"We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose. We have to embrace the notion that for Apple to win, Apple has to do a really good job."
Replace Apple with any given entity and Microsoft with any entity that leads in it's field.
WebOS probably won't ever beat android, iOS or even windows phone 7. Does it have to? No.
Same is true for thunderbolt. Does it have to beat USB, FireWire, etc? No. Thunderbolt devices just have to hit the market.
Thunderbolt can support USB 3 hosts. I just can't wait for thunderbolt to completely replace all of the other cables except power that connect to my laptop.
The big difference between "not MySpace" and "not Facebook" is that MySpace was way way way way WAY more annoying than Facebook is now, even with the privacy problems.
I imagine Facebook, unlike MySpace, will have staying power, even if they're not #1 in social networking.
I never click on ad links, I never "like" things that marketers can get me, I rarely post or comment.
I'm mucking up the data by saying, "I'm bland and I like nothing."
I think if more people were more willing to be boring, they wouldn't have good reason to sell our personal data. OTOH, when I'm out and I need a bite, I'd hope that this influx of useless bland data doesn't mean that all restaurants start serving a grey, flavorless gruel because, "Market research showed that most people don't have any taste preferences..."

I think it's a false dichotomy to say you have to have one or the other.
Yes, calculating circles, cosines, etc, with Tau is going to be way easier than using 2Pi, but, for most non-math types, I can't imagine them needing that kind of distinction.
Tau for uber math nerds, physicists, EE geeks and anyone else who needs to calculate an arc tangent and Pi for everyone who just needs to figure out what diameter pipe they need to fix their sink?
I'll believe this the second you can show me a true Scots man.
What the mainstream society has appreciated about geeks is passion, joy and intelligence. It's come about to be our time, but some of us aren't socially adjusted to be in the lime light. No big deal.
I don't think that's the real story. Disclaimer: I used to work for Clearwire.
Clearwire, which is Sprint's 4G provider, is providing WiMAX at about 2.5ghz, whereas Verizon, AT&T and other 3G providers are providing their 3G at much lower frequencies.
Sure, higher frequencies do mean that there are higher theoretical limits to bandwidth, you also need more power to penetrate farther and provide the available actual bandwidth at higher frequencies. I don't know whether or not Clearwire is transmitting at higher wattages than current 3G providers. However my guess is, no; this wasn't my part of the business anyway and even if it was, I don't know jack about 3G transmission.
Currently, VZW is running LTE at 700mHz, hence it's faster, and has better penetration.
If WiMAX ran at 700mHz, the shooting match would be much closer.
The question isn't, "Should we have nuclear power?"
The question should be, "Are we willing to tax people and ask them to make sacrifices to make sure that their energy is safe and efficient?"
Given that the Tories are in power, the answer to the second question is, "no, and it doesn't matter where it comes from."
If David Cameron's head didn't explode from the sheer impact of cognitive dissonance if he ever had to raise taxes to cover infrastructure in a huge way, his party would be after his head for betraying their core principles and values.
(BTW, Microsoft responded to that letter with the pro controller. Last time this happened, 2nd gen controller sucks, was the 5200. I hope Microsoft's listening.)
In Japan, there's this weird culture of remakes. See: Sega Ages 2500 series. I played the Outrun version. It's replaced the original version for me in terms of what I'd go to for classic(read: not 2. Although OR2 is good fun) Outrun time.
Upgrading graphics, tightening a few things, etc. is almost preferable to me over a sequel to redo old games in the modern age. MegaMan Powered Up/RockMan RockMan simply was awesome.
We have better CPUs, better graphical capabilities, controllers, etc. Let's use them.

Difference is that a thunderbolt to USB hub is likely now.
I run a very recent MBPro with thunderbolt. I hope this day comes soon.

whoosh.
I was kidding.
It was calculated by the guy who did the Windows copy dialogue, so it fluctuated by 9 days.

I wonder if they could win their case by pointing the software in question at the litigation against it Watson style?
My guess is that's not what LegalZoom does, but...
Still, makes me wonder what was the driver for this lawsuit. Did someone get burned because the software screwed them?
That was the most insightful comment...
In the world,
This would be the motivation and not the chance to beat everyone else to the punch?
I was thinking more along the lines of

Team Cyclops claims to have a card that plays 3DS ROMs.

Plus additional greek letters always look cool.

...never mind. That was quick.
Acekard 2i supports 3DS, and so do a few others.
...that of course, is assuming that 3DS flash carts even come out. Currently, flashcarts boot only DS and DSi images.
Flash back to this...

holy crap. I thought Sonic Rush Adventure was damn good(Never played Rush). That looks amazing.
I think CRT tubes had something to do with it. I still feel the same when I look at a classic game through an old CRT tube.
Maybe it's also the fact that I didn't grow cynical in my years...
My thoughts almost exactly.

i thought you were just idly guessing until I googled around and saw that Apple in an advert for the Mini which had a pair of hands in it said, "Keyboard, mouse, megaphone and display sold separately." and "Keyboard, iPod mini, dock, hands, AirPort, Bluetooth and PC sold separately."
so yeah. Apple has a sense of humor.
