You most likely have a lazy eye. So far that’s been the only reason people can’t see the 3D at all. When was the last time you went to the optometrist?
Geohot found a way to access the hypervisor to get all seven cores running in Linux. I don't know if Sony ever officially stated the reason why they disabled OtherOS other than "security concerns", but it has been theorised they were afraid of piracy, yes.
I had a Pre Plus for about a week (after 3 exchanges it went back for good, too many hardware problems) and I was impressed with WebOS. Nothing about it seems copied from elsewhere and it was nice to use. I kept thinking the phone felt too small for the OS, though. I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPad 1 and I really am looking forward to the TouchPad. I feel HP has the best shot at competing with Apple because WebOS is such great quality.
The picture quality may be a plus for BD, but the fact that they have to boot them, and the damn things take forever to do ANYTHING, is a major drawback to them in my book. I have a PS3 and it's a pain to do anything but watch a Blu-Ray straight through as though it were a VHS tape.
Flash doesn't work on mobile. Period. No one at all says it's even halfway decent. It can't do anything that people actually want it for: it can't play games and it can't play video. I'm not sure what website you are going to that you so desperately need Flash
The biggest problem Linux had was that it treated Windows as relevant. To be successful you don't dress for the job you have, you dress for the job you want. In the server area Linux has never tried to be like Windows, in the mobile area Linux has never tried to be like Windowssee where I'm going with this? This is why Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth has said Windows should not be the target, Mac should be the target. Linux needs to take the approach that it is a superior product and superior products do not imitate inferior products.
Mac OS X is built to keep the file system from becoming fragmented in the first place and starting with Mac OS X Leopard it defragments files under 20MB on access.
So you could also just build a system that’s not broken in the first place instead of putting a band-aid on your broken system, but that really just highlights the OS philosophy differences of those two systems.
J.C. Penney knew exactly what they were doing, their largest investor is LVMH. Not only did they get the traffic during the gaming period, they get the traffic during the blowback because people want to see what Google now won’t show. Google only vaguely discusses how PageRank works and people found a way to use that to their advantage. Words like "Fair" and "Unscrupulous" don’t apply, there are no rules for the internet and the idea of imposing morality on how a person decides to code websites they own or partner with to your best (legal) advantage is just ludicrous.
It’s a fault with PageRank and Google that this happens, not with how people choose to fuck with Google’s spiders on their websites. Google clearly needs to fix PageRank.
I for one, welcome an age where Disney and Sony duke it out with Time Warner and ATT. People seem to think that the end of net neutrality is going to be bad. I see it as the most fascinating experiment the internet has tried since the advent of the WWW.
Consumers are already on the shit end of the stick with providers lying about data limits (unlimited, pshaw) and bandwidth (never get close to paid bandwidth on residential accounts).
What this is going to do is finally make honest men out of all the access providers when they start going to court with content providers. If Sony pays TimeWarner for preferred access, you better DAMN well believe that Sony will be constantly monitoring that and if anyone on Slashdot has learned anything about access providers, they lie their faces off when it comes to promised bandwidth.
This is not a battle that is going to have to be waged by consumers, this is a battle that will be waged by businesses. Access providers are going to be charging CONTENT providers, not consumers, for preferred access. Consumers will just wait for things to load, American broadband is not really all that fast anyway. We are barely into a generation that has not grown up with dialup, slower speeds to certain sites are not going to affect most consumers.
Let me tell you, we will be the winners either by the public availability of internet2 led by the universities and adopted by specific cities or by a new internet supported by the ad-hoc model.
That works great if you are in a private college but I’ve had a teacher ask me to leave a class before because my cell phone rang and I reached to turn it off. I told her I would leave the class if she refunded me from her salary my day’s tuition for the class.
Academics seem to be under the impression they are not being paid to offer a service for a fee. If I pay someone to fix my computer for me would it be OK for them to tell me I need to leave my house for the day if I am going to answer an email on my cell phone while they are doing the job I paid them to do? No. It’s not OK. It would not be OK for a clerk at the GAP to ask me to leave the fitting room because I am not paying attention to their opinion of the outfits I am trying on.
College is not free for students and you are getting paid regardless. Unless you have a student inform you that another student is distracting them, it is NOT your privilege to make that decision for anyone.
Man, you knee-jerks have no idea why smoking bans happen at allin almost every state or city the smoking bans are in place under OSHA. It has nothing to do with you. Stop being so self-centered.
While what you are saying is POSSIBLE, it’s not PROBABLE. The Kinect sensor already eats a hefty overhead of resources and I would wager that adding encryption to the mix pushed it into unacceptable performance territory.
MagicGate was used for PS2 memory cards and MagicGate compatibility is required for MS Duo cards in the PSP but other than that, I also believe it has never been used elsewhere.
Adblock will then collapse the element, so it was like it was never there to begin with whereas a host file block, while just as effective in practise, leaves you with a 404 placeholder.
Most cell phone users have a two year contract, meaning they only upgrade their phones every two years. I had a T-Mobile G1 and less than a year after its introduction it was obsolete for anyone but the hackers because even though the phone COULD run higher versions of this "open" Android, it was abandoned because frankly no one makes any money in free upgrades.
I've really only seen like, 1 or 2 Android handsets have more than one point release upgrade and with the rate of Android releases that's just asinine. Apple supported their original phone in OS updates for 3 years and it can still run the latest applications.
As a consumer, you know, the people who actually have the money, I won't buy another Android phone because A) I don't like to have to jump through hoops to get root on my phone (with iPhones it's a simple, automated process) and B) I'd like updates for a phone that can support them to actually be delivered upon instead of constantly buying a new piece of hardware.
I guess maybe that's true if you're planning on releasing an app for free, which even that can be done with a profit on iOS thanks to iAd and other in-app ads. The iOS gold-rush has not even come close to seeing its peak, with a relatively low market penetration compared to other platforms.
I've used Slashdot since the 90's and there's always been this whole concept that shareware devs deserve to be paid. So now, basically all shareware-type apps on a platform are making mad money and people are screaming because apple rejects like, 2% or something?
If you have a good idea and you can program decently enough that your app won't crash in basically a single-tasking environment, buy a Mac, pay an extra $99 and get rich. Um, where's the downside? Because you're a 40 year old dev used to paying hundreds for other IDE's and making no money and now a 14 year old has made more in a few months than your lifetime earnings? Buck up.
I used to think that was bullshit response, no one pirates something and then pays for it but now I do it all the time with iPhone and iPad software over 99. I have Air Sharing Pro, Air Sharing HD, Pages, Angry Birds, Koi Pond, Words with Friends...I pirated all of them to start but now own licenses.
I certainly wish it WOULD be done with addons so I could start using it now. Frankly, I think Firefox has past it's time of leading the way for other browsers to follow and has become a follower itself. Personas, Separate Process for Plugins and Weave Sync look like attempts to catch up to Chrome. I personally LOVE Google. I use almost all of their services, but do not love Chrome. It's just OK to me. I would rather Firefox fix things like it's slow ass JavaScript performance and memory leaks (which are still present in the nightly builds).
Mozilla makes most of its money from Google. I don't know how smart it is to spend most of your resources copying your main competitor and beneficiary.
I don't own a toaster. I use the broiler on my gas oven to make toast. A toaster seems like a waste of money to me because it takes up counter space to do exactly one thing that my oven can do and at a disadvantage because the ONLY type of item it can toast is sliced bread. I would, however buy a toaster oven. It can toast bread like a toaster but can also make french bread pizzas. It also can make cookies when I just want 4 or 5. It's pretty good at heating egg rolls as well.
I understand that I can't make pot roast or a turkey in my toaster oven but most of the time I am not using my oven for making pot roasts or turkeys and I still have my gas oven for that.
I think I'd rather have a toaster oven which is not much larger, and is so much more functional, than a toaster.
You clearly don't understand how commercial software is made, then. NeXT had to license Display PostScript from Adobe (from hearsay at crazy prices). When Apple was creating Mac OS X they tried to take out as much of the stuff that needed to be licensed as they could, that's why there's so much Open Source in Mac OS X. Display PDF that is part of Quartz 2D is an Apple invention because PDF was well understood and Apple could simulate it exceptionally well to the point that Mac OS X created PDFs render better than Adobe created PDFs on other systems. It was an excellent trade-off.
Yes, Display PostScript would have been advantageous because it offered X-like remote displays and resolution independence and TRUE WYSIWYG printing (although who prints NOW?) but then Apple's display tech would have been reliant on Adobe continuing to license it to them. Quartz 2D and Core Graphics are amazing and nothing still comes close to how it composites and AFAIK it was the very first composite engine to be fully 3D accelerated by turning the entire interface into an OpenGL scene.

AutoPagerize http://autopagerize.net/ for Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Remember that early builds from MS mean nothing. In the end it will just be Windows 7 with no 32-bit backwards compatibility and a new skin.
Android users won't buy apps. This is what comes from that.

BasilBrush meant there's only one official way to get apps on iOS.
