* The GPS industry has been violating FCC rules by not filtering out non-GPS spectrum _as they are required to_ on all devices. Independent tests say 75% are not FCC-compliant
Negligence or not - sometimes it is the FCC's role to act in the public's interest - what causes the least amount of harm to the public: letting Lightsquared operate this service, or requiring everyone in the US to buy a new gps device?
I don't believe the FCC made any bad decisions here, but lets say they did and Lightsquared is right - do you still think its a good idea to require everyone who relies on GPS to buy a new receiver?
I read in an article once that Steve actually dictated what was served in the company cafeteria - sure spaghetti and meatballs wasn't his invention, but it was sure his idea that day.
Scraping what someone actually see's on their X-Serv for support reasons is a bit different problem - one that most people solve with VNC oddly enough.
PC-Anywhere had support for modem's too - I remember using it to support backwater glass shops on MS-Dos applications...
I make 17 per hour working at a university - and post tax (healthcare and income tax - I lump them together) I have home a whopping 22-23k a year - rent is half that. Sadly I make just above the amount to qualify for food stamps so every month is a challenge making ends meet.
I've been an android user from the start - I really don't know what this fragmentation thing is you speak of. I think its a buzzword invented by apple to scare people away from Android.
My honeycomb tablet even runs regular phone apps with zero problems.
If it is an issue - I certainly don't see it as a regular user.
What is funny is anytime I ask my friend who has an iPhone 4 if he can do things like swype (or any customized ime), inter-application data sharing etc - his answer is always - I can jailbreak my phone and do that.
But the analogy is a bad one. British imperialism just didn't work in the long run for anybody. But US military intervention has worked in the past and benefited both the US and the foreign nation.
That works for a while, but honestly the kids when grew up using computers really do appear to adapt much quicker to emerging technologies than us older people. I'm keeping up just barely, but I do feel the pressure described in this article.
The irony is now that I have my license, and operating awhile on the HF bands I've learned the value of Morse (talk around the world with a 1 watt transmitter?) and am in the process of learning it.
Ah but you got to chose the mode:). As someone who got extra back when you had to do a test this is what I used to argue the move towards no-code hf privs. Yeah you don't need code to get a license, but you might want to learn it on your own time to be a good, flexible operator.
I have an Asus Transformer and it holds its weight against the iPad 2 I also have - in many respects its actually far superior than the ipad 2 (notification [yes - pull down notification on a tablet kinda blows - I like the way honeycomb does it better), account integration, and browser performance to name just 3.
But the Asus very smooth, very fast, has hardly any latency issues - the ONLY thing the iPad 2 is better at is that it has way more apps and games, but Android is catching up.
The reason the Kindle blows is because its running an OS that was never intended for tablets.
I work in a university (in IT no less) and I can attest to this. It never ceases to surprise me how many students we hire that are computer science majors and know little to nothing about computers never mind how to program one.
That and it seems like anyone can get a masters degree or even a phd if they read enough books and write enough papers.
But this is seriously what you get with Oracle. If it weren't for the fact that so many enterprise systems require Oracle software to run no-one would deal with them anymore.
Article said that it uses a cdma cellphone to report its information. You could use a workbench quality frequency counter to find it when it checks into the cell tower (which it has to regularly if the vehicle is moving).

Green tea is great, until you realize that it has about as much caffeine as some coffee.
Kinda like the HP Blade server we have running ESX here at work? It costs a lot less than a Z9 as well :).
I can attest to that. Any product that needs an entire floor of people to operate probably isn't worth much.
Well its one thing when the iPhone 4S has the same amount of memory as all the other iPhones.
All ICS devices have at least 1 gigabyte of ram or more - most older android phones only have 512 megs - it makes a big difference.

Just don't forget which one is which...

I guess it goes both ways ehh?
Other than Japan and Germany - name one.
Another thing about the MacBook is its teflon coating - I've dropped it off my lap at least 3 times because of this.
Sure looks cool, but is impractical for a laptop.
I've tried pot myself and honestly you don't feel the effects the next day (really good stuff you will just a bit, but its not imparing).

What do you call Google docs?

Pot is decriminalized in good chunk of Us states as well, but that doesn't mean its legal.
I'm trying to imagine what sodomy-readiness is?

You can't sue the DEA with flimsy evidence.

(speaking from actual experience here) People don't really like Doom slideshows - which is what it was unless you had a $30,000 dollar Mac.
Like the carriers care - they are the biggest burden on mobile device growth.
Case in point - 6 months ago Verizon was still hawking HTC-Eris's - those aren't officially upgradable from 2.1.
