The DoJ TRIED to stop the ATT/TW merger and lost in court. The DoJ had Fox make concessions with divesting 22 regional sport channels since tESPN is probably the singles biggest force in sports broadcasting(property of Disney).
I think it might be a cultural/country thing. As a US citizen (but also as a person who is into finance) the headline made sense to me. When a stock goes down a noticeable amount, 'plummets' or 'tanks' are often the verbs used to describe it.
I can understand if it let you in after hitting enter once, because then it's just ignoring something. If it denies entry the first few times and then lets you in, what do the *nix gurus think is happening after the first few denials to have it change its 'mind?
If you were running an unsupported (see very old) version of Windows and didn't have a (probably very expensive) support contract to cover it, you would be paying MS to fix that exploit. I'm not sure if Apple has support contracts to support very old iOSs but probably not. Seems unlike them.
From wiki: "Three months later, on August 1, 2007, News Corporation and Dow Jones entered into a definitive merger agreement.[24] The US$5 billion sale added The Wall Street Journal to Rupert Murdoch's news empire, which already included Fox News Channel, financial network unit and London's The Times, and locally within New York, the New York Post, along with Fox flagship station WNYW (Channel 5) and MyNetworkTV flagship WWOR (Channel 9).[25]"
If they've already adjusted their prices to account for this, then there isn't an incentive to pay with cash since you're paying the same price whether you're paying with cash or card (yes, there are a few places that charge less for cash, but they are far and few between).
Personally, I would rather have a person who has run several large non-profits over a business mogul as President, because they know how to make an organization run on limited funds and making do with what they have.
I would think you'd want someone who has ran several small to medium size non-profits then because the large non profits (Gates Foundation as one example) operates on a fairly large budget and has very little chance of ever running out of money. One of the perks of being large.
It's not nitpicking. Google could close source Android (or make its own OS since the license for Android probably prohibits this) and just customize it for the OEMs themselves based on requested specs and get a similar result.
If everyone who uses Android didn't use any of Google's proprietary products, Google has a noticeably less amount of cash coming in.
Android is FOSS, yes. But the key to Google's success with it wasn't that it was open, it was that it was cheap/free and good(the primary reason their closed software has the penetration that it does: it's cheap/free, and good).
Wait, no call for putting the cops in jail for posting this couple's home address? No complaints about the harassment they could get or potential innocent family members that might reside there? Just a "I stand corrected"?
At least 24 years of support for a software product is considered jerking someone around? Do you live in a world where support is indefinite and milk doesn't go bad?
Unless I'm reading the article wrong, it's not your time. Assuming you work a 9-5 at MS, they're saying you can use 20+% of that time to work on Windows Phone Apps. So instead of working on Ms Office for the whole 8 hours of your day, you're getting paid to spend time working on Windows phone apps that may or may not make any money.
So assuming I'm not reading it wrong, what they're asking isn't unreasonable. Why should they pay you to make a product that can take money from them?
It seems to me that if Amazon in particular wanted to circumvent this, they just remove the link in their kindle software that opens up the browser/store. Users would still be able to "pull from archive" any book they buy on the website that wasn't already on the device.
I.e they could goto amazon.com, buy book and not send to any device (assuming Apple made them disable 'send to kindle software on idevice'), open up kindle software and pull from the archive.
To play it safe I'll just never update my kindle software on my ipad/iphone....
i think it would could be measured in days how fast the DOJ and company respond. Given Google's large market share, making its competitors effectively 'disappear' from the internet won't sit well for them.
i can't recall which side of the water but some regulatory agency is investigating whether Google is altering companies search rankings based on how much business they're doing with them.
So yea threatening companies like Oracle, IBM, MS, and Apple won't get Google anywhere but under further scrutiny.
The US discussions tend to focus on smart phones (ones that tend to require data plans). Anytime you mention Nokia/Symbian and the global market, stats tend to refer to any and all Nokia phones that run Symbian (which isn't that pretty much any Nokia phone that isn't running Maemo/meego/etc?)
While Android users might use more data than iphone users on average, unless:
( number of Android users on VZW * android data average) > (number of iPhone users on ATT * iphone data average)
capability to censor content? That might be the end result but they have the companies phone number who is sending this. Telecoms have been able to block phone numbers for quite a while now.
I can't even imagine what would have to fall into place so there would be even the most remote possibility that Ellison's job could ever be taken from him. I'm pretty sure he can have whoever he wants as his #2 and his job will be secure until he wants to give it up and then he'll probably pick his own successor.
What I didn't realise until I read a review recently is that although the Bumper solves the antenna issue, it means that you cannot plug in your standard iPod/iPhone connectors!
I have my iphone plugged in with the bumper now. There's a clearly defined hole of which to plug in the connector. Perhaps your reviewers got the bumper installed upside down?

Settings -> General -> Passcode lock -> Simple Passcode OFF
You can create a password that is noticeably longer and uses non numeric characters.
You have several iOS devices , security conscious, and never looked into what simple Passcode off did?

Are you a retired/active LEO?
You not liking how he got his money is one thing, but saying he stole it is something else entirely and wrong. Grow up.

Would you prefer it prompts the person (in their case the person who took the ipad) if they would like to allow the remote wipe to occur? 0_o
What are they going to do if upper management doesn't provide one? Fire them? Lawl.

Its a shame because he otherwise has a reputation as a guy who will say it as it is.
I see what you did there with 'otherwise'.
While Android users might use more data than iphone users on average, unless:
( number of Android users on VZW * android data average) > (number of iPhone users on ATT * iphone data average)
bringing up VZW's network is moot.
capability to censor content? That might be the end result but they have the companies phone number who is sending this. Telecoms have been able to block phone numbers for quite a while now.
You can buy a house under a shell corporation and hide the owners of that if you want to put forth the effort.

Monopolies do not exist.
MS, Intel, Apple, and Google would all like you to convince the FTC of that.
