I can see future products do a version check and declare incompatibility regardless if it is truthful. As in games that check let alone BR discs that invoke the drm scheme engineering fail.
and they have learned well. They can intimidate without actually having to do anything. They can intimidate and then allow others to do for them what they cannot or would not do. They can intimidate and now act on it because of ease of travel and even easier time recruiting in the target lands.
They know how to exploit the press. The know how to exploit local laws, if this show was produced in Canada it could be shut down by registering complaint with the government.
Coming into the 21st century isn't their problem, the problem is we refuse to do anything about them because too many have some guilt for actions taking by others generations ago. Or worse, some just have the need to feel superior by showing their restraint and "understanding" which is far more insulting to them.
Comedy Central and South Park chickened out by putting him into a costume.
Wait till the majority finds out how plush federal, state, local, and school, retirements are and how much of a debt bomb we have coming up funding programs that would cause so much angst if there were in the private areas, especially those bailed out.
I know you might have tried to be witty, but when push comes to shove you can guarantee that three areas will be cut to make the pain unbearable
1. Schools 2. Police 3. Fire
Politicians know what buttons to push. Look at NJ for what uncontrolled spending does to a state and the actions needed to fix it.
while you and a few others will decide the pen is too small someone else will come along and call you barbaric for what you accept. Some may decide that one size permits too much movement which somehow injures the cow. Another might decide its painted the wrong color, get what I mean? There is permanent goal, meet one and they will make another or move it further out.
No farmer wants animals harmed or raised in unsafe manners, it is not cost effective. On a farm with a few thousand head of cattle it ain't hard to find an animal who is not healthy or into a situation you could not predict.
As far as the quip about big corporations and cubes, spend less time ranting and more time starting your own business. Oh, I forgot, ranting is so much easier. There is a reason why so many are employed by big corporations, it is because it is far easier to let someone else make the decisions for you and take the risk for you. This is the same reason why many have no problem giving up their personal and financial freedom to the government for the coddling they believe they receive in return.
We seem to put more care into the well being of animals than ourselves.
The choice is easy, there are so many roadblocks between us and getting to Mars with manned spacecraft they never have to actually do it. Set grand sounding goals to distract from the fact you never intend to meet them. This keeps people happy. It is a typical Obama speech, full on promises and no substance. He is a master at it, or I should say his speech writers are amazing - he usually has great delivery.
Look, we can get to the moon easily compared to Mars. The problem is we can put a real price on the Moon and they don't want to pay it. We cannot put an exact price on Mars but I guarantee when they do its off.
Because we have a system built on the idea of coercing people to behave a certain way than a system which encourages productivity, savings, and the like. A system which allows petty government bureaucrats to punish or reward particular constituencies on near whim. Hence we are saddled with such a complex system that billions are spent by the government to administer it and billions more by individuals and companies to comply with it.
and in the end, we still spend nearly 40% more than we take in.
because the iPhone sold like hotcakes the fist few months and then sales went flat till Apple corrected the price. Of course after outcry they refunded some money to early buyers.
I think the iPad is a great idea with some serious setbacks, like not being viewable in sunlight easily... but the price turns me off completely. $500? Get real. Make a 16 at 299, and +100 for each doubling.
oh... and can we have a version which works outdoors in bright light please!
The Atlanta Journal Constitution; the primary newspaper in Atlanta Georgia, basically declared his guilt in connection to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing. It was a disgusting display of using the power of the press to make the public think one way.
The LCD is not sunlight readable, it is another fashion over function device
USB support, lack there of.
Actually the first is the real killer. I will not buy something that only works indoors or should I say, is usable only where the light isn't bright and the glare can be minimized. Sorry, having to change the devices orientation based on lighting sources while even INDOORS is usability bullshit.
Damn, why is it the majority of upcoming computing devices practically require you to be indoors? Basement dwellers rejoice, your new freedom empowering computing/etc device is optimized for work under the stairs.
My marine GPS is perfectly legible in direct sunlight, let alone rugged enough to get a bit wet. Hell I would be afraid to take an iPad outside, less it get wet or too hot, totally disregarding the fact I cannot read it unless I held it above my head to block the sun
damn if they aren't doing a good job apologizing for putting NASA on the back burner. Effectively ending US leadership in space is about the sum of it, with all the required "forward looking" related buzzwords. Yet for every politico speak buzzword fest there is the followup of "no long range plan"
In other words, there ain't money for rocket science. Really, until some other nation lays claim to the moon or really starts being pushy in space our space program is going to be full of double talk and expectations. So, uh, yeah, they have the resources now to develop x,y, and z. Well duh, your not doing any expensive launches your bound to have money for other things. The problem is, research is not exciting to the public. It does not capture the imagination. So NASA will fall further from the public's eye which will make it easier to keep marginalizing it.
It does not generate sufficient votes in an entitlement first generation. Why spend money to go to the moon when we can use the money to provide entitlements which generate votes which keeps us safely in office.
Hell, NASA's budget ain't larger than a rounding error in the overall scheme of things. To tell the American public with a straight face there ain't money to do that is astounding. Whats worse are all the people running to defend it. We just spent more money shoring up some major banks than we spent in the last ten years on the space program! The stimulus package had more pork than NASA has budget.
What those articles do is nothing more than spew a well rehearsed apology for going nowhere.
heaven knows what he was doing with it, I doubt that wifi was available while moving let alone public in his range...
seen conversions for it into various vehicles on the net...
hell if anything cars are becoming filled with too many distractions, my friends cx7 has more than a dozen buttons on the steering wheel! Ford is equipping newer cars with customizable displays, some that are interactive through, you guessed it, steering wheel controls. These are at the same line as the speedometer, which means eyes off the road.
People already play with GPS devices because automakers make them easy to use while driving, yet since the majority respond to touch you have to take your eyes off the road.
Distracted driving now seems to be a feature of cars.
So you have the ability to use up your allotment faster, big deal, if they have it in their contract that they may restrict your access if you exceed a published cap then I cannot see how anyone has a problem.
Before chiming back, "its not there", post it as well.
No, I am not with Verizon, then again I don't believe in paying any phone company that wants me on a contract.
iPad's customer is big media. It is not us. Oh sure, many of us love the idea of the iPad but honestly look who is benefiting most from it. e-Book sellers now get to raise prices, even Amazon caved on this and many originally thought Amazon to be a bunch of money grubbing jerks for charging so much for an e-Book. Hell, Apple handed their end users right into the hands of the new consumer, big media, and the end users are rejoicing at being bent over a barrel.
So of course Murdoch loves it, a whole slew of new ways for us to transfer money to them and their friends. And we will be happy for it because we will look so cool at Starbucks and the student centers.
when it can easily change to meet the needs of those in power.
Go look at our own government, state and federal levels. The current forfeiture laws show to what extent the governments at various levels will twist the law to get what they want. So, I guess adherence comes down to the meaning of what is is.
especially sunlight. Sorry but with this type of device I was really hoping I could use it outdoors without fearing the light. No go. Sorry its abysmal. It also has the problem of not being viewable in page format with polarized lenses, landscape was fine. When I borrowed my friends Kindle I found I could read outside just fine. Let alone the weight, sorry but it really amazes me how much it gets to you over time.
I don't need another device that is trapped indoors. Summer is almost upon us and I don't want something I fear leaving in the sun, let alone using with the sun out. I guess I can sit under the umbrella but really, my marine GPS is beautiful in sunlight, why can't we have an iPad for the outdoors instead of basement dwellers?
just because your Open Source doesn't somehow mean your friendly and cuddly.
I would sue a competitor too. I am quite sure IBM would not be in such a hissy if you were not charging, hell they might never have noticed you. Your using twists in words to offer an product which may or not may violate the licensing terms a customer of IBM has over the use their hardware and software. I mean, reading your own pages it looks like your trying too hard to say your doing something while not doing something bad.
The same reason it will take three or more attempts to get the Extended version out on Blu-Ray
Because there is money in it.

or Student Center.
I expect them in droves at my local Starbucks. iPhones used to be all the rage until Droid came along, but still its only Apple user's who seem the need to have their laptops out reading mail. I fully expect iPads to be very evident.
Its like the 40k a year person who wants to look rich by driving a BMW. Sure its flashy but whats underneath?
So they cut deals with them and it trickles down in smacking us the paying customers who used to use their service and use other services. In other words, they came to the realization that real money is making deals with publishers of content, not the users. This causes the publishers to lean hard on anyone moving their product as they can hold "Apple" up as an example saying well we have Apple on our side and we don't really need you.
because I am a single male living in a child heavy subdivision I have a good dose of paranoia. See I have dogs. Well the yard is fenced and what do kids always want to do. Play with the dogs. While I know most of the kids parents some will bring a friend whom I don't know. I let the kids play with the dogs in the fenced yard; its large; and I maintain a healthy distance, usually sitting on the back porch. I can then keep an eye on the dogs and kids without having to worry about someone wondering.

it is very self explanatory.
No one, one any condition, meaning employers too, can force you into an implant.
Frankly I am all for restrictions being codified in law
and they have learned well. They can intimidate without actually having to do anything. They can intimidate and then allow others to do for them what they cannot or would not do. They can intimidate and now act on it because of ease of travel and even easier time recruiting in the target lands.

that sounds right up their alley, complete with rubber mosquitoes.
Top it off with about forty seven minutes of commercials per hour and...
which fooled many into believing they would offer quad core processors in their laptops.
Granted Intel needs to be slapped for having both share the same names. The angst over this little issue on some boards is truly hilarious
