Wait, so all the/. crowd have been crying out loud because companies shouldn't jump so quickly to next products to deal with bunch of incompatibilities. Now this company in particular, which is doing exactly that, is just "not adapting to changing tech"?
You see, as many know now, there are several other factors in play. I think the right answer should be:
Stop being the Google guy, and ask the people around you. They may have reasons to do that. Either support or legacy. If they consider those systems may be a hassle, and eventually someone is going to run into troubles (and perhaps there's also documentation issues). So instead of running around trying to figure it out, they'd know it should work.
As someone told me once, at some point in life, you don't get paid to fix stuff, but to buy stuff or pay the ones that will support and fix the stuff. If it's not your top priority, why the hassle?
You see, that's the problem with opinionated articles, now very cited in/. Either they say there's no market and companies shouldn't get into areas they don't belong, or they say the company doesn't innovate and deserve to die.
When the companies say they will change direction, immediately complain saying "it's too late now".
I wish we could come back to factual articles here, instead of opinionated reviews with heavily biased forecasting (I hope this sounds redundant enough).
It's quite a head start. I'm thinking this mainly predicts rain drops, but most of the time, what block my vision is the splashed water from the truck I'm about to pass (which is driving slowly on the right hand lane). So while estimating the position of the rain drops is a challenge already, and the implementation may just not work in real case situations, I still think it's impressive and quite a good starting point.
As someone else pointed out, after RTFA I noticed what was obvious,/. posted a sensationalist headline. From the article: (Talking about their promised Blackberry10...)
Those are big promises, I know; and some doubt whether RIM can pull it off. I am the first to admit that RIM has missed on important trends in the smart-phone industry - especially in the consumer domain, focusing on its core value system for successful products and services. We are working diligently on BlackBerry 10 in order to provide a compelling experience for our loyal enterprise customers and consumers. While we are in a very competitive and constantly changing market, customers benefit from this competition and continued innovation.
Valuable number 3. I've met many people on that line of thought. I wonder if they would be happy paying for each road they drive through. Perhaps, with GPS they can easily adopt such approach. (I'm sure they probably suck it up, just to make the point of not paying for someone else roads).
I know how to recognize it. I know how to remove it. I just don't think I have to go through hops and forums figuring out what's the way of doing it, which probably voids my warranty and it's at risk of bricking my phone.
I can imagine this issue as a car, that comes with a purposely bad spark plug that requires a special tool to replace and replacing it causes my warranty to be voided. So I know it makes it slower and "jumpy", but I should have to put with that kind of crap to make it work fine.
Loyalty? I'm positive my next device is not going to be Samsung. It sucks getting stuck with AT&T bloatware and not being able to stop or remove poorly written applications. Also, the performance of my GPS went down the toilet dramatically with each upgrade. If they don't protect their products from crap, and don't provide the tools to remove them, I guess they'll face the same battle Microsoft is facing because OEMs install all that bloatware that requires a fresh install.
Furthermore, right-clicking on pinned apps let you open recently open files, and actually pin those files as well.
If you have a VS Project you work constantly, you can pin it in the VS Pinned icon. If you have a folder you have to open constantly, you can pin it to the explorer pinned button.
Some other thing people don't know about those little icons, is that if you middle-click them, you create another instance of the application. Need 2 explorers to easily move files from one to other? Double middle-click on the explorer pinned icon, and boom.
Which is exactly my point. What's your proof of citizenship on-site if a cop decides to ask you for one?
The recent changes in state regulations that ask foreign people to renew their driver license is a mechanism to enforce immigration policies. I'd have agreed if, like a couple of years ago, the driver license was given for the same 5 years as the citizens.
But I'm really wondering what are the implications of this for citizens, would they have to carry passports as well?
Having and H-1B (or F-1 or some long term stay visa), entitles you to get a driver license, which is what you use to identify yourself.
You're telling me, if you're an American, and the cops think your accent is funny, they can ask you for your work authorization card and make your life impossible?
Indeed. I can read two point extrapolations too: if the slope is negative is going down, if it's positive it goes up, and if it's zero I keep my mouth shut.
While public interest is greatly appealing to the masses. The summary says they cannot clearly prove losses... and checking the record profit apple has being setting... it may be right a good reason to hardly believing them all the losses they are running into due to Motorola.
14 months ago, I bought a 1TB WD Passport drive for $95 at BestBuy. I recently checked, and seems like they are still above the $100 (and that was at a special discounted price).

You just need to keep up... fast times we're living in!
They probably sync them all through a blasting fast cloud computer!

Which sounds just like a normal PR.

Can you forward your Hotmail to your Gmail? I haven't even tried, I know Yahoo won't let you.
Well, there's that for a lesson on gambling:

I'm more interested on who's pushing this. I have Netflix and I have been enabling at least subtitles on many shows.
I'm yet to see this on cinemas. So why Netflix?
Bonus points if you're actually looking at the screen. Looking at the back of the device is kind of boring.
Yes, and it makes sense. But do you have to carry it around, in case a cop decides to question your legal status in the US?
The article title says... "Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times" (emphasis mine).
Which still doesn't answer my question:
How do American citizens show they are allowed to work in the US in case they're stopped.
Which is exactly my point. What's your proof of citizenship on-site if a cop decides to ask you for one?

Wait... so you are telling what? What's next? The RIAA or MPAA supporting a study on how copyright has spured artists' creativity? Oh wait ....

You just wait... when the Village Industry Association of America (or Austria) comes after them... it's not going to be funny.
He was probably just trying to make a car analogy that came out wrong into a poison example. ;-)
But seriously, geez I wonder what parents did before internet and children proof lids... look all those dead kids they turn into.
Does remembering a song in my head count as ripping them off if I don't also own the CD?
Judging by their action, I assume most of them already had a lobotomy. So very likely they thought that would be the case.
I think that wouldn't be legal. But public broadcasting is, so they could impose volume limits!
;-)
Next time you check, your audio system only gets to 4 instead of the highest 10 volume level!
