"Why would anyone buy a Nexus S phone from a phone carrier?"
So it doesn't cost $600. The phone carriers give deep discounts on phones in exchange for new contracts. This is how the majority of people are able to afford smartphones at all.
If you're tethering with a wifi iPad then you wouldn't be on the cell network anyway. Unless you mean the 3G iPad can act as a hotspot? I might actually look into getting one if that's true.
I think the author was trying to show us that we could follow multiple storylines, ie multiple inputs, but I got confused very quickly. I guess I'm just not fully "evolved" yet to process multiple inputs.
The main problem with this, as has been pointed out in previous articles on Dropbox, is that if Dropbox decides to re-upload the entire file if a piece changes, that means every time you make a single change to the TruCrypt file, Dropbox re-uploads the entire thing. Then again, if it uses a segmented method and only uploads portions that have changed (though even if they do I doubt they'd do it for straight binary files) this isn't as much of a problem.
Working with a moving requirements target is something that we, as software developers, just have to learn to live with. There will always be another requirement (sometimes even after the launch of the product) that wasn't anticipated and needs to be added.
If Apache Harmony is based on OpenJDK, that's a clear GPL violation, as you're not allowed to change the license on products derived from GPL products, unless explicitly allowed by the copyright owner.
But then that would be Apache who broke copyright, not Google.
I had a girlfriend once who did this. She would type "google.com" into the google search bar at the top of her browser (firefox) to get to google so she could run searches. Drove me crazy.

Sounds to me more like they're trying to charge for you letting your friend drink out of the same straw.
Where I used to live AT&T didn't even have coverage. We had Verizon or nothing.
Goes to show, you get what you pay for.

Does Easytether work well? I've seen it in the app store but have been leery of trying it out.

You might be one of the lucky few who's carrier actually cares about them (the customer).

Don't forget you're also trusting your ISP as well as the backbone service provider who carries your data across the internet.
But where would one get the scratch?
I think you'll find that's not true... Prison populations are exploding.

The story that got me started in DF: http://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/
None of those rise to the level of suing the makers of Angry Birds. It's like suing Santa Claus or Ghandi...
Now THAT is a disturbing comparison.
Google wouldn't be interested in Sun's server or storage IP? really?
I'm pretty sure Google has their own server and storage IP, they don't need Sun's.

"Zynga had to give Facebook both platform and game title exclusivity, although the most important details are missing. That helps explain why the company remains so dependent on Facebook."
And
"All Zynga users must have valid Facebook accounts, apparently whether or not they play one of the games covered by the agreement."
They can't port any current games over to G+, which IMO is a good thing. Damn Farmville.
Am I the only one who thought "landmines" when reading the title?
Ooh nice rebuttal ;)

The first half of the movie showed it making attacks.... it was very clearly swinging the blade back to strike.
Well it is the logical next step....
And then a week later once again is talking about how important being secure is, and a little inconvenience isn't that bad.
fb wins because i don't wanna give ALL my data to google.
Ironically the main reason I'm using Google+ is because Google ALREADY has all of my data... That's kind of a scary thought actually.
