I played Sea Fish, and I get your point. Well done. But while I can see how it makes sorting pictures more fun then using a file manager or iPhoto, how will this concept scale to solving complex business problems? Take for an example the task of producing a schedule for a large scale project, where the previous method is to have a meeting of the principles and then create a Microsoft project (or something like that). Would you have to design a game interface just for the task? Cheers!
I looked in my certificate bag in FF, and I got all kinds of Comodos there. What does that mean exactly to me, my personal data, and my small biz? thx!!!
From a one-eyed man (torn retina), I can tell ya, immersion has nothing to do with 3D. I get more "immersed" in a story reading a segment of Dark Tower in iBook then I do at a say a crap 3D movie like Tron. And hell, that's on a tiny iPhone screen.
Just read the Amazon announcement (referenced) and u will see. You can upload whatever u like, to include docs and videos. I agree with all the others that say "How will the Sonyies of the world let this be?!?"
For U.S. Customers Only
It appears that you are attempting to use Amazon Cloud Player from outside the U.S. This service is intended for U.S. customers only.
I know there are ways around this, only I never had a need before. iTunes works great in the tiny Asian nation that I download from...
I am of the/. type that loves it all, especially the back and forth bashing of all factions that provides for an hour of entertainment each day. After all, it's pretty slow here where I live, and with the NYT going paywall soon, what else is will there be to read in the morning? btw, I use macs for web dev, and that seems just fine - much better then in the olden days.
And the interesting aspect is that we are all tools for these fools, from the paid actors to the paid and unpaid bloggers to the fanboy posters on/. Bad press is just press, and look at all the free advertising that Samsung has gotten over this - much more then the original commercial could have ever achieved. And after using a Galaxy, I can see why they would really need all of this viral publicity just to sell a few million units of a newer design - ugh.
Nepal weighs in: there is metered internet but there is also unlimited (most home user's choose this). The metered market seems limited to students who only own a mobile for connectivity. Metering a home router seems obscene to me...
I agree with your last point, and was waiting for someone to notice. This is the way mega tech companies have operated since the '60s. Remember IBM? They hated the idea of handing over a software platform to anyone else, let alone a group of folks barely old enough to shave. But back then, that was even unthinkable and out of the realm of possibilities. Perhaps the execs at Motorola are thinking of going back to the old days, where the needs of the bottom line were almost always met. Good for them, and best of luck with that.
All over Asia you can find these "fairs" which are more akin to a swap meet (but with all "new" stuff) then anything else in the west. It's not like your at a Las Vegas or Orlando computer fair after all. It's just Prantip Plaza Bangkok, but set up in a temporary space. Returns there always get thrown back into stock, and I doubt any "merchant" looks at the content - r u kidding - why, it if boots it's fine!
If only Chrome had better addon support, I'd ditch FF... It's like they overnight became the new dinosaur, like Netscape did back in the day. So what's next?
What u say is so true, and I think as light pollution increases, it may have profound consequences re: how well future generations of folks understand the universe. For example, my wife who has lived in cities all her life, had no idea there were so many stars in the night sky until we camped at Everest Base Camp a few years back. For many people, reading about the universe in science text books back in high school is no substitute for actually seeing the reality of the matter, as expressed by my star of a wife. Cheers!
Too late? Hardly. Rebels regroup and are reborn as soon as an opportunity arises. Yesterday's dead rebels are tomorrow's worshiped martyrs. Having a consensus will make whatever actions later taken that much stronger, or at least give that appearance. This UN-bashing is kinda pathetic...
There are so many alternatives to NYT (albeit at a bit lower quality as far as interactive graphics is concerned) that I don't see how they are going to pull this off. For those in developing countries ranked in the lower 100's of the GDP or HDI, I can't see this working at all. BTW, I really agree with Swave's assessment of advertising in the NYT, but note it's not limited to the weekly supplement - its plastered all over the everyday online version as well. I guess April 1 I'll be going elsewhere after the first 20 clicks or so...
I won't pretend to understand what u wrote, but thx. I had no idea an ISP could see anything other then the router itself. I'm sure glad I live in a country where the ISPs don't give a crap what you do, as long as you pay the bill on time, which is pretty steep: about $40 USD per month for 512 broadband.

Hail to the injected modified rabies infected nucleus abducens and their Optrode Overlords!

Yea, a LOST reference. Much more interesting then the rest of this blather...
I am note seeing where you can't upload MP3s (or Movies for that matter) to the Amazon Cloud. The announcement reads like you can.
I guess they have Nepal locked out... too bad.

And don't you have to remove the sim first every time you reboot? sounds like a pain in the butt to me.

Another sci-fi novel come true?
Not sure either, but loaded would mean "affected" right?
I don't think that could be done, as the article states that 14 macs were infected. Fortunately, I was not one of them.
