    Reliability and Monkey Brains is not something I'd put in the same sentence. It's a pretty regular occurrence for it to go down at our office, even after moving to a new space, sev…

    On the Retina MacBook Pro "Scrolling and animation tasks are jerky or just plain slow. I can’t deal with that in a new machine. Maybe in a year or two when it can drive its screen …

    Correct, but this isn't obvious to everyone. This UI design seems purposefully chosen by Facebook to look as if the user has liked the post as well as the brand page.

    I think the point you raise is valid, but the way you arrive to it is disingenuous. North of $700? The iPad starts at $500, and recently, the iPad Mini at $330. Granted the Mini is…
