To put it bluntly, OpenSocial isn't an anything "killer." And OpenSocial isn't going to save Myspace.
Uh nothing can save Myspace. They wrote a piece of shit software that wasn't remade the second they got famous and then got stuck with just tacking on more code and making it an even worse POS. The cool thing about facebook besides being developed better (IMO up until they added those dumb useless apps that do nothing but annoy me) it was closed to college students. People that go to college have something in common. Now its just another social site. Lame. It was nice when it was clean and manageable and you use photo tagging as the best feature really. But now its just cluttered. I get all these dumb app links from friends because they all default to send to everyone on your list and I don't enjoy looking at my starting page anymore.
see the numbers on how many albums are sold vs downloaded illegally for a specific album and the average of that across many albums from various artists in maybe certain fame class levels.
* Streaming radio? Hell yes! I've discovered more good, solid bands that way in the past four years, than through any other means.
This is a great way to learn about bands because unlike regular radio you get the track info! Just the convenience of the info just scrolling there is all thats needed. Having to listen carefully to see if the station tells you who that song just was is too difficult to care. Also less/no ads helps listening enjoyment.
anyone who refers to programmers of virus/malware whathaveyou should go back to the 2nd grade. Why does everything have to be good guys and bad guys. What if good guys wrote some virus or worm to take down a corporation that was doing something unreasonable! is that so bad? yes and no, its grey! bad guys! I will say this, if you look at comic books and movies in various countries. Almost every story in America is good vs evil. And in a lot of other places in the world the stories are usually more real and less dichotomous, for the most part.
I heartily agree with this; there's a major tendency on Slashdot and the like to apply mathematics and mathematical logic to social arguments, but an inability in many cases for those involved to know (or care) whether this is appropriate or not.
If we make a giant cheese grater we can have the shredded cheese fall through earth's atmosphere and viola! Super fried cheeze balls for everyone! We might need to fill the outer atmosphere with frying oil though , but we can worry about that later.
Or your crack could just refer to MPAA seeing any kind of non-monopolistic activity as lower profits for them and therefore piracy because their common sense and logic is flawed.
Also blockbuster's mail service which is the same as netflix except you can return videos to the store which is quick sux anyway because blockbuster wont carry certain films and its harder to find certain foreign films. In other words corporate has some sort of political agenda and wont carry certain movies because of it. Netflix on the other hand has pretty much everything I can imagine, also a bunch of anime which is nice. downloading divx is good and fast but sometimes you wanna see some stuff on dvd, especially older anime which is hard to get a good quality versions of usually online.
I tried blender and was able to use the interface well but I just don't like it since I really don't do the brunt of animation actually in 3dsmax, I use motion builder since that essentially rigs your character to animate. I mean you still do a lot of work back in max but using max and maya then to motion builder is part of a production pipeline that works quite nicely. I also use max to render out when I am doing video and there is no vray for blender. Basically from my point of view, blender is on its way to becoming usable but its not there yet. Just needs a lot of little things.
I needs to run all of the software that people need. With a few exceptions, Ubuntu provides equivalent software to what's available for Windows, typically at a much better price. And the exceptions tend to be fairly specialized, expensive software packages, not general desktop stuff.
Those specialized software is what needs to run on Ubuntu to kill windoes. As far as I am concerned, minus those specialized softwares (3dsmax, adobe CS3, motion builder, etc.) Ubuntu already kills windows. As long as I don't need to use those software Ubuntu does everything I need. But alas I do need to often use those softwares so I have to go back into windows for a while and get work done. What I think needs to happen is that Ubuntu needs some sort of security assurance for those software companies such as Autodesk or Adobe or even game companies that they can have their software installed and it will be hard or annoying to crack the software. In other words, to sell software we need a platform for closed source packages. I know everyone is anal about not having anything closed source on their nix systems but people selling software have to protect their code. It's just business. I am all for having an open platform on which to work from but if we wanna get any real software it actually costs money to make. Look at blender, I am sorry to say but it will never be up to par with the big expensive 3d softwares. They just don't have money and man power being poured into it. So until closed source software can make it to the nix desktop in full force it cant completely squash windows.
Now instead of writing your name (boring) you can have flowers and bumblebees and ponies instead!
The main problem is waiting behind old people in line for the ATM. They mess up buttons and now you ask them to draw!
Yea! Plus I wish a teacher made me edit wiki instead of just doing a research paper in high school. Too bad there was no notion of a wiki when I was in high school. Also why are all the children of this poster arguing as AC's! Kinda lame. If you don't wanna risk bad karma or whatever(i still don't know how modding works on this site!) then don't say that stuff. If your rating on this site matters to you or something! If you still wanna say that stuff then don't be afraid to risk your rating. Sorry to go off topic. Anyway, it's important to discuss stuff thats goin on in schools cuz I see some kids and they are getting stupider, but at the same time are learning way more for their level compared to when I was in school. It's like they have knowledge without the capacity to think for themselves wtf! Free thinking FTW!
The essential functionality of MS Office or OOo is disabled when people don't know how to use it. The real power of those softwares come alive when you start to use the stuff that isn't normally used. The stuff that most users can't or wont comprehend.
You know it's not like microsoft doesnt compete on the internets. They have Groove or whatever so you can share office crap with peoples. Just no hosting of that info for you. All they have to do is have groove throw your shit on live or something and then google has to compete with a whole platform again. Even tho we all hate MS, they do have the advantage of having been around a while. I guess a relevant analogy would be an older warrior can be defeated by the strong yet inexperienced fighter if he just waits for the old man to die. It will happen, if you just leave MS alone they will probably fuck themselves, playing ball with them just keeps them trained and sharp.
The true way to defeat a raptor is by running back into your Mystery Mansion filled with trap doors, secret weapons and a mirror room a la Enter The Dragon.
I noticed the development from altairnano on what they call Nano Safe batteries. http://www.altairnano.com/documents/NanoSafeBackgrounder060920.pdf
Seems promising, they use nano-titanate materials (so says the spec sheet). This streetcar might be using this tech or a a similar type of tech. I want those batteries!
It may seem simple, and is not a "sport" in the sense that it doesn't require physical stamina
What do you mean doesn't require physical stamina. Sleep deprivation and large amounts of red bull or caffeine need a lot of physical stamina to survive such a beating. I wouldn't be surprised if those hardcore pro gamers have a messed up body later in life.

Last time I purchased a vaporware product it just left my pockets all steamy.

I wouldn't exactly call Youtube a niche. It's kinda one of the biggest sites on the internets.
