Personally, I don't care. Ever since I learned that BBC announced the collapse of WTC7 before it actually happened, I knew they work in collusion with the media police at the highest levels. UK is one step ahead of the US, just look at the ridiculous number of cctvs, it like they have taken it upon themselves to make the stuff in"1984" a reality.
They don't make sci-fi like they used to any more. You remember carnage that was Terminator Salvation? The fact that they could release a movie that would diminish and undermine the entire Terminator franchise shows you where sci-fi is going. They are trying to make sci-fi more accessible to the masses in order to make more money. They don't care a shit if you like it. I don't think they even bother to render realistic CGI/Graphics anymore- Certain graphics in Terminator Salvation are so appalling it's amazing those scenes got into the promos. It's like watching a slide show that was not rendered in the correct FPS. And if the only spoken words in the trailer are of the amazing intellectual that is the statement "This is great." what the fuck are you expecting. I was watching Matrix Reloaded last night and I realized that they probably won't make movies like that again. In my opinion the last great sci-fi work of the current gen was TSCC, which they terminated..
Did anyone notice how filthy the piece in the link is. It seems as if someone rubbed it on an oily pig before taking the pics.
And the original post is obviously a promotional thing by one of Nokia's drones. Can't anyone see that.
As for the phone, well I don't care about Linux part, but seeing the screenshots there are so many UI mistakes that know they are not gonna do anything to the iphone market share. Some companies just don't get it.
Put down your textbooks and consider something very important - stupidity.
Consider you are at gmail and you enter someone else's user name by mistake.
e.g. you type jasoncw instead of jasonwc.
At this time, gmail's authentication is not working.
You enter jasoncw's mailbox, broke the law and are screwed because of someone else's stupidity. Does it make sense?
breaking into a computer through nonobvious (to the average person) means is hacking.
If an account is not password protected, can it be considered "non obvious"? An "average" person knows the functionality of a password.
If you have a windows user account without a password and I start the computer, and reach the desktop, am I "hacking?"
My post was misunderstood probably because it was incomplete. Due to Opera not opening up their browser, people can't make addins like Firefox. Useful things like Roboform don't work either. If they made it open source, it could have grown faster. Now even Chrome has overtaken Opera, because it's open and people are developing cool stuff for it.
The uproar is not what Microsoft would be worried about. It would be very trivial for them to block all Apple machines, if they wanted to. And there would be nothing Apple could do legally to them, that could force them to make it work.
But Microsoft stands to gain from this. They make Apple users eat humble pie, AND get them to purchase a licensed copy of Windows OS. It is an awesome deal all around for Microsoft.
Apple and it's customers are the only losers if something doesn't work on the Macbook. Microsoft never claimed it would.
This situation is very similar to the Palm Pre / Itunes fiasco. If you're a Palm Pre owner, just STFU if Itunes doesn't behave the way it should.
Modifying hardware or software in any manner that makes it function differently than it was intended has long been illegal (unless specified), and with good reason. What if this 'student' created a bomb out of the components instead? Should they allow that too? What if his modified XBOX blows up in the customers face. Who is responsible?
And why the hell should this individual profit from thousands of people's real hard work in researching and developing the games and consoles? What right does he have to deprive these people of their profits? Just because he knows how to? He deserves the punishment he's getting.
I had a 4.0 GPA from a top 10 university, but couldn't land a Deloitte internship. Ultimately, I got a job by reference. As any worthy nerd would imagine, this does not land well with one's ego.
The job market is currently in a situation which can irrevocably steal your sense of self worth. What this student has done is an simply an act of exasperation and desperation.
The intel atom cpu is 32 Bit. Shipping no 32 bit whatsoever would eliminate you from this very popular market.
Paul Thurott says Windows 7 will be the last 32-bit Windows although with the popularity of Atom I wonder if this will be true, even if the next Windows release takes another eight years.
He said that about Vista as well. It will not be the last 32 bit OS from MS. No way
.. about this story that it hits the headlines in/.? Spammers and hackers will always find a way, we've seen that since the damn of computing. Without them, anyone associated with security would be jobless.

Look what's happening to Mininova and TPB.
Ha!

And what about the company's network logs? What do you do about that?
You should visit other websites sometimes.
You'll know the answer to that question when Avatar launches. Think before you type.

What's that? pm me.

"An abnormal increase of ketone bodies in the blood as in diabetes mellitus" Uh.. no thanks..?
Open source textbooks!!!!!1
Microsoft never made those claims for Windows 7.

Personally, I hope Opera doesn't gain any further market share, because it is not open source. It is becoming less and less relevant.
Chrome is nice, I like how my computer treats it, but it's still in the works.
No it's not. Chrome is not a beta product any more.
Has it ever occurred to you that some of us know about Adblock and still don't use it, because we want to see the ads? Stupid discussion. Next.

I noticed those errors too. And then discounted the rest of the article.
Now I wait for the /. crowd to flame me to death me for using windows.
With a sentence like that, we wouldn't bother.
