopard will pounce onto our screens in January.

But I am sure that Nokia knew a very long time ago that Apple was infringing and did nothing (which is perfectly their right)...and let Apple make billions...then file a lawsuit to cash in.
The iPhone came out in mid 2007. It's not like Apple gives out their schematics and source code, so it could take a while for Nokia to figure out which patents are being used.
(Just as it took Apple several years to figure out which patents to sue HTC over.)
In this case, Nokia fairly quickly started asking Apple to pay royalties for the wireless technologies they were using. It's Apple that has delayed for years.
Think about it...why would Nokia file suit immediately to earn, say, a pesky $5 or $20 million (and give Apple a chance to make the product better) when Nokia can wait years and earn hundreds of millions or billions?
That only makes sense for patent holders that want a one-time payment. Nokia licenses their patents per device, and the GSM/WiFi ones probably can't be gotten around, so it matters less when they sue.
And again, Apple's known about many of these patents for years. They apparently would rather rake in the profits now and pay later.

I think some people are forgetting other elements are involved with the creation of a phone model. Sure, Design has a lot to do with it, as does the supply of parts.
But Apple isn't just some backstreet hack knocking up burgers, reliant on the supply of produce that will match their recipe.
The product releases are scheduled. In the consumer electronics business, the technology needs to progress rapidly, rolling old products into obsoleteness.
Deals related to parts would be in place more than months ahead. Chances are, the iPhone 5 was already beginning testing before the iPhone 4 was released.
Which means, even at prototype level or pre-production sample, the components would have been available long beforehand. You think they knock off 5 million iPhones between announcement date, and release date with complete faith in shipping schedules?
Deals relating to the supply of these parts are made long in advance. Manufacture for the iPhone 5 would have already been getting ramped up, and the need to have the new product available at, or around the existing schedule would be vital. And they wouldn't be taking chances. It's crucial in the IT industry.
+1. I can't watch one of Apples keynotes without thinking how hard it must be to get so excited and passionate about a product which has more than likely been kicking around the office for a couple of years.
The ability Steve has to be so convincingly in telling us that this product is magical and revolutionary when he knows exactly what's coming up in the next couple of years, and how bad this device is in comparison. I find it very immpessive.
