No. I read it as no one at Yahoo considering it a serious technology company because of a fear of taking on Microsoft, so they didn't bother hiring decent programmers.

The picture is a Seagate Goflex (and Seagate's website is now listing 3GB desktop GoFlex drives), which as far as I can find are just standard SATA drives in an enclosure that use Seagate's GoFlex interface for their connection. Relevant Link
So if people are just interested in the drive they can crack the case and get it. Also, according to the above link the GoFlex connection thingy will work for any SATA drive, so you can use it like a HDD hot swap docking station of sorts.
Are you lonely?
Have you spent half your life in bars pursuing sins of the flesh?
Are you sitting in a bean bag chair naked eating Cheetos?
Do you have the urge to get up and send me a thousand dollars?
What lots of folks above me have said is true: Not all gamers want to program, and the relationship between the two is very thin. One thing I have found though, is that the type of person who likes to break the game down and figure out how figure out how it works tend to be the type of people who enjoy programming or mathematics.
If he's the type of gamer who spends as much time out of the game with spreadsheets figuring out how the game calculates things so he can maximize his effectiveness (a person who enjoys logical problem solving), looking at programming may be viable. If he's tea-bagging people in Halo for 16 hours a day, it's a lot less likely.*
*My anecdotal experiences with tea-bagging Halo players should not be taken as actual research.
And honestly it's a pretty valid argument. This is definitely going to be informative, but I'm just as interested in how a particular SSD handles the flash blocks failing as when they fail. A SSD with flash that averages 1,000,000 writes before blocks start to fail but does it gracefully with little/no data loss could be better than one that averages 2,000,000 but goes out in a blaze of glory as soon as the first block fails.
There's very little information about the company, but from what I could find I'd guess you're correct. The guys who founded it are chip designers that previously built chips around ARM cores. Still, it's possible Google bought them to design chips with non-ARM cores for their phones because they knew ARM may not be readily available in the future.

Apple To Buy ARM?

Was Google already aware of this? They bought a small processor company Tuesday. Would make sense if they wanted to make sure manufacturers of their phones didn't suddenly end up without access to processors.
If the subject is stationary talking to me at my desk it would be more along the lines of, "Look at her face. Look at her face. Look at her face. Tits. Tits. Crap... Look at her face. Look at her face. Crap she's looking at my screen"/me is slapped
If they got enough of the core developers on board who's to say they aren't rewriting the whatever sections of the code they don't have license to sell? Does it warrant looking into on behalf of the developers who aren't on board to make sure their code isn't getting used without them being compensated? Yes. But we shouldn't be jumping right to, "OMG they're stealing!" when they may not be.
Just because the iPhone has similar functionality built in doesn't mean 3rd party vendors shouldn't be able to compete. I happen to be writing this comment with Firefox on a machine that came with IE already...
Also, doesn't change the fact that he was clueless what the article was about.
Just to clarify, I happen to think they're taking it a bit far but it's not outside the realm of trying to protect their users from themselves and keep support simpler. I think "Management is knob gobbling MS" is a pretty long ways down the Jump to Conclusions mat. Never assume ill will when people in suits trying to save time/money is a possibility.

Is it difficult to pilot because the Dutch makers forgot to give it a rudder?
No. I read it as no one at Yahoo considering it a serious technology company because of a fear of taking on Microsoft, so they didn't bother hiring decent programmers.
Was it the right or the left?
I think the light can be blocked the eye with special goggles, but there's bound to be mistakes even when testing it.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Only one small problem with this article
The problem being that you didn't follow the link that explains that the app is GOING to be removed, not HAS BEEN removed? http://shiftyjelly.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/sentence-first-verdict-afterwards/ Even TFA says, "Apple informed them their app would be pulled." Note the future tense.

Yeah, kids these days are using rot26 instead. Twice as secure.
Video games (especially new releases) usually cost about 5 or 6 times as much as a movie ticket.
And about 1/2 the price of a small bag of popcorn and soda.

I know lots of people never RTFA, but you couldn't even get through the summary? Here's your sign.
