Besides, you can see people entering the yard, and that is all you need.
Yeah, you just have to look at the right one of fifty monitors at the right time. And drones can move a few feet and see a completely new "only 5%" of the area.
Can you back that capacity claim up with some hard facts?
I've done some calculations based on the main London-Bristol line in the UK that runs close to where I live. Based on a 500 seat train passing every 5 minutes during the peak, that's 6000 passengers per hour*. Compare this with cars traveling at 100km/h, each 10m apart carrying 1 passenger, that's 10000 passengers per hour. (*My guess for the train seems to be more or less in line with the offical UK stats at http://assets.dft.gov.uk/statistics/releases/rail-passenger-numbers-and-crowding-on-weekdays-2011/rail-passengers-crowding-2011.pdf that show's approx 5000 passengers per hour at Bristol, of which my main line is only one of 4 routes into the city)
Minimum safe distance for cars traveling at 100 km/h with the 2 second rule is 55 meters, not 10. Driving at lower distances often leads to "breaking waves" and thus to congestion.
There's solar panels and turbines for power. Hook that up to a wireless / cellular / microwave network and you can park it anywhere on the rail network.
Great idea. Should be worth something on the black market.
Easy. Would you like all the cell phone carriers to fix the price (removing competition) for service and phones? How about the big farms with the price of soybeans or corn? How about clothing manufacturers? Car manufacturers? Think of a world with zero competition between companies on price...and you will realize why price fixing is a bad idea.
Yeah, before the collusion, Amazon had a 90% market share, driving all others out of the market by selling below price. Can't you see how bad it was for competition that this has changed?
technically you are right, but amazon was selling ebooks at a loss. without apple and the feds they had to take the losses for a few years until B&N bit the dust and then jack up their prices.
apple might have broken the law, but they got amazon to actually innovate in the book selling biz
Amazon wasn't selling e-books at a loss.
Sure, when you pay 13$ for an ebook to the publisher, and sell it for the magical $9.99, you're not actually losing money, because you make it up in volume. Or after you achieved a monopoly by forcing everybody else out of the market. You just have to think long-term.
Does "You can turn the console on by voice" mean when "off" this thing is actually running a voice recognition system waiting for you to turn it "on"? Ignoring the "it's constantly listening to what is going on" part: what did they say the "standby" power use was?
But at the time, Intel didn't have a mobile processor that sipped energy like ARM's. So what was he going to offer? License ARM...again? Maybe the data told him his processors were dead fish for mobile and that he'd be better off waiting until Intel could catch up.
What do you mean "again" - Intel sold XScale only half a year before the iPhone was announced. Apple must have contacted him about it long before that - the CPU is a central part of the design after all.
On Android phones you can just copy the music files and the phone will find them for you. No need for any apps to do syncing, or if you want one you have a vast selection to choose from.
You just have to sprinkle ".nomedia" all over the place so the music player doesn't play the instructions from your navigatiomn software or sounds from games.
Not to mention that managing your music on a filesystem level means you're still stuck in the 80s. Why the hell did you buy a modern computer anyway?
The summary implies that it did only take a couple of minutes... after months of sitting on a shelf while Apple dealt with the backlog of other phones needing to be unlocked by law enforcement.
The summary may imply that, but the article doesn't. Now what does that tell you?

Same problem with drones.

A couple of cameras can watch Acres of trains. (zoom in, there are antennas on top of those lamp poles.
One tiny problem: They can't actually see 95% of the trains being sprayed, because they are hidden by other trains.
Cable? No WIFI in your world?
Wireless power. Damn you Tesla Fanboys.
There's solar panels and turbines for power. Hook that up to a wireless / cellular / microwave network and you can park it anywhere on the rail network.
Great idea. Should be worth something on the black market.
And cost effective too compared to a less than $200 dollar pole mounted cameras.
One each for a couple dozen of poles. With miles of cable. Which can get damaged far easier than a drone (because they don't move).

Um dude.... Apple's stock has been steadily shitting the bed for over a year now. It is still dropping. I highly doubt they need to do that.
Errm, up more than 10% in the last 5 weeks.
No. The judge was asked to rule on the strength of a case, given current evidence. He did so.
Is that so? Not according to TFA, it was "an unusual move before a trial", and "that she had read only some of the evidence so far".

From TFA: " It has created offshore entities holding tens of billions of dollars, while claiming to be tax resident nowhere."
Everything you quoted fails to account for the above, from TFA. If it's true, then Apple is evading tax and breaking the law.
Apple has been doing this for over two decades. Don't you think somebody would have acted on it by now they were breaking the law?

Litigation is somewhat of an issue when dealing with Apple's hardware/software and reverse engineering.
It doesn't seem to be a problem when dealing with Google. Just ask Microsoft about their YouTube app.
On the other side that would probably make Linux the dominant operating system. Not that bad.
Yeah, we'd only have to remove everything influenced by Linus. Not just what he wrote, but also what he let in as the maintainer gate-ward. Ooooooops.
As to your CPU issue it appears to be related to winsock.
IOW, iTunes sucks on Windows PCs, because Windows !*#&%!
???
Are you talking about the summary that quotes the relevant bits of the article?
You're two days behind what node_3 responded with. At least he had a valid point. How did you miss his post?
So you admit that even the summary doesn't imply that it takes only minutes, but it's just in your mind. Thanks for clearing that up.

How many designer purses were sold in the same time period?
Why are you asking me, you would know better.

I just googled for how you copy mp3s to Android and it's a simple file copy.
Did you also Google about the use of ".nomedia"?
If they can't sell iPhones and Galaxies for less than THREE times what it costs to make them, then yes, the greedy bastards are doing something wrong.
Well, T-Mobile just sold 500,000 iPhone 5 in less than a month at full price. They and Apple must be doing something right.
For most pedestrian PC use cases, you don't need a bruiser of a CPU or a GPU.
And you don't even need a PC, a tablet will do.
The default security in place in no way limits professionals or creative users.
Professionals and creative people beg to differ!
The file system restrictions alone make it unsuitable for all but the most casual of casual users.
WTF are you babbling about?
