I should have included this in the original post, it talks about both arctic and antarctic flights:

These flights have been going on for years...why the prospect of taking pictures of the sun makes them suddenly cool is beyond me. The actual science that has been coming out of the earlier flights, including ones around the Antarctic poles, is absolutely stunning and is worth a look if you are so inclined. Numerous publications are out there already, and you don't have to wait until 2009.

Really? ... I would have guessed MS paint.

I would stand behind the statement that you haven't seen the new mighty mouse from apple. (check out http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/) It detects and discerns a right click from a left click. No extra keyboard input needed. As for windows having this magical right click functionality, go out and buy a single button mouse and there goes your right click. Not a valid point.

Next point, Mac OS not being intuitive? I grew up on Macs. Started playing Oregon Trail on a Apple IIc, graduated through the Mac OS systems through out grade, middle, and even high school. OS X is a piece of cake. There's the icon for the program I want, I click it. Once I'm done, I click the X box. How is that not just as intuitive Windows. There you have your start menu, then programs, then manufactures folder, then possibly a submenu. So how is that more intuitive? Desktop icons you say? (thats what the dock of OS X is...but more organized) If you grow up with a system you know it, it doesn't matter if its Windows or Mac OS. If you were to go onto a Linux or pure UNIX machine you most likely wouldn't have a clue whats going on because you didn't grow up with it.

"and to conclude once more.... OS X blows. most users should just stay away. i stand behind these statements because people are already familiar with windows and os x is not better imo. i dont think it is AT ALL more intuitive and i dont think its smart to ask people to re-learn how to use a computer."

Ouch man! My parents got on a computer because of me, which means they get a fresh start. No biases from having been taught one convention or the next. Could they have started on a Linux box...sure why not, they wouldn't know any better. Why not get them started using the "universal WINDOWS system" since 99.9% of the population knows Windows and why shouldn't they? Or they could sit down, click on the Firefox icon in OS X and know everything they need to know.

Quite simply your arguments only hold base if the only thing you want to look at is past experience and ignore change. If that were the case, inovation as we know it would not exist. Wake up and see the world.

Has no one else noticed that only his sister is 15 years old? There is no mention of HIS age in the article. (Unless they verify that in the video, which will not play for some reason... If it does verify that he is fifteen in the video then I retract my statement.) Will it make a big difference? Possibly, it could take him out of the realm of children vs. adults gun debate. Just my thoughts.

Entrant.

With all the people blaming Engadget for not checking their sources, why isn't anyone attacking the traders/investors for not checking their sources? If the only basis for selling stock was an online article, I might think about getting a new trader. They traders/investors could easily have waited to verify the delay just as easily as Engadget could have waited to get an official from Apple.

And for everyone sending a letter to the SEC, make sure to send them a complaint about your investor as well for not being intelligent enough to think for themselves.
