I had trouble with time machine. It ended up being a faulty drive that i was backing up to (i.e., time machine would crap out when my backups reached 550gb of a 750gb drive).
Steve said "can i please have my phone back". As CEO of apple, it was his phone. Lam wanted Steve to publicly out it as being "Apple's" for the purposes of a scoop. Steve already claimed it was HIS. That should have been enough.
Lesson: if you are on extremely shaky legal ground, and attempt to fuck with multi-billion dollar megacorps, expect them to fuck back. Even if you are on a first name basis with the CEO.
He even got a call from Steve asking him "OK, you've had your fun, can you please give me my phone back now" after he ran an article on it (or words to that effect).
He told Steve to go jump.
Steve didn't like that.
And to be fair, if i had some property stolen, located someone who found it, and it was quite obviously mine, i'd take them to the cleaners as well.
Not really. It analyses the photo to determine the movement of the camera at time of shooting, and un-does that movement. Given enough colour resolution, i'm pretty confident that useful detail retrieval could be achieved - not just some artificial generated details to make the photo "look good".
Exactly. the best analogy i have for thunderbolt that networking guys will understand is that its like a cisco GBIC or SFP slot. You plug in an appropriate interface card/transceiver, depending on how far you want to run the cable. i.e., 1.5km run means you need a long-hall fibre GBIC interface. 10cm means you can get away with a 1000baseT interface.
And sticking with that, Cisco 10GB-E modules for the Cisco 6506Es in my rack cost over a thousand dollars each. Thunderbolt, also running at 10GB, is cheap.
You're looking to thunderbolt to solve the wrong problem. Thunderbolt isn't meant to be a cheap generic connector, and doesn't attempt to be.
Its for peripherals that won't work over USB. Its basically PCI-E on a cable.
Being able to plug in a fibre-channel HBA into my laptop via thunderbolt would be awesome. Ditto for video adapters, etc.
Looking at thunderbolt and thinking "i can plug joysticks and keyboards in via USB much cheaper!" is completely missing the point. Its not a replacement for USB.
Not necessarily. I have seen high-speed USB devices fail to work with super speed ports, and if a device actually needs the speed of super speed usb to function correctly, then no, it won't work.
Further to this, i have run into compatibility issues with buggy Superspeed USB hardware/firmware. I've actually been telling users to not use the super speed ports on various machines unless they know the device in question is usb3 compatible.
The two connectors serve different purposes, and USB of any flavour is never going to be good for what thunderbolt brings to the table.
I can run my apps on my iPhone just fine thanks - WITHOUT any risk of malicious code, with a 99 dollar dev account - which gets me code-signing ability.

That still won't give you itunes match, which is a big attraction of icloud. Fuck uploading a few tens of gb of MP3s.

But that isn't really time machine's fault.
Selling stolen goods. If it was YOUR phone i'm sure you'd be pissed.

Steve Jobs called him about it, and he told steve he wasn't going to give it back.
I meant to put in that last sentence "and refused to give it back when asked".

no IDS? no network sniffing?

Because super speed has been out for about 6 months.
So, basically what you're saying is that in a few years, thunderbolt will be ubiquitous?

No, its not the case because most machines these days have more than one USB bus.

USB latency is shithouse though.

Explains all the battery explosions a few years back...

Thank you. The "Free trade agreement" is nothing of the sort. Hence my reference to australia lubing up for it. By the way, i live here in AU.
Yes. The rest of the X architecture is cobbled together shite that needs to die and be replaced.
He tried to get HP to let him do a computer. They wouldn't buy it.
Hate to break it to you, but clang has already replaced GCC as the OS X development compiler, and FreeBSD are moving towards it as fast as possible.
The pre 4 versions are still free.
And free distribution to a few hundred million IOS users. What's your point? Its cheaper than shipping boxed copies.
