Like what? In my work - my Android phone works just as well as the guys who have iPhones - no difference in functionality. Everything is pretty tightly integrated and seems to work seamlessly to me. Maybe ignorance is bliss...
One time I whipped my phone out to view a website and was able to view the flash movie where my friend's iphone was unable to.
Not once has anyone shown me something their iphone can do my android phone can't. I also do know at least one guy who switched from an iPhone to a Sprint Android phone - and he's an Apple fanboy.
Except its largely what google does right now (they have a lot of engineers working in management) - which is what I think this change comes from.
Any business who's tried to setup a contract with google knows what I'm talking about - they are a much harder company to interface with than Microsoft.
Is that your ESN will get banned and your phone is pretty much a pda unless your can get another cdma provider (sprint/us cellular/cricket etc) to activate the phone...
It's kind of a hard call don't you think? The Soviet Union pretty much paid for the first version to be developed and I don't believe it was ever protected under international copyright law because Russia only signed on to the Berne Convention after they dissolved.
- it's statistically impossible to have 60% accuracy, it's a proof of cheating
Long ago with the original xbox I was at a house party and they were playing counter-strike (not even CS-Source) it was really hard to play and hard to aim compared to the PC version, but it was like one of 3 games my friends had there.
At the end of the match it would tell you your accuracy - it was horrible, but an interesting feature of the game - it would show the top scores for other xbox live users - at the top with an accuracy of 100% was a player (I really am not making this up) called XBOXHACKR.
Sure, but continuous welded rail (which you need for high speed) is a somewhat high tech process not every country (like the USA) seems to be able to master.
Thing to really worry about though - a good virus sits in the background quietly collecting info on the user and distributing itself to other machines it comes in contact without anyone knowing.
Having watched Mac users - they are no better than Windows users in the sense than when the elevate permissions window pops up they type in their password with no hesitation. Never mind the bugs in the core OS that would let malware run as root without anyone knowing and that is probably a more serious issue.
At least on Windows it says who's bringing up the elevate prompt, puts it on a separate desktop (so malware can't click/key the prompt), and it color codes it for risk - yellow if its not signed - red if its known malicious etc. A good chunk of the malware I've seen on Windows runs in user space, and could be cleaned up with a virus scanner if users couldn't reboot/shutdown their machine without Admin.
Seriously - most malware notices your trying to scan the disk it shuts down the machine - if MS fixed this - these Fake AV programs would be so much easier to clean up.

Spoken like someone who has never worked under a union;). Trust me - they could fire this ass hat quite rapidly.
Also - my union would at least argue to management that they should be given enough time, equipment and supervision (until he's good at this) to do the job right.
This risk from this - speaking from experience is the day that programmer leaves it can make things a tad difficult - even if everything is really well documented. And most community colleges only have 1-3 programmers in IT who splits his/her time between the SIS (something like Colleage or Datatel) and the LMS.
That in terms of bugs things aren't as bad as it seems. That is an alarming amount of blocking issues, but I've worked on actual shipping products that were worse off a month before launch, and many of these launched products the patches were planned for the next 3-4 versions because there simply wasn't enough time to finish stuff. The only difference is most companies won't let you look at their bug db.
Things pan out when you have a really active testing team and engineering team triaging problems as efficiently as they can.
Google doesn't care - Andy Rubin said in an interview last year that they thought the marketplace would sort out who was a good vendor and who wasn't. And he's right - I'll never get another Motorola phone based on my own experience.
Kind of impractical. I have a brother in law who has a faraday cage at Intel and its quite large, but most testing centers I've been into (even smallish ones) are bigger and even then - this faraday cage was quite expensive.
The first time I ever heard killer app was in reference to Visicalc (spreadsheet for those who don't know) on the Apple 2 - an application that justified purchase of the entire machine. The next time I heard the term was with the Video Toaster and the Commodore Amiga.
Having been on AT&T and now Verizon its not totally false. If I'm not in range of a wifi hotspot I cannot use data on my Android phone and talk at the same time. On my N1 I could on AT&T anywhere I had coverage.

Uh yes... Why wouldn't they?
There are other amusing tidbits too. My verizon droid came with skype that refuses to run unless I *disable* wifi.
I can download the non verizon version that refuses to run on 3G... but then I just get confused and want to lie down for a while.
I think the idea is to throw the people (like security guards) who supply inmates with cell phones in jail as well...
That's more of an android game ;).

Sometimes its a good measure ;).

The Chair Manufacturing Association of America (CMAA) certainly approves this position.

Sounds like my last job ;).

Video is covered in ch 14 of the spec. I really don't know the details about that dmca claim, so know knows.
I read gnash only has 6 developers because they'll only take people who haven't accepted the flash player eula.
I agree its a legal mine field :)

This is great until you have to move and you find out your "record" collection is boxes and boxes and boxes of stuff you haven't pulled out in ages.

I've never seen my verizon 3g connection go over 400 kbps at any time of the day - so yeah 2 hours sounds about right.
Whats really ironic here... The more organic the food - the more insects. Most hippies/hipsters have little to no idea what organic even means.
