The name Polaroid and many decades of being used for candids. Polaroid has instant credibility as the company for instant pictures. Having the two things connected creates the immediacy which is different than:
take picture -> go home to printer -> get supplies -> print on right paper -> show of pictures.
I'm an old fart, and I think iOS is terrific, best phone GUI I've ever had much better than BBOS. I think Windows 8 for phone or tablet might be cool. Speaking of which I think Microsoft Office's new GUI is a definite improvement, took me a while to get used to it.
I haven't played with Gnome 3, but used 2 quite a bit with RHES. Honestly I pretty much like all the Linux GUIs at this point they are all pretty good at most stuff and intuitive.
So no I don't hate the new. Generally things are getting better. I'd hate to have to go back to running DESQview to multitask because windows 3.0/3.1 couldn't multitaks DOS apps very well.
Lots of countries have problems with internal minorities that don't like the dominant ruling group. Mostly the world is indifferent to their internal squabbles. Sure the world pays lip service to the Chinese oppressing Tibet or Nigeria and the Ibo or Iran's mistreatment of its Kurds but no one really does anything.
Israel has formally annexed parts of the west bank. Israel has built and continues to build lots of very expensive permanent infrastructure on the west bank for its people. Israel has moved around 10% of its population to the west bank. Israel has no intention of giving up the west bank. It is a pipe dream.
Israel is a nuclear power with a sophisticated air force, advanced missile technology and advanced IT. Israel is a country with a history of attacking first and starting wars when it feels corned or threatened. Israel's natural desires are for chaos in the middle east, and damn the consequences for oil production. Why would the world want to pick a fight with Israel over them wanting to beat up on an indigenous minority?
That sounds good and I'm glad they're back. Though I wonder if coming back with an old fashioned analog polaroid might not sell as well. "The polaroid" was a name for a type of picture, a digital print isn't going to feel that unique.
What in the Mainframe market sector is this the answer to?
Lack of knowledge among younger programmers about mainframe programming languages. A client server application can simple be ported to mainframe with the mainframe either playing the roles of the clients and virtualizing or just the server. It allows people to consolidate and migrate Windows server and server applications off the physical hardware.
You've been around a while. You know the management features in a Unix are arguably better than what exists in Windows. They are just very different, because things like license management aren't a focus; there is no need for something like Citrix...
I think the list of advantages pretty much explains why: DTrace, ZFS, pf firewall, and more standard TCP stack. Even Linux/Unix desktop users don't generally care too much about that (ZFS possibly exempted). The advantages of FreeBSD aren't solving problems desktop users face. The problem with Linux in general is that it is too annoying to configure apps. FreeBSD is no worse than say Debian but much worse than the popular Linuxes: Ubuntu, Mint, Mandriva... when it comes to configured apps.
And as for the other BSDs, they are even worse choices for the desktop. As a niche, sure. If it is a BSD shop (and I've worked in those) sure. But otherwise?
I agree the commercials are very friendly and aren't spec oriented they implant ideas like "there's an app for that". What advertising does well.
But you aren't addressing the point. People use the iPhone to do stuff. That stuff requires memory. End users know that. That's why end users want memory.
Apple doesn't have to push specs because they have built a reputation for high spec balanced products.
1) Rothbard's predictions that markets could not have indifferent utility functions i.e. situations where notably goods can substitute for one another frictionless. 2) The predictive power of linear modeling of supply demand curves 3) Virtually everything proven in welfare economics. In particular Rothbard believed that preferences were absolute and not relative to neighbor's exchanges. 4) The effects of monetary expansion on productive output is testable and fully consistent with Keynesian formulas

As for (b) I said "as useful". Austrians do have something to say, and a good Hayak style bankruptcy / liquidation would help a ton. There is far too much friction in our liquidation processes and the Austrians are absolutely right about that. However... far easier would be lots of government spending and some inflation.
None of what you said has anything to do with differential equations
I said 2 sentences both about stuff most people did in their intro to ODE class. That is where students have traditionally done models for themselves and what you are saying about these models wasn't true even for those simple models.
Actually that's not necessarily true. I don't know whether you remember your introductory differential equations class where you did basic modeling, but essentially a model starts with a few observations being converted into hypothesis. Not all facits of a model are explicitly known prior to generating the result data.
The provisioning profile stuff is an open source part of Core Data. I haven't personally checked it, but given that the encryption has been in the open for 5 years....
What on earth makes you think the moneyed interests can't come up with a reformed system that would yield even more rents?
Because ultimately there are countries with strong enforcement and companies with weak enforcement. If weak enforcement countries become major innovators that is bad for the strong enforcement countries. Far too many important people have indicated that the patent enforcement system we have, and one that is just corrupt is damaging more important things than collecting licenses.
First off RedHat doesn't really make a desktop Linux. I guess Fedora, but Fedora is a testbed for RHEL more than a best possible distribution.
RedHat has over 4000 employees in 70 offices in about a dozen countries. They are the 22nd best stock in total return in the SP500 over the last 5 years. Mint is a group of a few dozen volunteers. I really like Linux Mint. I don't personally like RHEL if I can avoid it. But lets get serious about relative scope.
Every Austrian predicted that sort of disaster. The problem is that:
a) Austrian economics predicted lots of disasters that didn't happen. Ron Paul included in this. b) Austrian economics doesn't offer as useful approaches to getting out of it as Keynesianism.
Austrian economics is better than the claptrap the Republicans are pushing. Austrian economics does a great job in critiquing Keynesianism. That being said Keynesian economics is vastly more useful in running a country.
I'd say let's do what lots of other groups do and have the campaign give on the record official answers to a series of policy question of interest to slashdot readers. We could get into more detailed discussion of patent reform or international copyright enforcement or...
Maybe. But one could have made the same predictions about television a few decades ago when computers could still use TVs as monitors. TV based systems (console game systems) and PCs completely forked they didn't converge.
I don't know why touch screens would be heavily used for content creation. Content creation is still complex. Large displays for computers that have touch interfaces already exist. Right now the experience can be a bit off but assuming that's worked out that doesn't prove much about whether that's a niche or a large player.
In periods of time when people are thoughtful there is a lot of work centered on meet & discuss -> work alone for long periods of time -> meet & discuss -> work alone...
In periods of time when people are trying to pull diverse things together there is a lot of collaboration. Right now we've been in a collaborative period as a country for white collar work. I don't know that we can assume that will be the case for the next 50 years. We might need more thoughtful type interactions with more concentration and less collaboration.

Examples for A, I'll pick problems with Rothbard:
1) Rothbard's predictions that markets could not have indifferent utility functions i.e. situations where notably goods can substitute for one another frictionless.
2) The predictive power of linear modeling of supply demand curves
3) Virtually everything proven in welfare economics. In particular Rothbard believed that preferences were absolute and not relative to neighbor's exchanges.
4) The effects of monetary expansion on productive output is testable and fully consistent with Keynesian formulas

Well I told you why they would care, so they could use more multi-media. As for Apple not advertising:
Huh? The way they classify their 3 models of 4s is:
16 gb $199
32 gb $299
64 gb $399
and then the 4 and 3gs at 8 gb
How much more memory centric could they possibly get?
I said 2 sentences both about stuff most people did in their intro to ODE class. That is where students have traditionally done models for themselves and what you are saying about these models wasn't true even for those simple models.
That's just wrong. There was no prediction of even 2.5C by 2100 in 2001.
Actually we have seen a sharp increase in temperature globally. global running 5 year ave.
Actually that's not necessarily true. I don't know whether you remember your introductory differential equations class where you did basic modeling, but essentially a model starts with a few observations being converted into hypothesis. Not all facits of a model are explicitly known prior to generating the result data.
The models indicate there is supposed to be a lag. But so far for previous rises the heat did show up.

I suggest you spend some time at research.microsoft.com
It is hard to maintain a near monopoly. Earnings per share are up about 5x in the last decade. They ain't doing too bad.
Well that's breaking encryption in general. That takes down much more than just the app store.
Well he got through one wall with that method. There are still more walls.
He doesn't have to do that. Just have an interpreter that is built in with the c functions being rather full featured but mostly not used.
