I'd think with a game of geolocation API's and GPS capable devices. Firefox already sends information about your surrounding WiFi networks through their location API. If you have some knowledge about the IP address, and on top you get to use the location feature of iPhones, etc. I'd think you can make a very good estimate of your location.
I was once located right in front of my house. Then I changed my provider and SSID, and now is not as accurate. But for people using Fios for example, their IP addresses don't change quite often, thus, I'd say it's easier for them to keep track of your neighboring SSIDs
People with good eyesight who use complicated applications or requirements.
People with good eyesight, zooms in if they want to keep their good eyesight. I have a 30" monitor on my desk, and pixels are already ridiculously small. It took me about a month to get used to the feeling of moving around that area and I still need times to rest. My eyesight is 20/10 btw.
Geez! That page you sent has links to explosives, even nuclear weapons. That's totally uninformative and it establishes a clear link to terrorist groups.
First of all, that's not a tablet, that's a laptop with a swiveling screen
Darn! All these years I've been wrong? Just as Wikipedia. Perhaps you read this one... with all those tons of [citation needed]? It appears that we're all confused, so a swivel touch screen is not a tablet.
On January 12, we announced on this blog that Google and more than twenty other U.S. companies had been the victims of a sophisticated cyber attack originating from China, and that during our investigation into these attacks we had uncovered evidence to suggest that the Gmail accounts of dozens of human rights activists connected with China were being routinely accessed by third parties, most likely via phishing scams or malware placed on their computers. We also made clear that these attacks and the surveillance they uncovered--combined with attempts over the last year to further limit free speech on the web in China including the persistent blocking of websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Docs and Blogger--had led us to conclude that we could no longer continue censoring our results on Google.cn.
If their had persistent blocking of YouTube, GoogleDocs and Blogger, then they were loosing already because their services were limited. They didn't have much to do there anyways.
In the future several people will have access to those devices. They will hold a list of your friends, your messages, your pictures, your favorite music and a bunch load of other information. You'll be able to type messages and send them to your friends, or make voice... maybe even video chats. People will refer to them as cell-phones.
Now, what about adding a webserver and let you contacts have remote access to a limited amount of that information?
But you gotta love how Slashdot manages to turn the "Apple bad bad" case into a "Microsoft evil" story. Apple can't never be bad to the eyes of Slashdot (I keep pointing out there is only APPLE menu on the left, while the others are generic names such as "science", "news", "technology".
Dear Slashdot, I enjoy reading the forums with knowledgeable people, but I'm taking a break from you... I had enough.
Wow, what you say makes a lot of sense. Another cellphone from AT&T will cost a hell lot of money. Apple is selling their handsets for a lot less than other manufacturers, perhaps because they are NOT paying their respective royalties?
Because you can show pictures in color! B&W movies are not that much appealing to people. Color screens can sell as better photo frames, while better B&W screens may not have more market than the one it currently has.
While I really want to make the same sense you do to this chart. That means that "entering the freeway" requires no involvement of the gas pedal.
A "when" do accidents happen would make more sense if they clarify other conditions, such as rain, boring environments (freeways), parking. A "50%" of in-motion accidents, provide absolutely no insight on what conditions may caused the accident, and let's be clear here, that all the maneuvers performed during driving require: A. the car being in-motion B. full attention of the driver.
My argument remains that "in-motion" is quite ambiguous to accidents while driving.
Another interesting data from that page is if they know how to use pie charts. From the same article apparently less than 50% of the accidents occur when in motion, while the rest... I guess relate to piano rains, earthquakes and who knows other "non-motion" related accidents.
Perhaps they don't index that data (although not necessarily true for some engines). That doesn't mean it's not crawled (and kept for another reasons).
Ah, but what I get from this, is that they are temps, and that hiring them as temps, they don't need to pay the same benefits as the permanent workers. So now, they get away with paying less for the same labor. Clever!
Now, how long until off-shored companies realize they can do that too and cut their costs?
FIOS? I have absolutely no complains about them, but I'll let you know my results. I've move lots of data and I can confirm I got the 16Mbps they sold me.
And it's convenient that the test, which allegedly requires Java, also complains that I need to upgrade to the last version of flash. I'm guessing not many iPhone/AT&T results in this poll.
I don't know how patents work, but I've seen similar ideas already. What's new here? I hope they don't get a patent on another fake "revolutionary" way of doing stuff.
I just can't understand why Microsoft seems so obsessed with the idea that everybody's going to want to interact with a computer using a pen.
Perhaps because like me, I find very hard to draw diagrams, and equations with my fingers or typing "latex-like" when in class or a meeting?
To your question then answer yourself what is the obsession of having blackboards in conference rooms if they have projectors? To me, it's easy interaction.

In fact I was thinking more like:
10 PRINT "pr0n"
20 GOTO 10
I guess they may program pr0n and therefore should be banned!
...in response to a thriving gPad ecosystem.
So if the goal to sell a product that is on top of the iPad, shouldn't be better to call it the gString?
I know.. bad joke, bad joke.

Maybe next we can have Jeopardy change to multiple choice.
Isn't that called "Who want's to be millionaire"?

Where can I get a normal tablet computer for the price of an ipad?
Well, I have no idea. You can get them cheaper though.
Which reminds me of this graph

Are you using iTunes?

what will they offer as compensation to those affected?
Maybe the affected people can keep the fake ones? ;)
Also, doesn't Mercedes Benz uses proximity devices to unlock your car (and sometimes start your engine). I think they also have now apps for that
