Maybe good for TI, but not sure about other companies/products that depend on the OMAP. Amazon after all has not yet demonstrated they are a good R&D/chipset company. It's also (not yet) one of their core businesses. Unless you're developing a one-off product with not too much plans for future evolution, would you develop it based on a chipset that has an unknown future? Will Kindle requirements become the main driving force of future OMAP updates?
Amazon has the money to take a snapshot of the OMAP design now, but do they have the drive to continue to invest R&D to make future revisions (OMAP5/6/7/8) that others depending on OMAP may want? Will the current state be the technological peak of OMAP?
From TRU's website: "Over 6,000 free downloadable apps available in the Tabeo Store"
Google search for "Tabeo Store" and most results are not kids friendly at all!
As for the tablet itself, it would be quite useful if their app store is already optimized for kids app and their bundled apps are full versions of fun and education apps.
How can TSA help with cyber attacks/hacker issues on railroads. Are they going after railroad workers and IT staffs to make sure they follow security protocols; then station TSA staffs at train control room doors?
This is in terms of application developer. The x86 for Android is much faster than the one with ARM emulation, but is the ARM emulation speed that much of a hinder for usual development?
What about the actual application usage by end-users? Will the x86 Android phone come with an ARM emulator to run applications that has native ARM libraries (at least until there are enough generic or x86-specific Android apps)?
Unless the OS level it comes with is buggy or lacking some features that one is let to believe it'll be fixed because Android is so open... but then again, some of the official OS updates for older Android devices are half-baked...
Even if you move up to Gingerbread, some official releases (e.g. HTC EVO 4G) still doesn't have the up-to-date version of it that supports Google Talk video chat.
If only they started this versioning convention before FF gained popularity with people/companies coding based on it, this wouldn't have been a problem.
Google search results are driving me crazy sometimes. Not sure if it's Google's through or "article duplicator" sites. Search for recent tech articles (e.g. specific CES product details) and it just comes back with many hits of the exact same article duplicated by many not-so-legit looking websites. I wish they have a "site blacklist" user feature where I can tell it to not bother returning results from that site ever again.
A few months/a year back, there were those *.info domains search hits too. Some sort of dynamic page generation that aggregates pieces of paragraphs with the search term. The whole article seems randomly composed, taking sentences from unrelated articles and mixing them up so that it "looks" complete... until you start reading through it and figured it doesn't make sense...
Google, please give me an "unlike"/"thumbs down" button for your search results, so that these junk site can forever disappear from my search radar... Equivalent to "Adblock" like or an option to "prompt for cookies" so I can manually get rid of it!
Results on specific tech question searches on the other hand are pretty good (e.g. gcc issues, etc.)...
Do you think any civil engineers with a degree can just walk to any construction site and get full compliance from the site people to give them anything they need to analyze whether their design, construction, etc. are safe?
No, it's only too lax on the part about connecting a personal computer to their network. IMO, it should be prohibited even if you encrypt the whole hd.
For web email access requiring total hd encryption on the client machine; that's unreasonable. If they go through that step, mind as well disable web access altogether.
This seems like a brute force approach to encryption/patient privacy concerns. It has no affect on actual network security.
I have an nVidia 680i board and now a 780i board. I got it for fancy features at the time, but don't overclock.
I'm not sure how Intel chipsets are right now, but to me it seems like nVidia boards (mostly all reference boards) are cutting things too close. E.g. 4 SIMMS in slot and the voltage drops? What kind of design is that?
I have friends in HK (Asia) that told me it is quite easy to get the official (Japanese) version of Wii there. It's also fairly easy to get the North American version although it costs more.
Maybe they have the wrong stock allocation or that NA ppl are cleaning out their inventory much quicker? I don't know.
Your father is in a rather unfortunate scenario; but I don't think that's what Bill is trying to say. His issue is getting people into the country, not in recognizing their talents/certifications once they are here. With the latter case, the restriction is normally imposed by the industry and not by the country.
The issue is if you're looking for these HDTV tuners in retail outlets. They're hard to find, costs $200 (Samsung's new 260F)... and the real deal breaker is that even $500 TV's have these built-in.
Unless you have a very high-end TV that you don't want to replace any time soon and you have specific, free HD channels in your area that you want to tune to, why?
Going used is a different story though, and you'll find a lot of these things on ebay.
Not sure if I'm rational, but I'll not pick 360 as a substitution of PS3.
There are games on PS that I want to play. Getting Wii in the meantime will give me a cheap(er) console and a different type of game play; getting a PS3 in the future will complement the Wii. The current PS3 manufacturing delays will let me wait it out while playing the Wii.
If I get a 360, then it's like paying for a PS3 but not getting those games; too many overlaps. IMO, if Microsoft really wants to take the PS3 market share, they should push the idea that waiting for the PS3 (games) is not worth it by having very good game lineups themselves.

If they can make it last longer than 6 minutes to fly over the cliff.

It was horrible at the top. The space used in the URL box for that was way too short for screening the link before clicking on it...

Now open that up to let anyone walk in...
Nintendo's issue with the Wii is really more of a user error.
Apple's iPhone 4 issue is truly a design flaw with it's primary designed function when the user used the phone properly as intended.

At least there is a higher chance of normal/unarmed passengers taking back control if the captors do not have superior weapons.
Or when they have a real job. Asking others for help doesn't always mean asking others to do the job for you.
When I was in school, there are individual assignments and group projects.
Do it quicker this time; else you'll need to develop an emergency robot-eater-eater plan.
At the end, it still comes with and runs a version of Vista.
There are true marketing scams, but IMO, this is not one of them.

Same here but on XP. At the end I gave up and downloaded the full installer directly from the site.
