A companies mission statement rarely has anything to do with their actual business practices. From my perspective, Harvards exists to make rich people richer and has little, if anything, to do with education or furthering science.
"being one of the very best schools" based on what metric? How are you comparing Harvard to ITT? The arbitrarily assigned grade point averages of the students that attend? The amount of money the parents of the students that attend donate to the school? The jobs they get with their degrees at companies with extremely biased managers?
A tiny group of indviduals make emense gains from the status and continued oporation of Harvard. It isn't fair to call an orginization that pays their empoloyees well over market rate a non-profit. Harvard falls into this category. It's official tax status may be non-profit, but idealogically speaking, it definitly is for-profit.
That's not true. The OS install disks contain drivers for all models that came out before the disk was made. Maybe you are confusing the Restore CD for the Install CD, which the Restore CD contains a disk image which WOULD only have drivers for that model.
Correct, you can't take your old disk and put it in a new machine and expect drivers to magically appear on the CD.
Otherwise, the install disks work on any machine that was around when the disk was pressed.
Of all the editors I would use for mission critical editing, Notepad would be at or near the top. It's fundamental simplicity adds to it's reliability. It no bells and whistles to get in the way of it's core purpose editing text and then saving it. It's extremely reliable, on every Windows system, and is likely the most well tested text editor in terms of both test coverage and duration of time tested.
Sirius' web site doesn't seem to be working in Safari, but works in FireFox on my Mac.
After inspection, their a la carte package is 50 channels. I don't think they understand what a la carte means.
If customers were already paying a ABC channels, I hope Cablevision reduces the bills for all of their subscribers, otherwise it's going to be even more clear to their customers that Cablevision is screwing them over.
Most error messages can be dealt with programatically on the developer's side. If a file isn't found, maybe the program should try to find it. If there's a required text box, indicate so on the text box instead of alerting the user when they click the okay button, maybe even making the okay button disabled until text has been entered and (this is important) including a tool tip on the okay button indicating why it is disabled.
I've clicked past many dialog boxes without reading them and wished that I could 'undo' or 'go back' to see what they said again.
Try to replace the dialog with a better method of informing the user.
I think you're comparing to a poorly written Java application instead of a good Java application or Java itself.
Applications can hang and crash in any language.
Syncing my Sony Ericsson w810i takes about 3 to 20 seconds over bluetooth depending on how much data has changed, granted I only sync contacts and address book entries, it's all I really want my phone to do.
It also makes a nice bluetooth memory stick reader for when I forget my card reader and want to pull some pictures off my card.
Just stating a fact.
If IE6 auto installed or made it super easy to install IE7, or IE7 to IE8, no single version of Firefox would be at the top. If you count the last two version of either, or all versions of either, IE would be at the top hands down.
I think auto updating is nice, but some people wouldn't like it. If IE had it, IE7 would be at the top. It still wouldn't be a better browser. IE sucks =/

Looks like this is in accordance with Apple's service manuals from many years ago: http://www.cybercoment.com/Pictures/news/february17th2007f.jpg
You can't install APK files on carrier locked phones which are quite common.
Facebook makes money from ads on their website, but their mobile site and mobile apps don't have ads.
PCIx, not to be confused with PCI-X or PCI Express (PCIe or PCI-E).
It shows how dedicated they are to increasing download and install count.

Due to scamming? What an accomplishment.

Sounds like a good poll question. Do you type with the 'correct' way?

Only the kid from Sweden broke the DRM weeks before launch

If hardware is required to have related patents listed on the product, shouldn't software need these markings? What a mess that would spell.
Not if they send a postcard.

This is pretty expensive. $1,000 a life. How much does clean water cost? It has to be less than this.

The whole company of Stardock? Are you running Microsoft?
E-paper: the ultimate in gaming display technology. What's the refresh rate on those, 1hz?
JetPack will drastically lower the learning curve which will result it even more extensions of even more questionable quality.
They aren't as easy or as quick as FireFox.
