So a group that gets by on making inflammatory comments and using other people's intellectual property in a ways they'd not like is now butt hurt someone's doing similar things towards them? I hope everyone involved laughs at them and tells them to go away.
Monopoly, Scrabble and Battleship are all the same exact game as they were decades ago and they're still fun. The same can be said about Mario games. There's no reason to be butt hurt that Nintendo can make both new franchises and continue old ones and make them fun to play.
If you're an organisation full of MBAs who think their developers are peons and everything can be solved with meetings then the methodology won't matter.
The worst thing about the wii u is the released it before having a solid set of games. That will be resolved and it will be a good games console with a solid line up of Mario, Zelda, etc games. The xbox wants to be a cable tv box and won't let you give away games to friends. Anyone with half a brain who is a gamer won't buy it.
Wow someone's disappointed he no longer has to pay for his photo storage. So much butt hurt for no good reason.
Given yahoo's state I don't think paying for a Flickr account would make it any more safe.
I'm sure google's Internet tracking software still eats up a pile of memory and in interface still eats balls so I'm still going to treat chrome like Eric Schmidt treats his wife.
Someone realises all his pretty pennies won't fixed his throat so he expects everyone else to give up their privacy in hopes that it helps him somehow. Like we should all work together. Unfortuantely we already have a plan to work together and accomplish things. It's called paying taxes and he doesn't want to participate in that so he sit their quietly cry himself to sleep.
You say that but Google seems to randomly pick what they'll shut down. Userbase means nothing. So who knows what'll happen and that's a bad thing for any company.
They gave it a 9 out of 10 for how it is built. Big deal, that doesn't make it fun to play unless you wanted to spend $99 on something to take the screws out of it.
Sure but the reason I say it was a trust system is because they could have had couriers and the postal service do what they do for international packages but on a state level and when your package enters the state they bill you for the duty and if you want your package you pay up. Rather than forcing the issue because it wasn't cost effective with there being no nice easy way to have things the next day from another state they more or less let it slide by saying you should report it. Everyone knows no one will.
But now there is a super easy and fast way to order something from anywhere in the US. If people don't like it they can move to Delaware and have no sales tax. I'm not sure what the big deal is. The tax difference between most states isn't that much. And if you live in Alabama then consider the 11% a punishment for living in such a poor state.
The difference though is Durango devkits likely resemble a PC more than the actual unit and the only way it's really meant to resemble the consumer product is the hardware specs and is strictly for developers and was almost certainly developed before the design of the unit. The first PS3 dev kit came in a server rack case. That would be like comparing it to the google glass version that looked like a raspberry pi on a pair of glasses.
I don't think it's strictly true to say Google glasses is just for developers. After all one of the options for why you want Google glass on the site's form is "personal use". The ones given away on twitter could be given to anyone. Yeah, it should be devs that received them first because they ordered awhile back but the fact non-developers are getting them means that should really resemble the finished product for the most part so it should be fair to assume that. They're supposed to be launching the explorer edition at the end of the year. The year is already almost half way over and some needs to build the things ship them and they need to go through QA and maybe go to retail shops. There's just not that much time for them to be significantly different.
Maybe you're right, maybe google just really screwed up by allowing something out that's half finished to the media and regular people but I suspect they're attempting to do what they've done with Gmail and other products and get people to want it by making it really exclusive. Maybe it'll work but it's also not a web based freebie so we'll have to see.
It's not meant to make you shop in traditional stores. It's because people are buying so much online now the states are taking a noticable hit and at least in some states you were supposed to be reporting these transactions and paying the tax. Basing the system on trust doesn't work so they're changing it.
Companies don't have to collect it but you still owe it or at least you do in certain states. It's been based on a trust system because it wasn't much of an issue before. Did you really think everyone was going to start making a lot, if not most, of their purchases online and the governments would say "oh my, you got us!"?
And even if you buy out of the country you still owe tax on those purchases. It's called duty but they generally don't waste their time on small purchases because they're being sensible about it. Why waste a lot of money collecting a couple bucks. However if everyone decided to buy out of country then they'd find an efficient way to collect duty on everything.
I'm not sure where you're getting that. I don't know anyone that's bought an iPad to be their main system and if they were a true fanboy then surely they would have an iMac and or Macbook.
Keeping a steady or very slowly growing small chunk of a billion dollar market is far better than trying to race your way to the top, burning out and becoming nothing. The problem is that's what the stock markets want so they can get their billions and then move onto the next company to ruin. Luckily Apple has stayed realistic about their mac marketshare.
With increased of around 400% in a decade and nearly a quarter of women aged 40 to 50 on them and 14% of non Hispanic white people, I think it's fair to say America is more reliant on popping pills. The concern is as well how few see a professional over their problems. They just rely on pills and ironically usage among those who are more likely to be poor and have real problems use fewer anti-depressants. It's good the pills exist but they're not the answer to every problem. They're even advertised on TV which I find a bit concerning. They're prescription drugs and shouldn't need advertising. If you're feeling down then you see a professional and they can determine the best course of action to resolve your problems.
I'm not sure he was trying to imply that Europeans never take prescription drugs for depression because that would be stupid. But Americans seem much happier to just rely on drugs to sort out any problem. Whether it's a good thing or not people are far more accepting of it and products are advertised on tv. I always found that odd because those ads do generally seem to imply their pills are an answer to small bouts of depression. Every person feels down at some point and how you handle it, imo, determines how frequently it's a problem. If you learn to just get over it because it isn't a big deal then that will make you a stronger person than someone who relies on someone else to bail them out of any little problem. It's not a problem if your doctor can recognise if you're properly depressed or just in a mood but with such a capitalist medical system I'm not sure that happens in the US.
The US government certainly isn't a perfect government in terms of ethics (and other things) but it's ridiculous to claim they're on the same level as China. That's not to say china is the worst country on the planet either.
I don't think it matters. They have more people and fewer ethics. In an all out war I don't think one super jet will help America that much. The battle will be balanced if not in their favour unless the US decides to throw everything at them possibly including nukes. My feeling is the Chinese would have more to prove than the US and will fight harder.
I don't think that's strictly true. Sure I see teen girls wearing shirts that say geek and they have smart phones but is that really geek culture if they're still wearing the awful plastered on make-up and gold hoop ear-rings just because they have a shirt that says geek?
And yeah a lot of people have smart phones but realistically they're the only phones you can choose from now. The few times I've been in a phone shop I hardly see normal phones and while Android has the potential to be geeky the fact so few people use it for apps or even the internet implies to me they're just being used as phones by a lot of people which isn't exactly geeky.
I think for a lot of people geek culture means having shiny toys. Which, I guess is fine, but Google glass just isn't looking like a shiny toy. It's looking a bit nerdy.

What this comes down to is they're negotiating for free copies of office, imo. Once MS throws some their way they'll give up.

Google has become a cancer that needs fighting. Someone needs to given a serious challenge.
I'm sure google's Internet tracking software still eats up a pile of memory and in interface still eats balls so I'm still going to treat chrome like Eric Schmidt treats his wife.

I hope you don't write code if you're struggling with that site.
I'd delay it too and take in more VC money while I can and before it's exposed that consumers think it's cheap junk.
They gave it a 9 out of 10 for how it is built. Big deal, that doesn't make it fun to play unless you wanted to spend $99 on something to take the screws out of it.

3.5% is lower than the number in America. http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/astounding-increase-in-antidepressant-use-by-americans-201110203624

Seriously, the ability to make a web form that only works in ancient technology must take more effort than to do it correctly.
