hahaha.. clearly you don't remember what happen when he left before and the company needed to be saved my Microsoft?
I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
Well you're already wrong about that part, so your hopes will probably come to pass. Jobs was already back when the bit with MS occurred, and I would call saying they "saved" Apple quite a stretch.
IF and only if no one under any circumstances is exempt from name publishing. And police cars are subject to the same when their lights are not on and are not responding to emergencies.
How, pray tell, would you apply science to say law, love, justice, literature, art, or a very large number of other subjects I could list.
Speaking for myself, I would say in the context of how the human mind has evolved along with its current social structures, and the underlying reasons we find things to be creative, or "art". But then, beyond being just an atheist, I am not sure such concepts as the human spirit, or the self, are accurate models of what a human mind is.
I saw them repeatedly in Tokyo in April with all the aftershocks going on. Most of them gave enough time to have gotten out of a bldg easily in enough time to be useful. Some were as much as a minute before the quake.
A good and rational idea that most consumers would support, until:
The corps, recognizing threats to their profits, rev up lobbyists; The concomitant rise in the price of consumer goods is used against the idea (in our cash strapped present economy); The politicians' donations are leveraged by the corps as usual; The countries where the current mfg takes place, recognizing threats to their profits, rev up lobbyists; etc.
Dell's management shortsightedly completely self-destructed their company by not hanging on to any of the necessary key components for manufacturing a computer.
The really key "component", which he describes in the difference between Dell and Apple, is not physical. His point is that Apple still does all the design of their products, choosing ALL the components and designing the motherboard themselves, in spite of the cost to do so. Dell outsourced that, and therefore no longer really owned the design of the product or the expertise to make it.
That is the real focus of all three of the articles, that these companies are being managed in the traditional hierarchical fashion of the 20th century, and that if they don't start thinking along new lines to keep key innovation skills (not necessarily manufacturing ability, but the means to create 1st rate products which requires KNOWLEDGE of manufacturing expertise), this will happen more and more.
How many people were disappointed when they found the iPad wouldnt be running Darwin? Lots.
Really? REALLY?
Try virtually none. Most people who are interested in an iPad don't even know what Darwin is.
All things being equal, a tablet able to optionally run a full PC OS might be a great competitor to an iPad. But all things won't be equal. That ability will up your hardware requirements to the point that price and battery life will not be comparable. And by the time MS gets one out, it will not be competing with iPads, it will be competing with macbook airs that offer the OS X version of the same thing.
I have to completely disagree with the premise, that IT locking down the machine is causing the issue. I believe that IT choosing an architecture that is general purpose, and then removing most of its general purpose functionality, is a part of the problem.
I don't see the difference between those. Or is your point that it is not the entire issue?
Plus Sandbox games are the ones people are least likely to finish because many don't give a shit about the missions at all. They buy the game to goof around in. I'm put a good deal of time in to Just Cause 2, and done very little of the story. I don't care about it, not only is it a lame story, but I got the game just to mess around. I run around and blow stuff up, that is what I got the game for. I may never finish the story because that isn't the reason to have it.
Dead on. My son has done the exact same with that game.
A similar case already went through the courts on the rights to the original superman character. I believe the lawyer who prevailed for the original creators in that case is representing the Eagles.
What has happened to law enforcement in this country that too many of them have started acting like there's no such thing as accountability?
They haven't started acting like it, they've always thought there wasn't any. And until recently, there wasn't much. Ubiquitous video cameras and the internet have changed things, and they don't like it any more than the RIAA.
Mostly agree, but I have seen rats in Tokyo subways as well. Only an odd few though, not an infestation.
Recently used the metro in DC, though, and was pretty disappointed in their smart card vending and turnstiles compared to Tokyo. Took me 5 times longer to figure out how to purchase and fund a card than it did in Japanese.
You name both CDs and DVDs, and then proceed to describe the process by which you can do whatever you want with the CD, but ignore that the same steps are not "allowed" or approved for DVDs, although they are quite nearly as easy. The studios do NOT want you burning copies of those, or putting them on your ipod, unless you have sprung for the deluxe disk with their digital copy.
If you think the record companies wouldn't like to be doing a similar thing, and that wasn't one of the major goals of adding DRM to music, you're not paying attention. The reason they can't is their medium (the CD) was developed before such things were thought, and the cat was too far out of the bag to get back in. They tried with SACD and DVD-A, but misjudged the market's direction.
(dvi had no DRM before hdmi came along). audio and video could easily have been on separate wires. but that would have been too consumer friendly!
HDCP could be optionally applied by the source device on DVI as well, but was not mandatory. And it was applied for some early HD devices like the first DVD players with DVI outputs. Was quite annoying to me personally, as my old projector had a non-HDCP compliant DVI input.
In this example, it wouldn't be secretly. The cop would be enabling the 3 minutes of pre-recording themselves by pushing the recording button. They just didn't like the fact that the recording might include additional information they did not wish seen in the recording. Guess why.
The cameras in LA do not shoot video. They take 1 or 2 still shots of the car and its plate and their relationship to the boundary line of the intersection. There is no context.

But that's not going to happen.
Less than 50%. My less than sign got eaten.
The point of faith is to live, do, and be better, where the metric of better is normative.
If that were true of an large enough majority of those with faith, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Unfortunately, I'd give it 50%.

Maybe to open the door and find a bunch of bodies with exploded heads, proving God doesn't want you thinking about such things.

Well. I'd argue Disney came close with Pixar. Although their current and upcoming sequel happy roster may give the lie to my statement.

you all squealed like stuck pigs when your gasoline hit $4 a gallon for goodness sakes.
Not all. A subset of us are pleased as it will drive a trend towards smaller, more efficient cars.
Plus it reduced traffic on my commute.
More like the other is a leatherman.
You can do a lot more with the full toolchest. But the leatherman is easier to carry around and works fine for what most people want to do.

Someone used the word hone correctly, and without appending "in" to it. I am going to go weep for joy.

When they haven't seen the iphone 5 to copy it yet?
I read that as tractor. Raised my eyebrows, I must say.
