You do understand the these same people who are now fighting for budget cuts before approving to raise the debt ceiling are the same people that voted and approved the spending to begin with? House votes to approve spending on items. Then the credit card that this was put onto is now coming due. So now the tea party wants to put controls on spending??? What happened to when the budget was up for voting, did they miss that part?
This has always been Apple's business model. In the past they did the same thing with their computer business. If you want to make an application to run on our computers you owe us a cut. So all programmers went over to pc / dos. No cut. Fast forward and pc / windows has major market share of the business. They lost the computer war doing this business practice. Why do they think its going to work again this time? I expect we will be seeing history repeating its self.
That is also why in your contract with your marketing agency (fly by night or not) that you say no spamming allowed and if that is broken, the contract has liability and penalties for the marketing agency. The purpose of that contract is so if you get sued for spamming then you pass those cost to the marketing agency that actually performed the action. It is all standard when dealing with a 3rd party vendor in business.
WAY off topic but. Actually they are not in charge of health care. It is called regulations. The same kind that they used to have on the banks, before they removed them and it all went to hell. The same kind that used to be on CC and how much they could charge you interest, before they removed that then everyone got to see rates from 20% to 30%. It is and only will be health insurance regulations. but you just keep on believing that its a take over and its all going to come out bad for you. Start using your brain and stop living in a world of wordsmiths.
about time we started getting some consumer protection again, instead of business protection. Good to see some consumer protection agencies are starting to do their jobs again!
The big difference between lawyer and most other skills is that as a IT person someone asks me for advice, I am not held accountable. A lawyer who is asked for advice by the very nature of answering is giving "Legal Advice" and can be held accountable even if it is in the setting of a party or casual question. Makes it a lot harder for a lawyer to just answer a quick easy question.
When will apple learn what they should have learned in the 90's. DOS, Windows, vs Apple. Apple: Must pay us royalties to make software for our system. Must play by our rules. Etc... Dos: Anyone can make software for our systems. You market and sell it, it is all yours!!!
That idea that they learned is a joke. here is a quote from a news site comparing the BP blow out to an earlier one.
79 Mexico oil spill Attempted Fixes
# They attempted to put a cone over the top, calling it operation Sombrero (as oppose to Top-Hat)
# They attempted to plug up the leak by pumping rocks, mud and seawater into it
Pemex pumped cement and salt water into Ixtoc for months before finally bringing the runaway well under control and sealing it with cement plugs.
Pemex's scramble to come up with other solutions while the relief wells were being drilled will sound familiar to those who have followed BP's efforts to stop the oil gushing out of its ruptured well.
Divers tried to manually operate the blowout preventer but this effort was unsuccessful and over the next several months Pemex tried a variety of solutions, including a plan to force metal spheres into the well to cut the flow of oil and lowering a steel structure over the spill to capture the crude.
BP is trying similar schemes but the huge water depth it is operating at is vastly complicating its efforts.
Does any of that sound like BP learned anything from an almost exact issue as theirs?
In both cases natural gas flowed unnoticed into the well being drilled, causing an explosion. In both cases a critical piece of fail-safe equipment -- the blowout preventer -- failed. And in both cases the operators struggled to quickly staunch the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
OK 2 issues. 1) he kept the default password - bad on him 2) they broke into his router with out his permission - bad on them.
Last time I checked if I see that a school website has a default SA password and I log in and change it to a secure password. I then send them an email stating hey you had the default so I changed it. Here is the new password. If I remember correctly no matter how much better it was for the greater good, the cops still show up and arrest me. I still go to PITA prison. I still get sued by the school for breaking into their network.
How is this any different no matter what he password he had on his router?
And where would they be moving to?? "Global economy" Fine sent from Europe. Guess what tariff on the goods coming in from out of the country would out way the "cheaper" cost of the goods. So consumers in the US would still by at a higher price then from another country. So the company that just moved would then close down.
Why do you think in a global economy most companies that do business globally have an office or plant located in that country. So it can be made there and avoid the import costs.
I always did love the straw man of "well then we will move and people will be out of a job". The Mining industry is claiming that big time if they are taxed they will move, and people will loose jobs.
How does one move a mine to a different state and still have the product (gold, diamonds, silver, etc) at the bottom of the mine?
And what happens when you want to leave the company? Do they get to keep your laptop? or review your laptop for 3 weeks to make sure you are not taking their data with you?
Never use personal equipment at work. They have every right to fully review your equipment at any time to decide if their data is on your person equipment.
Actually they repeatedly stated it will not raise insurance premiums. Where the 10% keeps getting play is that it was stated that the default you don't get shit but we get paid insurance plans for individuals would actually drop in pricing. And because of that drop in price the good insurance plans will also drop in price. So now for only 10% more you can get an individual insurance plan that actually covers things.
The thing everyone for got is this is not "health care". It is insurance reform. No more saying, "well the kid was born with a cleft pallet, and that's a preexisting condition so the insurance company doesn't have to pay." Or well the basic individual insurance plan cost $650 a month and covers you and your wife. By the way it does not cover birth control and it also does not cover pregnancy. It only covers if you get hit by a bus and happen to live and need surgery. As an individual you can not get good health insurance. If you are in a group you can get denied for just being born, because that is some how a preexisting condition.
But you just keep thinking it is some how health care. I will see it for what it is. Insurance reform.
off topic but I also have 2 xbox360. one online account. I use one for netflix in the bedroom, and one for gaming in the family room. Do you know of any way with out "recovering" your account every single dang time, to be able to turn off the gaming xbox go to the bedroom and then turn on that xbox and sign in? maybe memory stick with account on that?
What does this do to say xbox360 component? Does not have hdmi on older versions but does support 720p. Will this get smacked down to the low resolution as well?

The most interesting thing I have noticed about all of this is that this is what they did with their computer market. If you make an application you must pay a royalty. That is the reason dos then windows pcs out paced apple. Application people wanted to be able to design apps and not have to pay a royalty to the OS manufacturer. This was for the most part the downfall of apple computers in the apple vs pc race.
Flash forward. Apple comes out with a smart phone. Looks good has good hardware. Locked down so if you design for the iphone then you must pay royalty. Amazingly this time all the application developers jump on board. Interesting enough is that some application developers are starting to question this as apple denies their app and produces one of their own.
Either the Devs will start to wise up and the i-anything will start to go they way of the apple computer again or it will become the next form of how an OS gets designed.
The people buying computers in the beginning were just as non informed as they are today. The difference is the developers started making the decisions. Buy a computer.. well apple only has 5 applications you can use, while this Dos PC has over 10,000 applications.
Also net neutrality states you are not allowed to control the flow of packets based on content... So how does that give the government more control. It was already stated that they can't control or filter it.

ok now I am hooked and sitting here wondering what is prompting some of these requests to lmgtfy.com ....
Tell that to Dick Cheney, and Harry Whittington.
Can you say .local
That is going to cause issues.
Also net neutrality states you are not allowed to control the flow of packets based on content... So how does that give the government more control. It was already stated that they can't control or filter it.
