I make a very good living but I'd get KILLED by my sig other, litterally, if I went and spent $600
Out of concern for your personal safety, I sincerely hope you are one of those annoying people that doesn't know "literally" means the opposite of "figuratively".
Sony will charge high prices for the initial release of the PS3 and they will sell them as fast as they can make them.
In fact this pricing strategy dovetails nicely with the rumors of production problems Sony is facing with the PS3. If they aren't going to be able to make enough PS3's to meet demand, it makes good sense to get top dollar for the ones they CAN make. Why should Sony sell the initial batch of PS3's for $400 only to see them all resell on ebay for $600+ ?
Does Intel even know what "Viiv" is supposed to be? It is actually supposed to *be* anything?
Think of Viiv as "Son of Centrino"; it is a brand, a sticker, that an OEM can slap on their boxes if they buy a bundle of components from Intel instead of just the processor. This worked very well with the Centrino campaign, it effectively coerced OEMs to buy an overpriced wireless chipset from Intel to go with every Pentium M they wanted. Otherwise their laptops couldn't be "Centrino" laptops, and Joe Sixpack knows that Centrino laptops are the bestest, cuz it said so on the Tee Vee.
Intel isn't much of a technology company anymore, but they are a very cunning and capable marketing operation.
Sure, but the point isn't just that Dell's growth rate has subsided. It's that their growth rate is lagging the overall growth rate of the PC market. In other words, they are *losing* market share, not just failing to gain more market share.
Thank you. The submitter somehow forgot to include the European price of the PS3 in his article summary about the unveiling of the European price of the PS3. Incompetence, or a devious plot to get Slashdotters to actually RTFA before posting?
What are you talking about? Blattella Germanica totally deserves both capital letters!! It's the best science fiction show since Babylon 5, even if they did make Starbuck a girl!!
All you Naderites/libertarians who claim there's no difference between the Democrats and Republicans, please STFU. THIS is the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.
One way we could slow this down is to ban the use of anti-biotics in feed for livestock.
I would prefer we got rid of all those stupid anti-bacterial dish soaps and hand soaps. Antibacterial soap is redundant, it's already SOAP for chrissake, and it contributes to exactly the situation described by the grandparent post.
They found anomolies in 40 machines? How many machines were there in total?
If your goal was to rig an election, would you screw with most or even all of the voting machines, thus maximizing your chances of getting caught, or would you rig the minimum number of machines necessary to achieve your goal?
Here's what I heard when I read your post: "Just hop on one foot while touching your nose and juggling these flaming torches and you can move music off of your iPod easy!"
I love my Nano, I really do, and iTunes is mostly a great program. But let's not kid ourselves or become Apple apologists here. It isn't like this is a hard-to-implement feature or Apple accidentally forgot to include it. They deliberately set up roadblocks in iTunes and the iPod file system in order to make it difficult to move songs from iPods to computers. Let's call a spade a spade, and crippleware crippleware.
That's fine if you only have one computer in your house, and don't have one at work, and don't have any friends that you might want to share music with. For the rest of us, being able to move songs to a computer from our iPods would be very handy.

Can we get these genes into beer? It would make my Sunday mornings so much more pleasant.

Don't forget to have a second helping half an hour later.
So that's the secret method of transferring the immunity to humans! I think I'll take the cancer...
Right, just like Nintendo dominates the current generation of consoles by pricing the GameCube below the competition.

Why are you looking at me like that?
A rename to Office 2008.
Viiv isn't an actual product or technology, it's just a marketing scheme. It's a new brand name for things that already exist, a la "Centrino".

It's even worse than that. This isn't a brand new processor, it's a future processor that they hope to have out in 6 months.
You're thinking of the bearded clam.
Interpreting literally writings that were meant as allegory and metaphor.
An article summary that summarized the article. Like, for instance, how did they compare?

Yeah, I know. I wasn't nitpicking, just karma whoring. What, "+1 Funny" mods don't affect karma!?!
The other side of their flag says 'And we ar bad spellurs two!'

No, that extra 1% was Diebold.
The Washington Post published one that, while not exactly what you're requesting, is in the same gist:
