Well then as an American, I would say he should go to Greece.
(Because I don't want him coming here and bankrupting my country. We don't need any more help!) (But even if he came here, he's not like it, you actually have to work 50 weeks out of the year)
I had a Atrix, and ditched it for an N9 it was so bad. I love the N9 even though it's not as fancy as Android. Yesterday I was watching someone use MotoBlur at a party is it was still jarring after not seeing it for months. The degree of emotional response surprised even me, it wasn't my phone any longer yet I cringed, then felt sorry for the user.
On top of that, Motorola just had too many products to ever be able to support them right. How it takes over a year to port to ICS is beyond me, when may of the components are similar or the same to what they are using in ICS devices.
The windows 8 game plan is the game plan for success in the mobile (phone) arena. They developed an alternative paradigm do differentiate themselves in the phone market, but they only have 4% of the sales. By forcing the mobile metro UI on everyone, they increase apathy for their Windows Phone products.
It makes perfect sense when you have a failing product, but dominant market share.
Get your GNOME 3.2 / KDE 4.9 distributions ready. (I like Mint myself...) And buy Valve stock (you can't).
* Always have a "New, Better" way of doing things: Win32, MFC,.NET, Windows forms, WPF, Silverlight, Now whatever Win8 metro apps are in.
* You can develop on the platform for free, but they make it hard. "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!" And they want to charge us to develop on their platform? Contrast to free development on all other platforms. Eclipse alone is reason enough.
That reason alone is why people should switch to Qt. I remember when in 2001 MS Posix support was jsut good enough that you could write posix programs in windows and unix. Then they came out with.NET, which re-invented the wheel, which has Windows Forms and WPF and old school MFC ways of making an app. (Java did it too with Swing and AWT). Qt now has two itself - C++ and QML, but the idea is they don't skin the same kind of cat.
With MS you have to continually learn the latest and greatest. With Qt you never have to.
It doesn't really matter Qt is under open governance. And if the toolkit is failed to be released, it all goes BSD. So begin that speculation. If MS "killed" Qt, it would free it. MS has two possible position here: 1. Qt as LGPL or commercial. This limits Qt more than: 2. Qt as BSD. A top-notch C++ library that runs on all platforms would be competition to.NET.
I believe that #2 is the worst outcome for MS, especially given their failing position in approval (Win 8, Win Phone). The only benefit to #2 for MS is they can run Qt themselves, but they won't because.NET is their baby.
For those of your lucky enough to have friended family teens on FB, or maybe you are one, but if you haven't noticed there are a ton of entities out there making teen-oriented versus-oriented info graphics that encourage "like" or "share" (i.e. iphone: like, blakberry: share). I figure this has to be a not-so-elaborate way of getting info on users preferences. But the teenage demographic seems targeted. And all this has to be a reason. There's also the get "2000 friends posts" just by liking this.
I want to know what our family members are really doing by participating. How is this information being used?
They don't have to worry about data centers, they essentially have infinite storage. They do have to operate a database, but entries to stuff is much less than holding the stuff itself.
Everyone runs a cloud storage service (CSS) on their own computer(s). This service functions as a repository of all things yours, but has peer functionality, so my laptops can replicate what is on my SAN. So the same laptop does not always need to be on. Services (applications) can be assigned read/write permissions. Every cloud application provider (facebook etc) functions as a proxy. I tell the CSS to peer to facebook, and they use a mechanism similar to DHCP to negotiate the current location of the CSS. Facebook stores nothing. If I close the app account (facebook account) I can revoke all the access for the application. I still have all my data.
Since the CSS is just an application using standard interfaces, there's no reason why I can't partner with google to provide the storage service if I do not want to maintain my own. But this is my choice, and I always have my data.
The company would be so much better if there weren't so many users!
As a AT&T customer I'm accustomed to being at any event - from stadium games and music festivals, having 4 bars and not being able to use the network. I guess I can understand because you never know where a stadium will pop up and when people might go there.
I remember Virgin Fest added capacity for Virgin Mobile, but everyone else was SOL.
We should make the fine exist for anyone filing false DMCA claims. The law only states that they may be liable for court costs and lawyer fees, but lets make a $50,000 civil penalty too.
There is a provision that for fraudulent DMCA take-down that there is a penalty of $500. We should increase this to $50,000 immediately to prevent future abuses.
Short of a radioactive material and toxins, something sitting around does no harm. It is only when something is used that it can do harm. This revolution in manufacturing shows how untenable the approach of "banning" something is. We have to dispense with the idea that prevention of possession is a crime or even possible, and focus solely on damaging uses. In this way we have all the rights and all the responsibility to exercise freedom.
As a machinists son and myself a software engineer, what is happening is with self-fabrication (CNC/file) you have to engineer the piece yourself, within the right tolerences. With 3D printing, you can download a model where all of that is already done for you, and just hit the print button. Maybe you can get the CAD file but you also have to get your hands on the machine, the space, the material and the software and know how to operate it all. The 3D printing in process isn't much different except all of that except for the material, everything is free or substantially lower in cost.
Also note a milling machine has limited axises. A 3D printer has no need for the concept, but instead has minimum detail and minimum wall thickness.
In short the old way is a lto mroe expensive and complicated than 'download, print'.
Research has been done such that if you know the layout, of the network you can create a good idea of where geographically an IP is based on its ping time from nearest teleco router.
On Earth, it's relatively simple to maintain an aquarium. In space... I hae no idea. Aquariums use several things: -Filters (impeller based canister filter will work in space.) -bubblers for dissolved gases. -food
The biggest question for me, is how do you get good gasses in (O2, CO2 if a planted aqurium) and bad gasses out of the aquarium. On earth, the gasses interact with the surface. In space there is no surface. You can't just pump more gasses in without raising the pressure. What do you do with ammonia and water changes? How do you get a dead fish out? You can't open the aquarium?
When you hire a MS board member as your CEO. Nokia (Corporate) knew what they were getting. What they didn't know is how awesome their technologies were. I fully expect Jolla to succeed where Nokia failed, then watch as Nokia bails on MS and buys Jolla (and their own technology back)
Clearly the iP5 is going to be a let-down on the hardware side. There's just not much left to include/improve that isn't already. So what is next? it's going to have to be cloud-based service integration. Apple is strongly positioned for this, better than the other hardware manufactures. Fully cloud-enabling iOS6 will be the next innovation. Then there are a few problems that creates: 1. Hardware manufactures can't follow because they will be cloud-locked to the vendor's cloud. Once you pick a vendor, you're stuck in their cloud. Apple has enough cloud services to be the clear best choice for cloud services. But for Motorola? You're stuck in MotoCloud, so that Samsung Nexus purchase is going to be a problem. 2. Cloud innovation is easy. Adding it to the OS is pretty trivial so Google can add Google's cloud services. So this isn't anything the hardware manufacturers can compete on. So Google's gets all the traffic, and the rising tide raises all ships. If you want to innovate faster than Google, then you're back at 1. 3. And we all know how good vendors are with timely Android OS upgrades...
Winner: Apple. But if Google was more assertive it could get the Alliance back together and give Apple a run for it's money. But it won't if it hasn't by now.

I mean, the lag is going to be on par with SSH in to a terrestrial server with my AT&T service and cell phone.
There is. Digia has varied interests. And increasing Qt licenses is one of them.
You mean QML. :-)
