Also, laws against firing people? Who has those? I the us, absent a specific contract, all work is at-will - employee can leave at any time, and they can be dismissed at any time. If you're fired because you suck, that's a bigger deal because you don't qualify for unemployment benefits. There R laws in place to regulate this kind of firing, and employees can follow up with wrongful termination suits.
No, but I'm stating that a portion of android users are apple-haters and use android out of spite, even though they would get a better experience with apple.

Ok, here we go. It's clear that Steve Perlman has a dream/vision that server-hosted games/desktop/whatever is a revolutionary idea, and he's just on the cusp of making it a reality. He thought he could make it work before (onlive has been in business for two years or so?) but obviously it didn't work and his company was on the brink of shutting down.
But he obviously still believes in his dream and doesn't want to give up. So he does this convoluted thing that throws away lots of past investment and is bad for his staff, but it is a way to keep the dream alive.
Steve Perlman. I'll be successful no matter what he does. If not onlive, then he would be successful elsewhere. The fact that he so intensely believes in the potential of his streaming service is awesome.
C'mon, what's the big difference? Go bankrupt and everybody is laid off and loses equity, or play this shell game where every body is laid off and loses equity, but the service still continues?
Disclosure: i'mm an avid onlive user.
As said above, this isn't a re-release of smb2, but an entirely new game. So please un-bunch your panties. Btw smb2 was the weirdest game I evar played.
yeah you screwed up because you took the lazy anti-intellectual route. here's how you can do better next time".
you'd explain that they should get an iphone next time. if they don't want to invest the time in securing an operating system, then get an operating system that doesn't requrie any invesemtnt.
We're moving from cyber espnage to cyber sabotage. The summary doesn't say what countries Re targeted, but it will be interesting to see if this is government sponsored against the middle east, government (china) sponsored against US, or private malicious. A brave new world!
I,m sorry that your mind is stuck in such a literal place. Fact: Sony was not hacked for any tangible value, but to make a point. To send a message to all companies that they better conform to Anonymous standards or face an attack of their own. This is a political message. Violence: you cannot deny thT this was an attack on Sony. There's no blood on the floor, but it's still a forceful appropriation. So I stand by my statement that it is a terrorist act.
I suppose you could add an additional clause for. The definition of terrorist. It would have to be perpetrated by a non-sovereign entity.
Terrorism is the proper word here. Terrorism is the attemp at political change through violent means. Their goal w not to steal the credentials for themselves. They don't even want them. Their goal wS to send a message that other companies better watch out and behave, or else they'll end up like Sony. And yes, hacking in and stealing private information is violent. Cyber-violent. I assume you wont reply to this, which I take as concurrence.
don't be obtuse. what you describe is really meant as rounded corners with radii of a milimeter. here we're talking about an aesthetic desicn of rounded corners with a radius of a half inch. there's no technical reason for this. in fact, the most convenient shape for a tablet, so that it can fit in your pocket as the lawyer says, is for it to be suppository shape like my pos android phone.
flash wasn't an option on the devices because jobs had the vision to see that flash was a dead end on mobile. five years later, adobe has conceded the point. even given 5 years of smartphone development, flash still runs poorly on new phones.
adobe should go back to the drawing board a la ibm and really think hard about what they do well.
no, i didn't say that you did. i'm saying that your "logic" could apply equally well to using racial slurs. "what's the problem? everybody knows what I'm talking about!". Obviously that argument would be stupid, and by the transitive property, your argument above must be stupid as well. QED!
looks like steve jobs was right... if they have to choose between shipping a crappy product or not shipping a product, better to choose not to sully the company's name. you're right that websites will migrate away from flash... win win!

What does this have to do with the subject at hand? Or are you just dumping snark into the conversation? Is that what you're like at work?

Smb2 was wierdddd... Probably the worst sequel ever. They got inks back on track with smb3.
Bad news - iPad mini is announced in 3 weeks and will eat nex7's lunch. Motogoog is spooked.
"what's the solution to X?" "well, you could get Y." "but I don't want Y because I'm a fanboi." "Fine then don't complain about X."
you know what else is particularly ridiculous? your mom.
all messages sent between iphones go on imessage instead of sms. sms is dead on iphones except for communications wiith other cell phone types.

ouch. you better watch out for the bounceback when you use phrases such as "flawed justifications."

You're an idiot.
You mean, like a reality distortion field?

umm, none on ipad since it is not available... thank goodness!
also, mozilla is assing h264 support to its android firefox. flash is dead, unless you like banner ads.
