If the light is green and the intersection is free of cars, there is a good chance you'll cross it before the light becomes red. If the light is orange and the intersection is full of stopped cars, it's a good bet you won't be able to clear the intersection by the red light.
See? When you have a doubt and wish you had pre-cognitive powers, don't get into the intersection. Wait until you're sure.
There, an algorithm that will work 99.7% of the time.
And frankly, the ratings in Apple's App Store aren't really all that useful either.
Huh? When I see an app with a crappy icon, 20 votes and 1/5 rating, I pretty much know it's a pile of shit. Ratings are not perfect, but saying that they are not useful is a bit of a stretch IMO.
They're not worried about the current iteration of the Apple TV. They're worried about what it foreshadows. The rumors indicate that Apple has been working backroom deals in order to get content providers lined up for something new that's coming later.
For my part, I like Apple, but I don't want them anywhere near my gaming. iOS games work for a quick fix, but Apple has shown over and over again that they do not "get" gaming at all.
Do you mean to say Apple only got gaming for 97% of the population? I think that's pretty much all they want, they couldn't care less about the rest.
Strange thing, you start your post with "No, it's not what Google did with Android" and then you proceed on agreeing with me on all counts.
Yes, Google has a pile of money. Yes they can afford it, and yes they did it exactly that way. " Make everything free and spend millions on it with no returns" was the sentence I was referring to.
I love your business plan: Make everything free and spend millions on it with no returns. You should set up a Kickstarter page immediately. I know you'll do well!
Isn't that exactly what Google did with Android? And now they rule the game?
It looks as if his business skills are more aligned with reality than yours.
I feel this is bad, because people will then be compelled to give more credit to stuff 'TRUE' not realizing that quotes out of context can convey the exact opposite meaning that was intended. In other words, those exact words may have been spoken by the right people, but in the context they were spoken in, they had a different meaning.
TL;DR. You're right. True will not necessarily mean you're not being lied to. Only FALSE can be displayed.
A soccer field doesn't have any size defined. It's just "between 90 and 120m" long and "between 45 and 90m" wide. So btw the smallest and biggest field, there is almost a factor of 2.7 in area. That's a bit of a margin!
CTIA [Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association] explained that the practice of locking cell phones is an essential part of the wireless industry's predominant business model, which involves subsidizing the cost of wireless handsets in exchange for a commitment from the customer that the phone will be used on that carrier's service so that the subsidy can eventually be recouped by the carrier. CTIA alleged that the industry has been plagued by âoelarge scale phone trafficking operationsâ that buy large quantities of pre-paid phones, unlock them, and resell them in foreign markets where carriers do not subsidize handsets.
Emphasis mine. Their predominant business model doesn't seem to be working as more and more countries pass ahead of America as far as cellular telcos are concerned - with both better service and lower fares. And strangely, all those countries ahead have unlocking explicitly legal.
Maybe just forbidding everyone to lock phones would be a good idea? Just a hint of course...
Windows/Windows Live dropped to No. 3, behind the Microsoft Business Division (home of Office) and Server and Tools. "
Yes, and I bet most of their customers for "Microsoft Business Division (home of Office) and Server and Tools" runs Linux of MacOS.
Wake up. If windows goes down the drain, so will the rest of their revenue stream, including "Microsoft Business Division (home of Office) and Server and Tools". Windows is responsible for 90% of their revenue, directly for 30% and indirectly for 60%.
Windows is by far their most profitable entity. Of course, not bigger than the rest combined. Windows is and remain for more than a decade their "cash cow" meaning their most profitable product, and moreover, the product that make the rest of their business possible. business ans servers aren't possible if Windows does down the drain.
Windows is THE product that sustain 90% of their revenue.
Are you asking if Microsoft - ardent member of the TCPA alliance and pushing it to every manufacturer out there - is going to allow alternative OS on their own tablet? Knowing that their principal cash cow is Windows should give you another clue.
Actually, RIM is the one company that surprised me most (by their success) in the past 5 years (since the release of the iPhone).
Palm was already dead and their HP story was pitiful (blame HP here) Nokia did shoot themselves where it hurts most - their own wallet. Everyone else jumped in the Android bandwagon RIM continued to sell a shitload of their pieces of crap for years and years before they really went under. And make no mistake, a comeback now would be short of a miracle. It's just not in their DNA to build something user friendly, sexy and fun. And if nothing else, that's what the iPhone and Androids have shown the world a phone could very well be while being a real tool at the same time. Granted, there still are a few minor areas where BB shines (such as productivity) but it's really meaningless now.
If you have trouble typing on an iPad, too bad for you. I find it very easy and I probably go only slightly slower than on a physical keyboard. It is all in all very satisfactory for me.
That's for plain English typing though. Don't even try programming with all kinds of special characters. That's very painful, to the point of being dissuasive - although technically possible.
What about if you erased every US citizen's bank account? Or you decided that those cooling stuff in nuclear plants are to be stopped immediately (probably harder)?
Let's admit that a heck of a lot of things are run by computer these days. A LOT of stuff.

Still no height defined, so it would have no volume or mass.
We are quite safe.
"Still no height defined" implies "no volume of mass defined", it does not imply "no volume or mass".

That, and the fact that anyone can sign this petition, including everyone on the planet, not just Americans. This is ridiculous.
No. You can't copy a phone like you can copy a digital file.
Tell that to Samsung. Apple's lawyers disagree ;-)
I know learning to read a graph is not easy, but come on! make a little effort !
Do you think all those server products run on Linux?

IIRC Germany also declared war to the US.
Ok, EST, my bad. Still, there are 3 hours btw EST and PST, so my question still applies. I'm GMT+1 btw.
As far as north american majority is concerned, I don't know. It's likely.
This story about sleep (and the lack thereof) was submitted at 2:15am.
PST, yes, but where was the poster at the time?
