A combination of history, good marketing, vendor lock in, agressive business practise, a few other sprinklings of fairy dust and mostly a public who know no better.
I thought that this was the modern way of doing business. . Rather than competing by supplying a better product/service/price it is better to prevent competition by tying those that would be competing with you up in the courts.
The article was in the business section of the News Papers web site. Not the environmental or the technology. All as far as I can tell Pepsi has found a way to cut down on waste disposal (cost savings) and rely less on external suppliers with production. (cost savings).
Any environmental benefits (real, exagerated, imagined or ortherwise hyped) are nothing more than consequential and/or spin.
I am a Ubuntu user. My son was gifted a 4g iphone for Christmas from family overseas. Can he use it. No. Because There is no way to currently get it to sync with anything other than itunes on Windows or Mac (Amorak et al, do not seem to work on 4g phones) I refuse to let him access itunes through wifi as I refuse to give apple any money.
If this latest update will allow my rythmbox to finally sync, then we will upgrade. Otherwise apple can jump
Our local theater standard Movies are $16.00. 3d were $18.00. and then they realised people were keeping the glasses - So they became a dollar cheaper if you brought your glasses with you next time.
No not the case, they raised the ticket price to $19.00, 18 if you reused your glasses
I agree, and it works beyond the Human ER. As much as I love my Mrs, I hate the fact that I have not been able to watch an "Animal Rescue" or "Vets in action" show with her around for all the years we have been together.
"Horror", "Thriller" and "gore" Movies are wildly enjoyed, But as soon as she thinks she might se a puppy who hasn't been fed for a week, she can not stand it. I have not been able to get her to watch the animated classic Watership Down (based on the classic book)
I am a government employee in New Zealand. (Health). I have worked for the country's largest bank and insurance companies.
When I got tot he hospital, I was astonished to find how lax computer security is. I can download and install software on any P.C I desire, and this is not just because I am an I.T staff member as anyone with network access has the same ability. (yes, I think I signed a piece of paper saying that I wouldn't)
In my time at the bank and insurance companies, things were locked down. Users had no access to their C drives. It has become a bit of a joke in the hospital how many viruses are actually floating around our systems.
With this and the Australian Ambulances, it goes to show you how much more money is valued than life in many places:)
Lawsuits like this see people in sticky situations, it is going to be tedius to clean up this mess. Coincidentally, the same can be said for the effects of visiting Red tube.
Or you could work in a hell hole like mine that provides nothing in the way of upskilling for employees causing us to become more and more irrelevant with every passing day.
I believe it is their retention strategy - to make it so we will never be able to find work anywhere else or support any other systems besides those that we currently run
I hope this does not work out like Fonterra’s joint venture to try and get a share of the Dairy industry and China: baby Deaths due to too much melamine in infant formula.
I tried something similar as a kid - Only instead of a Laser my concentrated light source came from a magnifying glass. It controled the neurons of the worms as much as to cease locomotion - albeit permanently. I gave up my research when I got my 1st BB gun.
I don't think I will be able to handle glasses constantly needing to be charged.
Some people need their glasses to drive - with flat batteries, we don't want people suddenly becoming blind on our roads.
On the plus side, assuming that these are electronically adjustable, they may work out cheaper - As we age and our eyes get worse, are we going to be able to change the settings to incerase the glasses strength?
This is one the most, if not the most important aspect of music.
Music is often defined as organised noise. Hitting notes as written is important - Correctly paying the notes as written, to the timing written is to play music.
Imagine a percussionist with no timing - Imagine a duet where both instruments are playing their own tempo Now imagine that upscaled to a whole symphonic orchestra.
I do not profess to know anything, but I never quite understand it when people go on about a planets ability - or lack there of to sustain life.
Now I (think I) understand the habitable zone, but just because something is too hot or too cold for our liking, does that really mean it would be too hot or cold for whatever may evolve independently of what has evolved here on earth?
The search for water is often associated with the search for life. Have I watched too much bad SciFi and read too many comics that I fail to see the relevance?
I have always felt that people put too narrow a view on what life is or could be.

On My Side of the world, it is Wednesday already. . . Confusion. . .
Somebody tell me what to do
Am I praising Google, or hating them today? It seems so hard to keep up with the trends. . .

Does anyone else see this one coming?

No phones. Period.
This is the way its done in the States. I'm surprised it isn't universal.
Because in most other countries, it would be: "No Phones. Full-Stop"
Wow.

Another fine product by Omni Consumer Products.
I'd buy that for a dollar
Hopefully now he will FOCUS on the positives and forget about the NEGATIVES
this is a bit off topic.

Doesn't everybody already only use hotmail for the junk email? What would I use the others for? Collecting more spam from more email addresses?

They are going to have different versions for different tablets.
This way they will ensure as much market confusion as to what an Android Tablet is as they do presently with what an Android smartphone is.
Wow! I thought having email back ups to 2004 was being anal. 1983, you win.

I am not sure how this relates to making aeroplanes but to say, there are a lot of dodgy things that seem to go on in china http://www.fonterra.com/wps/wcm/connect/fonterracom/fonterra.com/our+business/news/media+releases/fonterra+believes+hong+kong+claim+has+no+foundation (how much lead paint and Spider hero merchandise adorns the shelves of your local dollar store)
On the other hand, anyone who has flown a few hours with a screaming baby will be happy for a melamine meal.

That is funny. Ouor local news skewed Blood Libel as "Groups of Jews who kill Christians for ritual sacrifice"

Timing?
This is one the most, if not the most important aspect of music.
Music is often defined as organised noise. Hitting notes as written is important - Correctly paying the notes as written, to the timing written is to play music.
Imagine a percussionist with no timing - Imagine a duet where both instruments are playing their own tempo Now imagine that upscaled to a whole symphonic orchestra.
". .not "very wrong" Can I show this to my wife?
But thank you for the clarification.

Feel free to let me know why I am very wrong. .
