I just bought a car with a backup cam less than 2 weeks ago. I can see everything in the cam that I can see in the mirrors unless I move them to some weird angle. So long as I have the camera set to "wide angle" view, that is. The picture quality is pretty crappy at night, though.
LG? I've owned LG phones in the past. While they were inexpensive, they were the cheapest (quality wise) phones I've ever owned, and simultaneously lacked features common on competing products. Mozilla could have made a better choice by going with pretty much any other company.
They're using the DIYDronesArduPilot, the image in the article shows the ArduPilot Mission Planner software. For a few hundred dollars you can turn an RC aircraft into an autonomous craft, it's a very nifty project.
I'll have to get some of that! I've got an RC plane I don't use much because I don't like paying for repairs when I inevitably crash it.
"As Do Not Track picks up steam and standardization is well underway in the W3C, people have begun asking, âoeIf Do Not Track is so good for the web, why donâ(TM)t you turn it on by default?â
Frankly, it becomes meaningless if we enable it by default for all our users. Do Not Track is intended to express an individualâ(TM)s choice, or preference, to not be tracked. Itâ(TM)s important that the signal represents a choice made by the person behind the keyboard and not the software maker, because ultimately itâ(TM)s not Firefox being tracked, itâ(TM)s the user.

We wonâ(TM)t turn on Do Not Track by default because then it would be Mozilla making the choice, not the individual. Since this is a choice for the user to make, we cannot send the signal automatically but will empower them with the tools they need to do it.
Do Not Track is not Mozillaâ(TM)s position on tracking, itâ(TM)s the individualâ(TM)s â" and thatâ(TM)s what makes it great! For that reason we have no plans to turn on Do Not Track by default."
Clearly GP, and at least 4 moderators disagree. I do, too. Just because the Firefox team says it is so, does not make it so.
MS currently licence 2,300 patents relating to H.264 for 2 cents per unit. Google/Motorola want $22.50 for the remaining 50 patents it holds, per unit
Microsoft have entered cross licence deals for non FRAND patents with Android manufacturers.
That’s right. Just 2 cents for use of more than 2,300 patents. (Windows qualifies for a volume discount, but no one has to pay more than 20 cents per unit.) Motorola is demanding that Microsoft pay more than 1,000 times that for use of just 50 patents. And that is for a $1,000 laptop. For a $2,000 laptop, Motorola is demanding double the royalty - $45. Windows is the same on both laptops, and so is the video support in Windows.
This is unjustifiable on Motorolas part
If moto owns the patent they can charge whatever they like for it (so long as they charge everyone the same). They don't have to justify the price to anyone. If MS or Apple decides the price is too high, they can opt to not license the patent (and of course not use whatever is the subject of that patent). Just because MS and Apple may have decided to make their mobile phone business dependent on someone else's tech does not mean that other tech must be a particular price.
OTOH If MS wins this one, I may file suit against BMW because I think that the 6 series convertible should be closer to $200.00 than what it is today. I'll keep my eye out!
would mean that for now there is no longer any support for the AMD Catalyst driver on the KDE desktop. Due to driver bugs, AMD's proprietary Catalyst software only works well with the GL1 renderer even though their latest hardware supports OpenGL 4
Doesn't that kind of contradict its-self? Even if AMD's software is buggy with newer GL, buggy doesn't equal "no longer any support".
It sounds to me like the cards would be supported, and might finally get some attention and bug fixes if the desktop were actually using the newer library and thus tripping on the bugs.
It's about how men are shit on in pretty much any divorce case.
Wife alleges you hit her? Off to jail, guilty until proven innocent buddy.
Wife alleges you molested the kids? Say goodbye to your kids forever, pal. Maybe if you're lucky we'll let you see them for a few hours once a month with a supervisor present.
Wife wants child support? We don't care that she's spending all the money on her new ex-con boyfriend's meth lab, you'll pay it or it's jail for you, sparky!
Wife is a drug addict who neglects the kids? Tough luck pal, she's still getting full custody over you. That's what you get for showing up to court with a penis.
Wife won't let YOU have the kids during your court-appointed custody days? File this paperwork. We'll look into it in about a year, if you're lucky.
You won't let HER have the kids during her court-appointed custody days? Freeze, motherfucker! Get you're hands on your head NOW! ON THE GROUND, ASSHOLE! DON'T MAKE ME SHOOT YOU!
Welcome to the world of divorce court, Mark.
I bet those that have never been divorced think you're exaggerating. When I got divorced, the first time I saw my lawyer he pretty much laid it out exactly as you did. He did mention there were some fairly reasonable reasons for most of that stuff.. but I have forgotten what they were.
Schwartsy doesnt care, hes already out of office.
Which of course is the counter argument to term limits and what not.
I am just wondering where California will get the 2 million. They can barely cover costs as it is.
And their highways are the worst ever. It is almost like they havent repaved any of them in years.
They were going to repave the highways but then they got high.
More specifically, doesn't every Abode program have a splash screen and don't they take a loooong time to load?
Photoshop CS5 does both! I've got a very beefy system, and I still sit at the Photoshop splash screen (after a fresh reboot) for 11 seconds waiting for it to load. Not that it really bothers me, but your point is valid.
I find myself thinking it is unfortunate that we keep people alive for so long. My grandmother who is 84 is living in an assisted living facility. It's one thing to live into your hundreds if you can actually do things that make living life worthwhile, but it seems the elderly I've seen living in those facilities are miserable. It's a horrible place to live. You can play board games with other strange elderly people that you may not like, or you can watch tv, or you can stare at the walls and wish for death.
Maybe I'm not your standard issue human, but I sincerely hope I don't live anywhere close to 114.
Mine's never been connected to the net, either. My kids play it, I don't want some halo player telling my kids about the various methods he will use to rape them between matches.
When they're old enough for this to not concern me, I'll get them a PC and they can play real online games.
You have a funny idea of "dated". LTE was pretty useless in a lot of countries until recently so having it is really nothing other than a battery drain in regions with no or spotty LTE coverage whereas the 4S supports HSPA+ speeds in more countries and regions that LTE is offered.
The supposedly "faster" CPU in the Nexus is hampered by a combination of unoptimized software and poorer GPU performance. See the following video encoding example.
I never mentioned the nexus in particular. I'm pretty sure that every smartphone manufacturer except Apple has 4g products on the market these days. I said dated because 4g smartphones have been around since at least 2010 (htc evo 4g http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Evo_4G), so that puts apple about 2 years behind. In my opinion, 2 years behind in the tech industry certainly qualifies as "dated".
4G (well, LTE which really is still a 3G technology that American marketing droids have decided to wrongly call 4G) isn't yet available in very many places at all, globally speaking. Even in the US it's only in the large cities, and remember that Apple sells far more iPhones outside the US than in it. Plus given that the iPhone 4S supports HSPA+, that allows speeds that are more than fast enough for a mobile device already, regardless of all this 3G/4G/infinityG OMG terminology. (Remembering also that LTE comes with a tradeoff: rather crap battery life compared to HSDPA/HSPA/HSPA+)
Once you see 4G rolling out to more than a handful of places I'm sure it will be in the iPhone. In fact it will probably be in the next iteration due for release in the next 6 months.
I guess I'm just spoiled. In the area I live in, almost every carrier has 4g service. Even second rate carriers like Metro (aka Cricket I think) have 4g around here. It may not be "true 4g" but it's much much faster than 3g. On Metro (my kids have this carrier) they get about 5Mbps on average and on Verizon it's closer to 40Mbps (for about twice the price). That's faster than my fiber connection to the house, btw. Either way, both smoke what I've seen for 3g speeds around here.
If you can't recognize that the iPhone is a good phone, you're just as bad as Apple "fanboys".
iPhone is an OK phone, but the 4s is quite dated. Any company marketing a flagship cellular device with no 4G support at this stage in the game has missed the boat. That goes double for iphone since the data consumption on the thing is legendary.
Apple has the most brand loyal customers on the planet
It's just a fad
Just like any other fads, this "Apple frenzy fad" will become stale, people will lose interest in Apple, once a new-kid-in-town with new fangle tricks appears
I used to say the same thing. Now I'm starting to think they've secured a niche as a status symbol. Much like Gucci or Prada handbags, many people buy apple because they want other people to see them walking around with that apple product. Have you seen vehicles with a white apple bumper sticker? I think the mere existence of such a thing is proof of this.
Apple isn't "an electronics maker". They design electronics, buy a lot of Samsung components and have poor Chinese people work 18 hours a day to assemble them.
Importers and purveyors of Chinese electronics seems like a good description to me.

What else could the iPad3 add to up the ante? Everything else I've read is just incremental improvements.
It could run something other than iOS, that would be more than just an incremental improvement.

If MS or Apple decides the price is too high, they can opt to not license the patent (and of course not use whatever is the subject of that patent).
So you think that they should not implement the standard and roll their own solution?
I didn't say that, but that is certainly one of their options.
