I'll stand behind that statement, hp-u IS barely an operating system.
At any rate anyone that didn't see this coming after the palm buyout must be blind. It will fail, consumers don't need another mobile os given there are three good choices with MS bleeding along at 4th place.
Probably, maybe less. The reality of a virtualized world means that there's no need for excessive amounts of extra storage due to deduolication, servers only need to start on demand to fulfill user expectancy,
Maintenance is a joke, once a system is up and running in a virtual environment it can run anywhere in your enterprise.
The likely reason is that there were actually too many people still using the service and not generating new revenue for MS. Good luck getting them to admit it though.
Exactly, and as a responsible citizen, if Apple refused it, it still doesn't change the fact that it was not his phone. In that particular case he should have taken it to the local police station where they would have taken it and held it until THEY (you know the authorities) decided it was abandoned.
Now we just need to get the whole industry to realize they don't even need full jewelcases to distribute the games. I'd be ok with the tall format, just slim it down.
I will miss manuals though, Zelda manuals are among my favorite.
Apple got in trouble for allowing an app like this in their store a few months ago that had a lot of Political satire. No one rushed to their defense then that it was freedom of speech. No, instead they received backlash about how it was offensive app.
Apple is damned if they do and damned if they don't in your colorful little world.
Meh, you obviously didnt' play Asheron's Call then. There wasn't much to do in the game, and there wasn't much you couldn't solo, except for the big content with the entire server there lagging everything to hell. On top of that, to be a top level player, you basically needed to dupe a few hundred other people to earn free xp for you. It was ONLY a grind fest with little in game story.
I appreciated my time there. I only wish I hadn't spent so much time and money on it.
...is all I heard when I read it. The mere fact that he's a supporter of the one of the web's worst technologies is enough for me to figure out he's a douchebag. The fact that he doesn't want to deal with the comments THAT CALL HIM OUT ON THE FACT THAT HE IS USELESS AND DOESNT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
I don't hear anyone talking about how the iPad doesn't support Java Applets. Get over yourself Adobe, you are not a web standard and never were.
As far as the verbiage, I stand behind it. The more layers you infect on the platform, the worse off it is going to be. Hence the modern computing world where everyone has injected layer after layer after layer and things have become slower than monkey shit sliding down a wall. I welcome the fact that Apple is drawing the line in the sand and keeping the mobile market where it needs to be, lean and well coded.
You do know you can recompile a kernel right? Ubuntu keeps it out for legal/license reasons, but there's no reason you can't compile it into the kernel.
The price to run AIX and get software support where I am is about roughly the support of Linux. We saw that and decided to stick with the OS that's fully supported by the company rather than one that needed to be hacked to run on Power.
BTW, that's BS about the add/remove on CPUs and memory, especially on the 595s. The only problem is getting a CE that feels comfortable doing it. But really the future is in being able to migrate your partitions off of the hardware that you want to change and then move them back after your work is complete. We're even at a point where hardware failure can be recognized and the system will do this automatically.
Also not sure about the HMC placement but we have a few managing servers at completely different sites. Again, maybe not what IBM wants you to do, but there's absolutely no reason you can't do it.
I'll echo the parent's sentiments. I love working with AIX, in some ways it feels like it's behind Linux and in others it feels like it blows the doors off of it.
I only wish I could run it at home so I could actually learn how to administer it without spending an arm and a leg on hardware and dropping a new power circuit to my home.
Maybe they should reduce the eff'ing price model on their Oracle line and maybe, just maybe focus on the AIX version instead of leaving it last for support.
I've surfed the web on it, I've read my email. I started reading a book. I've watched a few Netflix TV shows and part of a movie on it.
Seems to do what it was intended to and by comparison to my iPhone, was a much easier experience on me because of the larger screen.
Seems to me like it's a device that does what it's touted to. And I think it can only get better as we have more developers that are actually able to get their hands on it and see their app running on it first hand.
Don't complain about non updated apps less than a week after launch. If Facebook doesn't want to update why should they. The website itself works fine on this device, so why not just make a home screen icon for it and be done with it. As for apple remote it's a piece of free software, again don't complain, personally I'd rather apple devs work on core functionality first. Remote is a toy and the existing app works fine in double mode. I've lost no functionality.
The user account stuff is ridiculous. Every home I've been in every computer has 1 active account that everyone uses or multiple computers. Yes I know that you can do it, yes I know even as a techie guy it would be great to use but the fact is that if the vast majority won't use it then there is no reason to build it. Moreover it would just complicate the system that otherwise is designed so anyone can pick up and use. Sorry for you that it doesn't have a porn mode and that you basically needed to tell everyone that.
Really all you've told me is that you hate the third party software on a 3 day old device (which btw most developers didn't see how their apps would even look on the real device). You dont like that it doesn't have a useless multiuser mode for a device meant for one person. You don't understand how the device uses location tracking (which is why it still asks without the gps module) and you don't like that they didn't provide a chat program on a device that is meant for it's viewing capabilities and not it's communication.
I got one and in three days I've done more useful work with it than the net book I bought last year. That alone makes it worth it to me.
Maybe I should complain about the crappy comment editor on this site that forces me to write my replying notepad on my iPad and paste it over here because the scrollbar (that's supposed to appear) isn't there.
And you're an editor on this site?
"Hints of the new particle had already been glimpsed in two events at Fermilab but the statistics were too low to be published. The four events observed at the LHC generated an exponential increase (2^2=4) in the statistics, allowing the physicists to announce the discovery unequivocally. "
That made me laugh out loud at work (I'm on lunch, give me a break).
It won't surprise me when it does become real. To be honest this seems like a weak prank and more like something that someone should jump on quick to make money.
I have an iPhone, a netbook (HP Mini) and a MacBook. I know where this will be useful to me, and most of those places are where I expected to use the netbook.
Also, you might want to go out in the sun again and check you iPhone/iPod touch, I've NEVER had a problem reading off of it in the sun.
Also, your idea of Multitasking is a fail. The workflow will always be: Do some text editing, go to insert an image, decide I need to edit it. You LEAVE the text editor behind and edit the image. Return to the text editor.
Guess what, that's accomplished by persistant states in the application on the iPhone. Just because you don't see the application doesn't mean it isn't there or that you can't return to the exact state you left the application in.
In watching most people work, all that most accomplish is pushing a window behind another window where it sits and does nothing. The multitasking question is a misnomer, the only thing you can't do in this current development model/api is device background processing. This would be processing a video in the background while you're browsing the web or getting your email. Are you really going to use this device to encode video? Do you really NEED to use it to run Bittorrent downloads persistantly sharing all the time?
If you application doesn't support this kind of persistance, please contact the developer, they're doing it wrong.
As far as the gaming comment, not all games need the tilt sensor and who says you need to use it on the train and not at home. Maybe your arms need the workout too if they're getting too tired.

You mix monopoly with authority. You should stop doing that.
I also suggest if you have an issue with it you go talk to Nintendo and Microsoft which have done similar things for years.
