earlier in the year the apple tv had a silent update to a 32nm A5 CPU. one core is disabled which means these are reject chips and apple is helping samsung with their 32nm transition. the ipad 3 is a 45nm A5 CPU.
so no, apple is not leaving samsung any time soon. the A5 CPU is mostly samsung with some apple changes. apple can't just leave either. no matter what clueless ifanboys who think apple designs everything scream on the internet
if you have nothing better to do in life than sit around and inhale a drug to "get high" and have psychodelic hallucinations then you're probably not destined for greatness
nope, check the patent office. samsung and everyone else gets a design patent on everything they make. the number is prefixed with a D and its a special patent.
you send photos to the patent office and your design is protected. the shape of the handles, exact layout of the interior, etc. anything that makes your product stand out in the store
check the patent office. samsung and everyone else have the same design patents on everything they sell. samsung has one on a refrigerator of all things. everyone has patented the rectangle and every other shape
when the flyover country people stop legislating the farm welfare, yarn museums and locking out imports like ethanol just to send money their way i'll support a USF broadband fund. as it is now most of the government welfare and pork money goes to the least populated places. the same tea party people screaming about independence, small government and whatever
there are always lots of people in the garage making up similar ideas. why did apple come out on top in the 80's? what about MS? why is youtube so popular and the other video sites of the time are history.
corporate money and connections to take the idea to the next level
one of my kids had pnemonia and one of the best pediatricians in NYC couldn't diagnose it for a few days because the exact symptoms didn't appear for a few days after the fever first started. at first he thought it was a virus
you have to spend money on R&D, FDA approval, complying with all kinds of regulations selling to the government, bulk discounts. very little profit on vaccines
no, the developer will just have a very constrained usage scenario for the no security hole policy. the NSA has proved that you can make Windows and Linux secure, its just going to be a pain in the a$$ to use and annoying to do the simplest things.
youtube and other video content you can kind of organize the routing by having dedicated circuits to the providers and using CDN's. and that's mostly download traffic.
with facetime AT&T will be looking at much higher upload data rates with the potential of increased cost as they have to pay termination fees to Comcast and other network providers that will increase their costs.
no i'm storing 2TB and sometimes more on an LTO tape. when i first noticed i couldn't believe but i asked around on some backup forums and people said that its true. LTO tapes will frequently store a lot more data than they are rated for.
i'm using an HP MSL 8096. except for a bunch of bad drives that were replaced under warranty i haven't had stuck tapes or any other problems. if i need to pull a tape out i look in Netbackup for the tape # and slot #. issue the command to unlock the magazines. pull them out. pull tape out. takes a few minutes total time.
i buy HP branded LTO-4 tapes for $30 each. maybe $32. they are so cheap and store so much i don't rotate that much. just on data that we don't need past 6 months. i buy 40 tapes per year. i even have a secret stash of backups with a lot more data than i send offsite. its cheaper buying LTO-4 tapes than calling the backup company to bring back a tape the next day. even if its only once a year.
and i remember calling PHB and asking for 300 DLT tapes which cost $25,000 back in the day
most of my 1000 some tapes are ancient DLT. i have about 40 LT-4 tapes in storage. even by itself that is like $800 per month if you figure 2TB on average.
the $2000 monthly charge includes shipping off site. guy comes once a month and i give him a tape. takes a few minutes. what labor cost? takes 5 minutes to take it out of the robot.
and the above doesn't include another 100TB archive i have as well at 10TB or so of tapes that i rotate for some other backups for archives.
that's what makes it so cool. onsite tape robots are boring. streaming the data over the internet and waiting on the cloud to restore your backup is the awesomeness
specs say 1.6TB max compressed but i've seen my tapes hold 3TB and 4TB. LTO-5 is even better but too expensive.
PHB is always complaining about the cost of our off site storage so this made me look at it right away. and LTO4 is fast if you have decent server hardware

they are as dumb and dense as rocks

i've seen S2's on sale at $99
i doubt samsung cares that much since these were on their way out anyway and they have newer products coming out to replace these
no samsung is involved in design patent lawsuits about christmas lights and other things. its just not hyped

nope, even the legit online reviews are dumb. ever read the ones on newegg?

Duh
Problem solved in a common sense way
Amazon and apple sell un drm music so that's not an issue
These guys bill at $1200 an hour for the top ones and a few hundred for the peon lawyers.
its the driver
same concept as the supermarket check out line magazines and other trinkets. that stuff is high margin.
newegg and amazon do the same thing with suggested add ons. geeks fall for it as well just different products
revenue not profits

just like the right wingers said there was
and add to the fact that the small towns hate big companies and make them fund yarn museums for the privilege of running their lines

but most of the good apps and games aren't available in the uganda google play store

WTF is your data center made of? wood and paper?
everything is fire proof these days
nope

i can see this working for smallish businesses
