So your alternative narrative is that for 5 million years women have been too weak to overcome the big mean men who oppress them? Your idea is more degrading than anything I suggested.
I like when people pretend there's no difference between men and women, but when a woman tries to enter a male dominated field she merely takes on typical male mannerisms.
Women rarey are the type to sit in front of their computers for 10 years straight during adolescence; very few will EVER enter tech because it is a geek discipline that requires a great deal of isolation. Everyone likes to jump on the evolutionary bandwagon here, but then negate that women have inherited certain traits that make them suitable for wifehood, not lumber jacking. They prioritize socialization over technical merit, because evolution has bound them to spending their formative years making themselves pretty to attract a wealthy man who will impregnate them, not code.
And males have evolved to focus on a trade, master it, and then impregnate/screw as many women as he can afford.
Dunno about Sony. They're trying to get into tablets now (just showed off two new ones the other day) and WebOS combined with the capability of Sony to occasionally make interesting designs would be the only thing making them stand out in the crowd. I mean, it won't happen but in a perfect world . . .
Look over at AtariAge. The front page has an article about Atari's Greatest Hits for iOS. A lot of people, including myself bought it, just because we're classic gaming fans. They're also the same demographic who bought many of the all in one joysticks and keychains. Just like with music and movies, the biggest fans are naturally the biggest spenders AND downloaders. One day maybe these idiots will understand that.
Run a web server at home, make a desktop shortcut to the public_html folder on it, and drop files for your friends whenever they want them with no uploading required in between.
Best solution for sharing small files to a handful of people and if you enable directory listings you can link say -- 20 files at once without sending individual URLs.
I forget which documentary it was in, but there was an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto where he played a game of Donkey Kong and died on the first level.
I had to build my own Safari version. There are some issues that prevent the EFF from standing behind an official binary; you've probably encountered info about it by this point.
Here is a link to my build, if you're willing to trust me:
Remember when people moved to Google around '98 or so. The search results were nice, but the main attraction (for me) was a truly sparse layout with minimal advertising.
Now Google, in addition to appearing very nefarious, has a cluttered shithole of a layout that makes Bing attractive in comparison.
DuckDuckGo is minimal. It's not trying to be anything more than a search engine -- just like Google was in the beginning. Seems like each time I search for anything remotely obscure on Google nowadays I get an assload of spam links.
You know DuckDuckGo has an SSL option right? Others should look into it -- they have a no logging policy.
Running a cache proxy at home is something you do when you don't have a real job and want to futz around in your free time, maybe learn about it so you can use it at a job and make yourself more valuable.
If you have one machine running as a home server, it's trivial. My box handles a plethora of little tasks that can be centralized: file server, web server, torrent box, machine to run Linux X11 apps from in OS X or even iOS, web cache, home DNS and forwarding, BOINC, backup server . ..
The rest of us however, don't have time to set it up
sudo apt-get install squid
Make a few changes to squid.conf and you're done. You might not find it worthwhile, but others who're already running a little home server might as well.
Slashdot Mirror
Thread closed.
No, just being very evil instead.
I can't wait to get my spam and server bot attacks even faster than before.
Or DuckDuckGo, who is going back to the roots of what made Google good in the first place: clean interface and decent, mostly spam free results.
Microsoft Bob part two, though this time you can make apps for it.
Immediately after noticing it was a tech article written by a woman.
I would find out which kind is th largest on the east coast, and make a bigger one.

More like females in power emulate men to beef up their authority, and subsequently become huge bitches with only half the skill.

There's a reason only about a dozen Fortune 500 companies have female CEOs, and almost none of them are in tech.

Goatse was up too.
The soiled little boys underwear was from the previous owner!
How similar is this to the iPad version that's been out for a while now? Obviously better graphics, but what else?
I forget which documentary it was in, but there was an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto where he played a game of Donkey Kong and died on the first level.
Without Bell Labs we wouldn't have the vocoder, which was originally used for encryption before finding its way into music.
As I'm reading this thread I'm holding my iPad 2 with my right hand only, using my thumb to scroll. Weight and size matter to me.
Just run your own, unless you think Google offers that service just to be nice.

That's because they have a life away from the computer.
What a bunch of losers.
