I would strongly recommend actually doing a good options analysis on alternatives to Sharepoint, and make sure you focus on features you actually need or plan on needing in the near future (in 1-2 years, all new product versions generally increase their feature-set anyway).
Unfortunately, this will never happen. As you mentioned, the telecom giants will put a stop to it.
And there's the reason the FCC doesn't implement your idea today. The telecoms are too powerful... now imagine a situation where mandatory open networks (like in the FCC proposal) are already in place... your telecoms are way to weak and distributed to prevent the public ownership of the last mile, and your idea becomes feasible. (historical note: this was how it was before Bush's FCC basically sold the market to the monopolies via deregulation)
So for all your bitching and whining about the Obama administration, keep in mind that they can't pursue more progressive policies in some cases because they need to do damage control from the previous administration before we make real progress.
The little white collar on 4Gen Shuffles doesn't go all the way up now, the controller gets in the way.
Which is why they suck. In addition to the rubbery feel which tangles even worse than the iPhone/iPod headphones. I got one of these with my 3GS, and I immediately stole my wife's old pair of 2G headphones.
I think a week in jail for the VP of marketing will do much more. But a week is probably all this is worth.
I'd prefer that but then again, I wasn't the one who was stalked, and a week of jail time won't do restitution to the harmed. Maybe combine it and let the VP of marketing be her bitch for a week? One thing's for sure: when people are harmed, law as it applies to corporations should be a lot more personal and pierce the corporate veil. That would rectify a LOT of stupidity done in the search for profits.
I think it's less to do with creating a good image of Toyota and more to do with getting people thinking about Toyota. Just look at the hype this stupid prank has created.
All the more reason I hope S&S and Toyota get nailed with a fine. All this "no such thing as bad publicity" has led to something borderline illegal and definitely unethical. As an owner of a Toyota, I'm going to contact their PR department to tell them they're assholes for doing this... seriously, WTF?
If an employee drops their phone and needs to replace it ASAP, someone in the company can pull the SIM card, put it into a new phone, and the employee is back to work with minimal downtime
Try this with the iPhone... it is a GSM phone but this does not work (you need to call the carrier). This is relevant as the new blackberry is trying to compete with the iPhone. In fact, SIM locking is very common in the US and not limited to the iPhone (though the iPhone has the most restrictive implementation).
This "theory" is horribly bad, inconsistent with modern concept of time and light-cones, but would make a kick-ass book or movie.
Hollywood, you know what to do!
...the average user is not very likely to get hit by it, fortunately. Hopefully they'll have a fix out quickly nonetheless.
I'm a Leopard user who didn't upgrade as some software that I use everyday is not ready (till December). However, I'm fairly saavy with my system but my Guest account got "activated" in a previous patch. Now, if this buzz didn't alert me, I would have upgraded and been none the wiser when my data got wiped out (luckily I use SuperDuper regularly).
Guest accounts are setup by default, IIRC. This is bad for Apple... data loss of any magnitude should be a Priority 0 fix right away bug, not something you leave off to sub-dot-release 10.6.2.
...is that it ignores the fact that every Microsoft OS prior to Vista ran slower and looked prettier than its predecessor.
Windows 2000 was the standout here, they improved speed, increased stability and improved looks (over NT4 and 98). Too bad the lesson MS learned from Win2k was "don't try THAT hard, we make money regardless".
Sorry, but there's a big difference between an AJAX app and a native app. Try writing a browser based graphical game on the iPhone; it's going to fall on its face pretty quickly.
Sorry, this is hyperbole. Lots of decent (though not immersive) games written for iPhone in-browser use before the iPhone SDK came out; During that time I had my iPhone2G, my sister would often play these web games and said there were better than anything on her blackberry phone as far as gaming went.
And that was back in 2007 before HTML5 features started rolling out in Safari. The future is bright yet for cross-platform non-flash web-based gaming.
As mentioned on other/. articles, games want fun first, graphics 2nd.
With HTML5 not being supported by MS, and only certain codecs being supported by Apple, the video tag isn't worth shit, unfortunately.
Google ChromeFrame will take care of recalcitrant IE. As far as Apple vs Mozilla goes, you can easily support both Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Safari with two seperate video encodes (ogg/h.264) and some browser capability detection. I know i've seen some very elegant solutions even with the current draft state of HTML5.
For me, this development can't go fast enough. I'm looking forward to languages that integrate completely with an IDE, and leave simple character representation (ASCII e.a.) behind.
That platform arrived in the 70's and it was called Smalltalk. All current mouse-based GUI systems are an offshoot of the original Smalltalk system. Wiki link. In reference to your dream-system, things like this were pretty potent and ahead of their time:
Smalltalk is a structurally reflective system whose structure is defined by Smalltalk-80 objects. The classes and methods that define the system are themselves objects and fully part of the system that they help define.
This would obviously allow you to edit your IDE/OS in real-time/at runtime.
Can someone link this this "985 patent"? I can't find it linked in any article on this subject. Why do major media never link to anything?
Uh, looks like they did link it at the end, you just have to RTFA:
US Patent 7,599,985 for a "Distributed hypermedia method and system for automatically invoking external application providing interaction and display of embedded objects within a hypermedia document"
In the meanwhile, *without Court Orders*, lots of wiretapping, internet snooping and all manner of illegal privacy-raping activity has been happing for years and continues to happen using our Federal tax dollars, with almost no oversight or review.
The panopticon is not only here, it's taxpayer-funded and unaccountable to the public.
And in other news, a new law was finally passed making it legal to beat fraudsters to death with copies of their SEC filings.
As much as I hate fraudsters and vaporware, they actually opened the facility (RTFA required)... time will tell if it's working, but it's not vapor or pie-in-the-sky... it's here.
Outlook is not a hard requirement for accessing an Exchange server mailbox. There's plenty of other options such as imap, webmail, pop3/smtp, etc
Ok, let's look at the options:
POP3 - you better hope that you you never get those "gallstone" emails that clog up your pipes (ie, your boss emails you the 100MB photo gallery from the company party - as a zipfile)
IMAP - I have tried it at my company's system (tried using Thunderbird), and it kept giving me a weird "message not read" error on each sync. Could never get rid of it, even after doing traces and deleting suspect emails on the server
webmail - ok, on a non-IE browser, this is really weak, like worse than hotmail/yahoo kind of weak.
I've tried all the options, and I keep having to come back to using Outlook... I really look forward to a working Mail.app exchange-compliant connection.
So now people will have to put greasy fingers on the screen to do anything ?
Oleophobic coating to the rescue... maybe this is one of the advances that will propel adoption of touchscreens? I remember using touchscreens back in 1994, and the tech was old back then too. Oiling up your screen is one of the reasons I think they never really caught on.
If John Dvorak says it's true, you can bet it's false.
This guy has been wrong about more things than I can remember, and he still gets paid (probably because it pays to troll).
I wouldn't trust his opinion other than to believe the exact opposite.

It gives them cover to kill Google ChromeFrame (which stands to completely undo Microsoft's lock on IE users).
I see that happening if there's any update in installation of ChromeFrame.

p.s., next time we'll just outsource your C-level jobs to India and China and keep the factory workers here.

This should force the FEC to outright ban electronic voting. I guess my .sig is getting old by now.
See, Microsoft knows it doesn't have to "compete" for windows/office business. Monopolies are nice that way.
