| 2013/8/16-10/28 [Computer/HW/Laptop] UID:54728 Activity:nil | 8/16 I just left my employer. They didn't ask to get their HW back.
Is is common for employers to contact me a few months/years later
and ask for their HW back?
\_ Is it an iPhone 9 prototype? :-)
\_ as a matter of fact, it is just a 2 year old laptop
and they don't seem to keep track of inventor

with them. How many days will it take before they stop sending me
paycheck (and maybe even try to get back the laptop they gave me)?
\_ They'll probably try to call your emergency contact first to see if
you're hit a tree or something.

when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
\_ Which OS? Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
the height to be smaller?

\_ Could only have happened if the Mac App Store had been a wild, wild
success, and they were willing to give up Steam. Games/dual-booting
is strategically valuable to not driving people away from macs.
A new ARM iOS based device, or opening the Apple TV to iOS apps
(same thing, really) would be much more likely than sabotaging their

useful to me, but I use my computer for more than web browsing,
Facebook, and Twitter. Why would I buy one instead of a laptop?
They seem like a disabled laptop to me, but at a higher price.

what you get your non-technical friends. Or musicians. Look at

\_ Yes. In my company, we have upgraded all our machines for
development, QA and other office use (HR, Finance, Receptions, etc.)
from WinXP to Win7 a few months ago. Our products now primarily
support Win7/Win2008 and secondarily support WinXP/Win2003.

I always had matte in the past. I use my laptop just about everywhere
and glare is a concern. Should I stick with matte? I noticed
glossy is the default now.
\_ It is weird, but I have the glossy screen that goes to the edge of
the monitor for my 13" PB and it somehow seems bigger than the one

startup times to older versions (maybe even Phoenix)? Is FF still

mozilla.
