He may be looking to pursue a green card which is not possible with TN status.

> Sure, he is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, if you get off on pedantry.

He isn't technically correct. The GP provided a factually correct statement.

> That is clearly what’s driving the business.

By no interpretation is that statement even technically correct.

> Apple pays well.

A company requires more than 'pays well' to be a great company to work for, if that's what you're suggesting.

> They sell expensive products. They care about design. They represent a way of living. They're Apple in another market.

Except they don't care about quality, which is one of Apple's strongest selling points.

Not the GP, but I was able to pick up a new 4gb model from the Acer online store a few weeks ago (the Canadian store - I don't think Acer is selling it new in the US anymore).

If you're unable to find one I believe the new Dell Chromebook 11 is fairly similar.

For developers, installing Crouton turns the Chromebook into a fantastic portable machine. My Acer c720 has been able to handle everything I've thrown at it, and generally lasts a full day (10-12 hours) between charges.

I don't see the problem. Google is letting people pay to beta test their product. They aren't forcing anyone to buy anything nor are they marketing it as a finished product.

Many larger companies pay experienced interns fairly close to what they pay new graduates, which can easily end up being $40+ / hour.

I'd be very interested to hear how you think brute forcing my 22 character password is easier than stealing my laptop and fooling the fingerprint sensor.

It depends what I'm doing.

I generally have two different Linux installs on each of my computers: A Gentoo + XMonad environment for development, and a Debian + KDE environment for anything else (other school work, movies, word processing, etc).

I believe you can simply remove Facebook Home from the HTC First to return to stock Android, though I'm not sure that guarantees updates like the Nexus devices do.

To be fair, Apple (and I'm sure Google) does this too. There is no doubt in my mind that Apple is going to announce a milestone of it's own tomorrow[0], a day that just happens to be the day of the Google I/O keynote.

Value is an opinion. The Nexus 4 provides me with more value than an iPhone 5, yet costs nearly half. Therefore the iPhone is overpriced, right?

I'd argue that Google does updates right as well. Both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 were updated a few weeks ago within a few days of the update being released.

It's Samsung, HTC, etc. who are doing updates wrong (though carriers may have some part in that).

Edit: I should say Google is getting better with updates. I'm still a bit disappointed with how they handled the Nexus S update to 4.0.

Weird, I must be imagining the 16+ hours of battery life I've been getting nearly daily for the past 3 and a half months.

I know different people have different usage patterns, but the Nexus 4 battery is far from "horrendous", especially when compared to other flagship devices.
