There is another Honeycomb tablet that is somewhat more reasonably priced, the Acer Iconia A500. It's only $450, which is 50 less than the iPad.
Unfortunately, Acer has a pitiful PR department. Have you heard any news about it? Neither have I. I only know about it because of some little blurb in a Best Buy ad.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I don't know why this particular event is getting so much attention.
That said, one of the things that's exciting about this is that they are detecting it at higher energies than were expected by the Standard Model, which would mean that a few laws of physics might have to be rewritten. I love it when that happens. It's so boring when everything just falls into place where expected.
Oh, by the way, the new season of Doctor Who. There was something I wanted to mention about it. I just can't remember what it was. It's like on the tip of my tongue.
Firstly, let's be clear, I want the people stealing the information caught, and locked up. They are criminals.
The business should be fined though if they did nothing to protect their information. This is like leaving a toddler at home alone all day (though not to the same degree.)
Actually, he's going to become addicted to electricity and philosophize about how to kill all humans, and forget that he's supposed to pick up his little brother, MicroSkynet, from school.
I remember Starbridge, and their audacious claims, and this company sounds like it's trying to accomplish something similar, but aren't being as audacious with their claims.
I do look forward to software reconfigurable hardware, but that does mean it brings a whole new meaning to the word "bricking."
For anyone worried about how they look naked, stop worrying. Most of the people at nudist colonies are pretty average (well, actually, usually a little older). Go walk around naked in your own house once in a while, and get more comfortable in your own skin. It's a good thing to do from time to time.
Have you ever been to a nudist colony? It's not as sexy as you may imagine. They're mostly old, retired people. Even if you are a little pudgy, I don't think they'll care.
I've never seen a company that uses Firefox. I agree, it is better, but from what I understand (I don't work in IT), it's difficult to deploy on a company wide basis. I believe Chrome has setup some infrastructure to make that easier by creating an MSI package for it, but that hasn't been done for Firefox yet.
Also, the other issue is that there are so many tools that companies have developed and/or bought that have only been tested in IE6, and they're hesitant to make the switch, or even upgrade for that matter. If you can convince them that the upgrade or switch will be no big deal, then I'm sure they'd switch in a hurry.
The problem is companies that don't want to upgrade because they built so many web tools they know works on IE6, but are less certain about working on anything newer. If MS would target them, they would see the usage rate drop like a stone. My own work place is no different.
Because, while, yes, it has been solved, as mentioned above, quite brilliantly, it's not perfect, and it would be unfair for some OCR system to give Watson the wrong answer, and end up leaving Watson hanging.
Something to hide? OCR, while not perfect, and certainly interesting, wasn't the core problem that IBM was trying to solve. Wondering about why they didn't use a camera with OCR for something like this is like putting together a puzzle, and saying that doing it on the floor instead of the table made the puzzle easier.
I don't think that transmitting the clues at a slower speed would help the humans at all. Champion Jeopardy players finish reading the answer before Trebec is done reading, and will typically have the answer by the time they can buzz in. In fact, I do this myself too. Of course, I don't know any of the questions, but that's besides the point.
Haven't you ever watched someone watch this show and question answers while Trebec is reading?
Yes, it is a little scary to think that the military might use this opportunity to take control, but I think there are a few reasons we don't need to worry about that.
1. The military is nearly all conscripts. When Mubarak asked the military to push back the protesters, the soldiers instead participated. I'm willing to trust that they are on the side of the people in this case. 2. The US will never stand for the military taking power, and at $1.3 billion per year, I think the military will listen.
For right now, I think we are just going to have to trust that the military is going to help foster Egypt's transition to democracy because there isn't anyone else that has the capability.
She was the only good thing about the show. Everything else I could care less about. It could turn into yet another plain crime drama with just Dunham, and I'd watch it.
Yeah, I've seen Ubuntu on a number of tablets for years now, and it's always someone installing it over something that's already there, but that' not really the point of this article, is it? It's that Ubuntu comes preinstalled, and fully supported. Now that's something different.

And yes, they are truly beautiful animations.

Even in the new series, she was awesome. She'll be sorely missed.
Neil Gaiman tweeted about this video, and it seems apropos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1QgCx1CIaQ&feature=youtu.be

There's already the Zoom plugin. I would imagine that someone should be able to modify it to perform a similar operation.

Bare skin on pleather is just no fun. As long as their chairs have either nice fabric coverings, I'm game.
and of course is little use if you are doing Android development.
I wouldn't say that.
We should free ourselves of the tyranny of Pi, and celebrate Tau.

That's the most hilarious thing I've read in a while!

That puts her on par with those teenagers that post public pictures of themselves french-kissing a shoe while drunk.
I disagree. It puts her on a lower level because she's an adult. She should know better.

Obama isn't a hypocrite. He's a spineless weasel. There is a difference.
You do realize that Hulu and Amazon VOD work on Linux with DRM, right? It's not at as though DRM can't work on Linux.
