11" Macbook Air = 1.08kg HyperJuice 60Wh external Battery = 0.36kg Comes in under your weight limit, will give you 10+ hours. Only disadvantage is it's a cumbersome / weird form fa…

Very good point! My argument is that feeling taken advantage of does not necessarily mean that you are being taken advantage of, at least in an economic sense.

"Dediu refers to the giant gap between the cash Apple hauls in and what it pays its retail staff as Apple Store workers' "productivity." We'd guess there's probably another word fo…

Very interesting. I agree with a lot of what the author says, and I think that aspects of Apple's case against Samsung are spurious, to say the least. However, I also see one major…

Microsoft did some terrible things, and abused their market power. But overall, I would say the world is a significantly better place than it would have been without MS. Looking at…

Yes. Thunderbolt bandwidth falls between a PCI-E 2.0 1x slot and 4x slot. Tests that have been done comparing the performance of relatively high end desktop cards on 1x, 4x, 8x and…

It's a tough one. There are many people who fall into the group you describe, but there are also people for whom chemotherapy and radiation therapy has been very successful and all…

Because even if you have rock solid RAID and backup solutions (and unfortunately, many, many companies don't), there is a cost involved in replacing drives. Especially when you are…
