Australia needs this like nothing else.
If this were mandatory by the government, giving people a realistic view of what the network coverage was like, not just whichever telco's optimistic personal view.
This would be a huge boon to the customer.
Without mentioning names but its a foreign company and rhymes with poptus has DREADFUL signal in major centres, ive had my android phone back and forth with them for 2 months, because they are convinced its my phone thats dropping calls, not their network.
My experience of people using computers at work, windows 7, is they have no idea you CAN change the UI appearance.
Most are blown away by the simplest of tasks, leaving the tweaks available in a UI to the expert users.
Making it a low priority
150 twitter 'friends' is equivalent to 150 trillion Facebook friends, because Facebook friends have no value.
150 twitter friends is equal to one friends phone number.
maybe its just me, but if im not texting-calling you then really we aren't friends, we are acquaintances
What browser are you using 'bit of an expert'?
I haven't run antivirus for 10 years and i've never been infected, I torrent things daily and i've seen some of the seediest burrows of the web.
Navigating the web is a sixth sense grown over years of use, same as any skill. You know a good torrent just by looking at it, you know a dodgy website as the first image loads. You have been doing this so long you don't even SEE the ads in a page.
Amateur hour is over.
my dad (65) would CRY if he had to try and figure out how to use my Galaxy S
and i would cry at the prospect of having to support him in using it. Nokia need to stick to their simple 12 keys and a monochrome screen for all the parents out there
while true in practice for a 20 km tower, your observation is not technically correct. For a long enough tower (too lazy to compute now, but much larger than the distance Earth-Moon), the velocity given by a normal human toss would be enough.
you're in orbit if you have the right combination of velocity and potential energy (the momentum also gives the kinetic energy), not just if you have the right velocity. Also note that you need the right orientation for that velocity.
wouldn't something like this throw off the earths center of gravity ?
It's called entertainment. Some may call it useless. Frankly, I would say it's the only inherently useful thing humans create -- all other "useful" inventions are useful only to the extent that they further our ability to enjoy. The only useless invention is one that never leads to any increase in human joy. Anything that is properly classified as entertainment does, by definition.
I mean maybe if it was in 3D it would be a little more entertaining

What does a software developer know about editing movies?
i would HOPE that there were designers laying out what the developers would then implement
surely there's firefox on ipad?
*don't have one*
No ones opinion matters more than your own.
Are there any decent review sites out there? Everyone is on someones payroll.
So local news is worthwhile, but on the larger scale its useless?

My honest opinion on this is at Redmond, bureaucracy makes a tablet. At Cupertino, Jobs makes a tablet.
Need a rubber bumper to cover it up
Cares not for green
What browser are you guys using?
not trolling, curious
That was Bill Clinton

Surely changing the age of the characters in question is going to be cheaper than cutting out an entire country?
Depending whether or not the almighty Apple decides to let your app onto the market.
Cant you jailbreak iphone's, and install whatever you want, just by clicking on a weblink nowadays?

Easy, they just send in space sharks to eat the space dolphins.
with lasers attached to their heads?

Its just a shortening of the word, this has been around since the day after the word 'application' was used in a computer sense
