i'm shocked. cigarretes are known to constrict blood and oxygen flow. i bet people who smoke are limiting the blood and oxygen flow to their brain and this results in lower IQ results.
it's not the tobacco since a lot of smart people smoke cigars. it's the extras like uranium, polonium and hundreds of other chemicals that the tobacco companies spray on cigarretes that are really bad for you
what exactly is Amazon supposed to do here? unless it's something clearly illegal like kiddie porn their model is not to take sides and let people sell their content
for us people that have procreated and have ankle biters there are cool apps like a Dora coloring book, board games and others you can run spending time with your kids. $500 upfront investment and a low per app price is pretty good compared to $30 for a physical board game where half the pieces will be lost and that will make a mess.
and i bet once all the old classic geek board games start to hit the iPad, geeks won't care about it being locked down
like i said, Apple doesn't care about videos. they care about the ability to code a game or some other app with flash and have it run on OS X, Iwhatever, Windows, Android, Pre, blackberry, etc. this makes it easier to ditch the iWhatever when someone releases something better.
But with over 50 million iWhatever's in people's hands and the only way to code applications and games is via the SDK it makes the risk/reward different. A lot of sucesses in the app store like Tapulous. Apple is courting developers even with their sometimes crazy stunts like banning apps when Steve wakes up with a hangover. There are even real studies out there that show that you get better monetization via the app store than on Android.
Now say you want to port an app to another platform. you have to get the SDK, spend time to code, maybe pay people a lot of money to code it for another platform and then hope to make some money. If Apple supported Flash then you can just write your game in Flash and have it work on any device. but with no flash on apple devices you have to recode your iWhatever app and take a financial risk of losing money.
Don't listen to Steve Jobs. he lies through his teeth every time he speaks. it's all about money and learning from history to protect your business.
the strength of Flash is that it's like Java. you write once and the content will play anywhere with a flash plugin, which is almost every OS and soon to be device. Apple doesn't care about videos, they care about the flash apps and games. if they can lock people into the iTunes system to code for the iphone/ipod/ipad then developers won't code for another platform unless there is money to be made to recoup the investment. Flash makes it easier for a start up device maker to displace Apple's market dominance since it cuts the development time and cost.
Google wants to know everything you do. from the user opinions i've read about the Nexus One it sounds like Google is doing the same thing there. Along with Google Wave. they want to know everything you type in and keep a record of it
when i did a year of consulting for a US Army agency years ago, it seemed like almost everyone wanted their own personal printer. most people thought they were too good to share a printer with the 50 other people on the floor. so they probably bought inkjets for all the cry babies who wanted their own printer

welcome to the cloud. for the last few months it has taken me 10 seconds just to delete a hundred emails at a time from gmail. you get your.000000001% of computing time, say thank you and go on your way.
this is why i like my fat clients like the iphone. i can download and view everything on my client and not worry about if it's raining or snowing in the cloud
there is more to a smart phone than email and constant searches on Google. Iphone ships with local storage and a nice SDK. Android would be a lot better if Google hadn't crippled the app capability so you are forced to do everything online
when they arrested the boss of bosses in Sicily a few years ago he was in a farmhouse running from the cops and sleeping in a different house every night. this guy lived in a basement. why do people choose a life where they have millions of $$$/Euros but have to live where they can't show it off and like they are poor?
it's a lot cheaper to configure your MS Exchange AV filter software to just delete every exe file that comes in rather than spend a ton of money on layer 7 switches along with the support. and we started this before we bought the 5 levels of firewalls we have now. still works pretty good
where i work we've been blocking a long list of email attachments like exe's and others. few years ago we also started blocking facebook.
i set it up years ago and don't remember myself. we're all windows and have never been zombified. you can buy all the firewalls you want, but in the end it's still idiots clicking on everything in every email and every link they get sent over facebook and twitter
we have a system where by law health providers have to treat you but you don't have to pay them. kind of like Apple having to give everyone iphones but people can choose not to pay.
most of these people were small business owners and independent contractors who chose to buy bigger cars, etc instead of health insurance. now they will be forced to buy insurance.
sounds like they spent a lot of money. what is the difference in spending the money on OSS compared to MS software? the software might be free, but it sounds like you will spend the same amount of money on making everything work like it did before with the same functionality
i've run the desktop version of VMWare on my laptop and it's very slow compared to the VT version of Windows XP Mode on the same laptop.
it's the same old complaints. people want a feature but if it's not supported in hardware and runs extremely slow they will scream on the internets how stupid microsoft is for making it so slow on 6 year old hardware that otherwise runs Windows 7 very well
you do realize that Vista and Vista SP2 are almost totally different operating systems under the hood? Vista SP2 was the first to desktop windows to use the same server kernel. Windows 7 is just an extension of that. Google Mini Win. MS knew that Win2000/2003/XP of putting everything in the kernel was a bad idea around 2001 and started a project to make WIndows more UNIX like and modular. Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 are the first products from that project.
the new Xeon 5600's run at less power than previous CPU's. and SSD's also run a lot cooler. how much does this liquid cooling enclosure cost and what is the performance compared to just upgrading your hardware?
HP is going to ship their Xeon 5600 servers starting on the 29th

everyone knows that everyone only wants to buy these devices to run arcane command line text commands and not have fun
coding for mobile browsers is worse than IE/Firefox. too many differences. easier to just make an app that can be downloaded by 50 million some ifans

you are always going to pay for it. about time that we stopped the system of some people getting "insurance" only when they get sick
