Heeyyyy, I graduated in 2004 as well! And that MS Office class was so boring. I found a sweet playable demo for some kind of Nerf-related FPS. I installed it for everyone so we could play it when we finished our work for the day, it was pretty fun.
Sure, the initial design of the first Android was similar to the Blackberry, but that design pitch was made in 2006. The result that was released in 2008 looks nothing like that. But, whatever. I guess it does not really matter now, HTC has hammered out their own design path that differs from its original style anyway.
??? The first Android looked nothing like a Blackberry. The T-Mobile G1 had a full sized touchscreen, a trackball, and a slide out keyboard. It was definitely unique in its design.
Even if you are talking about the OS, the only similarities that I can think of is the fact that they both have apps, and wallpapers that you can change. Perhaps you could clarify your statement for me?
I saw Looper, it was pretty good, I liked it. Even though I think they paradoxically jacked up their timeline. I have not had enough time to sit down a plot it out, but at a cursory glance, it seems like a few events should not have happened like they did. Still enjoyable though.
In five years, Apple will be back to being a marginal player with about 10% market share.
And then in five more years, they will find some way to be more innovative by pushing the boundaries of technology. Another revolution in computing will come about, sealed up in another walled garden.
And thus, the cycle is complete. Repeat as necessary.
This AC forgot a big one: Customization. In order to customize an iPhone, you have to jailbreak it. Android? No problem, just hop on over to the market.
Not always, I think it depends a lot on the relativity of it all.
Back when IM was a big thing, everyone was using multiple chat clients, then GAIM (Now Pidgin) came around and rolled everything into one nice package. The program itsself had a few bugs, i.e. "Fairly stable", but given the alternative, it was vastly superior to running multiple chat programs to have access to all the various protocols I required.
Back then, I somehow managed to find friends that used AIM, MSN, ICQ, and Yahoo. I had to have some way of communicating with them without blocking off 90% of my 15" screen real estate, and the "Fairly stable" GAIM was the ticket.
Just off the top of my head without looking anything up I thought of two:
1. Logitech MX Revolution: Introduced the first mouse that has a scroll wheel that switches between free-spinning, and standard, to allow incredibly quick and smooth scrolling with just a single flick of your finger. 2. Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX: Darkfield technology allows the mouse to detect movement on practically any surface. Including incredibly clean glass.
If I took the time to look up information, I am sure I would find many more interesting inventions listed. Like maybe their DiNovo, it was a media-centric keyboard that was wireless and had a charging station.
Anyway, I am kindof a Logitech flunkie, so I guess maybe my views are a little biased, but whatever.
Hey, me too! I used to subscribe to the e-mail their CEO sent out every quarter with their latest news and info on how the company was doing. Any time I buy any peripheral, I buy Logitech.
I have a G15 keyboard at home, and I brought my G9 mouse to work.
My only complaint with the company is that my MX Revolution has consistently poor connection issues, though I did buy it when they first introduced it, and it only started having problems a couple Months ago after constant use. I would say 6 years was a good lifetime.

That was the most perfect touche ever.

Dang it. It took me until halfway through the second line to get it. :(

I do not believe you tried to LMGTFY.

Maybe we could just simplify the statement to stave confusion?
"Never put anything in your ear"
Perfect.
What part of "Last frontier" did you not understand?
GP says harnessing black holes are around the final corner, not the next corner.
The center of mass between two bodies is the Barycenter.
The wikpedia page actually has a sweet diagram of the Barycenter for the solar system over the last 50 years.
(I do not understand most of the words, or any of the math, but I like the pictures!)
Ooooohhhh.... Snap.
No crowbar nerf.
Hah! Yeah right.
What even are you talking about, and where can I read the rest of this book?
Oh snap.
That is precisely the only thing I like about Apple products...
The downright lack of viruses/malicious programs. Well, that, and the utter simplicity of the system, aiding those who are less than savvy.

Nice. Thanks for the link.

Well, when did Logitech ever invent anything?

Apparently "Funny", and "Redundant" will have to do for now.
Yeah... I would watch that movie.
This... Could... Actually happen. Wow. Go America!
