good thing they have an ipad app because there is no way i can figure out what i can actually watch on this thing via the website. at least Roku has a list of apps that i can easily find on the site
why would i go to this mechanic person? the last 8 years i bought a new toyota or honda an average of once every 2 years and the only thing i've done was change the oil and rotate the tires at the dealership. a monkey could do these things.
going forward it's going to be once every 3.5 years for a new car, but still why should i go to this mechanic person? in my experience my cars work like they should every day
Apple has Final Cut for the prosumer and wannabe pro Avid is the pro software market people like me use imovie or adobe something which is like $100 and includes the adobe version of iphoto whatever the name is
video editing software is a mature market. unless you are making some cool plug in or your software does something really cool that the big boys don't do you are screwed
his lawyers convinced an appeals court that coding for a system meant to buy and sell stock across state and international borders wasn't "interstate commerce"
I suspect congress is going to amend this law soon
yes in iOS 5. but i've been using this for 3 years now and it does some things that stock safari doesn't. and i still keep my history in safari so i have to type 2 seconds less
i have a few browsers on my iphone including a private browser. i've had it for years since before apple put the functionality into iOS. All it does is ride on top of stock safari on the iphone but creates a private browsing session.
i've noticed that some searches i did in the private browser come up as past searches in stock safari and on my laptop. which means that google is probably reading the UIDID or whatever it's called and using it to correlate users across devices even if they don't log into google
the way it worked in the past is the US pioneers some new tech and the asians "steal" it with cheap copies, patent theft or idiocy on the part of US corporate management. back in the 80's by the time US companies won patent battles for consumer electronics they lost the market
apple, MS and google learned from the past. i like it that a US company rules consumer electronics and is keeping the asians from stealing their market
Once a year we get some proof of concept iOS hack that never goes anywhere. and once a month there is a story of millions of people infected with android malware right from the android market
and are there any apps with dropbox integration? there are lots of apps out there that have dropbox built in so you can automatically save data there without manually moving files. same with iCloud
i doubt they will stop selling Intel based MBP's. this will probably be for a lower end laptop for the $500 laptop market.
as it is now a $500 laptop about $200 goes to Intel/MS for the hardware and OS. add in the screen and other hardware. the margins on them are razor thin. it take 8 cheap HP laptops to equal the profit of one MBP.
If apple can make a $500 laptop that does the basic tasks for most people it's all over for Intel/MS in the lower end laptop market. Internet, email, basic games, basic apps. there will still be $2000 MBP's for photochop and xcode and other big tasks but for most people a $500 apple laptop will be a killer deal
and there will tens of thousands of apps at launch with the mac app store and iOS app store
no, historically innovators like Henry Ford are narrow thinkers and stubborn. even steve jobs made a lot of wrong decisions and had to be convinced by others to change his mind
innovators come up with a cool new idea but never expand it for the mass market. the copycats like steve jobs, zynga and Alfred Sloan are the ones that make it popular
yes, they went to google plus where you are supposed to "circle" bloggers and other internet superstars and comment on every post about how cool they are. and you are supposed to +1 crap around the internet to help google battle evil SEOs
the growth is not in users but marketing to users. 1. people buy crap that they see other people using. all the apps like foursquare are there to bombard you with ideas of where to shop 2. data. spending a million $$$ on TV ads for 18-49 age group is old school. 21st century is to target your ads to specific groups of people. facebook has the data to allow marketers to do that
the other day i installed the shopkick app on my iphone. it's kind of like foursquare. i linked it to my facebook and checked out some of the specials. TrU is running a special on lego star wars sets. and by coincidence my 4 year old has been on a lego star wars binge lately.
from the leaked financials last year facebook is making money. I think it was $250 million or so NET profit on revenues of $1.5 BILLION.
for a lot of people facebook is the new contact list and has replaced email for most communication. my gmail is my spam/marketing honeypot these days and social networks are used for communication.
but then again geeks and techies are usually the last ones to GET trends like this.

too bad for her the law is that you have to turn over evidence of your crime to the police if they find out you have it

Only the geeks still worship pc type computers
Most of us moved on to smartphones and tablets. And a MacBook if we feel like splurging for a new computer
Mac sales are growing at double digit rates and pc sales declining
he didn't take a log, he took the algorith and source code that took years to develop and which was meant to be used only internally
this is like a Moto engineer taking a new antenna or radio noise reduction algorithm and going to apple with it hoping to get paid $$$$$

I only ask because Apple is the largest flash customer/reseller in the world and they just bought this company
who cares
for the $80 a year membership to amazon prime and the cheap prices on some of the TV content it's well worth it
Windows 95 made some huge GUI advances but ever since then when a new version of Windows comes out everyone seems to want it to look different.
same with ipad and iphone. it's like people want a new design every year. if the current one works aesthetically and technically what's the point?

So if the content sucks then why pirate it?

this involves spending money to support games that have already been sold
the smart way is to turn off the servers
load into truck
move to new DC
unload
rack them
turn on and change configs
sure people can't play the game but the revenue is ours already. not like they can return it
Of making $150 seem to be over
take a look at the facebook page, DC will win
except that hollywood copied the padd idea from the tablet concept that had been around a lot longer
