It would seem that way, at least to a certain degree. If Intel can't make their prices lower than everyone else via some back-alley 'bundling' then we're not likely to see the same market penetration. Beyond Intel being the inexpensive alternative to far superior chips from Nvidia and ATI, there's no reason to buy an Intel GPU, unless you're some kind of masochist that likes slow tech. x.x
At the great risk to my karma, I guess I have to just pipe up and say that I don't see the problem here.
License-server based apps have been selling on various platforms for years. Decades. Android now supports this, adding a little attraction to developers to invest time and money making an application for use on Android. Given the lack of QA on a great many Android apps (can anyone offer an explanation how Facebook for Android is such pure garbage, all jokes about content aside?) I for one see this as a step in the right direction.
Android developers, you now have a piracy deterrent for your applications you would like monetary compensation for creating, and more importantly, maintaining. I fail to see how this is evil and how any of the wry 'do-no-evil-lol' quips are deserved.
To expand a little on what I'm intending by recommending testing out of these basic courses, I'm presuming that hiding behind these prerequisites are classes that have some value to furthering your education.
Most any respected University will let you test out of courses, though their guidelines for doing so may differ from one to another.. In my experience, you speak to your admissions person, who talks to your instructor, who lays out what they want from you in order to test out.
You still pay for some (or sometimes, all) of the class, of course; they're not just going to hand credits to the first knowledgeable person that asks politely and can demonstrate what they know, that would make far too much sense for higher academia. But at least you get your credits and don't waste your time.
One that actually walked into the bank, one that did the voice demanding the money, and one that will go to jail for showing his face for a few seconds.
A story about Apple? Let's all talk about Google now! Google!
But seriously, the best part of this whole article is here:
Barton wasn't so positive. "While I applaud Apple for responding to our questions, I remain concerned about privacy policies that run on for pages and pages,"
Amen, Barton. Obfuscation through walls of text is a scummy way to slip clauses past consumers. Too bad every company does it today.
I disagree that Win 7 is ALL hype, though it was fun to attend the conference for a half-hour, get free donuts, and a copy of Win 7 Ultimate, and a shirt. There's substance to it, regardless of whether or not it's on par with [insert favorite distro here.]
Last I heard, Phone 7 didn't even have copy-paste. Is that still true?

Having the clearance doesn't immediately give you the access. You can't complete the certification process, and then stroll into FBI headquarters and ask for a list of undercover agents. TS clearance has been added as a necessity for many IT positions that don't actually access the data they're responsible for maintaining or retrieving, for example.
Are we 'safer'? Maybe. Thomas Jefferson once said, “Those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither.”
A little mental parsing and I've come up with 'Alien Galactic Weasels.' I can see how being in denial about such things can be devastating to one's capacity to ascend mountain peaks.
My first 'internet'y experiences were my Dad's subscription to Prodigy during his tenure at IBM, and my brothers friends' BBS. We played Warcraft 1 via it. =3 I was... hmm... 8 or 9.
If you can get a bit-directional 1Mbps line... that's darn close to a 1.5Mbps T1, which companies pay hundreds of dollars a month to get! A T1 is plenty for most small Internet business-related traffic, unless there's hosting going on locally or remote backups happening of multi-gigbytes of data.
Personally, I'd love an unfettered 1.5Mbps uplink, though I'd miss some of my 7Mbps down, I only get 768k up. That makes my local FTP server a little sluggish for remote file retrieval, especially if I'm steaming something from my home server to my phone.
Planes would be falling from the sky if McDonalds had an airline. You wouldn't dare fly with them, lest the pilots be 15-year-old acne-riddled highschoolers.
Besides, wouldn't McDonalds be considered one of the many reasons passengers are weighing more now than ever before??

No more garbage intel GPUs for computers?

Futurama quotes in obvious jest will mod your posts flamebait! Hah!
A Blue Screen of Death by a computer yields a Black Screen of Death on an ocean. Interesting. Kill all humans, anyone?

Not that I encourage deliberately starting wildfires, but does this encompass protection if you draw Mohammed now?
Seems it would be hypocritical otherwise, had I not kept it short and simple. =)
But hey, here's your chance, the opportunity to issue a cutting remark of your own if you feel it's so necessary. Unless imamac beat you to it.

Thank you for clarifying. It's a shame nobody will know this until they come across your comment. Here come the Apple-lol-ments.
