I'd rather see MeeGo taking a sizeable portion of market from Android. With MeeGo, desktop Linux skills suddenly become very relevant in job market, and we'll get more desktop software (eventually).
With Android, Java skills are everything and... um... we got more people capable of doing Websphere/JBoss stuff? What a victory would that be.
Nobody cares about you being unemployed with your irrelevant linux skills.
Making themselves yet another Android vendor would give little reason for people to prefer their phones over somebody else's
I was (no longer since the crappy N97) a great Nokia fanboi. They simply make the best hardware, and have kept understanding that a smartphone should be a phone with PDA functions and not the other way around. The OS has nothing to to with it; its only advantage at one time was that is was the only game in town, especially at a time where the competition was windows mobile, which is a badly hacked version of a PDA OS that was not very good to begin with. Not so anymore with IOS and Android
But as a would be programmer and generally as a geek, I simply hate Symbian. I would certainly buy a Nokia Android. Or the best of both world; it should not be tremendously hard to make the Dalvik VM run on Symbian.
You could just buy the DVDs of whatever movie/show you wish to see. It would certainly be less expensive than this "space" plan.
The frickin shows I want to see is not available in stores, unless months afterwards, dubbed by people who don't understand the poorly translated references the translator did not get; DVD is an obsolete technology, sometimes I download the content of a DVD I own because it's inconvenient to manipulate the disk; DVDs are at the store, internet is at my home.

But the Awesome bar IS awesome. by remembering a few keytstrokes, you can reach any page previously visited. It really IS progress if you actually try to use it. Actually, now that Firefox 4 has effectively killed plugin backwards compatibility, the Awesome Bar is the only thing that keeps me from moving to Chrome.
Imagine a 3 star restaurant where people can get a price they can afford by booking in time yet where more well off people can just drop by at any time.
And how do you know that, as has always been the case until now, technological advances will not encourage people who like/can't help breeding to breed until the higher carrying capacity is reached again? Ultimately, there IS a limit to growth, be it one sq metre per person, or the number of atoms available in the universe. Will technology solve this ?
Travelling longs distances is cool and associated with freedom. Everybody wants to do it, as quick, cheap and often as possible. Shipping long distance is neutral to lame, and associated with pollution, ofshore outsourcing. Everybody hates it, except for truckers (whom everybody hate) and oil sheiks (ditto).
So the former is politically easy to defend, the latter is harder.
That's the issue with representative democracy, party politics and lobbying.
Suppose 33% of the voters support A, 30% support B, 20% support C and 17% support D Furthermore, suppose that unrelated to this general policy choice, 90% of the voters support X.
Now, suppose that the 10% that would lose when a policy favoring X would be in place, are actually rich enough to lobby parties A, B, C, and for all it matters don't bother lobbying D. For all it matters, party D can even find a niche in actively defending X.
This is how after the elections, anti X legislation gets passed. Sheeple live with it, party D opposes but nobody cares.
DMCA, HADOPI, PATRIOT are typical examples of this situation.

So how long before snake oil vendors market overpriced airconditioning additives that tune the air to optimal permittivity/permeability?

Personnally, I'll wait for mobiles that go to 11G

Because in return you can steal anyone else's invention and sell your own copy.

Duh.

Did I propose any system that was better? Churchill was pretty much spot on.
But if you want a direct democracy that works, forget about Cali and go to Switzerland.

one word: chapters.
Does he at least provide the actual value of N ? Also, did he consider the trivial case where P=0 ?
no, in base Pi, Pi=1*Pi^1 + 0*Pi^0 + 0*Pi^-1 + 0*Pi^-2 + 0*Pi^-3 + 0*Pi^-4...
hence, in base Pi, Pi= 10.0000000000..., like in base 10, 10=10.00000000000..., like in base 2, 2=10.0000000...
In base Pi, it's zero.
The moment we know, the stars will start to fade out.
110% is not an unusual market penetration.
That's just silly. Who the heck uses his hands to grasp his iPhone 4 ?
Same for us (mobile telco, 5m subscribers): 100 per 5 years
Exactly. Cite me ANY annoying rule (complexity, history, periodical change...) that can NOT be nullified by a simple minimalistic formula.
Exactly. If it doesn't use the camera, the GPS, the accelerometer or any other input peripheral, it's not an app.
