I think he means elementary in the sense of foundational.

It doesn't apply to a lot of people, but I have a mobility disability that makes plugging into ports difficult or impossible without getting someone to help. With MagSafe I really appreciate just lining up the cable imprecisely and letting magnetism do the rest.

New Yorker cartoons aren't meant to comment on the articles they appear with. They are just distributed throughout the magazine (a tradition they have maintained on the web).

Put the camera on a dolly or other moving platform. We've been doing that with movie cameras for quite awhile. Now add remote control, which is probably also common in the film industry, for example to control those swooping crane shots.

Sneakers is an all time favorite of mine. If you like heist movies, I think you will find it to be a very satisfying example of the genre.

I don't entirely disagree, but I would like to make one point. Taking 1 millisecond from 1000 people, does not translate to 1 second of lost human productivity. There's no way to collect all those little slices of time and they are not appreciable individually. (Assuming those milliseconds are sufficiently spread out, i.e., not 1 ms out of every 2, or something like that)

I believe that admission to the Udacity-GA Tech degree program has been limited to students with a BSCS. I agree that the degree will be attractive to people in the second group, however it doesn't appear that it will be accessible to them.
