We have several of them and my family loves them. They were easy to use and took decent quality movies. They were 1000x easier to use than our regular Canon HD Camcorder. This you could just pull out of your pocket and make a video. The other required setup time, hooking up our Rode shotgun mic, digital tapes, etc.
Cisco purchased a great product and basically killed it. Probably mostly due to advertising. They had TONS of paid celebrities doing ads for them and 1,000s of posters everywhere. There had to be 1,000 posters up in Grand Central Station alone.
You can't half a drop in business and not be able to cut staff. Who in hell agreed to not allow layoffs?!?! That is ignorant business decision. Sometimes layoffs are necessity because business dictates it.
Considering the current situation, we (the US) are literally stuck between a rock and a hard place.
It's a shame that political divides politics and greedy assholes paying political figures is causing the downfall of not only the US, but science among other things.
How? People keep repeating this, but nobody has any details. What, exactly, has FB done with personal data that's so evil? Anyone?
How about every time I turn off sharing of data with other websites, they issues a *new* privacy policy and all the sudden I'm sharing my data with other websites again?
Stop with the Oracle FUD. The Dalvik engine does not run java, and cross-compiling has always been legal. End of story.
Oracle FUD? Keeping your head in the sand is not going to help GOOG with it's copyright infringement claim from Oracle. By GOOGs own admission, they infringed and want to settle. Oracle wont let them off without a big payday. How will this purchase help them?
Big is a relative term. The judge already told Oracle to be in the $100M settlement range. That is a far far cry from the $6B Oracle was asking for, not to mention the $12.5B Google is going to pay for Motorola and it's 17,500 patents and 7,500 pending patents.
We've started migrating to KVM with vertio because VMWare is just too cost prohibitive when it comes to the expansion we've required recently. I've got to say with with vertio, I'm actually pretty impressed with KVM's performance.
There aren't quite as many features as VMWare offers, but we are lucky enough not to require them.
I'm not Oracle fan (actually, I'm a hater), but this seems more like a witch hunt. I mean, the title "Oracle's Java Polices Are Destroying the Community", sounds a little harsh considering you only said that Oracle released a buggy version of Java and they were not the first to report it....not that I'm against an Oracle witch hunt.;)
If there is a time when the government should step in this is it. This whole patent war crap is not only anti-competitive for the companies involved, but it also kills off any chance of new companies innovating in the market. It's becomes a monopoly by patent portfolio enforcement.
So Microsoft, Apple and Oracle wanted Google to join them and jointly bid with them, allowing access to the patents for everyone. Google didn't join, and lost the bidding when they tried to get it all for themselves. Who is the real hostile company here?
That isn't what happen. MS wanted to bid with Google on the Nortel patents which Google obtained. MS, Apple and Oracle bought a *different* patent portfolio as a group to use against Android.
Does this mean Earth is no longer a planet like Pluto?
Planet requirements: 1. It needs to be in orbit around the Sun. (Check) 2. It needs to have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape. (Check) 3. It needs to have “cleared the neighborhood” of its orbit. (Uh oh! Pluto doesn't satisfy this requirement and apparently now Earth doesn't either!)
Don't cancel it, just go through the project management and fire everyone who was mismanaging it causing it to go so far over-budget.
It probably had illegal crap involved such and kick-backs and over-charging. This is one reason why letting private companies develop these types of projects rather than government do it is usually so much cheaper. I think the same thing happen to the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) down in Waxahachie, Texas when the budgeted $4.4B practically tripled to over $12B
Let it die and stick with Libre. Oracle did what they did out of spite. They thought they could control it and still get support and that didn't work so instead of doing the right thing, they gave it to Apache out of spite.
This type of thing should be illegal. First thing wrong is it hampers someones right to free speech. Second, a man should be subject to his actions. If he does something wrong, the public (future patients) have a right to know about it.
Granted, you have idiots and troublemakers who post unwarranted bad things, but they too should be subject to their actions.

I do like my Linksys SOHO E3000 router. The Flip Camera kicked ass too.
My edge routers for the data center infrastructure? Juniper.

We have customers who trade electronically who want to colocate in racks physically next to ours just to shave milliseconds on transaction times.
Based on what the judge wrote, it sounds to me like he has his hand in the Apple's cookie jar.
OS News has more info on this.

As a T-Mobile customer since 1999 (when they were Voice Stream) I couldn't be happier. I want no part of AT&T.
Goodbye.

Who actually downloads stuff from download.com anymore?
Facebook's data mining is more insidious.

Facebook is a privacy nightmare.
My name is: No C. Users and I'm a Google+
And there is no such thing as a black dwarf
That's racist!
I pray that this is their AOL / Time Warner moment.
Not...sure...if...serious....

It's anti-competitive and should be squashed.

Obviously I jest, but I do find it funny.
I would just like to have a hotkey to disable/enable Javascript on the fly.

Same thing with Hudson.
What are the odds that this iCloud service isn't run OSX server at it's core?
Skype is still functioning for me.
