I'm afraid you're right. I am very curious to how Apple will be doing in 5 years from now. That is what makes tech interesting: the stuff itself is fun but the policies and doings of the companies that make it are even more fun to watch.
LOL, I haven't smeared myself with feces yet but I do like my Apple stuff. Then again, I think Apple is behaving like a little kid with their lawsuits against Samsung.
You're right, let's stop. It was fun while it lasted but it gets no-one anywhere. But I don't know if you hate your government more than I hate mine, the Dutch government;). I guess it's normal to find your government one of the worst in the world. Anyway, Europe and America are still two of the best places to live in on this planet, so we don't have it really bad.
But then again, European politics haven't come up with atrocities like software patents, SOPA and the DMCA either. In other words, I have proof for my claim and you don't have proof for yours. I think the institution of laws like the DMCA and SOPA (which hopefully doesn't happen), which have absolutely nothing to do with liberty and frredom for all but big corporations, is a sign of a level of corruption that even the Nigerian 'government' (which is basically Shell) can only look at in envy.
What Greece and Itily do is NOT European politics. But I don't blame you for not knowing how European politics works; even Europe's politicians seem to not know how it works. And we're in this big political crisis in which European politics is in the process of being reformed too. These are difficult times.
That corruption is illegal in Europe doesn't mean it doesn't occur. I never said it doesn't. You just don't like to hear the truth. Look at your politicians. They all are owned by the companies who paid loads of money to get them their positions. If that is not legalized corruption I don't know what is.
Oh yes, like fining Google for a few 100 million will solve our crisis. Get real. Unlike in the US, corruption is illegal in Europe, and so misusing monopolies is punished like it should be. And companies are obliged to operate by the prevailing laws. That Google is an American company has nothing to do with it. A few months ago a cartel of European manufacturers of elevators was fined almost one billion euros, but since elevators are not as 'visible' as Google you don't know about that.
Four years from now nobody will buy an iPad 2 because they're not sold anymore. The C=64 sold steadily, unchanged, for 5 years, which was a long time even then. And that was in a time when many people didn't even know why you should have a computer in your home.
Yes, it could hardly do any better than it did. It sold very well for five years if I remember correctly. No electronic product launched today can match that.
I had an N900. Never again. I'm quite fed up with open source software that just doesn't work right, and the lack of choice, and I could go on for quite a while. I've had it with open source software.
I don't know. If someone 'accidentally' spills a cup of 'coffee' containing the virus described here at a busy airport or train station, the results are probably more spectacular than those of any nuclear attack.

Loving anything too much makes you stupid.

I love reading about new, interesting species. Let's hope for the crabs that they have no commercial value...
I take it you are American.

Face it: Information is meant to be public.
So you don't mind that Carrier IQ tracks your every move and you give your passwords to everybody who wants to know them?

The title is confusing. Expertise is not a science. You (hopefully) get expertise when you do research, as the article explains.

That's why it's handy to have a government that actually cares about its citizens, like we have in Europe.
Even if he/she didn't, his/her ISP knows he/she posted that.
Brilliant. Thank you.
But that doesn't mean that all Muslims are homophobics.
But maybe they are more sensitive to changing magntic fields than to stationary fields.
And we pack ourselves into our offices too. And in the bus and train to work.

Here in the Netherlands it's very hard to not make that jump, thanks to Geert Wilders' neurolinguistic programming.
Don't say that to a terrorist. Their god is better.
So programming and math have logic in common. But that doesn't mean you need math to be able to program a computer.
Actually it's a lot faster. But still not worth the upgrade in my opinion.
