Well, yes, but that isn't really a power-saving solution.
Besides, don't you think that leaving all your personal data on a 24/7 server is a bit risky?
Around 2000, I had one of these.
Technically speaking, it could do the same as a modern smartphone can do nowadays, but these things didn't catch on until there was faster mobile internet access.
I am probably missing the point, but why can't we have one agent controlling and dividing the cake according to the requests it receives?
That would result in an envy-free an proportional allocation.
I find the use of words like "cake" and "mousse" very confusing for someone who is not active in that field.
Nobody remembers the dawn of the freenets? The only time when it seemed the local libraries were ahead of their time.
Some are still up:
telnet.Aztecfreenet.org
You can even browse the www in lynx (free proxy!)
By all means, that seems like a risky operation. If they kill of their PC gaming division, they lose a large part of their 'entertainment customers' as well (those that use a pc mainly for multimedia, games and social networking).
Once these customers are forced into the console market, Microsoft loses their grip on the market, as they are not the dominant console player.
I believe the console market is in the same position as the arcade halls were back in the early '90: filled with 'mature companies', struggling to provide added value to their product over the then relatively new home consoles.
If the console market wants to survive, they really need to move away from copying the success factors from the PC market, and provide added value to their product that the PC industry can't easily copy, just like surviving arcade manufacturers are doing nowadays.
And, while I agree it is hard to find such elements, they certainly exists. The wii-type thing was a good start. Just adding a faster internet modem and high end graphics card isn't going to do it this time.
I find it amusing that all the protocols you mention are secured, except for ftp.
Apparently we don't care about security when it comes to distributing pictures of cats.
Does it really matter? In the end, they are just going to raise the data-only plans if people are switching away from POTS/ISDN (which I personally think of as a shame, because circuit-switched networks still beat IP when it comes to QoS for voice communication)
Can someone explain to me what Go's aim is, and why exactly it requires a new programming language?
Is it meant a replacement for Java/C++/Python, or does it cater a new branch of programming?
The average android user has no intention in doing so (and if Google embeds it into the kernel, it would be difficult to disable without flashing the device).
In the Apple world, things would be even simpler, as only jailbroken devices would be able to stop the ad server.
I must admit I rarely check the change a cashier passes me back.
However, this is mostly because I don't want to hold up the waiting line any longer than necessary. (I find arithmetic without a piece of paper very hard).
They indeed provide a very closed and locked product, but that should not be a problem for the business world?
I think most companies just want a product which has proven itself, is compatible with their legacy systems and will be supported for a long time. The fact that the whole 'supply chain' (if I can call it that way) is controlled by RIM is not really a minus at that point; it was moreover the reason why BB's had faster email and web response times than the competition.
Most of the people on/. criticize RIM for not having the same open policy towards developers for their system, and not 'being like the iphone'.
I personally don't see how those two factors would influence their sales in the corporate world. Games and silly applications are not what managers are waiting for, and useful applications will find their way on the device (eventually, when they passed the 'hype' stage).

I know this off-topic, but I didn't know there are fanless pc's that aren't meant for low-power servers or embedded devices?
There is a brand of france telecome that is called `Orange'.
Never thought of it: "Orange now provides Apple devices"...
SketchUp was an acquired start-up. Is there any data present that would let us see if Google paid more for the acquisition than it gets now?

Why not use one antenna per channel, and stream it to multiple customers?
As far as I recall, that thing was designed and produced by MOS technology (which was sadly a one-hit wonder).
I find the idea very interesting, but isn't it sad this approach wouldn't work on a text-based terminal (e.g. an ssh login)?

Just think of all the possibilities this has to the porn industry...

Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready.

This is just a cover for their excessive spending of their research grant on booze.

Why not run a daemon that buffers the ads in the background for all apps while there is a wifi connection?
I have to disagree on that one. Prezi's make me nauseous. Please stick to a normal powerpoint or beamer presentation.

I thought you meant something like a numeric pager instead of an alphanumeric one. Still, pagers were the coolest things at the time.
Consider yourself lucky you had a pager.
