Most people will be able to run it within 2 years. This is enough time for a few early adopters to help with bug detection.
I say 2 years because most people end up stuck with phones the carrier doesn't waste development effort working on OS upgrades for - of course they'd rather people bought a new phone than be able to keep the one they already own current. I'm sure they felt it could be ICS only for simplicity's sake, and the problem would fix itself.
What you say is true, but the point does still remain that we shouldn't treat people differently or regard one person's accomplishments as more weighty because of their gender.
I once heard a female executive answer a question at a workplace townhall from someone asking essentially "How do you carry out the mission of a woman in a position of authority in addition to your regular duties?" She deftly responded that her duty was only to do her regular duty as well as she could like anyone else, and that she didn't think of herself as a woman in a position of authority, but a person in authority who happens to be a woman.
Personally I don't see why this is news, even on slashdot.
Moreover, why is Halliburton moving away from Blackberry to iOS supposed to raise any eyebrows? RIM is in a death spiral. This article could have been written about thousands of other companies.
(Yes, I know that this is/. so there's necessarily evil afoot when android isn't chosen, but... )
Well, reading TFS, it says they "licensed a new generation of processor IP" -- but if you ask me, that sounds suspiciously like "licensed some DSP code that runs on any sufficiently-powerful DSP, but only paid for a license for their new chip
That would make the statement "Siri can only run on the A5" true, then. It's just that the "why" is not the most obvious why. The why is a legal/contractual why.
I don't know why anybody cares, Siri isn't very useful at the present time anyway.
More to the point, certainly Linux is not anywhere near making Apple or Microsoft worry but Google is. And every day on Slashdot, it seems, there's another story where Google is behaving in ways we'd expect from the nefarious Microsoft but not from our loving friends at Google.
It's an interesting occasion on which to bash evangelicals, since no candidate with even a remote chance at the Republican nomination can be described as one.
Lexicology matters not.../. has only just now seen the whites of the Rep. nominee's eyes, and this is the first shot of an unrelenting 10-month assault.
The UK would probably just need to send the case before a court, the legal grounds seem obvious. It probably hasn't done so due to not wanting to bother with the expense and trouble of policing this situation.
We prevent people who have been adjudicated as mentally incompetent from owning firearms, even if they have heretofore committed no crime and have the same general right to self defense as anyone else does. Prohibiting the current regime in Iran from owning nuclear weapons is no different.
The legislative conditions that created that stemmed from a time when the UK's territorial waters only extended 3 miles beyond the coast. This is no longer the case, so while it was not within their jurisdiction at the time it would be today.
TFA states, saliently, that where the data resides does not determine jurisdiction anyway.
The advantage of this Sealand "strategy", if there even is one, is that the servers are removed from within the borders of a country which might choose to comply with pressure from the United States to shut an ISP down.
It does nothing to stop said government from influencing the provider of traffic to Sealand - whomever owns the dish communicating with it, for example, whomever owns the building on which it is mounted, whomever in the UK is providing the service. It does nothing to stop the ability to prosecute the people who are breaking the laws involved.
It doesn't move them out of reach, it just adds an extra step or two to takedown.

Is there an extensive history of android apps written for version X being ported back to version X?

They claim to respect privacy and free speech, do they not?
Sorry, are Democrats like the Obama-led White house or the Obama-appointee-led DHS against this bill?

Touchscreens are much harder to type on whilst driving a car, which may or may not be a feature...

Do I need to run the iOS version?

Not me. If 2D toner is more expensive by the ounce than imported Russian caviar, 3D toner will be more expensive than highly enriched uranium.
Perhaps they shouldn't sell a product if they can't provide it, rather than stripping and restricting what people thought they were buying later?
Should we just pray they don't alter the deal further?
