Finally, you can go with BREW, Qualcomm's stripped-down, barebones OS. BREW is most definitely NOT an OS. Rather, it's an API layer the OEM provides on top of the OS that allows limited access to certain data and functionality of the device. Closest relative might be Java, without the virtual machine - BREW is all native.
I think this is pretty important. It's not just a simple "if its expensive, it must be good" kind of misattribution that some advocates argue. In part it's a "if everybody does it" kind of argument that actually works: "If we find it worth it to pay for this, then so do other businesses. Which means these people have a real, sustainable income stream, and a real future."
I totally agree. We inherited a large number of really low revenue contracts that were locked in forever. We went to those clients and asked to renegotiate with the argument that it was in their best interest to help ensure our viability as one of their vendors. Every single one agreed to pay more, and everyone felt good about it.
I remember back in grade 7 we had to devise a system that would protect an egg from a fall from the roof of the school. I think we used foam and rubber bands... or something.
Anyway, the guys that built this probe probably kicked ass on that exercise...
Hear, hear, brother. I'm sceptical as hell. In the QT movies, there were no shots from the side - it all seemed fishy to me. They may have (or not) been working on it for 24 years, but it clearly doesn't work as well as they claim - otherwise the car companies would be doing it!

...unavailable during service and power outages, the writeup mentions broadband over power lines as a possible solution to the power failure problem.
Not quite... Although poorly written, the article does not suggest this - the broadband over power lines was suggested as a solution to the broadband-delivery problem.
Ok, but let's just say it's the Ontario equivalent of PBS, 'cause I don't receive TVO in Alberta (we have "Access" - same idea) and last time I looked, I still live in Canada...

... the G4s will be used as point-of-sale terminals for its counter staff to handle RTA customers transactions across "prepared business applications" as well as for "collecting data and payments and issuing licences, registration certificates and receipts for various transactions"...
So they are using full blown Macs for a cash register, attaching a laser printer for receipts and certificates and running some specific software. Seems to me a cheaper solution might be found using a dumber device and a web app or two.

When you're in that position, it's important to look at the correct moon...
They're not craters - they're nostril holes. And the Rover isn't "stuck in the sand" inasmuch as it is being eaten.

Yep, their only option is to differentiate by going non-standard. Ok, more non-standard.

So "a bitch and a half" == -0.5 stars (assuming a scale of 0 to 5)?
A problem that severe ("a bitch and a half" sounds pretty nasty; messy even) deserves to impact the overall score a little more, don't you think?
