5-year survival rates for Whipples are low because they're generally done in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. It's major surgery sure, but there's nothing about the surgeries that inherently limits the patients to less than 5 years' survival. Correlation != causation.
Except that people won't remember the Microsoft ads because they're not memorable. The whole "collage of lots of different people doing different things" is like amateur hour. It's been done a billion times for every product under the sun. There's nothing unique that helps their brand in it, and it's not even particularly well-done.
People will still be watching the Apple ads and laughing long after this junior high school abortion of an ad is forgotten.
Not anymore. Product awareness is what it is about.
Not for Microsoft. I don't think product awareness is much of a need for Microsoft Windows. What they were trying to accomplish was to change their brand image, to make themselves appear "cool". They failed miserably. What a massive waste of money.
So NeXT may not have had stellar success, but SJ's other little project making cartoons wasn't exactly a failure.
You make it sound like Steve had nothing without Apple.
The success he had with Pixar in itself was a huge achievement. He bought it for $10M and sold it for something like $8B.
Pixar's success was partly accident. Steve wanted to grow the company by selling the hardware that they developed for animation. It was Lassiter who first pushed Steve into the direction of creating great animation.
Its trivial to demonstrate that apple has a monopoly on OSX and OSX computers.
This is a stupid argument, and I suspect you knew it. "OSX computers" is not a separate market, as practically anything that can be done with "OSX computers" can also be done with "Windows computers" or "Linux computers". If there's an interchangeable replacement, it's not a separate market.
Microsoft has licensing to accommodate this while Apple does not. So it may indeed be a violation of the EULA.
The fact that Apple doesn't allow licensing for this modification and distribution (including updates) means that any such modification and distribution is a violation of copyright law, afaict. It doesn't fall under the EULA. If MSFT didn't license this behavior, then OEMs would similarly be in copyright violation for distribution of modified software.
Since we have to temper everything we say in the public sphere based on the reaction of the lowest common denominator of society, we're going nowhere fast. Fixed it for you.
I'm not so sure of that, but even still, lethality alone is one miniscule detail when regarding safety. An acute toxic psychosis from a potent dose of THC isn't made any less worse. Explain to me why opioids are prescribable and THC isn't then? Even though marijuana use is at least two orders of magnitude more common than heroin use, death from heroin overdose (and even more so when you throw in other opioids) is frighteningly common (seen two this week), and death from marijuana overdose has basically never been done.
I don't care how old or how many people use and believe it's a safe drug. Marijuana causes acute toxic reactions in people, psychosis, LSD-like hallucinations, paranoia, anxiety, depression, recurrent flashbacks and depersonalization, habitual use, apathy. etc. etc. 30% of people report negative symptoms as the reason they avoid it. Marijuana is not a great example of a safe drug. Even opioids are better tolerated, and not as harmful to the body as previously mentioned. Marijuana is far from safe. It's a very powerful drug. I assume you have peer-reviewed, reliable studies to back up those claims?
Opioids have true physical withdrawal that make the worst THC abuse reactions look like a playland. But then again, you've probably never seen an opioid withdrawal patient tear his esophagus from prolonged vomiting die in front of your eyes. I have.
Yes, and current French law would actually have made it difficult - if not impossible - for French photographers such as Cartier-Bresson to practice their art, no? What about Doisneau and Ronis? Boubet? It seems like an entire period of French public life is going to be recorded but not published or displayed the way much of the 20th century was - due to fear of lawsuits. There are limits in the US, but generally anything that is taken in public, and is for editorial purposes (including artistic) is legal - commercial use (like advertising) requires a release. Sure, France can pass any law - but it's unfortunate that something like French street photography - which has had a particularly lyric quality to it - should be limited now. I would have enjoyed seeing what that tradition, reinvented with today's technology, might've been able to show. Bringing that humanist tradition to bear on the spontaneous moments of everyday public life would be especially welcome in today's world. I guess future generations will have to settle for mass-media portrayals of today's life, and news coverage of spectacle and tragedy. That's ok, if it's actually what the people of France want. It seems like something is being lost, though. I thought of this, too. In addition, does that make journalistic photography a non-existent profession in France? You can't legally take a picture of a crowd at, say... a protest against the war in Iraq... without getting explicit permission from everybody on the street? After all, the street is a "private place" and all.
I wonder why nearly nobody hasn't built a cheap mac mini equivalent for the linux market yet.
http://us.shuttle.com/KPC/ That shuttle is about 550 cu. in. The Mac mini is 84 cu. in. I hardly think a box 6.5 times larger than the Mac mini could be considered comparable.
If you're already an A&T iPhone customer, this service is legitimately free for you. That's the service that is being stolen here--wifi meant for iPhone users at AT&T hotspots.
So, what I was saying is not that Apple are losing momentum, but rather that they may be losing the ability to become unstoppable.
Wow. That has so many caveats in it as to be completely meaningless.
The US may be losing its ability to be become unstoppable. WTF does that mean anyway?
IANAL, but why don't OSS developers offer a GPL-free version of their software for some really high price. That way, when big-media tries to steal (their words, not mine) their creative works, the developers can sue them for legitimate damages, citing a stratospheric market price per copy, then multiply the number of CDs they've distributed by their stratospheric market price to get damages from them?
"The MPAA/RIAA has distributed 1500 copies of my work. I offer that software at $50,000 per copy. They owe me 75 million dollars in damages!"
That's basically what they big media is trying to do to the consumers, isn't it?

Also would be useful for two people trying to find each other in a large crowd or event (outdoor concerts, markets, sporting events, etc.)

God Damn! I wish I had a funny mod to spend on your last paragraph!

Yes, you could be wrong.

It must have been a very sad moment for Will, when he realised he'd been out-acted by Charlton Heston in Omega Man.
To be out-acted by Heston is not exactly what one would call "shameful".So if a street is a private place, then going naked and masturbating in this private place would be perfectly okay with the Parisians, then?

So you have to go into preferences and renew your dhcp lease every 15 minutes or you have no internet? Yeah, these'll sell well.
As of market close today:
Apple market capitalization $148.48B
Dell market capitalization $39.09B
Maybe Michael Dell should just liquidate the company and give the cash to the shareholders....
