The invention of fertilizer allowed 6 billion people to be fed.
GM is what will allow us to continue feeding the planet as the population grows.
So if you're against it, I assume you will do your part, and restrict your eating (especially meat), and get a vasectomy to prevent yourself from contributing to the population problem.
Instead of simply notifying Samsung's affiliates, they should have just sued Samsung and the affiliates for violating the order by continuing the sale of the devices.
you must not be in the US then. No-swipe (RFID) credit cards are common, and rfid credit card scanners are all over the place. You just wave your card over the scanner, and it charges it.
never read digg regularly.. so I'll take everything you said at its word. But according to alexa, there are 90k links to slashdot, and over 1million to digg. So people are definitely still linking to them.
And if you're using it in a business environment, it should be fully depreciated by now.
Computer equipment depreciates over 5 years. In 2007, Intel was releasing dual and quad core processors--no 8 core processors. So there is NO WAY his machine is fully depreciated.
Did you actually read that whitepaper? Amazon says you should encrypt the data BEFORE uploading it to S3. Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know about S3's security? And to top it all off, at the end:

Just because the WHO says the girls haven't been poisoned doesn't mean they are not being attacked. Girls have had acid thrown in their faces repeatedly. And when you're face is scared for life, there's no dispute that it happened:
It's practically common knowledge the Chinese get paid next to nothing for assembling those products. Apple, HP, Dell, etc.. make Foxconn and other suppliers submit a list of all of their expenses to produce a good, and then Apple (et al) decides how much profit they will be allowed. They then demand decreases each year.
He complains that Windows RT won't launch until "later this year". Is he really complaining that an entire operating system won't be available for a few more months?! This is just stupid. An operating system is not simply a new version of notepad. It takes time and a lot of resources to develop.
He says Windows Mobile has deteriorated. So has Nokia, RIM, Palm, etc, etc, etc, etc. Apple really knocked the ball out of the park, and Android isn't helping. This is tough competition for everyone in the industry, and Microsoft -- just like RIM and Nokia -- knows it needs some major improvements to compete.. which they are working on.
I read that to mean pretty much what you think a good CEO should say.
^ this. No where did he say nothing was wrong, everything is fine. He said they are reducing expenses, launching a new platform, and new products, etc, etc, etc.
The article only talks about CEOs.. so Sergey doesn't count, because he isn't the CEO. Page has a bachelor's in computer engineering from the University of Michigan and a masters in computer science from Stanford University.
The CEO is generally an employee of the company. Do you really expect a board (most of whom also have degrees and are often CEOs of other companies) to hire someone without a degree to lead their company? Of course not.
So yes, CEOs will generally have degrees. The only time there is an exception is when the person founded the company, and built it themselves. And apparently in tech, there are only 3 of those left at the moment (gates, zuckerberg, ellison).
Of course, college dropouts (or those who never started) account for a much larger portion than 20% of the population.. so if anything, college dropouts are LESS likely to make it that far.

Good for you. But..

That would be much nicer, right?
I never said they were actually used. Just that banks put the chip in the cards, and the readers are fairly common.
Even I don't actually *use* them. It's not like it saves any time over just swiping the card.
yes, they are both rfid

digg is still bigger than slashdot.. about 5x bigger

Yes, Apple had a fantastic quarter, with either growing or falling Mac sales.
It's stupid to use 3rd party sales projects when we can just wait a couple of months for the quarterly report from the actual company.
No one wants Microsofts products? Really.
Revenue grew 12% and profits 23% over the past year

Granted Apple has had an phenomenal past few years. But that doesn't mean MS is Nokia.
FTFA: Apple sales up 4.3%
Rigghht... when has Gartner ever been wrong?
Apple's Mac sales fell (IDC) or grew (Gartner) last quarter

That's the thing: amazon can encrypt your data with aes256.. but they are saying you should encrypt it yourself before uploading it.
In other worse, their encryption is not good enough to comply with HIPPA

Creative accounting anyone? :)
baseless accusations anyone? Got any facts?
It's practically common knowledge the Chinese get paid next to nothing for assembling those products. Apple, HP, Dell, etc.. make Foxconn and other suppliers submit a list of all of their expenses to produce a good, and then Apple (et al) decides how much profit they will be allowed. They then demand decreases each year.
So, yes.. their profits are terrible.
Ok, fine.. let's attack his argument.
He says the past 10 years have been 'lost'. Yet, profits and revenue have more than tripled.

He complains that Windows RT won't launch until "later this year". Is he really complaining that an entire operating system won't be available for a few more months?! This is just stupid. An operating system is not simply a new version of notepad. It takes time and a lot of resources to develop.

This is tough competition for everyone in the industry, and Microsoft -- just like RIM and Nokia -- knows it needs some major improvements to compete.. which they are working on.
So what's his real complaint?
That he got fired from Microsoft.
Wow.. Elop tripled profits and revenue in a matter of months?!
Either that, or you're full of shit

72.8 million in profits for all of 2011, on 6.35 billion of revenue
I wouldn't be too concerned about Foxconn taking over IT any time soon.
I read that to mean pretty much what you think a good CEO should say.
^ this. No where did he say nothing was wrong, everything is fine. He said they are reducing expenses, launching a new platform, and new products, etc, etc, etc.
That's the opposite of saying nothing is wrong.
The article only talks about CEOs.. so Sergey doesn't count, because he isn't the CEO. Page has a bachelor's in computer engineering from the University of Michigan and a masters in computer science from Stanford University.
So Page is not a college drop out.
So I have to correct myself after checking the article. The 3 tech CEOs without degrees are zuckerberg, ellison, and dell.
Gates is no longer the CEO of microsoft, so he does not count. Likewise, Jobs does not count either.
The CEO is generally an employee of the company. Do you really expect a board (most of whom also have degrees and are often CEOs of other companies) to hire someone without a degree to lead their company? Of course not.
So yes, CEOs will generally have degrees. The only time there is an exception is when the person founded the company, and built it themselves. And apparently in tech, there are only 3 of those left at the moment (gates, zuckerberg, ellison).
College drop outs account for 20% of the 657 self-made billionaires in the world:

right you are
