Because no one reads Car and Driver, Road and Track, Cycle World, Sports Illustrated, Mother Earth News, Maximum PC, , Time, Newsweek, Discovery, Scientific American, or any of those magazines full of color pictures.
Yes it would cost and they may not have the option too. Google has requirements for a device to get the App Market. It pretty much has to be a phone. Most tablets don't have the App Market. Also by creating their own app market they can make money off the apps. It is really that simple. So yes it will cost them money. Now I do feel B&N not putting the Kindle app on their reader is dumb as a box of rocks. I like a lot of people already have a Kindle. I would love to get this and use it as a reader and if the shopping system was really good and the prices good I would buy books from B&N as well as Amazon. Right now Amazon has me because they have more of the books I want and I already have a Kindle. B&N is missing the chance to take me from Amazon.
And yes the NookColor with the App store would be a very very interesting product and I too would buy it.
Was it running HURD? I was actually kidding about that. An SQL injection attack is so many levels removed from the OS that it isn't funny. Frankly it is OS independent in the extreme.
Actually I did. I went to AT&T DSL. Do you really want me to post you a bill? As to Karma? I don't really care because I can not spend it. I do try and be polite because that is just the way I like to be treated.
I disagree that this was mostly harmless. Some of the information may have some serious repercussions between the US, China, South Korea, and North Korea and could cost lives. Should Wikileaks be shutdown. Interesting question legally. I do really want to see freedom of the press eroded but I also feel Wikileaks is acting irresponsibly in the extreme. Of course they may actually be breaking US law by publishing that information. Yes the person taking this information was committing a crime. As I said Wikileaks may or may not be committing a crime but I do feel they are acting immorally.
Actually I believe there is. Imagine in a few years if CGI gets good enough. You could have all sorts of "issues" come up. The new Tron movie will show if it is possible now. I believe there are big exceptions for news and such. Of course I think Apple should just let it go. Frankly it is just a good but of fun.
Actually they don't. But there is a reason why military stuff costs more. I have worked on a bid before. The Marines wanted to buy our software. Okay they tested it and liked it the best. They wrote the bid so it matched our software. Then the pre bid paperwork came. It weighed 50 lbs. It had questions about the race of every member of the company, how many men and women, ages,...... On and on and on.. Okay so we filled it all out. Then we added features they wanted and bid it under what we normally sell it at. We lost the bid. Another company under bid us by $20 a unit but charged $200 more per unit in support fees. They didn't meet the specs and the USMC was unhappy but their congressperson made a call and had the specs modified.... So we lost the bid after all that work. Three years later the USMC came back because the company that had won that bid went out of business and never produced a Windows version. We got that bid but yes we all paid for that software twice.
Well since I got hit by a truck as a teenager and walked away I think that my line is well along im proving you wrong. Some day my descendants shall rule world!
Funny but so manny people are letting Wikileaks off the hook with no responsibility that I just don't think you are correct. I don't care if you buy the information, steal it, or have it given to you on a silver plater. If you publish it knowing that it will do more harm than good or don't even bother to check it then you are in part morally responsible.
I don't think that a large number of people get it. They are blaming the government for not securing it better. Which is a valid gripe but the way it was taken was a person violated his oath, regulations, and the law to take it.
No one left a door open or left a password set to a default. This was an inside job by someone that was supposed to be trustworthy.
Actually it looks as if this was part of the leak from the military person that is now in jail. He will be for a very very long time.
I love how people are absolving wikileaks of all responsibility. Lets put this into a differn't set of terms. An employee of a company say a network admin got access to the credit card info of a large number of people. He stole it and smuggled it out on a flash drive. He then put up for sale and let's say Microsoft knowing that it was gotten illegally paid him for it and used it for marketing..... We know how wikileaks got it but wikileaks didn't have to publish it. Assage better start to really worry. He has now made some nations that are not the US very angry at him. Those nations have no problem with the idea of killing people that make them angry. And frankly since all the Wikileaks people will blame the US they will not even get a second look and wouldn't care if they did.
Do you have to give this person any ideas? Frankly I would prefer them to remain ineffectual if it all the same to you. Frankly I don't really understand why they feel I am worth the effort.
funny but if you feel that I am incorrect why not post that I am wrong? If I am correct what is your problem? Wow the fact that you care so much is actually kind of sad.
Sorry but what do you mean black? Only the bottom looks black to me. It looks like almost the same colors as the shuttle. A lot of the colors are for thermal management and some because that is the color of the material. Almost none of it is "paint" except for some of the id stuff. paint doesn't tend to do well at those temps.
Not exactly. There are no low end WP7 phones. The specs for a WP7 phone close to say the EVO. You are not seeing BOGO offers on high end Android or the iPhone. These are all 199 phones we are talking about. So yes I would say it is a sign of things not going as well as expected. Just from my circle I can say that there is no buzz around WP7 phones. They are no on Verizon or Sprint. On AT&T they are going head to head with the iPhone and on TMobile they are they are facing a lot of Android phones including the new Nexus S.
Actually people started to use Windows in big numbers only when new computers started to bundle it. A few users bought it but most got it bundled. But it was a while before A lot of major apps moved to Windows.
Is this needed? No we have lived without it for a long time. Could this be useful? I think so. I would add wifi to it so it could sync with my smart phone and other systems but yes it could be useful. Think of the other uses that a modern fridge is used for. With a good screen and interface it could. 1. Sync with your calendar. Most friges I know have a calendar on them. 2. Used to display notes. 3. Keep track of your shopping list. Yes you could scan the milk when you are getting low or maybe use a voice interface to add. Get milk to your shopping list. 4. Streaming media player 5. YAC Yet another clock. 6. Weather widget. 7, Digital picture frame. 8. Interface to smart home.
Yes every task can be done in other ways but that is also true about MP3 players, smart phones, and even PCs. We all lived just fine without those things. Take the notes for example. You could check them with your smart phone or PC and or update them. Or the shopping list. Maybe you get off a bit early so you decide to go to the store but you left you list on the fridge. With this you can get it with your smart phone. Same thing with the calendar and so on. Required? No. Useful? maybe.
Funny but truth is that in the real world security folks are not as dumb as TSA people. The names I used where out of context and in no way risked security. I doubt that anything I knew then is of any value now.
I have read the anadtech story. The thing is that I was posting a reply to the person that said if btrfs is faster why would anyone use ZFS.
I am sure that btrfs will get a lot of the features of ZFS soon. To be honest the cost of storage and processing power is now getting so low it makes my head hurt. 1TB drives are less than $100 each and falling. Soon it will be common to have multi TB workstations. Throw in that you can get six core AMD CPUs for under $300 and it is just getting to the really silly stage. We really are at the point where PCs have many times the performance of a CRAY1 did in 1975. At this rate we will need ZFS for cell phones in a few years.
No not at all. And the names I used had been published. The name he freaked out over was one that I had nothing to do with but had been published in Aviation Week.

An SQL injection attack is so many levels removed from the OS that it isn't funny. Frankly it is OS independent in the extreme.
It was a GNU project it was running on HURD not Linux.
Umm.. this wasn't a LINUX issue it was an SQL injection attack on a website. Are just trying to troll or do you really not know the difference?
Nope I expect any company to hand over data with a court order. It is foolish to think otherwise.
Not everybody is dropping office for Google Docs.
Has anyone tried Office 365? Is it any good?
Really? You trust Google to not hand your data over?
Want to bet? It may take a court order but they will hand it over all the same.
