too bad my inlaws don't watch most of these but the russian channels they have and the ones FIOS doesn't. same with international channels in almost every other language. lots of immigrants in the USA from all around the world who like to watch TV from their birth country.
the TV part of google fiber is crapola. and a little with FIOS as well.
i have some family who live in the FIOS footprint. they still have cable. the reason is that they watch A LOT of international TV and the cable company has 4 of their language international channels. FIOS has 2. cable costs $80 a month more, but for them its worth it for those channels since that is what they mostly watch.
same with almost every other language channel lineup. lots of people in the USA watch them and are willing to pay for them. with with the huge costs in building out infrastructure like this its stupid to not try to cover every last potential customer
wouldn't it be cool if everyone died but your code survived? it would be on the next season of Life After People
you're a MORON. i joke about DR with people all the time. i get daily emails about spending ridiculous amounts of money on DR. sure it works for fortune 500 international megacorps and financial exchanges but for smaller companies it makes no sense to spend a lot on DR. if a nuclear bomb goes off in NYC or an 8 magnitude earthquake happens my concern is my family, not going to Philly to get DR running. like i'm going to dump my wife and kids and hope they survive just to go do DR who cares, in the ensuing depression most of our customers will go out of business anyway which means my employer probably going belly up
i have an employer coded app on my iphone and ipad that links into our corporate VOIP system and turns my devices into my office phone. logs me out of the office phone too.
no big deal. hundreds of similar apps with services in the app store for iphone and ipad
adobe sells development software. their other products are already used in the development of mobile software. the probably didn't see a need for Flash
believe it or not Adobe also has HTML5 development software they sell
abraxas says that if you upgrade your video cameras they will scan the feed in real time and alert you of suspicious activity like known or highly suspected shoplifters coming into the store or being in the area. or if someone applies for a job they will scan the applicant's face and look to see where else he worked and the shrink levels before and after
if you earn revenue from it, pay for backups if it has sentimental value then think about paying for backups
hard drives go bad all the time so if you're going to back up to hard disk and its important buy a few external ones and keep them in different locations
most products produced in the last 100 some years need dozens to thousands of smaller inventions. someone making a cool new wireless algorithm may never build a business around it, but licensing it to existing companies is a way to get compensated.
have professional photogs take hundreds of photos of the president choose the worst one due to facial shape or mouth while he was talking or doing something
have the blogs call him an idiot and back it up by bad looking pictures
i've traveled on airplanes since the early 1990's and security is mostly the same. we still had metal detectors and wands back then too
big differences now are more scrutiny of electronics that most people simply didn't have back then and taking off your shoes. otherwise i would get rid of all the metal before the metal detector back then too because i got the wand
making simple games in UNITY doesn't require much math, but doing stuff like creating new engines or modifying the engine like in the AAA titles requires math. or actually creating the engine and coding in NEW FEATURES in for the first time requires math. how do you think all those new features get into UNITY and UNREAL in the first place?
not like the boxes to add a light source and have it bounce off water appears by magic
let the ISP's charge a few hundred a month for people who torrent and p2p all the time. the same people will scream how its unfair, the end of the world and how we need a system where the cost is spread out among all the customers
they admitted that one of their CSRs didn't follow the rules
everyone here writes bugs with code and works it out over time. lots of times in production. but someone else makes a mistake and its time to burn them at the stake.
samsung's icons are very similar with the iphone in a few cases, almost exact. if Moto, HTC and others can make skins that don't look like the iphone then samsung can as well
hackers grab his info from whois because he has a personal site from blogging they use that to hack his amazon account and then use the info from amazon to hack icloud
if he had just used wordpress or blogger or some other cloud service this hack would have been A LOT harder. it's 2012, no need to reinvent the wheel by setting up your own server for email, web site photo sharing or the 20 other things that da cloud has made easier and more secure. he just wanted to be uber tech cool and show off how he can run his own site and waste time managing it instead of letting someone else do it
i remember droughts and crazy hot weather from the 80's. remember We Are the World? they raised a lot of money for an Ethiopian famine. US Midwest was almost a constant drought in the 80's as well as yearly flooding by the Mississippi wiping out people's homes

that's nice

and if you have kids its missing disney channel as well. i think Fox and CBS were also missing

apple losing the trial would be worth it just to see what macdailynews.com would have to say about it

there is your ROI
we just found a monetization of the google cloud. sell the data of who is doing what to the spy networks including corporate espionage
it seems this thing is like credit data. companies give up the data in exchange for a credit score and risk profiling
same here. seems like private companies will be giving up their security cam and other data in exchange for security services

so WTF is Elop getting out of this from ballmer to be his minion?
why would he run the company this way unless MS is feeding him some secret slush fund $$$

lots of cartoon animal names you can use
who says you have to use real answers to these questions?
LG Prada was crap and based on crappy Brew OS. the nice thing about the iphone was that it was the first phone that was based on a real computer OS
its a design patent
samsung's icons are very similar with the iphone in a few cases, almost exact. if Moto, HTC and others can make skins that don't look like the iphone then samsung can as well
i don't have an imac but i've ready that apple uses very high quality displays for them and that dell sells a similar monitor for $800 or so
sure you can build something cheaper, but you aren't saving anything if you cheapen out on the monitor
