Systems setup in 7-11s in Japan actually do the ordering itself? and not only mundane repeat orders. It actually orders depending on weather, temperature and date/time of year. E.g +3 degrees change in temperature and it orders more beer, etc.
Cool system, maybe Nasa could learn something from them.
Launching the Office Suite installed on winXP Home SP2, with the program's "Quick Starter" feature disabled, produced the following results: OpenOffice Writer loaded in 10 seconds. The Spreadsheet (OO Calc) in 11 seconds. The Powerpoint-like presentations module (Impress): 9 seconds. OO Base (a new database program): 5 seconds. With Quick Starter enabled: OO Write: 3 seconds. OO Calc: 7.5 seconds. OO Impress: 6 seconds. OO Base: 2 seconds.

You fail to mention its not only Gateway thats dumping MS Office.
So is the worlds largest PC maker HP, best selling notebook maker Toshiba, Dell since '01, and IBM. But all offer Microsoft Office as an option for ++ money.
People like alot of things. They like BMWs to Mazdas too. But it all comes down to money's worth and if it gets the job done cheaper, then why not.
$100-$200 on a system is %10-%20 of of the total cost of a $1000 system. Thats alot of money of an OEM whose margins are barely %3-%4.
Fat pipes don't make a difference surfing the net. Its broadband applications that can use the xtra flow that need it e.g video chat, on-demand video , fat downloads etc., and for that traffic usually stays local here.
Plus almost everyone I know runs some kind of server and mirrors content and downloads. Like, think of p2p, first few downloads come from the outside, then the rest gets distributed locally.
In Japan we get 8Mbps adsl service for less than $50 and they're testing a 12Mbps service, which is slated for service pretty soon. Damn awesome, like nowhere else in the world:) with that who needs internet2?;)
Looney town is in full tune, read among other things....
a) It looks so bloated b) where is my source code c) It looks nice but I like doin' things the ass way, like mounting and unmounting by hand and digging around the muck and blah blah blah...
Why don't you try it first before commenting? and second, egoistic bastards who don't have a job or don't have to get things done other than tinker with the box can screw yourselfs.
Two months ago, they didn't have a decent site up, just a 1 page press release.
Just about the same time there was a small article about it in pcmag I think, very thin on any info, giving the same fodder about running Win apps on linux and blah....blah
There was an announcement that they'd be releasing an alpha/beta at the end of the year, then we can take a look at it ourselves.
But, if what they say is true, then hell they probably have half of India churning out code for them.
Where they know what you watch, what you listen to, who you are and where and what you surf, where you live, where you work, what games you play, your credit card number, and some day who you voted for.
And much much more.
With all their products spread across from one end of the spectrum to the other, wouldn't be that difficult for them to stich all the user info together and actually end up knowing more about you than your mother does.
i've seen some bad articles in my times, but this one might take the cake. No new info, no moral of the story, not funny, sad, no nothin' except for what we already know. And what's that 'Deport me to save the Broadband industry' thing all about? How that article gets a mention here, I got no idea.
Of Amiga and my old C64 back then. Wonder if it's going to be the same fun, like truly hackabily, or is Sony going to keep the good stuff off limits. Does anyone know if you could boot it off other than its cd-drive?
'yo, hang on there for a 'min. Did you say 'YELLOW' threat? man, WTF, where the fuck did you come from, you uncivilized racist POC (piece of shit). Now crawl back into that stinky hole from where you came.
Just so you know why OS/2 is on all those ATM machines you see out there, it's because those are 'IBM' machines made by IBM, installed by IBM and serviced by IBM, and it was IBM who put OS/2 in them. Since you're dealing with the banks, i.e if it ain't broke don't fix it, OS/2 lives happily on those machines.

Slashdot Mirror
That would make keeping your computers patched a high priority for most of the users.
What has that to do anything with this story? RTFA and please stop blaming the user for everything.
Running WinXP SP2 and fully patched system. I run Norton anti-virus, spybot, Ad-aware and now MS Antispyware and enabled autoupdate.
Checked out Secunia, ran their test and my system was found vulnerable.
What more should I patch?
The articles not even up 3 minutes and its slashdotted already!
3 minutes, as i'm writing there're 2 comments. This ain't right.
Well, this brings me to this other thing we should be using, a space elevator.
:)
7-11 order inventory system + space elevator = mars here we come!

My eyeballs just fell off the table.. *groan*
"its makers plan to program the robot in English -- not for export, but to teach the language to Japanese children."
We gaijin engrish teachers are doomed NOW!
I for one welcome our new english teaching overloards at NOVA HQ!
I think that honor goes to the Engrish Speakers in Japan!

So you're suggesting we dump the subways and get in our cars, because of the ads., and for that you get modded insightful???
Is that really a reason to clog the roads? contribute more to air and noise pollution?
Don't think so.
Think hard, before posting.

Thank You.
You Crazy Americans can gone on an' do whatever you want, just leave the rest of us alone.
Is it possible that this company is actually backed by Billy? And just to knock us off the trail, they have this phony suits about Lin and Win.
I can't think of any other way, they're doin' it.
And not to mention how quick these guys are. How did it take Wine to do all that it can now?
How the hell did they get M$ Explorer to run there beats me. This is way too fishy.
Vaporware is what I call it.

I wish i could fire that $2 million missile into that $10 tent you live in, and hit you in the butt.

That's exactly what my Sony Vaio does actually right now, except for running for days, that, not yet!
