So far it seems to be more of a "standard" than the Android platform, iPhone compatibility being key as an app can be rolled out to millions of people at once. But it's still early in the game.
Sokal, a professor of physics at New York University, submitted a paper for publication in Social Text, as an experiment to see if a journal in that field would, in Sokal's words: "publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions."
These companies don't seem to get it. You can't just slap OS X on generic parts and call it the same as Apple. With Apple you're also paying for support, for prestige, for lots of intangibles that people value.
A generic top-level domain (gTLD) is one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use on the Internet.
Overall, IANA currently distinguishes the following groups of top-level domains:
True AI is a hard problem. The restrictions that are in place in a game make it so that you're no longer producing intelligence, just producing a "trained pigeon" effect. Bots don't have the full range of actions and freedom available to them. Hell, the PLAYER doesn't have the full range of freedom, not even close.
Nobel wanted to direct attention away from his role as an armaments manufacturer and the inventor of dynamite, so he came up with the prize. The prize hasn't exactly got a squeaky-clean image even from the beginning.
I downloaded and have been playing the 21-day trial of EVE Online via Steam. Haven't noticed any problems. The download saturated my 7 mb/s pipe. Steam stays out of the way when I play the game. Prices are good, better than average I find.
I get the intellectual argument against DRM, but in this case, I don't care enough to be concerned.
DVDs with some of the newer copy protection schemes are a pain, since I can't back them up to my external HDD as easily. But that's a tangible effect. With Steam, I just don't see one.
is that they are all low-res. I don't think I've heard of any that are above 1024x768, and even that's considered high for those. They're gimmicks. I think they're just too bulky still. People don't want to have to put something on their faces.
Really? Why don't they use the bookmark toolbar?
Maybe I'm overestimating the capabilities of the average user, and most people don't customize the browser enough to even add a bookmark?
This site isn't so bad. Reddit on the other hand is terrible. You can say something that's 100% true, and if the herd/mob mentality doesn't like what you're saying, you get modded into oblivion.
Chrome has a nice dark blue titlebar to indicate private browsing. With Firefox 3.1b2, it's difficult to tell which mode I'm in without opening a menu or reading the window bar.
Also, it doesn't save state well. I was typing this reply, activated private mode, then de-activated it. It dumped me back to the right page, but all my form data was missing.
Needs work.

Jeez, could we get a few more acronyms and buzzwords in this summary please?
Let me just say, bahahahahahahahaha.

Work at work? You must be new here.
But seriously. Most modern white collar jobs have downtime.

Overall, IANA currently distinguishes the following groups of top-level domains:

* sponsored top-level domains (sTLD)
* generic top-level domains (gTLD)
* generic-restricted top-level domains
BIOS updates? I'd hate to have bought a board and then not be able to patch a bug in it.

How about like, you know, networking with people in real life? There's too much virtual interaction as it is. I say as I type a comment on a website.
Interesting. That is how artificial diamonds are formed too... vapor forming around a diamond seed in a vacuum chamber.
Compared to what? Going open source would save even more money, no? Maybe submarine apps don't run on Linux. We need someone to code GNU Nuke Reactor.
...reportedly spinning and expanding by a factor of 50 as he realizes he shouldn't have called it a blunder. :-)
Much of the new output was aimed at Microsoft's Windows Vista
:-)
So you're telling me Vista is actually good for something, stimulating an industry?
...the recent jet crash in San Diego. That was really tragic.
Ah yes, the distant cousin of Santa Clausa.

...usually like to release DRM-free, or even free, period (Radiohead, NIN. etc.). With certain exceptions *cough*Metallica*cough*.

It doesn't, and won't for some time. That would be a major architectural change. It's not a simple thing that will be in a point release.
