The review pointed out the shortcomings of the first generation iPod. It isn't a review of the entire iPod line that would follow in the future. The first generation was only compatible with OS 9 and OS X, had 5G or 10G of storage, was

It's a black line 1px high at the top of the page above the orange bar. Here's a snapshot of it from 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/20111006184954/http://news.ycomb...

Just because he's leading in the popular vote now doesn't mean he won the popular vote. The New York Times projects that Clinton will win the popular vote once all the ballots have been counted. http://www.nytimes.com&#

Clinton is projected to win the popular vote once all the ballots (especially those in California) are counted.

The difference between this and Brexit is that more people voted for Brexit than against it, while more people voted for Hillary than for Trump.

The review has to be looked at in its context. If the sales figures on Wikipedia are correct, the device he reviewed sold just 236,000 units in Q1-Q3 of 2002. Apple didn't sell more than a million iPods in a quarter until 2004, at whic

That analogy doesn't work because your screen cannot reproduce every color that is perceptible to people. #000 is as dark as your screen is when the screen is turned off, which is not the darkest color that you can perceive. And if at

The butterfly ballot funneled thousands of votes to Buchanan. Recounting miscast votes would not have helped.

Why is the 2000 election a disingenuous example? Bush lost the overall popular vote and it is almost certain that a majority of people tried to vote for Gore in Florida.

I use a low brightness setting on my laptop because I am uncomfortable looking at bright screens for extended periods of time. I prefer the body text to be #000 on something close to #FFF (this website uses #828282, which is fine for me.) T

The author deliberately used the term "LISP Machine", with all of the letters of Lisp capitalized, but that's an anachronism (and a fairly good shibboleth). When they were developed they ran Lisp Machine Lisp, not LISP. And a
