Not every problem can be solved by throwing money at it, as Murdoch has learned. Does Micro$oft have any other resources that could be applied to the problem?
Where's the future when we need it? I also hope the software for grid networks appears soon. This will help us develop a decentralized alternative to the big ISPs.
Chrome is very attractive in an environment where the user *doesn't* own the machine - the employer owns it and needs to control what the machine can do. There are many business situations where this is obviously the case. Chrome works like a firewall here.
Companies don't trust their employees and Chrome is a sandbox within a sandbox. This is a good thing in the corporate world where centralized control is valuable.
then it wouldn't work. (No, they wouldn't have to kill you.)
Almost by definition, they have to keep the details secret. It sounds as though they verified the results empirically and didn't find false positives, but that's all we've got to go on.
I heard Mandelbrot talk at IBM a few years ago. He was concerned about the increase in volatility of the financial markets - this was before 2008 - and I wonder what his last thoughts were on the subject of economics.
My prediction: when the $100 barrier is broken and laptops are in the supermarkets, the impact of this on the internet will be comparable to that of AOL.
The tech jobs market in Boston does feel less dead now than it did for most of 2009. I entered the job market in April and it was six months before I had an interview. Now I've had three in three months. It's tricky to extrapolate from those data points to locate a job offer but it does give me hope.
I cannot wait to see, try, and then buy the Google Phone. I hope that the rumors are true.
What I would like even more would be the Google counterpart to the iPod Touch: the Android palmtop computer without the phone (but with the camera, please).

I prefer the old idea of dropping millions of hardbound copies of Naked Lunch. More enlightening. Better fuel.
This is what they deserve. They took their chances.

You are not the only one who thought that.
I hope Gene Sharp is on the list. He wrote the book that many followed to revolution: http://www.aeinstein.org/

Does no one here know German? Shame on you.
oh, grow up! What a waste of a frist psot.
I can breathe!

Chrome is a very thin client that really works.

Miami's loss was Minneapolis' gain.
an attractive USB device could host something undesirable. Smart clients won't touch them.

Whatever will we do with ourselves?

Roger Ebert recently wrote about his life after surgery. He can no longer take anything by mouth. I can't imagine life without taste, but he lives it.
Does this mean I'll get a job this year?

As far as I know, nobody has an email address at the "ibm.com" domain because IBM Corp. doesn't do email that way!
All IBM email addresses use subdomains, like us.ibm.com for the USofA.
I got one of these from a hijacked Yahoo! mail account. This isn't limited to HotMail.
