Instant messaging? When did Apple announce this? I didn't hear that iChat was included. Wait. It's not. And don't hold your breath waiting for some 3rd party instant messaging software. Ask yourself, why would Apple allow 3rd party instant messaging apps when they have a very good one themselves that they could easily port to the iPhone. Probably because AT&T won't allow it on the iPhone.
The person went through 4 or 5 years of school and got a CS degree but doesn't want to program? Ok, fine. But didn't something interest you in that time? Database development? Database design? Networking? Maybe you should stay in school and get a Masters in Business so you can then boss around programmers.:-)
I agree. Apple calls itself a hardware company. But I've always said they needed to write the best software out there to get people to buy their hardware. They could have been Microsoft. They could have licensed the original Mac OS and Microsoft would have been known as a producer of office apps. But Steve was a control freak. Granted, they make the sexiest hardware now. The iMac is far superior to any PC for consumers. And the Mac Pro is phenomenal, I just wish more affordable. And the MacBook and MacBook Pro are best in class as well.
But I didn't switch to Apple for the hardware. I switched because I wanted to use OS X. And no, I didn't come from Windows. I came from Linux. I still use Linux, but 90% of the time its on servers.
I know someone with a 2003 Ford Expedition. They went to a dealer to trade it in for a car and the dealer offered them $4000 for it. And they paid $35000 for it in 2003. If I had one, I'd just park it and get a little car. Only drive it when its absolutely necessary.
Its amazing how many Americans were suckered into believing they needed a big ol' SUV to drive their kids around. Every day when I drop my kids off at preschool, the parking lot is filled with SUV's. And I'm talking Suburbans, Excursions, and Expeditions. Meanwhile, I pull in with my Mazda 3. I have to laugh at them.
I'm surprised that it maxes out at 16GB's still. I was expecting 32GB's. I'm a bit disappointed that once again there is no camera on the front to allow for video conferencing. And it still looks like you can't use it as a modem for your laptop.
I'm using a Palm Centro right now and while I think it sucks compared to the iPhone, its pretty valuable in that I can connect my MacBook Pro to it to get Internet connectivity. And since I pretty much carry my laptop with me everywhere, the value of the iPhone is somewhat diminished for me. Plus, my wife and I are on Sprint's employee plan and we pay a combined $60 a month for unlimited data.
You can be sure that those behind this film will say that this is not a pro-religion film, but one where they try to make Intelligent Design a real scientific theory. But before you believe that, take a look at how many church's will send their members, teen youth groups, etc. to watch this film. Then tell me this isn't about pushing religion down our throats even more.
go tell Mommy you forgot it. Because no one in their right mind would seriously put XP SP2 against OS X. My five year old even knows that OS X is superior.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MySQL ever had an open source developer community. It was developed by a company and released as an open source product. Unlike PostgreSQL, which really is developed by a community of developers.
The moral of the story is, when building hardware, open-ness matters. The more your hardware is open, the more people can connect to it, having partners making clones speeds the adoption of your technology, and it places you much more firmly in the driver's seat. Sure, Apple might look good by making IPhones as closed appliances, but you can bet that when Microsoft finally gets its act together, and rallies around a dozen hardware vendors along a common platform, then Apple is going to get smoked, just as it was when, well, PCs slaughtered Apple the first time around.
I agreed with right up to this paragraph. Microsoft won't win this one. The iPhone will eventually lose out to Asteroid. Microsoft already had their chance in this market. The iPhone blew them out of the water.
Yep, Adobe was told that Cocoa was the future for OS X development. And yet, they chose to stick with Carbon. Can't blame Apple for that one. Simple fact is Photoshop is designed for Windows first and then ported. So its not a native Mac app and doesn't take advantage of all the technology in OS X. If you want to see what I'm talking about, take a look at Pixelmator. While its not on par with Photoshop, it combines the power of ImageMagick with the underlying technology from OS X.
I listen to about 15 podcasting shows a week. What hype was there? Its not now or ever going to be a moneymaker or something controlled by big media. Its doing exactly what it was supposed to do.
While I can't agree or disagree with you on whether you find baseball boring, it is still my favorite sport. While I'd rather watch a college football game than a baseball game on television, I can read about baseball. I can't read about football. I can study baseball.
I find soccer extremely boring, but its probably because I don't really know the strategy in the sport. I understand the strategy in baseball. While the game on the field goes a bit slow, the strategy that is taking place behind the scenes is fascinating. Thats one of the reasons I can't stand the DH. I prefer the strategy that comes from having a pitcher in the batting lineup over watching the extra offense a DH provides.
If you haven't ever watched Ken Burn's Baseball, I recommend you renting it from Netflix.
After the streak ended, he started a new 16 game hitting streak. That means he hit safely in 72 of 73 games.
During the streak Joe DiMaggio had a batting average of.408, a slugging average of.717, he faced four (4) future hall of fame pitchers, and he played in the 1941 All-Star Game (he went one-for-four, scored a run, and drove in a run). Source is http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats3.shtml
During Joe DiMaggio's streak, Ted Williams actually had a higher batting average. William's batted.412 and finished with a.406 average for the year.
Joe DiMaggio had a 61 game hitting streak while playing for the San Francisco Seals in the Pacific Coast League in 1933.

He gets 15 years for killing his wife? Yet, there are people who have been convicted for having dope that spend more than 20 years in prison.

And obviously an employee of Adobe.
Example: The 2008 Dodge Challenger gets about 12 mpg. But I guess if you are surfing the net, you won't notice. Glad to see Chrysler being innovative.

MediaDefender is just the messenger. The FBI needs to go after the source of their money. The MPAA and RIAA companies.
Tere's a short video from a Plone programmer named Sean Kelly. He talks about his transition from C and C++ to Java and eventually Python.

Microsoft likes to talk a good game, but in the end they have to remain backwards compatible and therefore it just becomes more bloated.

Just imagine walking out to your car in the morning, getting in, turning the key, and kaboom!
It would have been nice to see the code for a "real" working app on App Engine.

How much does your phone cost to have unlimited data?
It only took me about 40 seconds back in my junior high days when the Cube came out.
I might still be working at Great Bridge.
