That's not necessarily true... we COULD build cars out of lighter yet stronger materials if we wanted to spend a lot more on our cars... unfortunately, since we seem to build most consumer vehicles out of the same materials, they keep getting heavier as we add more reinforcement and equipment for safety. Still, weight alone is not a measure of safety. There is a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joMK1WZjP7g) showing an old car hitting a new one. The new one wins even though it's probably close to a ton lighter. Just because you have inertia on your side, doesn't mean you can take the hit you will be handing out better. So, in conclusion, we need to find ways to lesson production costs on lighter, stronger materials and not just reduce the size of vehicles.
Well, I think he is telling you two things... 1) he feels you should buy a second vehicle for driving to the grocery and 2) he would rather have a head-on collision in his Smart car with another Smart car than with a 3 ton truck... the second is reasonable but the first is not really.
We used calculus all the time when I was co-oping as a programmer during college. Worked at a chemical plant in the IT department and we wrote and updated the software for print MSDS, drum labels, and for doing the formulation and calculations that the chemists in the company used. It was math math math all the time. Depends on where you get your job. Keep in mind though, that if you can't do the math, you will have a more limited job list to pick from.
I think the single greatest advantage to the chat systems over voice calls for tech support, is that the customer can understand what the hell the foreign dignitary who they are speaking with is saying.
You mean like when they were sued for forcing everyone that used their OS to use their browser engine? Oh wait, that's Apple on iOS... Microsoft only included the browser, didn't include it AND force you to use it.
I'm surprised these type of virus infections don't happen more frequently to Apple users... I mean, their back doors have already been left gaping from the price of their iProduct.
The TIAA? Teaching Industry Association of America? You mean to tell me there's an organized group of people who are trying to stop something they get paid for from being offered for free online? That's a new concept.
So what you are saying is, because Apple basically took a touchscreen computer monitor off it's stand and put it in your hand, that shape should now belong to them?
Adapter dongles or cables will no doubt be of little use in docking stations unless you are fine laying your iDevice near the docking device and not actually connecting it to it as was intended.
Every manufacturer wouldn't be making bigger and bigger displays if that wasn't what a lot of customers wanted. Even Apple is rumored to be getting in on the game, maybe a little late, but still they want to play. Everyone else... pretty much all premium smartphones other than the iPhone? Big displays. They are selling. So, while [YOU] don't want one, [EVERYONE ELSE] does apparently.
We dropped the phone service right away... that's a waste anymore if you already have a cellphone with Bluetooth capability. Get a home phone system from Panasonic or GE or whatever with Bluetooth linking and use that. Then you are down $40 right away. That's the $25 for the phone + $15 for taxes and fees on the phone service, you know.. the stuff they don't mention in the commercials. Next, if you don't have to have HD, drop to the lowest TV package, or if you can get what you need online, drop TV altogether. That's what we did. You can get local OTA or from their websites, and channels like TBS and TNT will show their main shows on their sites. Really does make a difference in your free time too. You don't just plop on the couch when you get home because the big one eye's slave master isn't calling you to veg out.
the 90 million is an estimation of what Samsung would lose due to the injunction. Of course, that doesn't take into consideration what Apple stands to gain in contrary. Maybe they should put the two together and then make them pay that.
Yeah, the only thing more evil would have been for MS to sell devices that require interaction with your computer, and then force you to use their software to perform said interaction... and then made that software really crappy and slow... now THAT would have been pure evil.
That's the sales pitch they used to sell my brother-in-law a high-deductible plan with a health savings account. He's a firefighter, and he and his fellow fighters have turned to just not reporting anything other than very major injuries on their insurance because with a HD plan, you end up paying around double the usual costs, due to administrative fees from filing with insurance then being denied payment and having to file with you. It's ridiculous.
Exactly. Our employer used to pay all of our HMO benefits so we were out $20 when seeing a doc for something. This year they dropped us to a high-deductible plan, now I pay $115 a visit ($55 if I didn't have insurance) because it costs more than twice as much to file with the insurance company then have them deny payment because a deductible is not yet met, then bill the customer. All this, and my company still has to pay a premium, albeit a smaller one. Couple this with me discovering my blood pressure is out of control a month after the switch and I just took a pay cut in the amount of my very high deductible. Yay.
If you aren't covered by your employer, good luck paying the huge premiums yourself.
It'll help more middle-class into the lower-class desperate zone... which is what is wanted right? Get rid of the middle-class because they are suffering the most?

It'll be revolutionary when Apple does it though :o)

Our shoulders are going to be huge! We'll all look like MIchael Phelps after a year using Windows 8.
One has to ask oneself, why have a desk at all if one does not have a keyboard or mouse?

You mean like a computer monitor? Like pretty much all computer monitors? http://www.itechnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dell-s2409w-full-hd-lcd-monitor.jpg Man, from a distance, I couldn't tell if that was a monitor or an iPad.

You may have seen these people on the popular reality television show, iHoarder.
will Apple be gluing the generators to the facility now so that they cannot be easily replaced?
The problem being, a good judge will step down for something like this, but a bad judge will most likely take his/her place.
