If the idea is for the stock to drop after the IPO why are they so exclusive? I asked my broker if I could buy Facebook stock for the IPO and I couldn't because I didn't have enough value or volume - the only people allowed to purchase were a select few. They were clearly looking for people with lots of money who wanted to make more money.
That's not happening - so tell me why I should be interested in IPO's as an investor? At this rate I'll be able to buy their stock at a lower price that the highly exclusive investors bought it at and once it hits its actual value maybe make some money:).
I suspect btw the reason everyone - including the investment banks - bought so much is they clearly expected it to go through the roof. Plenty of stock trading shows on TV were speculating it was probably worth trillions of dollars if not more.
I was dropping off a bunch of Apple keyboards (I manage a bunch of Mac labs for a school among other things) at the Apple Store. Never had a Dell keyboard die, but that is another story/rant.
You should tell that to the less than two customers who came in with 4s's with stuck/broken home buttons.
If you buy your new phone at a Verizon store (not some discounter) they will grandfather your existing plan. I have unlimited data on my Galaxy Nexus:).
Point of order - I can replace the battery on my Galaxy Nexus - which is thinner than an iPhone 4 without any tools - and thus no risk to puncturing the battery.
A lot of this stems from the agreement Intel made with AMD to have a second source for chips for IBM PC computers - they in turn licensed AMD64 to Intel. No-one ever went to court, but doubt you can copyright op-codes in the same manner.
Maybe this is what Oracle is hoping for? Some sort of cross licensing agreement with Google? A piece of the Android pie.
You should come work for a university - its far from being a unified solitary company - its more like 200-300 different companies fighting for resources.
Bottom line - any money your department makes - you pretty much get to keep.
In doing actual front desk/helpdesk support (at a University no less) I've found most Mac/Windows end users to be pretty much totally clueless when it comes to security.
A lot of online courseware comes in ims format - which you simply import into a course shell and it has lessons, content, quizzes etc all setup - at most you just need to setup permissions on the quizzes and setup the grade book.
I think there is a lot less instructional design time required for tools like D2L and Blackboard than a roll your own solution. And from my experience in a university roll your own solutions typically only have one developer who is a student or something and when he/she moves on - you have to roll another solution - which is hard to do if you have 1500+ professors who rely on it.
I know about a lot of stuff like this too, but when I was 16 the internet didn't really exist the way it is today. I remember using telnet and rsh for everything for example.
It might be more of a trend than you think. I work at a university and the unix admins (mind you - not just Linux, but Solaris and BSD too) I've heard more than one complaint about them being rude.
The Windows admins at the same place I've never heard anything about, but in my experience are always generally helpful.
For Tri-met in Portland I find that lists the approximate time of arrival - the bus still might be slightly early or slightly late and its still best to show up a bit before if you can.

Why bother? Just use a sector editor and give yourself that stuff :).
Still the government has a better track record for creating incentives to hire than the private sector.
If you live in Portland Oregon please reply - I'd be more than happy to show you my proof :). I probably run the largest Mac labs in town.

Sent with my Galaxy Nexus (which also just works)
Not to mention trademarked - I suspect Apple will pay them for that like they have for every other "original" brand they have come along with.

32 bit servers have a 2 gig quota max...
Honestly if we didn't we'd be stuck on our old Cyrus IMAP servers and our 2 gigabyte quotas.

You know whats funny about comments like yours - any MMO that competes with WoW wishes they had a million and a half players.

I actually use Google Apps for Education here at work - it supports docs greater than 1 megabyte...
On samba/cifs/smb - you can map out the g-drive to dfs or directly to a workstation - on a Chromebook I think its a valid feature request.
Commodore didn't start making computers in the Philippines until the 1200/4000 line. My Amiga 3000 was made in West Chester PA.
Fdisk format reinstall - do dah do dah...
Banner isn't an LMS by itself - they have a module for their SIS called course studio and yes it sucks.
Of course - everything Sunguard makes kinda sucks.

Google has an offline mode that does work great.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Apple is a member of the w3c and a member of the group that controls h264?

I'm kinda glad they run at all :).
