While this is a nice idea for urban areas, the majority of the US is still rural. There are places where people probably never in their lives have to "back into a parking place." Why are we going to force them to pay for this technology that they do not need and do not want?
You have to have an Apple ID, yes. That, however, does not have any public reflection. It's just an account, used for things like the iPhone app store. You can make several ID's and use different ones for different purposes. You do not need to have a me.com email address, a Ping account, or turn on iCloud.
And Solaris LDOMs are far different than the old E10K partitions as well. LDOMs (Logical Domains, though I think in Solaris 11 they renamed it from in Solaris 10) are very much LPAR-like. You also get something like the AIX VIO server in that you give the hardware to a "controller" LDOM and then it can either use it directly or virtualize it out to other LDOMs. It actually isn't the most pleasant thing to configure, but once set up works well.
The only thing is that it's not really useful on the smaller systems, certainly I wouldn't want to partition a T-series using a heavyweight technology like this. But for the huge M-class servers, it's pretty decent.
Given that Zones can have:
different login identities
different network interfaces
different hostnames
different hardware available to them (disks, adapters, etc.)
be configured to use resource pools thus different amounts of cpu, floating or fixed
Yes, I'd say they are much more useful than chroot.
Yes, god forbid actors make less than the absurd millions they currently earn for less, easier work than some people do every day.
If Hollywood salaries were on par with the rest of the country, that would trickle down through the cost of the movies, and people could more easily afford to go out to the theatre, buy DVD's, etc.
While I don't doubt that there are hackable vulnerabilities in these systems, I'll bet you a donut that the cited incident of all the doors on death row opening was human error, or even a bug in the software, and not a hacking attempt.
Yes, and the Android model sucks. I have to either grant the app all the permissions it asks for, or refuse to install it. There's no way to say "yes, install it, but don't let it access my address book."
Reminds me of a recent news story of a guy whose SUV/pickup truck got stuck in cruise control and NOTHING worked, and a cop had to pull in front of him and stop him with his brakes.
And why couldn't that guy just, oh, put it in neutral or turn the key off? Seriously, he said, "I tried the gear shift, the keys, emergency brake. I tried everything and none of it worked." How does none of that work in a 2001 Ford Expedition?
People aren't putting "all sorts of sensitive information on their phone." Their phones are connected to the outside world. Take for example the iPhone email application. Should, if you are arrested, the police be able to search through *ALL* of your email via the phone? How about visit any websites you might have failed to logout from? This data is not "on" your phone, per se, but the phone is a portal through which the data can be obtained. And some data might even be cached unbeknownst to the device owner. Where is the limit? Where is the legal line?
They may or may not be responding to their customer base, but I think they're more afraid of Amazon, who have been increasing their available online content, streaming as well as purchases. The Kindle Fire announcement marked Amazon as a big player in the online media world, and I'll bet suddenly Netflix realized they were the third wheel next to Amazon and Apple.
So my reading of it says that a teleconference is NOT the same. If you have a real image of the person on the other side of the communication, that's not the "virtual reality emulating real-life activities" in the patent.
Popularity vote of what? I see h.264 implemented in software and even hardware all over the place, ranging from my TiVo to even my point-and-shoot camera. I'm fairly certain I've never even heard of WebM before today.
IMHO Android would have been a non-starter if the iPhone had been available to all carriers (GSM & CDMA both) and not restricted to AT&T. A lot of people (myself included) passed on iPhones for the sole reason of refusing to use AT&T.
Android currently suffers from too much product fracture. Too many different customer experiences based on vendor customization, and so much different hardware it's hard for developers to test everything, as well as hard to use newer, better APIs because older OS versions, whose updates are controlled by the carriers and may or may not happen, don't have them.
On some websites, presumably due to poor coding on the part of the Flash applet developer, a storage amount of 0 will simply cause the Flash applet to fail. This is the experience I had when I tried this a year or two ago.
I love how many people argue that the Apple lock-in is what makes them prefer Android over iOS. Ever try to use an Android phone without a GMail account? A Droid from Verizon will not even activate without one.
I would much prefer to be locked to my own Mac (Mobile Me is not mandatory) in my own home, than forced to use Google services.
Unless I want to use third-party email, calendar, and contact list applications, which likely don't integrate with the OS, vary in quality, and often are a general pain in the port to use.
I find this lawsuit particulary funny simply because their offices in Burlington, MA, are next to each other on the same street, Van De Graaff Drive, which is basically just the driveway for those buildings. You easily hit a golfball from one to the other. I wonder if they make dirty faces at each other?
(Sun's up a different road, at least a half-dozen par 5's away.)
You need Whispernet because if you look closely, you'll see that this "game" runs in the web browser. That's right, it's just a website that has a display layout for the Kindle. You can point any web browser to their site and play Zork.

I can't see a 3-year-old sitting less than a foot directly in FRONT of the vehicle, either.

Thx for the clarification.
How is this an untethered jailbreak when step 4 is to connect via USB cable?
And why is the web server running as root?
it is highly secure as the code is analyzed before executing to make sure it won't do anything macilious.
That's not highly secure. That's a challenge.

Zones have been around in Solaris 10 for years. They're very nice, btw.

Get a modern manual transmission that has a hill-holder clutch.

You mean once Amazon ships the Kindle Fire, where Android is just the invisible underlayer.
