Oh, how I look forward to a single day without something about the iPhone. It is as if our trillion dollar economy depended solely upon this novelty. The poor desperation of all the lost souls in the world that don't own one and never will. Come on/.ers, let's try just one day without a meaningless story about something that most people don't own and most never will.
with this being checked twice a year, I think they'll notice people getting sick months before the bees give any clues. I'd love to know the exact toxins that they are expecting to find. I didn't think that bees were huge consumers of air. If they want to speed up the process, simply wipe down the jet engines from landing planes and get a sample bees spattered all around the intake.
Thank you for proving my original point! See there are people that are not able to see the direct link and have been convinced that taxing companies doesn't affect them.
If you really think that CEO take a pay cut to make ends meet, you've never worked in a major company. As soon as their costs go up, they charge more. If that doesn't make sense, do a little research on gas prices and taxes. Almost half is taxes...and yet the oil companies make around $15B each per year. Add another tax, I promise you that next year they will still earn just as much, but your gas will cost more.
I know, it seems too simple, but try watching the news. So many people in the country love the idea of "sticking it to the MAN" in higher taxes and fees. Name one company that has seen their profits go down as the result of taxes or fees. They simply raise their prices and pass along the tax to everyone else. Only people living off the grid can not see that cap-n-trade will not cost the energy companies a dime but the average person a whole lot.
It's why some people in this country want to see all the taxes go down and others with less dot-connecting abilities want to see all the rich and every big company pay more in taxes. This is where the concept of shooting yourself in the foot is happening today.
No...Microsoft is imitating Apple again. This concept is purely Apple now being considered for computer OS. The real shame is that this "leaked" power point is nothing. It isn't official. It isn't verified. Heck, I could put together a few slides and claim it is from Apple. Flamebait!!!!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if people in America started to connect the dots...Any time a bank or oil company or wireless carrier or ANYTHING is taxed, charged, fined, or purchasing anything from Gov., the users and buyers are the ones that pay for it. Why in hell would anyone want to tax banks? So you can pay higher fees for your account. Why would you want to tax oil exploration? So you can pay more at the pump. Why would any get excited about billions going to the government in fees, when in the end the people of America will be paying for it. There is little income to the government that the poor, middle and rich folks in America don't end up paying for one way or another.
...even if the light is stored (paused motion), if the trigger to release the light is not light itself, how much is gained in overall potential for speed. If electrons are used to open or close "doors" to the light, would this be the same end response time as generating the light when needed? Putting theory into practice is fun, but where are they trying to head? Light transistors and memory are great if they are completely light based...otherwise, you are still waiting for the slowest part of the process.
University students in Arizona are out kicking themselves in the butt for not seeing something that even 7th graders could find. One gold star next to the 7th graders on chart. One black eye for university students. And some say that legalizing pot will be a good thing.
I'm short on examples, but in my experience the more expensive the software the worse it is.
I can give a good example where $1000 is well worth it. I've been using Chief Architect for almost 13 years. It is stunning. It allows me to design real working drawings and do what SU does but a whole lot more and a whole lot easier. The article is correct in saying that SU can making a great looking image with a "simple design", but it will take more than a little bit of time to do the same with a complex design.
Ultimately, Google designed this so people would help populate their 3D Earth with buildings...just the shells. Its grown to a little more than that, but it still lags behind lots of software that specialize in this area.
I do architectural design and SU is not the answer to every problem. If you're doing multi-million dollar designs, heck, spend a couple bucks and use programs that are easier and more powerful. Sure, it can be fun to try to learn and navigate your way through the program, but give me my architectural design software with ease and simplicity and powerful photo-realistic images in a fraction of the time of SU. Play with free. Work with paid for programs.

You make a good point, but the real reason they "give away" updates is so that they can continue to draw you in to purchase more apps through their store. Most other carriers make next to nothing on additional apps. Even Droid can load your phone full of goodies without paying anything for tons of apps, and yet Google will undoubtedly send updates as well. No big hooray for Apple. They make great stuff, but they are not altruistic.
I'm more worried about the Dihyrda-Oxide that they are purposely putting back into the air. What are they thinking! Environmentalists will certainly sound the alarm on this!
Everyone posts that simply good coding practices will solve your problems. I didn't read through all of the security flaws they are now reporting, but good coding doesn't overcome flaws in the language. If these flaws allow for security problems, it is of great concern! When parts of a language don't always function they way you expect, how are you supposed to code. I really don't want to have to code exceptions, triggers, catches and the like for every part of the language I use. That's silly. Don't tell me proper coding solves all security flaws when you don't even know where the bugs are.
Rice...humm... are we talking about slash or dot on this site? You can tell when nerds get outside of their comfort zone in discussion...they will end up by talking about sex or food. I see the food comments above...
and when you finally have freedom, you then want the government to do everything for you and regulate everything that is not perfect in hopes that the government will make it perfect...then you lose your freedom again.
Don't think the Chevy Volt will be capable of 100mph. Anyway, everything Google makes is BETA for years without problem. I think its just their way of saying, "don't blame us if anything ever goes wrong"...like with Gmail.
I see your perspective and grounds for disagreement. However, go to wikipedia to read more from people that know more and you will see:
"... Monopolies can form naturally or through vertical or horizontal mergers. A monopoly is said to be coercive when the monopoly firm actively prohibits competitors from entering the field."
I think some (perhaps not you) could argue that Apple is monopolistic in the sense that they develop an OS that must run on their hardware and a hardware that must run their OS. They develop phones that must run their apps, bought only through their stores when they also get a cut of everything you put on it. The same with most things they make.
Could you imagine what people would say if MS made a computer that could only run MS OS, AND you could only get MS OS on a computer they built? What if all MS PDA's only allowed you to purchase software from their online store and everyone wanting to sell software had to give a cut to MS.
"In economics, a monopoly (from Greek monos / (alone or single) + polein / (to sell)) exists when a specific individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it" - wiki
Perhaps you will want to change the wikipedia definition since it doesn't entirely agree with your view of monopoly. Note: control over a "product or service", not the whole market.
I'm allowed to disagree on/. I hope. Bias that is trying to sway people by leaving out all the facts is not helpful.
Apple is the THE most monopolistic company involved in electronics today. At one time, the fanboys used to point fingers at MS at being the big monopoly. Now Apple controls all software, hardware, distribution for everything the touch. Sure they make good products, but they were also positioned in such a way that they could screw over their base and make huge OS changes over the past 30 years and leave all previous software behind. You upgrade to new OS, you buy all new software too. Apple could do that with only a handful of buyers. MS on the other hand had millions of corporate and individual users that couldn't afford to purchase completely new versions of all of their software they bought.
Did MS lack the ability to change and advance fast, OR did market mandate that they move slow? I think a reasonable argument could be made for the latter. I know that through each new version of OS that MS produced, I was able to keep the thousands of dollars of software I had invested in. Now with Win 7 working wonderfully, I would expect to see more Apple attacks so they don't lose ground against MS.
