Certainly, that's the reason I am uninterested in their product. They squeeze and resell enough information out of me already; I'm not ready to pay them for the privilege of trawling through every last bit of information that goes to or from my household, at any rate of speed.
Exactly. I switched to a standing desk, and love it. I stay energized throughout the day. YMMV. To break it up, I walk around a lot during phone calls.
I had my desk custom built, but that can be pricey. A friend of mine that works at Amazon was provided a different solution when he asked for a standing desk: a door blank on top of four sturdy posts. A wonderfully broad work surface, and stable as heck.
4.5% of 100,000,000 is 45,000,000. 66% of 10,000,000 is 6,600,000. My PC numbers are obviously low and my mac numbers exaggerated, but you get the point.
Factor up or down as you like, but 66% growth in Macs just isn't the same.
If you read the article and look at the charts, you'll see they state only percentages and no actual raw numbers to evaluate on our own.
Math check please: 4.5% of 100,000,000 is 4,500,000, which is less than 6,600,000. You're right of course that the percentages mean a lot less without actual numbers to back them up, but if you are going to troll, do it creditably.
Apple just release its updated specifications for iTunes and Podcasting. Are there similar breaks with respect to RSS 2.0? If so, then perhaps Apple is in fact changing their approach. If not, then perhaps the Photocasting situation is not necessarily the result of evil intentions.
My first serious education in programming and electronics comes from the way too many hours I spent learning and working with applesoft BASIC and the guts of my old II+ and later the IIe. I learned alot about assembly language and really enjoyed wire-wrapping my own interface boards for things like a robot arm and a remote controlled race car.
I remember with particular fondness my first (hardware!) voice synthesizer. That was very exciting for the time. "Do not teach Sweet Talker naughty words" would be uttered every time during start-up. You would have to string together phonemes to get words out.
I really miss how accessible everything used to be. I would say that things were simpler back then, but of course that's to be expected, and it is debatable as to whether that made them better.
Apple did not protect itself adequately before Microsoft created Windows. All of Apple's litigation regarding look and feel got tossed out of court, with MS able to continue without restraint. Apple's attorneys seem to be very good at reactive work, such as cease and desist orders, but not too good on the preventative side.
If this really is an Apple-branded phone (or other device), that is, an Apple version of a product otherwise available without the Apple logo, then Apple is treading ground that it hasn't visited in quite some time (mugs and T-shirts aside). Apple designs and manufactures (or contracts to manufacture) everything it sells under its brand name. It has been a long time since Apple has tried to sell someone else's product by slapping their logo on it. In fact, I can't remember the last time. Is this a first for them? Time to put that brand value to work.
The last I heard, Samsung was looking to increase its portable music player marketshare in 2006 to something like 10%, and become the dominant player (no pun intended) in the market by the end of 2007. If so, why sell cheap memory to its biggest competitor?
Ya know, I just had this great image in my head of a space shuttle rolling up to the nearest full serve Shell gas station, with the commander whipping out her credit card and asking to have a quick check of the tiles.
I bet he pulls in a lot more than that. It's worth a lot of money, in terms of lowered car insurance premiums, to not have a moving violation on one's record.
This might make it finally worth my while to print out pdf documentation that accompanies software purchases. It has not been (I tell myself) cost, but the godawfull amount of time it would take to get a manual out as soon as I realize I'm in trouble and need that manual right away.
Yeah, how about micrometers (10^-6 meters) instead? That would give this thing a diameter of about 0.8 millimeters, which is a lot more believable. Still pretty small for a camera.

Apple Airport Extreme Base Station lets you set up a well protected separate guest network. Used it with no troubles for a while now.
Dunno... I always thought the name "Serenity" had a vaguely funereal sound to it.
Might not bode too well for their life support.
I can't see how a calzone wouldn't fit the bill. It's just an inside-out pizza.

That can be arranged...
Where's your prime directive when you really need one?

... a pretty neat idea!

Still do, though I don't generally let that on in public.

Yep. I've had my kids. If I live long enough, diabetes will probably move from manageable to curable. Definitely willing to take the chance.
But Samsung make their own players. They are competing against themselves.

Let's cut to the chase. We don't need no stinkin' comments!
