I did NOT mod you down as flamebait. I can't mod a thread in which I am participating, because even if I changed IDs I would still have the same IP address.
You should know that already since you are "someone deeply involved in the semiconductor industry" and so much better educated than the rest of us. (Or so you claimed in another message below.)
Nope I didn't +1 myself..... besides you can't mod yourself when you share the same IP address. You should know that. (You should also know that insulting others is poor manners.)
Steve Jobs said: "We were only 60 days away from bankruptcy when I arrived." --- "So I called Bill and told him I was in charge at Apple and to deal with me directly from now on. Bill helped us with an investment of cash." --- Jobs' vision AND Gates' money saved the Apple corporation, otherwise they would have gone the same way as Atari and Commodore (ran out of cash in the mid-90s).
Why spend an extra ~$10,000 just to get almost-identical cars from the same company? Yeah sure Lexus has little nifty things like motorized mirrors, but for $10 grand I'd rather just adjust them myself. (Same with the luxury brand Apple versus a Dell or Compaq or Lenovo PC. $600 versus $250 is a big difference.)
As you said it's your choice. I just don't think it's my choice. (I'll get the cheaper tablet.)
I thought the word "core" was synonomous with a "CPU"? i.e. a DualCore Intel CPU is actually equivalent to 2 CPUs on the same die. I don't see how they could fit 2000 CPUs on a single graphics die?
Don't tell me they are playing loose with the definitions, like they did when they claimed the PS2 was a 128 bit machine. (In reality its instructions operate on 64 bit-wide words.)
Awe shucks. Modded down by an Apple fan that doesn't like his holy corporation criticized (comparing it to an expensive luxury brand). BTW how come I can't run Safari 4 on my OS 10.5 machine? It's only ~2 years old.
Not according to Chaucer. He tells me the correct word is "hit" which he uses throughout his works, and I'm not about to question the word of Chaucer (one of the greatest english writers of all time).

PASS. Amazon's Tablet only costs 1/3rd as much as the Apple iPad (and I can get Fantasy & Science Magazine for just $10 a year). Per usual the "generic" brand is less-costly than the luxury brand. Same reason I buy Dodge/VW/Toyota not Chrysler/Audi/Lexus.
Is tthis June 28, 2005 or May 28, 2006? Or perhaps even June 5, 1928?;-) I wonder where that list came from? For all I know it was an invention of some Tim McVey-type character. A work of fiction.
And since that "mapping" doesn't include TV stations outside of the city of Wilmington (like Trenton and Myrtle Beach), that means those stations will be disappearing off of local people's TVs due to whitespace device interference. As I said.:-)
>>>isolating the devices to within the surveyed geographic area
What if I sell my used device on Ebay to some other area? They'll have the wrong map.:-( IMHO FCC handled this very poorly. Where I live every TV channel (from 7 to 51) is occupied, so the UHF whitespace devices wouldn't even work. They are really meant for rural states like Wyoming or Montana with poor internet options.
It would be equivalent to the British Parliament, rather than choosing one of the ministers elected by the people, suddenly making a banker the new PM. That's what happened in Italy.
Google doesn't have the power to arrest me and send me to Gitmo without trial (NDAA). That's why I hate corporations but don't fear them. I only fear the government.

>>>"I'm happy with my cheapskate Pre-Paid mobile and basic DSL at home. Ugly enough bill when it arrives anyway."
Ugly?
I have DSL for $15 and prepaid phone for $5. I think that's very reasonable. In fact $15 is what I've been paying for dialup since the 80s, so I can't complain.
I'm glad I don't worry about* any of this cellphone competition stuff. It sounds like Verizon, ATT, T-mobile, et cetera is ripping many of ye off. (And you're stressed-out about it.)
If I was getting paid ~20 million in salary+stock I'd feel no stress whatsoever. Whether I succeed or fail as CEO I'm still going to be rich enough to retire for the rest of my life. I wouldn't give a fuck.

My 10.5 Mac doesn't meet the minimum specs of 10.6. Apple does that stuff on purpose, to force users to go buy new hardware.

Sorry I watch lots of old cop shows like Dragnet and Adam-12 where they say "policeman" a lot. Besides: The guy in the video is a policeman!

Microsoft's investment was the difference between Apple being able to pay the bills in 60 days vs. not being able to pay (bankruptcy)
.
