The market rewards innovation, mindshare, and success. Apple has all three...
No, market rewards profit and profit outlook. Mindshare, innovation, etc. are all side issues. Apple looks overvalued to me, but it ain't my money, and I'm not into short selling, so no dog in this fight.
The same holds, among others, for the Baltic and other ex-Soviet countries with Russian population - just draw the boundaries accordingly. It's a messy business, and sensible people should work it out without violence, muddle through if you will - something the Brits normally handle with admirable pragramtism.
So you're talking some kinda religous hocus-pocus. If it's a smooth process without discontinuity, none of it will look extraoridnary regardless of the timeframe of the observer.
So... this "singularity" is nothing special to the observers in the same time frame as the phenomena, and those that would find it extraordinary would all be long dead... what's the point of this "singularity" then?
(I'm British, and yes, we hold Northern Ireland. I am aware of the hypocrisy here, but Northern Ireland is a subtle case. I wonder what nuances there are to South Ossetia which aren't reported here?)
Hypocrisy alright. "Subtle"? "Nuanced"? What isn't in life?
David Ogilvy (of Ogilvy and Mather) once said that when times were lean, companies cut advertising. This, he said, was foolish. It is advertising that brings in the money that is coming in.
An ad guy says we need more ad? That's crazy talk.
Also it is beyond my understanding that someone tells us that what is being done is good for them without seeing there, talking to anyone working there. Don't you think it is way too arrogant to "know" what is good for them?
Yes, those condemning working conditions of off-shore manufacturing should do those things before pretending to stick up for those poor foreign workers. Come off it, you didn't care how those people lived before, why all of sudden you care now? At least have the decency of being honest to admit that your concern is of job transfer, not the welfare of foreign workers.
Actually, I think the whole issue is kind of meaningless. "Alive" is a concept we invented when it seemed pretty easy to tell living things from not-living things. Like all such concepts, it tends to break down as our knowledge of the world grows, and the old definitions become hard to apply. We just went through a similar issue with the word "planet".
Reminds me of high school biology class gazillion years ago. The teacher dude listed characteristics of lifeform, and asked if candle light is a lifeform - it breathes in oxygen, it consumes energy, it can die, it can reproduce (well, sorta, spread). Got us all young'uns thinking a bit, and made us realize the definition is pretty arbitrary.
I get the feeling that my patient-doctor relationship is more adversarial than cooperative sort. It's like two parties haggling over a trade, neither party trusting the other. I'd guess that some of doctors don't enjoy that either.
I'd rather have a system where docs are not pressured to act like commodity traders.
Oh, almost forgot. Thumbs up from across the pond, Dr. Coulthard. Happy for Kelly family.
The buzzword of the day for business school crowd, guess it's catching up with "leadership" - the vague, abstract, nebulous, infinitely debatable notions that the intellectually weak and dishonest obsess over. Ok, I'll stop the rant here.
How about scratching the itches and fixing the bugs? Just by doing these you may come across many small but significant enlightenments, instead of trying to "think out of the box" and to "innovate". This bit is a suggestion, not a rant.
Doesnt binary compatibility depend on the OS, which id guess to be BSD/linux.
Not on those things. There was no linker/virtual memory, and programs as often as not went straight to the hardware for IO. The hardware itself will need to be compatible for binary compatibility.
Based on appel II is much more likely to mean in terms of architecture & hardware
Yeah, I would guess it means muckable, simple, and open like Apple II.
Comments implying it's unusable without a physical keyboard just perpetuate the fallacy that there is no other alternative. There's just stubborn people, the same ones who last generation refused to adapt to touch-tone phones, broadband, automatic gearboxes, digital synths, electric shavers, you name it. Welcome to being a Grumpy Old Man;)
We have a saying: youth is wasted on the young.
- Electric shaver sucks. I can only guess you're either too young to shave, or a hairy hippy.
- Manual shift gives you better feel/control.
- Nobody can afford analog synths unless they're loaded.
Amareum, I argued against your post, but did not call you "names". The difference here appears to be one of context for the semantic of "cause". I think we can agree to disagree.

Get out. Saddam got hanged for pissing off the US. Plenty nasty rulers killed their own people, and some still do.

Ok, but after this song.
Dead people shouldn't be talking - it's quite rude.

Don't apply to us, of course. What, you've got a problem with that?! ;-)
Don't you worry your little head about the Chinese, not while we can use a revolution here in the US.

Lenovo sells other models preloaded with Linux in the US.

Anyway, good post.
What are you, some kinda closet French?

So it's like this?
a = -i
b = i
real(a) = 0
real(b) = 0
real(a * b) = 1
where i = imaginary number, guess it may represent the hidden (from us) quantum dimension/domain, like wave function.
Hey, we still got some good shit: grand canyon, niagara fall, inner city detroit, compton, burning river, tijuana
The US tourism is recovering now, due to the falling dollar.
You forgot apathy. Yep, I contracted for Fed a long time ago.

It's asinine that some in the West think it could/would save the "third world" from starvation, even worse preaching "stop pumping out babies".
