If you want simple computing, fine, but why should the device be forcibly limited using code signing? Have a little switch somewhere that lets me load any software I want onto the thing, then I can hack around the limits I don't want. But instead I'm only allowed to load Apple-approved code onto the device, crippling it far beyond what the hardware would otherwise allow.
Then you are probably the sort of person the OpenMoko is designed for. Too bad about the smaller screen and the limited on-board flash.
There is the ever-present threat of Operating Systems being marginalized to a role of providing a portal to a web-based OS. Whomever controls the browser will get a good chunk of ad revenue.
For some reason the boss didn't like the rfid tags idea for boss tracking. Maybe you should use bluetooth as an early-detection system if the range in your workplace is satisfactory.
You'll probably have to spend 10-15 years working your way up through the IT chain to get to CIO/CSO before anyone is going to consider you for a board position. That depends on how many people you have above you, your ability to fill their roles when they are gone, and how many you can eliminate in a day.

Straight-up blocking it is probably more clearly illegal than throttling.
...legal threats...
I am still waiting for that list of 235 patents.
Oh right, after rigging the ISO process with OOXML and their triumph over open standards they're going to go open source?
Well, despite all the effort they put into getting OOXML approved, they will (theoretically) implement ODF in the next version of Office.
Will current N routers get a firmware upgrade when the spec is finalized?

So aliens must exist! If they didn't exist the meteorites would be lying on the ground, not "hidden".

Determine IE7 compatibility by using FF2 Portable.
Am I missing something?
There is a difference between my Ethernet not working and colored tabs.

Actually, it's www.pcpro.co.uk (TFA's site)
Oh sure, we can kick this particular bunch out in November, but the potential replacements are just as bad.
Really? If I were burying a politician head-first in the sand, I would want to bury him up to the ankles.
Who said anything about airliners? It's my understanding that this thing will be unmanned.
It works fine. Disable NoScript.
Just because the soil can support life, that doesn't mean the atmosphere is thick enough, UV is in the proper range, gravity is strong enough...
Why? It's not like any of us will ever go aboveground to take advantage of this shortcoming.
For some reason Mythbusters' full-size remote control cars come to mind...
Actually that could be a very useful bit of body language. I guess it depends on how exaggerated the facial cues are.
Ghaaaa! You sent me off on a Wikipedia click-trail.
This means I get to be a bit picky when I need a job.
And code for WINE.
