and in England, where this story obviously hails from, the Acme Boobytrap Catalog will start getting a lot more orders. I should think scimitar installation and bear traps will be big. yes, new technology creates business!
common flaw in greenmailer philosophy... except they only care about the now, and screw the future.
the subsidiary operations that look cash-positive are dependent on services from the core company, and generally share synergies (back-office costs, research, brand value, facilities, yo'momma, whatever) which make them look better on the spreadsheet.
take that away in a breakup, all of a sudden the "haves" are hurting for resources, and need to spend big to replace them. but the experience needed to utilize the resources went with another arm of the octopus.
therefore, (5a): no profit and flounder.
this "unlocking shareholder value" thing is a cloak over the same old pirate uniform.
see, the bankruptcy discharge for Bad Old GM stated that it was the place to sue for defects in cars made under their watch. New GM is now testing that by petitioning the bankruptcy court to honor that agreement, since a bunch of lawyers are now circling them due to the blood in the water over the funky ignition switches and keylocks.
and this ought to cement it. nobody reads that stuff. not even the lawyers. Microsoft was forced to allow refunds. some other cases ruled that click-through terms may be invalid for some claims. keep on keeping on, and if General Mills wants to waste lawyers generating snarky comments all over the public space, have at it. you will lose face.
and frankly, in-car entertainment is dangerous. like the other poster said, all I want in there is an amp and speakers with a jack for audio input. the stuff is expensive, too tempting to look away from the road, and between Ford and BMW, is a monster. totally ergo inappropriate. put the frickin' screen in the dash where the speedometer is now, and stop the contortions.
I'd like my 1964 Dodge back. fixable, the controls fall where your hands are, no menus, and no nonsense.
both cablecos are generating programming from scratch, and Comcast bought both NBC's production arm as well as Universal Studios. there may be an overlap in control between TimeWarner Cable and Warner Bros. studios.
this is a BIG deal. cue the "in Soviet Russia" jokes, because they would have more control over what you see worldwide than just the Cyrillic-language channels.
my 120,000 or so dslams aren't life or death. the folks one floor above me in 911/E911, now THOSE folks have a sword over their heads.
anybody working with a life-safety part or service, there is no room for half-ass work. clearly the process at GM was shot full of holes and "don't bother me," and they're going to end up answering to the Justice Department.
the 8.1 update didn't fix all the issues with Metro, uh, Modern kicking your desktop and work to the curb when it feels like it. sucks. HULK HATE 8 !!!
the spies-and-lies folks routinely read carbon IBM ribbons. they could also identify many keystrokes from the sound if they knew what typewriter was being used.
if that thing were any bigger and heavier, it would need braces to your shoulders and hips. non-starter. what do they use for input while you're tooling down the road using a GPS on it, a WACOM?
the PGA has a major say in what you pack in that bag. I would be interested in knowing what fire extinguishers are on the play list. I suspect they are as verboten as a hipflask, chalk dust squirters, and those "10,000 yard" balls.

there is, of course, no Bad Old GM left.

he already shot down Amazon's drone plan, based on mathematics of powering electric planes, and the number that would have to be in the air.
now, if Google was going to use drones to deliver upgrades and patches...
but I bet it just looked cool, and they had cash in their pocket while window shopping.
guess I'm not going to walk into a wilderness roadhouse with my canoe hat and shoes, and start talking about the Laffer curve...

the BiteCon folks wanted to be rebels. let 'em.
I'd like to order ten thousand amplifiers and about 20,000 kick-ass bass cabinets... oh, and one microphone and phase inverter...

patents have expired, and there are millions of lenses out there.

everything can be spied on. everything.
this comment has been diluted 100,000 times to be politically correct.
do not plug the RJ45 cables in. log into the wireless router, and block them.
which reminds me, we have a PDF scanner that uses early XP at work, I have to tell the sysadmins about that unused POS.
we can require everybody to change their name. but we still end up with Anderson, Andersen, Anderssen, etc.
can't remember offhand if they ever settled that little spat or not. if not, beware!
for instance, how many times did they make one a noise-emitting diode?
