''Based on a number of inputs, we believe Intel is also vying for Apple's foundry business,'' said Gus Richard, an analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co., in a new report.
Intel may not be necessarily designing the chips. Apple could have gone with any other foundry such as TSMC, GlobalFoundries, etc.
May not be designing the chips. Intel doesn't have a freakin' thing to do with the chip designs nor manufacturing of them and never will.
You overrate both the memory span of the American voter, and the disaster that $4, $5, and $6/gallon gasoline hath wrought. In fact, the fact that gasoline doesn't immediately now drop to $1.29/gallon will be the great disappointment of the majority of the electorate.
The sooner it goes up to $5/$6 per gallon, the sooner the already certified and ready to go, bio-algae alternatives will hit the market. Big Oil is screwed when Bio-Algae stations open up. How so? They don't own the patents. Many small industry members and US Universities have the patents. They have been certified for all engine types, include US Military and US Corporate Airplanes.
No Political Posturing? Screw You. We got nothing but Political Posturing from Bush 2.0 for 8 years while they raped the nation of it's wealth. Republicans like to start wars, they just don't know how to finish them.
Congratulations to the engineers working on the original project all those years ago.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ed Stone at a recent NASA event, one of those chief engineers, if only briefly. It really is stunning to think of these most-distant man-made objects and what it must be like where they are.
When I asked him how he felt knowing that something he worked on was so far away, his answer was quite short and honest in a humble engineering sort of way: "pretty fantastic"! So absolutely fantastic, indeed!
Whence has the spirit of exploration gone, and how can we keep it strong?
Oh, and when was the last time it needed a reboot?

Until we start electing individuals with broader scientific backgrounds to serve in Congress we'll continue to have morons catering to morons.
Software Engineers--that's an oxymoron right there. Back then they were computer programmers/software programmers. Computer Science is not an Engineering Field. We aren't breaking down Stefan Boltman's constant wrt to Fins for Passive Heat Transfer like a Mechanical Engineer who treats the Programming as it should be--as a tool, not as this title of Engineer. I rarely worked with anyone at NeXT or Apple that were actually Software Engineers. They were Ph.Ds in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, etc., but because the Industry decided to create this title, ``Software Engineer'' about the same time they came up with ``Architect'' they too had the title of Software Engineer. Of course, they had the credentials of Engineer more often than not. Today's software reminds me an awful lot of like today's average home construction--substandard, never-to-code and cheaply assembled.
Hey genius, the reported numbers for the Q2 Apple just released ended in March. The past 3 weeks of supply ramping up is post not prior or during the current climate of "constrained" supply. You citing that you can get an iPhone or iPad right now is referencing after the Quakes and supply constraint, and part of Q3 which will reveal a massive bump in sales for the iPad when that happens during July.
I'm getting sooo tired of these endless lawsuits. In the end we, the customers, pay for this nonsense
Of course, it's not possible, but still I'd like to see mandatory "made by assholes" sticker on all products made by these companies. Depending on the number of software patents, aggressive lawsuits, and so on, an independent organisation should "award" them. Call it customer protection.
Apple iPhone - made by assholes
Microsoft Windows - made by assholes
Sony Playstation - made by assholes...
Of course, that would mean that almost all things you can buy would have a "made by assholes" sticker.
"Sir, I bought this Linux CD in your shop, but it doesn't have a 'made by assholes' sticker. Are you sure it's genuine?"
Shut up and invent your own crap. Then give it away you whiny little tart.
What if the person who is a wine snob is in a position to force toy to drink wine?
What happens when they try to you how you should enjoy your beer with the same qualities of wine?
What happens when they keep telling you you beer is what's wrong with the world, and you should drink wine?
And by using the term *magical* they are being insulting, and trying to divorce reality from the device.
Meaning they hide technical qualification under a special blanket so people won't think about it.
I don't care if someone likes something different, just don't lie about it and turn it into some kind of worship.
Did you write this when you were two fisting beer and wine?
OOI as someone who has no connection with the LHC and doesn't even know much physics beyond a few modules as part of a mathematics degree, are the scientists working with it particularly bright? My understanding has been that, so far, it's a very high maintenance (albeit necessary) way of checking various existing theories in the mound of increasingly untested theoretical physics. IOW, it's more of an engineering feat than a scientific one. Or are unexpected observations being made leading to new physics?
Where would Theoretical Physics and Pure Mathematics be without Engineering? You know, Applied Physics and Mathematics that tests whether theories are all BS.
and yet we still hear that Apple "barely breaks even on the iTunes Store".
Have trouble with the difference between revenue and profits? What is it with people today? They can't seem to distinguish the simplest of concepts and just want to see themselves rant. Keep whining as if you have a zinger back to the original poster who clarified the lazy question about Gross Revenue. You reinforce the notion that most people speak before they think.
Don't worry, no USEFUL information was transferred
Holy cow, they're broadcasting CNN on a quantum teleportation channel now?
It's a tough call, really. Which one really first landed on the quantum teleporation channel, FOX or CNN? I think we can safely assume FOX never started out with any USEFUL information.
Nothing will touch TeX/LaTeX/XeTeX/LuaTeX in typesetting with the massive class infrastructure it has accumulated. LaTeX 3 itself has seen significant improvements now that it's nearing fruition with now 10 core members on-board.
Hole in one. Past a certain point, most people just won't care. This is why most people listen to music on cheap, crappy speakers; the gains in paying an extra $X aren't worth it to them. Plus, people are naturally conservative by nature and won't change anything unless they're forced to or see enough of a benefit in doing so.
Try and clarify such claptrap. People are creatures of habit and unless their routines are disrupted enough that it forces them to expand into new routines they won't adapt. How the hell that means conservative must explain our current political discourse. It has nothing to to with it. It has to do with your current needs already being fulfilled and if a new routine doesn't create a new need [or better yet convince someone they not only want this but need it] they naturally won't adapt to incorporating it into their collection of routines in their life.
I'm not sure that you can say that it replaces the theory. You can use Newtonian mechanics exactly as Newton wrote them, without changing them one iota, but merely pass in the relativistic values rather than the classical ones. That doesn't sound like a replacement, that's a pre-processing routine at best. Gallilean addition of velocities is then modified by dividing the original result with a new result. A post-processing module.
In relativity, light still travels along straight lines but along a warped topology. The result is the appearance of light being bent by gravity, when it is space that is bent. Light is unaffected.
Where is the replacement?
Agreed and I will add that in 20 years or so we'll have new additions to Physics that augments Relativity and the exactness of what is actually going on with Force in a system will have a more complete picture, but we don't spit on the foundation of Newton and Einstein--we'll augment them.
I'm using Debian going on 11 years now for Linux and I strip out all the PulseAudio I can that allows me while using KDE 4.6.1 Experimental and Gnome 3 Experimental.
Warner is also now for sale. The asking price for EMI is 2 billion and Warner 3 billion.
Like hell the price is 2 and 3 billion. The price will include the massive Debt of each entity.
Citigroup won control of EMI in February after Hands' venture capital firm Terra Firma could no longer support its debt. The US bank, which never intended to be a long-term owner of EMI, immediately wrote off £2.2bn from the 114-year-old company's borrowings
Writing off 2.2 Billion pounds is not selling unit for 2.2 billion pounds.
EMI still faces considerable financial challenges. The Group has £3,038 million of debt outstanding that falls due for repayment between 2014 and 2017.
By the way, Google has a Total debts to assets ratio of 6:1. Citi Group's ratio is: 32.46 : 1. I can see why Citi wants to get rid of it. It needs to lower that in a hurry.
Either way you slice it, the price will be much higher than Google wants to chew off, for just a slice of the Music Industry. In fact, they don't want to own any of it. They want the sole right to distribute it with their Ad Model. That's it.
Well, Firefox 4 is getting there [behind Safari WebKit [not Safari 5.0.5 which is off a much older branch], Google Chrome, Epiphany 3.0, etc] but I guess somehow they will fix Elements, Forms, Microdata, Security, Communications, Files, and Local Devices all by June? Get real.

Chances are that you would be prosecuted for sexual harassment if you did such a thing.
And the proof is the TSA handler handling my balls? Sure. Keep thinking that.
Try talking to them in a sexy voice to let them know you're getting aroused. I bet they'll back off then.

You cannot be serious about this application competing against Avid, Apple, Adobe and others, right? Final Cut X is the one to beat.

"But he added that the information is collected anonymously and the devices give users controls for disabling the location features."
Really? Where would that be? According to all accounts, there is NO way to disable the location recording/reporting.
Please return your handle. You clearly couldn't use a paper clip for holding papers together, let alone how to use your iOS device preferences.
Let's just see how they expand their cloud services and see if it wants to eat at Amazon's other ventures.
