Wow.. modded insightful for questioning what a phone is used for?
I have an iPhone 3G and as I tell all my friends: The iPhone as a phone... is a great iPod. If they cannot sell a useful phone, don't call it that. If people "still make phone calls", then provide them with a functional phone, if people don't make phone calls anymore... call it the iTexter. Biggest success of story of Apple: the iPad/iPod touch, an iPhone without a sucking phone.
Either they are really bad at business and they haven't realized yet. Oooor they are really good at one thing:
money laundry.
How are they still in business?
"What we discovered is that people were not bothered by it [an advertisement]," Nigro said. "Part of it I think our belief is you're used to it. You're used to seeing things with ads."
Better yet, I pay for the printer, the Internet access, the ink, and the paper they will be using to spam? People may not be bothered by ads if they get them free stuff as in public tv, or people is used to seeing things with ads as in online magazines or sports events, so prices go down. How is this going to benefit me?
I'll byte. Hey... I don't like and I don't use iGoogle, and I wouldn't have noticed this feature if they don't put it on the classic page. I guess they know who does and who doesn't use iGoogle. But hey... go check the maps! They look nicer now with traffic prediction!
I don't see where do you get I'm brain damaged. Perhaps yours is so obsessed on how things are that refuses to see anything else. At this point, I really don't care how "stuff should work", history has proved that paradigms can be broken any time.
So what's your point? That I can't launch applications from my browser? Because my browser has been doing that for who knows how long: I add mms:// to an URL, and a media player jumps. I add a.pdf and the acrobat reader pops-up. If a browser and particularly HTML 5 or AJAX can provide enough interaction with users and hardware (such as location APIs), why not? Is YOUR brain fried already of over-thinking how things "should" be done?
I really, still don't see the issue with this. I guess it's hard to be well known, everyone complains and nobody is never happy.
These are customizations that can be removed. I opted for adding one of my picasa pictures. I I liked it.
As for the "it's not like a desktop", it's to me a good indicator that they could be moving to Web Operating Systems, where you can add icons an launch applications from within your browser. Is that bad? Is that the way? I don't know, but while people complains about being good or not, it seems to me that at least they offer options, and they try to please people. so they can pick for themselves. Whether they like Bing style or the traditional or the iGoogle with gadgets.
On the other hand, I see more the background on Google's page than my own desktop wallpaper that it's usually covered with more than one window.
To my understanding, the argument of the "ex-white house" official only demonstrates that the government has been spending money in "poor quality goods". If microsoft got its money for its low quality software, then someone was not doing its homework.
Why blaming MS now, when their massive adoption and lack of alternatives boosted their millions? Why the government never supported linux or other systems?
1. The GP doesn't say you can do both at the same time, but you can practice to learn the skills. Instead of being distracted, you can perform multiple things at the time.
2. Indy cars I'd assume are very efficient, and I'd assume F1 cars even more. I don't think they are economic, but I'm positive the research done is that they will take advantage of each drop of gas (or ethanol) to boost their performance. I'm also positive that if the goal of maximizing efficiency in those cars was to achieve a balance between power and mileage, then they could be easily fixed, but they are efficiently design to maximize power while minimizing consumption.
Probably after watching all these losses, they will just raise the price per gallon so they can quickly recover from their economic damage. Wait were you talking about guilt for the birds or the oil? Ah... the birds... yeah... I don't think so.
The real question is... do your hands make you smart or dumb?
Your hands as the Internet, or your feet are just a medium to an end. You pick the end. You can use your hands to open a book or to jerk off. You can use your feet to go to the library or to go the bar... and no doubt you can use the Internet to read relevant information or useless crap.
Could we argue the same about drugs or alcohol? That's probably a more interesting question.
I'd say, that if they don't go out, their bodies won't generate anti-bodies to defend them from common viruses. It's not only about not being obese... it's about being really healthy.
You're assuming that I switched to ATT, because of the iPhone. I've service with them for more than 6 years in the same location and multiple devices ( sony, nokia, htc) and never had problems with dropped calls. Even at some places I knew the reception was poor while I was driving the cellphones manages to keep the calls connected. The iPhone tends to give up quite easy and drop the calls at the first opportunity it gets.
At least important services were unaffected. My iPhone drops my calls, sometimes won't handle data and when it hangs, no call gets in. If you're buying a phone it's nice that at least the important stuff still works, and that while I'm playing on my device I won't miss critical calls or messages.
Then, what they should do, is to add a big icon that does a similar thing that F11 does. Well, perhaps leaving the tabs visible and allowing the people to type URLs over new tabs without the need of having the URL bar.
What baffles me is why we are still trying to find technical workarounds to a commercial issue. People want to produce content. People want to watch content. Companies want to make money by being the middle man.
And people want to make money out of the middle man too. Security is very expensive, people give their privacy up for it, some others pay a load of money for it. If people working on watermarking and encryption techniques, can take a piece of that cake, they will. If not, someone else will find a way. I'm baffled by the fact that **AA keeps paying them for a system that as you listed will be cracked down because of its nature.
I was thinking about this. I think a mechanism to vote for advertisements, will: 1. Show marketing departments how much their ads suck (such as the 5 hour energy or the pharmaceutical ones), and improve their quality. 2. People will get the ads they like to see (self targeted advertisement?)
The variety of ads is getting better and more people is jumping into the Hulu ads, and I need it will get there.

You're wrong. This is a feature as this "retina" display also has floaters. They just get more realistic. I'm waiting to see if iOS 5 promises STDs.
I wonder who gets the rights to that movie.

They even waited for full 10 mins. to avoid the "Slow down cowboy!" for the reply.
So... is that where all the magic comes from?
