You simultaneous ask what's with all the hate, then indicate that you use an Android phone now. It's people like your very own self, people that used to love their BB's that now don't that is causing their implosion. A real one, that the "haters" are reporting on, accurately.
Is RIM supposed to make money for eternity based on what people like you "used" to love? What kind of economic model is that? If people *exactly* like you stuck with their BB's there would be no financial collapse and nothing to report on.
The money that customers virtually paid your employer with a credit card, that was then virtually direct deposited to your bank account, that you will then use to pay your ISP for internet with by automatic monthly deduction, that they will direct deposit in their employees bank accounts...
That may be the least interesting teaser trailer for a Pixar movie by far.
1/2 setup of a bee, then a weak joke, followed by some not-that-imperssive cgi nascar, where nothing really happens, then one more flat joke and out.
I don't know who they are "teasing" here, but what about this trailier would make anyone excited about this movie? (contrast to other pixar teasers, which are either funny, or exciting, or well, something)
...when they have to make a plastic, artifical version of it that is battery powered and so far removed from the orignial.
What's next, a plastic, battery powered BigMacBall, that you put to your face, and squeeze, releasing a rush of special sauce scented air into your face?
I, for one, don't want to see two people who have no chance of becoming president gumming up the debate between to people that do.
I would rather see Bush and Kerry's smartest advisor's debate than two people of no consequence getting in the way of helping analyze the real cantidates.
The funny things is, Sony is so huge and monolithic, this decision probably WAS made in 1999 -- it just took 5 years to get through the meetings and memos down to the public.
I help maintain about 90 XP machines, and reboots like this just don't have to happen that often.
If these numbers are accurate (my experience says that 12% is wildly, wildly exaggerated) then somewhere out there are a whole bunch of horribly maintained machines rebooting 100% of the sessions.
The PC I am on right now has been running this image of XP over a year, and I can't think of a single time I have had to restart it.
Looking at that signal that we are broadcasting to the ET's, they are going to get it and think we are a race of sentient Atari game character, and wonder one thing:
Do they know about the magnet? Can they get the chalice across walls?
I agree with net and web, but disagree with Internet.
It's the sum total of all networks interacting and deserves to be recognized as an entity as important as a state, country or international organization, like the UN.
At least an inbox full of VM's doesnt interrupt your dinner, or make you come running in from mowing the lawn to be told your windows could be more energy efficient.
OTOH, Unsolicited anything is the suck. Hey Seller-of-Things, guess what, I have PLENTY of ways to get in touch with you if I want something. Thanks.
You have to be pretty out of touch to think that anything Mozilla does threatens Microsoft's Amazing-Money-Making-Machine very much.
Besides, a threat has to have a consequence. What's the consequence here, that people will use Mozilla for a while, until Microsoft incorporates every single one of its positive features into IE?
This is just another instance of the Microsoft Pattern, every single good feature of Mozilla will just be incorporated into IE, and there goes that.
20 Hours of Matrix footage + 4 hours of sleep a day would work out to a pretty nice punishment for murderers.
Of course, the Trinity death scene would be removed due to 8th amendment considerations.

Letter from the Bizzaro Universe:
Dear Real,
Thanks for the 14-day Free Trial of your player. I think its really neat you have a free trial of the player I thought was FREE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I was more than happy to pay you a monthly fee, when most content sounds and looks great with the player built into my OS.
And the ads! Oh, how I love the pop ups, the pop unders, the pop overs and the pop music!
I find sometimes I get lonely, and wish that that RealOne omni-present icon would spew more wonderful OFFERS at me. It like the way RealOne is always there, even during the 99.9% of the time I am not watching content with your protocol. It lets me know I am safe.
Do you think it would be possible to hide the free, convenient player even deeper? I can't imagine life without the offers any more.
Enclosed is my personal information, a blood and stool sample, and some DNA, because I think the spyware you install on my pc so I can watch one video a month might not have caught that.
Thanks, and keep the offers coming, dammit I love the offers.
I am dissapointed about this, as it was my favorite scene from the LOTR.
I enjoyed how it shows Gandalf's new level of power. He really asserts himself with such authority.
The way he calls, and Saruman is compelled to comply, is a goosebump moment that moviegoers are going to miss.

Stage One of Going Down the Toilet: Split yourself into groups of N, and give each sub-company a new name. That way no one knows who the hell they are dealing with.
Frequently employed when a company's market share or mind share begins to slip, in an irrational attempt to reverse said slipping.

How real is the money in your bank account?
The money that customers virtually paid your employer with a credit card, that was then virtually direct deposited to your bank account, that you will then use to pay your ISP for internet with by automatic monthly deduction, that they will direct deposit in their employees bank accounts...
How real is money really in a system like this?
is to horrible to fathom.
Could Google be building the PERPENDICULAR Internet?
If so, it would run crossways to everything the human race stands for.
We can't, we musnt'nt allow this to happen.
Less TV... hurts... them?
It's about the time-shifting, not some guy narrating Warhammer games in his basement.
I wasnt to do what I do with my PVR, and listen to high quality radio on my time and terms.
So, you are advocating a stragety that all but guarentees them at best their current "me-too" also-ran status to the big two?
"FCC is also soliciting comments about the possibility of lifting the in-flight ban on cellphone use"
How fast can you say VoIP? Hell, get teamspeak going on a freaking headset, screw waiting on them to allow phone calls in 2040.
I hate the Late Night traffic syndrome, where you are parked at a red light and no one is coming the other way.
It's 2005 (almost), in these obvious situations the lights/sensor array should just let you through.

How much bandwith does that leave for the pr0n stream?
Sept 2 should be a national holiday.
What are you getting for Internet Day?
Why a new Cisco 7x00 series router!
Thank you Linus Claus!
Dear God,
Please, pretty, pretty please, don't ever make me go back to Dialup.
If necessary, you can take any limbs of your choosing, just please leave a mouse hand and at least one eye.
Thanks.

Oh, but its a very, very small threat.

I thought this was a really cool article, then I realized its not 1998.
Does Palm have any kind of momentum at all anymore?
