My partners and I had the #1 Music app in Japan for several weeks last month (Boombox - http://tiny.cc/Lrd5g), so they are definitely interested in the iPhone. Just because they don't buy the phone in the same numbers as in the US doesn't mean they hate it. It seems like it's doing fairly well over there.
The US can't ban companies from doing business with China because China owns a LOT of our debt. Where do you think we're borrowing all this money from? Well, boys and girls, it's China (and some other countries). We can't ban all business with them because they can go ahead and call in the debt, which would be a huge economic disaster for the US.
It's called college radio. 88.5 here in Atlanta is owned and operated by Georgia State University, and they alone choose what to play, and they play a huge variety of music, from indie pop to hiphop to the occasional country tune, and just about all of it is obscure, little-known bands, though they do venture into bands like Belle & Sebastian who are more well known in the indie circles, though still not played on commercial radio.
Funny how you disparage all of Time-Warner, yet you don't back it up by any numbers. 2004 was Time-Warner's strongest year ever, all while paying down debt. Look at the numbers. I guess they're doing something right.
Don't mark this guy Insightful. AOL is actually a big money maker for Time-Warner. Take a look at the numbers. Just because they don't make as much as they used to, they're still in the black. They actually make a lot of money, and they don't have to "siphon" funds from the parent company.
Do your researching before spouting lies and half-truths.
I heard that Netflix was talking to Amazon to provide their DVD service because Amazon didn't want to build one from scratch. (Maybe a bit gunshy from their attempt at auctions?)
In Georgia, and other states, you cannot, as an individual, order wine mail order or on the Internet. There is some crazy law that prohibits this. I know this is a bit off-topic, but it's another example of a state limiting interstate commerce.
While you are right in that the job belongs to the employer and can give it to anyone they want, LEGALLY they can only give it to an H1-B visa holder IF AND ONLY IF that person's skills cannot be found in this country. I find it VERY hard to believe that every single H1-B visa holder here in the states is better then every single unemployed American. I'm sure that there is an American citizen who is an unemployed Java programmer (for example) that is a better programmer then at least one H1-B visa holder who is a Java programmer.
It looks kinda like a lightning bug to me. That's what I thought when I took a look at the large picture on APoD, and this difference image kinda confirms it in my mind.
Of course, it could just be coincidence and it can just be an artifact like most people are arguing.
Mike Cameron on the Mets does it differently. He's trained himself since a very early age to see the ball off the bat and then estimate where it will land. He then runs as fast as he can to that spot, and lo and behold the ball is there for him. He doesn't actually watch the ball in flight, but he knows where it will land quicker than other outfielders. That's why he's far and away the best centerfielder (and outfielder in general) in baseball.
Reading books on his Palm in the wilderness? Isn't the wilderness there to get AWAY from stuff like that? Put down the electronic devices when you're out in the wilderness and enjoy the freakin' wilderness! If you want to read books on your Palm, save the money, save the trip, and put your tent up in your living room and read your Palm my flashlight.
I know those heated gloves that we motorcyclists wear on our bikes are plugged in, and these heat-pipe gloves have no energy source other than our bodies, but it seems like a large step in technology for a little bit of gain. For those people who are out in the cold for such a long time that they have to fight frostbite, can't they have battery-powered heated gloves or something like that?
Adult Swim is too important to CartoonNetwork to spin it off. Cartoon would lose too much viewership and ad dollars. Adult Swim Network would suck off the older, and very valuable, viewership.
The Wired article explains that it looks like the people who manufacture these diamonds will sell them to diamond sellers relatively cheap. They will be declared "cultured diamonds" meaning that they are man-made. Of course no woman would want a cheap man-made diamond. What the diamond sellers are doing is sell these diamonds, which they KNOW are man-made and bought pretty cheap, at close to or at the standard rate and NOT declare them man-made. The savings doesn't go to the end customer, but to the diamond middleman - the diamond store at the mall.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was in the magnitude of several thousand downloads per day.

Ummmm....emusic.com already does that, except that they charge $0.25 per track.

Of course another pandemic is coming. But so is another asteroid. Which will be first?
I hate these "the sky is going falling...eventually" predictions. Of course it will happen, but stop trying to scare everyone.

...well, 'loved' is the proper tense of the verb, methinks.
You're 27 and you're worried about being an "older programmer"???

According to the article, they're making Le Guin's Earthsea, too!

Dell just announced it was moving some of its customer support stationed in India back to the US because of constant customer complaints.

Wow, this seems like something that the whole /. community agrees with! Stop the presses!
