Looks like an excellent bubble to take advantage of. Sell (or short) Apple, buy Microsoft. [Citation Needed]
This article may not be completely solid financial data, but makes more sense than the populist reactionary stance you take:
So there you have it, Apple fans; your stock looks fairly priced. No debt on the balance and strong cash flows look good as well. By the numbers, Apple looks attractive as a growth story. Recent weakness may be enhancing the opportunity. Based on the thesis that earnings determine market price, Apple is currently trading at a PEG ratio of approximately one based on future earnings expectations.

I don't think it's supported much anymore. It was a cool concept that just didn't seem to go anywhere.
Seems it might have been a bit ahead of it's time, as the majority of the work was done prior to the revelation that the US Government was massively spying on it's citizens.
10.1" is too small to read on? I have read an entire book on my ipod touch with 3.5" screen, and I have awful vision.
It's not about size, it's about resolution and usability. My one-year old netbook (which sadly only really worked well with XP) had a 1024x600 screen. This (height) is just unusable with stock XP (too much used by taskbar, menu, window titlebar and various toolbars). Other OSs looked much better (Ubuntu Netbook Remix was great, as was OSX) but drivers sucked so battery drained faster, trackpad didn't work well, etc. This turned me off netbooks completely.
One and the same amigo. Your semantics argument doesn't hold. Both want to lock you into their world... just that with Apple you get a choice (you don't have to buy their products), with Adobe, the choice rests with the content producer (website owner). Adobe's strategy reminds me more of Microsoft (where every PC you buy has a MS tax included)
"It is outrageous that decent, law-abiding people are regularly treated as if they have something to hide," Mr Clegg said.
"It has to stop."
He said the ID card scheme, national identity register and second generation biometric passports would be scrapped.
"We won't hold your internet and email records when there is just no reason to do so," Mr Clegg pledged.
"CCTV will be properly regulated, as will the DNA database, with restrictions on the storage of innocent people's DNA...
Would this ever happen here in the US (you know, the home of the free)?
And if you're an Apple Apologist (Applologist) reading this, don't feed me that line about Wake-On-Lan for sleep-mode, and "what I want is really 'Power-On-Lan' (boot up from power off state with magic packet)"
What purpose does this serve that sleep/WOL does not? I'm honestly curious.
Just imagine the outcry if Microsoft banned all other development environments than Visual Studio... But suddenly when it's Apple it's all ok. Why the hell?
Buy a DS, along with a copy of a game cart for each kid (or a download for each DS, not just now but in the future also), or purchase an iPod Touch + 1 copy of the game to sync with all of them?
And now are you going to enable parental controls so your 12 year old doesn't go browsing or downloading what they shouldn't?
The greater functionality of an iPod Touch cuts both ways.
You know, things like proper namespaces, exceptions, static typing, a sensible object model
See it in action here.
If you're talking about that mess of cluster that is subclassing from Exception, yes it doesn't have that (perhaps Dojo or other js frameworks do?)
However, unlike Java and the like, this language at least has closures.
CiviCRM is Open Source, free of charge, and has great community and commercial support
This is critical. Inevitably, once your operation grows bigger than the "tiny" size, you will need the software to do something it does do (or does very poorly)... Having online support forums is very important, as is the source code.
Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb fucks.
Wonder how much this new released IM thread has to do with this "All-Hands".
Because the TrackPoint is much more convenient since it's placed where your fingers already are, as opposed to the ridiculously huge apple trackpad which requires much more hand/finger movement.
This is an important point; however, I find that when I'm typing (coding or documenting) I am rarely using the mouse. However, when I'm mousing around, I'm rarely typing (ie, browsing/researching/designing).
I do think that if you're mousing and typing a lot like if you have several terminal windows open, etc, then the trackpoint's benefits outweigh the disadvantage (ie, drift). However, I find that when I'm coding, I have mouse/keyboard/monitors, and when I have the laptop on the couch, for example, I tend to be more seperate with my pointer/keyboard usage.
Most of the time, if you just leave it alone when the drift starts, it will auto-recenter and correct itself.
Yes, and more recent trackpoints do not have as many drift issues... but why should I even bother when the Macbook trackpad is more precise in scrolling and pointing, and has no such issues at all? I loved my trackpoint 10, even 5 years ago. It's 2010. If they haven't fixed the drift issue, I'm not going back (unless I'm forced to, like at work).
Much more convenient than the lame touchpads most computers have (with the possible exception of Apple)
The only thing that could take me away from a trackpoint was the elegant and powerful trackpad of my 2006 Macbook (the unibody models have even nicer trackpads).
I did always hate the "drift" issue that I had with trackpads (even in thinkpads from 2 years ago).
Man, this is going to have some non-DVR-sporting parents in a bind, without their 30min - 1hr of free time everyday to set their kids in front of the TV while they chill or take care of housework.
I've been doing this for years in Windows and OSX for the same reasons Shuttleworth has stated it: widescreen monitors
Glad to see a system embrace this concept and see where it would go logically if done by default and per design (instead of just an alternate option).
All I've been asking for is some information on the stance of my own government.
What we're witnessing, I fear, is the broadcast model of government: You and your country's wealth are the product, to be sold to the highest bidding corporation(s). We've had this system in the USA for quite some time, and it's been great for the Corporations.
[Jason is being menaced by a huge monster made of rocks.]
Tommy Webber: Go for the eyes, like in episode 22!
Jason Nesmith: It doesn't have any eyes!
Tommy Webber: Well, then, go for the throat or something. Its vulnerable spots!
Jason Nesmith: It's a rock! It doesn't have any vulnerable spots!
Guy Fleegman: I know! You'll need to make a weapon. Look around; can you construct some sort of rudimentary lathe?
So in other words the browser would have to mask the flash execution as some "other" software process not flash, essentially hiding it from the OS?
Execution of arbitrary code (ie, including an interpreter) is forbidden according to the rules of the App Store... so even if Google did manage to "disguise" it, the flash interpreter would be immediate grounds for revocation.
Hopefully it will have way to bock Flash, and let you open Flash items that you want - but that means less money from advertising.
You think that Google, the advertising giant will support this? Maybe as some sort of app/plugin, but I strongly doubt that any Flash blocker will emanate from Mountain View.
I've heard the same group that developed JQuery is working on a database querying framework called JDisplay.
Always thought it was a weird name, but having used it, it's clear the name jQuery refers to the power that comes from being able to "query" the DOM with CSS3 Selectors (originally Resig wanted to name it JSelect)
Play with it for a while... going back to getElementById() and getElementByName seem archaic (Sizzle js does exist now, and jQuery 3+ uses that).

I envision the webOS tablet will compete with the iPad based on:
Looks like it only really bests Andrioid on the last point, but I think there is still room to grow in the tablet market.
Would this ever happen here in the US (you know, the home of the free)?
That Uncle Sam is flipping you.
Ultimately, the fact that we are looking for a small part (water-based) of the larger search-space (all life) relies on a certain anthrocentric bias.
We want to be the only ones... because otherwise, we wouldn't be special anymore (especially important to the religious crowd)
What purpose does this serve that sleep/WOL does not? I'm honestly curious.
First, Apple is not a convicted monopolist like Microsoft, second, I don't think this move is cool either, but it's totally legal.

So how do you hold a computer system random? Threaten with /dev/random against / ?
