i have an iphone 5 and a Galaxy S3 that i use both daily. there isn't one thing my iphone doesn't do that i do with my Galaxy that is paid for by my employer
there is no slow pace of change with apple since the other guys aren't doing anything spectacular either.
last year there were stories floating around that Intel wants to go into the foundry business. only because their manufacturing is so efficient that especially with the new processes being able to turn out so many CPU's per wafer they will have spare space in their fabs not producing revenue
Ultrabooks have been around since the 90's. only thing that changed is that intel is now making decent ultra low voltage CPU's and they use flash memory instead of HDD. otherwise Sony used to make some PHB happy laptops in 2000 and 2001 that were thin. PHB's loved them for travel
at WWDC Apple had a quick preview of some car systems running iOS that will integrate with iphones using Siri and whatever else. Honda will have this on their 2014 models
they used to do this in the military decades ago. the result was that lots of soldiers would get robbed on pay day. the thieves would wait for them outside the base
Apple can't just order 100 million cpu's from someone. You need the infrastructure and supply chain to be able to meet the orders. And you don't dare drop existing customers
It's taking apple five years to diversify its suppliers which is about average for a company their size
Apple's capital expenses have been huge lately which most likely means they are buying the machinery for their suppliers to make their stuff for them
apple tv is only $99. if you want to play games on the TV you buy an apple tv and use airplay to stream to your TV. some games are even coded to display data on the iphone or ipad and the picture on the TV like the Wii
the whole idea is that for $499 you get a device you can take anywhere and does gaming, internet, books, movies, tv, music, email and other things. instead of a $399 or $499 console that is locked to the TV
two in fact. they are called the iphone and the ipad. the ipad version has the graphical power of an xbox 360 and some games like real racing take advantage of it.
the Apple TV is a cheapo device to allow you to stream the games to your TV along with some streaming options
Apple is not going to sell a full game console because 1. game consoles have this problem of being locked to a TV. you can't play on the train to work 2. the "real gamer" market is a minority now. there are tens of thousands of iOS games out there. lots of them make more money than the real console games. 3. apple uses the same parts in all products. building a special console means a more powerful chip with a limited manufacturing run. apple is not going to do it 4. a more powerful Apple TV is going to cost more money and sell less units. apple uses flash memory. you can't have a good console with 16GB flash
one of the selling points of sql server and oracle is you can backup the database directly while its running. you can backup the database, by separate files and file groups
SQL server you can even have the database online during a restore. you restore the main file group and then the others. all the data may not be there, but the database will be able to server applications with some data. you can always move your tables around so that the most important ones get restored first
with SQL server on decent hardware from the last 2-3 years you can backup a database during business hours and your users will never know. i do it all the time
like i install an agent, set a policy on the backup server and have it backup to my tape library automatically without dumping the data to another storage device?
lots of third party backup programs support Oracle and SQL server to back up the databases online
last i looked at mysql you had to shut down the database or dump it to another db and then backup the file. too expensive to do this on a 200Gb database sitting on a SAN

before video games kids played cowboys and indians. we learned at an early age to kill off the idiots trying to kick us off their land
None
Smart tv's are smart about reaching into your wallet after the purchase
All they
ultrabook is only a reality because flash is cheaper now along with a ULV CPU
otherwise its still a thin laptop with long battery life that is only useful for email and similar tasks
so you say that UPS and Fedex don't keep records of every shipment they process?

you have to be using it in your hands. my iphone hooks into my car via a USB port and plays music. the steering wheel controls can control the device.
and by NY State law its also illegal to use your phone while at a red light. you have to pull over and park to use it without a hands free device
so upgrade to the highest tier service that month
what do you need it for every day?
FIOS is 15/5 in NYC for the cheapest tier. why would i want something faster? netflix needs 3-5 mbps
sounds like working as an amazon warehouse worker
how do you pay your rent with a debit card?
a check you can deposit into a bank without a fee

No, the galaxy s3 is slower than my iPhone 5. I have both phones and use them daily. The s3 is laggy compared to my iPhone.

If you are spending most of your budget on the insane precious metals support contracts then you are wasting money
If you are always sprawling out new hardware for every new requirement then you are wasting money
For lots of organizations it's easy to cut costs and get more for your money
Last few years we went from 30 some database servers to a dozen at most
Modern hardware is insanely powerful and you get a huge bang for the buck consolidating a few servers onto a single machine

so which backup programs support mysql natively
like i install an agent, set a policy on the backup server and have it backup to my tape library automatically without dumping the data to another storage device?
lots of third party backup programs support Oracle and SQL server to back up the databases online

I have a bugaboo
It's over $1000 with the accessories and the escalade of baby strollers. And my 2 year old is like 38 pounds
