"will do far less than most existing smart phones"
For specific tricks, maybe. But it will apparently DO all the things all these other phones promised.
The Cisco situation is far from solved, and it's not a slam dunk for Cisco, they did made hay with it that day - it certainly served to promote something no one is buying.
Publishing this article on how the iPhone keynote was a mistake... was a mistake.
We have a building with a 9KW system on an all-electric building that gets us a $0 bill for many months, and a 12KW system on a much larger all-electric (including heat pumps) building that saw a typical 60% decrease in its electric bill. They're both grid-tied and net-metered. Another 100 sq ft of panels and I could keep our Twike charged on solar alone!
Haul out two identical factory-firewire macs. Run 10.0 on one and 10.4.x on the other. It's night and day - speed, apps, UI, prefs... You'll see the significant difference in mere minutes.
OK, if the FW thing bugs you as a needed upgrade, Haul out two identical iBook clamshells (blue, orange, etc) Run 10.0 and 10.3.x
OSX has improved overall speed on a given machine with each.x. upgrade. I have original Bondi iMacs that run better with 10.3.x than any previous OSX. I have an iBook G3 that got a new lease on life with 10.4.x
Subsequent Windows versions on the same machine run maddiningly slower, if at all.
"For about four years, Microsoft has tapped the spy agency for security expertise in reviewing its operating systems, including the Windows XP consumer version..."
Jeez. If I were either MS or NSA I wouldn't even admit that given the XP home security record.
... of old objections with a slight new twist about peroxides.
Back in the 70's the results of the "chicken soup" (gas exchange) experiment on board the Vikings were frustratingly inconclusive - the resulting single release of gas when combining martian soil with a mixture of likely nutrients could have been produced by several mechanisms: (1) a simple chemical reaction between the soil sample and the "soup", or (2) the death rattles of an organism poisoned by the "soup" or (3) the initial metabolic release of (an) organism(s) that ate itself to death like a goldfish on the nutrient "soup".
... which Maria Sharipova poster is the coolest.... which STTNG uniform best hides Romulan blood stains.... baked or fried Cheetos.... best way to get your parents out of the house for the weekend.
Watched this last night, and the trail of breadcrumbs (that were spaced out in time, out attention intterupted by Super Bowl, reality shows and pretzel chokings thus keeping us off balance) is in this show at least, pretty clear and sickening. Rumsfeld, Cheney, and ultimately Dubya got exactly wat they wanted, piece by piece, line-of-language at a time, retailatory behavior after retailatory behavior. And all their pawns got Presidential Medals of Freedom.
All those times when you looked at the next logical headline and thought "They couldn't really have done that for the obvious cartoon evil reasons..." Apparently they did, in what is now clearly an unapologetic manner, with no more compassion than a cat for a mouse.
The guy I felt most for was Colin Powell. He should have stopped playing the good soldier to his commander and tell the plain old president to go pound sand.
Except in nomenclature, as the British refer to cornstarch as cornflour.
I can vouche for the difference on two fronts - I tired the corn flour sold in Carrefours in Nice and it was definitely not cornstarch and didn't work. As someone has learned the intricacies of gluten-free cooking, you can buy corn flour and use it in a celiac diet, and it's not corn starch, it's a separate thing.
... you have to mix the non-newtonian fluid pretty accurately - too thin and it won't support you, too thick and it's trivial... you'll notice they have a stirrer of some sort in the pool video - this is important - this stuff can settle in short time so you end up with mostly water above and mostly cornstarch below. Jearl Walker once lept over tables into a feed trough full of this stufff on his show. He didn't splash a drop. He did, however lose his balance, and tipped the whole thing which slowly flowed into the audience...
And they mention conrflour - I'd stick with cornstarch. One time going France and Hungary to teach science, I figured I'd forego the big containers of white powder on the international flights... and getting to Nice, I found that you can only buy boxes of cornflour, not boxes of cornstarch in French grocery stores. You could get sugar-packet sized envelopes of it, which were labeled in French with something I could not read but I imagine said "You are in France. We are famous of our sauces. If you need cornstarch to make a sauce, then go away!."
"...no one can say with any certainty when -- or even if -- this industry will achieve critical mass. If it does, though, it may well change the world. And you can rest assured that we'll be there to beg, borrow, stumble or buy our way into those standards and revenue streams."
these so-called security researchers, who pay more attention to bloggers and posters than to the real issue.
They need to do the right thing, not the cute thing, and not do what is simply a glib response to their offended sensibilities.
This is not about just MOAB, it easily applies to these guys behavoir in the whole series.
That any platform's fanboys make LHM pout is no excuse to act like a punk, poke the OS with a stick, and show the public how to take down said OS.
What made MOAB happen is LHM's decision to execute it in exactly this fashion.
I can't fault bloggers or posters for simply spewing their opinion. Everyone does. That's what blogs and forums are about, some happen to be polished enough to withstand the light of day, but most aren't. That's not what security research is about, so it's imcubment upon these alleged security professionals to act as such and do this through regular, responsible channels if they expect anyone, Apple included - to take them seriously.
Apple's not basing their security actions on the demeanor of whiney mac fanboys - neither should these researchers.
My point is that if you think Apple users' attitudes are the driving force in what should be a professional relationship between Apple Computer Inc. and "security researchers", then there's something very wrong with either the supposition or the reality.
My post was a humorous look at the possibility of Apple paying any attention whatsoever to such an absurd situation.
The "researchers" conversation could be just as funny if their actual behavior wasn't already bizarre enough.
The fact is there's basically no Apple side to this unfortunate situation - so it's not a relationship between Apple and anyone else - it's simply attention-getting on the part of LHM in this case.
"Infantile" would be a moderate way of describing LHM's demeanor. Among other things they claim this MOAB method is better than telling Apple - when in fact Apple has a pretty good rep for fixing holes / exploits / etc. Much of his site (and the associated blog) is dedicated to baiting Apple users - which has more to say about his personality than it does anything else. He claims that if he wanted to run a business he could sell these bugs and exploits for each - and if that's his idea of a security business - to go right past the responsible route to choose between silly and criminal - we're entering the realm of sociopathic behavoir.
"Apple has had poor relations with security researchers for years. Partly it's because of the smug attitude of many Apple users - who assume that because they don't get attacked their OS is more secure"
Huh? Apple's users are to blame for Apple's work with security researchers?
Imagine that meeting - "Steve, I'd love to make sure we use every avenue available to us to secure the platform, but heck, our users are just thumbing their noses at the rest of the OS world, and gosh, but it's fun to see - I say let's just live with the holes." "Sounds good to me, Phil - thanks for the insight. Now, about that MacBoy Advance SP that Scooter's been working on..."
You go thru all those annoying things flying north south, but you don't get jet lag N-S. You may be very tired, sore, stressed and annoyed, but you're not jet lagged.
I can simply put you in a very comfortable room, with all the amentities you could wish for short of an external clock or true windows, change the time schedule on you, so slowly that you'd not notice, and when you come out and try to resync, you'll wish it weas just bad food, shaky, cramped seating and crying babies.
As for the recipe you quote, it's far more specific than what you propose, specific food and drink is important, as is light. Your solution would only work in one direction, and would make it quite worse in the other.

Most of the world is mostly the same.

The sounds and pictures for your existing phone are DRM'd.
Where's the hue and cry there?
This and the "iPhone not running OSX" are just so much ign'ant piling on.
These stories make it and other less silly ones don't - of course you can't mod submissions - so it makes you wonder about the editots' motives.
The headline is right there on the front page / feed - the proof of the folly is buried in the comments, just like retractions are printed on page 7.
In fact, in the UIS at least you can use "TM" from when you begin the claim, you can use "R" once it's actually registered.
Fred Allen said every time this country rattles, anything loose rolls into California. Must be full, and it's creeping up the coast.
So school policy is now being dictated by a guy named "Frosty"?

So far it's 50% Apple Bugs.
No wonder this guy's hiding.

Oh, and the fifth one recommends sugar-free gum.
