Also, it's much more/much different inside, not much less (unless you are talking simply mass and volume which is not relevant to the price of the parts and assembly).
Mass and volume is very relevant to parts cost, and its a large part of why ARM is cheaper than Intel for the same capabilities. And number of parts affects assembly cost, so that ARM SoC is going to come in much cheaper than the traditional PC design of Intel processor, Northbridge, Southbridge, Graphics controller..., or even the latest Atom SoCs which still have a separate Southbridge IO hub.
No manufacturer that is shipping Android based hardware has the option to subsidize the hardware with a 30% cut of all the media, apps and content that gets loaded on the device.
What you mean is that in each country, they sell at the price that maximizes profits. Part of this is justified by lower distribution costs in the developing world, but mostly its just that the profit margins on software, music and movies are insane to start with so there is plenty of price flexibility.
An old phone of mine had a setting for the SMS bearer. I tried changing it to GPRS in the hope that SMS messages would then be charged as data, but the charges still kept coming at the same rate. I think most operators have this enabled on their networks, but they do not have the phones configured that way by default.

So let me get this straight. They're no longer making phones that will use Qt. They no longer have a financial interest in other companies adopting Qt for use in closed source products. They are still letting their developers work on Qt on company time. Exactly how long do you think they are going to maintain this state of affairs, given the time that elapsed between the announcement of the adoption of Windows Phone 7 ("but don't worry, we're not abandoning Qt") and this announcement?
I had a one way ticket...I said I was just going to play things by ear, and maybe do some sheep farming...She also told me that i did not have a visa for the country in question, so I would not be able to travel. I checked on the counties website. You do not need a visa if traveling from the USA for vacation for periods of up to 3 months.
Visa waiver conditions almost always stipulate that a onward or return ticket is a condition of obtaining entry without a visa. It is very rare to be hassled on this by immigration authorities, but airlines often enforce it on checkin, as they will be liable for your return journey in the unlikely event of you being turned away at the border. And your comment about sheep farming would not have helped matters, as that would just have convinced the airline employee that you were likely to get yourself turned back at the border for coming with the intention of working without a proper visa.
In today's legal and social environment, what these school kids did is sufficient grounds for the slanderred adult male to be fired, jailed, and be barred from contact with their children; all without any presumption of innocence (on the part of the justice system). In this case, the principal intervened and instead of the male teacher being persecuted the school children were punished.
How do we know the children weren't right? It seems now that instead of the teacher being prosecuted, the children have been persecuted without any presumption of innocence.
Directly yes. But a higher share price still benefits a company indirectly. For example, a higher market valuation might give them an improved credit rating, giving access to more credit at a lower price.
Incremental garbage collection has been around since at least Java 1.4. The runtime does not need to stop from time to time to perform internal tasks anymore if you know how to configure the JVM.
It appears you are probably right and TFA is wrong (the traceroute doesn't reach its destination for me, but whois shows that IP block to be registered to an address in Fort Lauderdale and the last router to respond to the traceroute is in Dallas, coming from Los Angeles and Osaka before that, so the traceroute appears to be heading in that direction). However TFA also says isohunt.com is hosted in Canada, which does appear to be true (domain and IP addresses registered in Vancouver).
only way to scale up the resolution without making everything look like crap (anti-aliasing, anyone) would be to *double* the resolution in each direction.
My laptop from ten years ago could do non-integer antialiased upscaling that looked much better than the pixel doubling you see on the iPad.
Not to mention that it would fragment the iOS market more, making existing iPad apps use pixel-doubling, with iPhone apps requiring pixel quadrupling for an extra blocky display.
As I understand it, it is partially built on open specs, and if you know an iOS user's IP address you can connect with them provided they are not behind any firewalls. But only other Facetime users can use it without delving into technical details like IP addresses, as Apple maintain their own private SIP registrar with non-standard authentication.
Had Microsoft chosen another word or phrase for their operating system, I don't think I would associate the word "windows" with computers or software.
Kids these days! The word "window" to refer to a framed rectangular area on a computer desktop was in common usage years before Microsoft named their file and program management shell after it.
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. And since you are an Anonymous Coward, I'd have to kill a lot of you, to be sure I got the right one. With the way the media is these days, the Boss doesn't think its good policy to kill that many innocent bystanders anymore.
maildir is supposed to be more robust than mbox, at the expense of some disk space and slower server side searching (which can be dealt with by keeping a full text index)
And that article was a dupe from the 2001 when everyone started blocking mail from Korea because it was mostly spam. The US was the origin of the first spam, and has constantly been the biggest producer of spam since then, no matter what people's perceptions are. Currently Turkey seems to be on the up, but you can bet that it is still well behind the US.
So, if you decide to buy a home in a town that only has a Target, it's somehow Target's fault if the nearest Wal-Mart is 2 towns over?
You forgot to mention in your flawed analogy that the homeowners' association in your new town is controlled exclusively by Target, and if you drive over to the Wal-Mart 2 towns over to go shopping, they will be waiting at your front door with bouncers, to stop you from taking your purchases into your own home.

And they were pretty much spot on.

What is logical about using decimal points to avoid large numbers? It's all arbitrary.

Perhaps that means the most capable, most innovative companies are not the ones trying to make money off picosecond trading.

What media have you needed to mount manually in the last few versions of Ubuntu? Just put the media in and it appears on the desktop is my experience.
