And most of them really weren't nations in the modern sense. They lived in a stone age culture, not having discovered and utilized things like the wheel, refined metal, etc. Other parts of the continents (North and South) did have social structures you could call nations, but many of the people were just hunter-gatherers.
PalmOS was like MS-DOS. A single tasking operation that simply got the hell out of the way after loading the program and came back when it was finished. That kept it fast and very directed. I kind of wish there was a PalmOS emulator, a robust rocklike one, that could run on Android. It could replace a lot of the junk Android tries to be.
That has been the Amiga schtick for quite awhile. Except the Palm userbase was successful, efficient business people. Not slavish zealots championing a consumer PC in a plastic case sold in department stores.
It's hard to tell if there would be a userbase for new Palm branded stuff.
Be honest. Apple trapped their loyals in AT&T hell for years. Their most slavish, loyal customers. Whitewash it all you want. Yes, we know marketing has put a lot into floating that revisionist history, to hide the painful past.
And no Unicode updates meant that I just saw rectangles when people sent emoji, but I could deal with that. (although GChat or one of the others would end up as nothing but rectangles)
That sounds like an upgrade feature I would pay real money for. Can it be in the Play Store sometime soon?
Optimistically this could mean there would be no salescritters roaming the floor in thecstores. Yes! Go visit with my Aunt Ruth and talk to her about her washing machine! Do it now!
I am more concerned about the long term implications. Two years from now will it be iffy at best wether you should even bother trying to install Linux on that old AMD box that was retired from desktop use? Which boxes are the good ones? Which will be a problem? It's really the kind of nightmare nobody needs.
I have never installed Facebook on a phone. I use a completely non-standard email client (Sylpheed, which is actually very standards compliant, but not address-book compliant)
We competed in High School to get on the 300 baud terminal. It was faster than the 110 teletypes. It also has lower case. You couldn't save your program by punching it to paper tape, though.
I started out with a 300 baud acoustic coupler, but it was attached to a 110 baud printing terminal. BBSes that had long login screen sequences would burn through a lot of paper. Slowly.
Everybody has different priorities. Some people would pay extra to live in an area where the social culture isn't such that an extremely fast internet connection is a top priority.

So, not a very large market.
8k isn't just resolution. It's whoop dala whoop dala whoo! You need it now. Somebody at work will be talking about their new 8k tee vee before you!
The 'smallpox germ warfare' angle has been debunked.

It's what Microsoft will use to compete with Apple and Google in scooping up your personal data and connections.
The food at the vegan resturant he frequents is grown on it's roof. No, you can't eat there! Go away, commoner!

Whoo! You can cut and paste!

You meant to type "Tesla's prototype truck", of course. Or does Tesla even have a prototype yet?
They could yet very easily end up being another Tucker. A Tucker that emits PayPal fumes, since that is really the fuel Musk runs on.

NTFS still isn't mandatory on Windows. Lots of smaller drives are still VFAT.

They engaged him in the process and made him feel like part of the team. Excellent marketing.
I once tried to build a NetBSD kernel on my Mac SE/30....
The tricky part isn't wether this guy 'did it' or not.
On Windows, the installer tips it's hand.
Bruce wrote a cryptology book back when nobody else would. He's a security journalist.

I forked a plate today that had stringbeans, carrots, and rice on it. Oh, and a pork chop. I also knived the pork chop.
