C'mon, you know deep in the Apple dungeon they have a Hari Seldon vault where Jobs' pre-recorded holograms pop up telling them what they need to do next.
Yeah, saw one at Daytona. Pretty stupid looking. But a modern Aluminum V6 with direct injection, making 320 hp/300 ft-lbs torque and weighing 150 lbs? That would be cool in a bike.
Still, Apple could be moving towards a consumer / developer split on hardware. Consumer stuff might be something like an iMac/iPad hybrid walled-garden thing and developer would be those little black trash can Mac pros they're about to release.
Daughter, 13, is on her first iPhone. Her last 2 iPod touches still work, though the 2 is getting a bit long in tooth. It just sits in the car dashbored serving up music. Some kids are pretty good about these things.
Now, about that flip phone I dropped in the dog pen a few winters back, finally found it after spring thaw. Ok, the dogs found it first and had some fun chewing on it.
After introducing daughter to original SW (meh from a 4 year old), she eventually saw prequels at friend's house and was digging the look of it all. Then Clone Wars cartoon came out and she had someone to identify with. That's what got her hooked. She's old enough now to dislike the prequels' storytelling and is both excited and fearful for new movie. She worries after seeing Star Trek movies there will be too many lens flairs.
There was a time where ie did dominate the browser scene. But things change, as they do. If anything, Windows dominance, rather than being something easily replicated might rather be looked at as a freak anomaly and trying to replicate it with each new product migh be detrimental.
Truthfully, the water hazard bit is all I remember from the movie. Well that and folks worshiping a picture of Joseph Hazelwood. Now that I think about it, it's a strange movie!
Exactly! My Ti99/4a (with 16k RAM!) still works fine and does everything a computer neds to do: read data, process, write data and you can even play games on it!
Yup, we updated daughter's hand-me-down 3S to a 4 last year. In a year or two, when I upgrade to whatever she'll get my five. (wife refuses to give up BB!)
That's one thing I've never understood: the fear of dissolution. Do we cry when a bubble pops or a rainbow fades? Ok, if you're 2 years old but everyone else understands that such things are ephemeral. And that's all we are; a standing wave pattern riding an electro-chemical bath in a bag of meat and sensors, looking up at the stars, from which we were made. We're just a unique viewpoint in a universe of other unique viewpoints, constantly being created and fading away, like the droplets that make up a refractive cloud that produces a rainbow, if someone is in the right location, looking in the right direction.

Good to know. Not there yet. Still trying to get out of the bathroom before the bulldozers crush me. Fritz ROCKS!
Exactly! The hoops you had to jump through to get the BFG sucked!
They could show some interesting trends in the development of president Cyris and help explain why she decided to invade Calvada when she did.
You'd need an Omnilingual (by H. Beam Piper).
Wrap it in I earned set to orbit in Oort belt?

Hard the Hawaiians invaded Wales and took all the vowels.

Ballmer has a love interest?

Purchasing regularly buys fleets of Dells in that price range. Makes sense to get in on the action.
This is starting to sound like that TinCup movie where Costner keeps dropping shots into the water hazard. But what if I succeed? They'll remember me!
God, if Windows could just have a built in ssh client...
Yeah, but that's not winning. Winning gets management nice big bonuses!
5.1a was the best. Wish someone could write a nice OS 7 wrapper for it.
Exactly! Microsoft monopolizes XBox market just like Apple monopolizes iTunes. A plague on both their houses!
Yup! Or like IE. took them a few versions before they won.

Microsoft bought $150M of Apple stock when Apple had $4B in cash on hand. As more symbolic than life saving.
So far, meat-sack, corporation, and...
