@splattne they do, it's called Windows Update, and they force-upgrade people from IE7 -> IE8 -> IE9 eventually

@lucascerdan ask @hyperink

@betsyphd CROWDSOURCE THE R&D!! USE A KICKSTARTER!

@timbray funny, I love them. Here is why http://t.co/tPdVBZS1

@angryfifer your ass it worth it! :)

@RafaelGoodman I never get high on my own supply, man.

@fauxparse pretty sure I've recommended that before http://t.co/eqjloOmm

@saqibs it is all pictures of various Tie Fighter related items

@fmanjoo what's extra "fun" is being within 1GB of the limit, having 5 apps update to retina, and running out. Update takes extra space too.

@fmanjoo wasn't fun for me on our 3 year old's iPad. I don't recommend anything under 32GB for retina-ized iPads

@fmanjoo generally true, but 16gb on a retina iPad is quite rough because the "retinized" app sizes went up a LOT. a LOT LOT.

@noel_llopis @pplux game is great btw! Kudos! More Incredible Machine will always be welcome by me with open arms :)

@fmanjoo @hunterwalk he should pivot.

@Greenspeak yeah, whatevs, old man.. just give us Plants vs Zombies 2 already!!

@Greenspeak you do work?

@lizardbill I usually see them with the Software Rapists and Software Child Molesters.

@drmonkeysee @kevindente @NathanBowers most non-geeks no longer buy "computers", so it's irrelevant

@kyleballard well, I meant savings on some third party thing, not something you yourself created and want to share. But point taken.

@NathanBowers Software is cheaper than hardware, FYI :)

@NathanBowers price is always relevant. See: $199 tablets.

@NathanBowers $40 virtually guarantees its success. It's quite good.

@jeroldhaas I’ve never had a Facebook account. Still don’t.

@vcsjones @jaredpar yes, always flag rude comments please. There is a "rude or offensive" built-in reason for comment flagging.

@ronnya you will have to ask @hyperink

@nabeel as a late iPad adopter (wanted retina, hated pixels-size-of-grapefruits) I was shocked how much better iPad is for gaming vs phone

@jeremymeyers http://t.co/uM9VDPaM

@waxpancake STUPID GOD

@waxpancake next up, KICKSTART... YOUR HEART! Sorry, God told me I had to make that joke. I'm sorry.

@NathanBowers the variable we aren't accounting for is purses, and man-purses

@fmanjoo I used to stand for hours while working as a Safeway cashier in college. I don't remember enjoying it so much.

@marcoarment think of it as a bonus; you're saving the world from the horror of more PHP code!

@lordeagle I think it makes a lot more sense attached to a $499 device

@nabeel oh, I see, this enables super-tiny XBLA type stuff. One man dev team projects, potentially.

@nabeel wait, what? Is there a shortage at the ones and zeroes factory? Why filter the pipeline at all, beyond "this is obvious crap"?

@siracusa really? This is Windows 95? I am not seeing it even a little http://t.co/LaACbfEF

@jzy no, only your mom

@kevindente well, Windows+D takes you to Windows 7, basically. So there's an eject button.

@baconmeteor THERE IS THAT TRADEMARK SASSY, IN-YOUR-FACE BRAND IDENTITY I HAVE GROWN TO KNOW AND LOVE

@gknauss WHO BREAKS YON SILENCE

@timbray I love that feeling!

@Greenspeak well, it is no Sledge Hammer!

@adityamenon90 that was about 12 vague “questions” in one

@Greenspeak Sledge Hammer! http://t.co/XBf1sMAQ

@t_tural see http://t.co/GSF8mbTg

@mojombo @tpdubs2 and now the real fun begins. Hang on, because it gets bumpy :)

@demisbellot in tablet form at least -- only from Google!

@scottwasson after going from the horrible TN panel on the 13" Toshiba R835 I had to the amazing IPS on the Asus UX31.. can't unsee!

@scottwasson These three 27" TN panels I currently have are akin to stabbing forks in my eyeballs every day. I had to get out.

@NathanBowers the 1920x1080 13" ultrabooks I just bought two of, says no. Near-retina and S-IPS beautiful.

@NateShoffner not that I know of

@BertBates wait, 200 feet from a giant bomb dropped from an airplane is considered a “miss”? Don’t think pinpoint accuracy is the point.

@Oppositional I was using the USB reader that came in the package with it.

@kevinmontrose well, based on the data, all advertising should contain boobs. Data is important, but not everything. http://t.co/2oCpAvMt

@migueldeicaza I HAVE ALREADY THROWN AWAY MY MOUSE!!

@waxpancake still WORLDS better than Digg, though. It's only the lack of adaptation in the 2005 design I object to, not the community.

@waxpancake It is difficult for me to spend any time on Reddit; I can't deal with Reddit's 2005-era design. Nevernude = Neverchanged.

@gleemax it feels like one-three. But only three.

@waxpancake would it be impolite to note that I find those Reddit pages as unreadable and incomprehensible as a blinged-out myspace page?

@NathanBowers hardware is easy. Well, easy-er. Being constrained by the laws of physics is more useful than "whatever we can dream up"

@psykoyiko yes, I found that too! http://t.co/FzP41lOG

@jokerdino @AskUbuntu that bottom answer is a dupe, basically.. look closer to my edit

@aarnott nice! congrats!

@zohar_melamed https://t.co/s3IiFfcb

@kwiens http://t.co/NahWwT11

@siracusa @rands needs more robot references

@kgrz SHHHHHHH! SHHH! HUSH!

@kevinmontrose what is happening to you? Hold me, I am scared.

@wilshipley so you mean like Internet Explorer?

@wilshipley chrome does this. You know that, right? RIGHT?

@kevindente http://t.co/xiZg2ahL and http://t.co/RRlmS8St

@nabeel well, http://t.co/3DSo9V6E but it has.. other problems. Camera should be priority on a phone, even for size, IMHO.

@anildash do it for a stronger immune system! And remember per @mathowie licking a BART seat is like ten thousand vaccinations!!!!1!@!

@zippy1981 your words can be so hurtful

@NathanBowers yeah but just the top edge with the camera could be thicker. It could be, like, a graceful curve and shit

@DJSundog yeah, you're probably right

@textfiles tl;dr

@textfiles the lede is well and truly buried in that post; can you move the 2nd quote box to the top? The one with the PROBLEM?

@a do you use all the languages at once, or do you use them in a particular order?

@a so let me make a wild guess here: you are a php coder?

@hardwareguy yeah, pretty much. Though RAM prices are so low for in-mem dbs. First "real" Stack Overflow server had 24gb in like 2009.

@JFrenchTweet it's an opinion poll, not a question. So no. THINK ABOUT IT MON

@kevindente @mattcutts oh man I predict thor's banhammer on that site

@hardwareguy are we sure @betsyphd has ears? I KID! I KID BECAUSE I LOVE!

@seesharp AWWWWW YEAH! I got some new Thinking Putty I can trade for it.

@seesharp Y U NO INVITE ME

@siracusa do you?

@timbray excellent, identity on the internet is terrible, we need someone of your caliber to work on it! p.s. http://t.co/1n6Gdzb8

@fmanjoo true, he was probably too distracted by thoughts of other dudes' junk to see the divorce coming.

@dbrady @benatkin @xunker naw, we've been doing indictments since 2005, never changes anything. Building alternatives does.

@waxpancake @anildash yeah, the hosting issue is what I was referring to. If you can't make that happen in PHP, it was the wrong answer.

@anildash @thinkupapp pretty sure poor @waxpancake has permanent technical scars from that experience after discussing it with him

@AnthonySteele yes, I would randomize order next time, and also make scoring from Excellent-Poor instead of 1-5 (to reduce "ranking")

@donpark myth (for babies, not toddlers). I've seen the twins with one sleeping soundly while other was literally screaming in her face.

@kevindente this has that, push down to get the click (not a fan myself, but it is there)

@kevindente last mile is touchpad mainly. Still the holy grail, but I'm hopeful since it's largely software.

@noahcoad the prime? or the earlier model? Touchpads are all software, so I'm still hopeful.

@At0micDaisy it's on every checkout page under "top Kindle sellers"

@At0micDaisy well, it's low-grade porn for one thing

@isaach nice make sure it's in the comments so people can find it!

@NathanBowers now you see why so many come to the dark side and become non-programming programmers http://t.co/3ufQOHun
