Yet without Jobs, they foundered. With him, they excelled. Without him again, they go back to foundering. Microsoft is foundering as they turned from innovation to market retention, playing a game of "me, too!" and using cash hemorrhages to copy what other companies did that worked.
Saying some little guy did something, never made much of it, then another company brought it big time is vastly different then waiting around for others to hit the big time then playing catch up.
The infantile arguing fails to recognize this difference.
Apple is now more like Microsoft, which is to say, more like IBM, which is to say,more like Xerox, when it required 37 manager sign offs to make one change to a product design, which opened the door to copies from faster-moving companies.
This thread isn't discussion. This thread is meme-instantiating cogs regurgitating half-baked thoughts they read elsewhere that gave them an emotional charge, inducing their meme storage apparatus to store it with a tag of "THIS BIG IDEARRR!"
I'm not sure cookies even matter anymore. Every site reports your ip and what you view to goog or amazon and it's stored. This fingerprints you, and if your ip address changes, they can reassign you purely by watching for that set of sites, which is essentially unique.
Cookies, gmail login, etc. hastrn this but are not really required. I am sure the NSA and so on do exactly the same thing just monitoring traffic flowing through their strategically-placed servers.
Buffoon, corporations are groups of people gathered together to take advantage of a legal structure created by Congress (or other legislature). They do not give up their rights to free speech in doing so.
Repeat that to yourself: free people do not give up their rights participating in corporations.
The "points" you people right here, right now, are so asinine I hereby accuse you of being a paid shill for dictatorship.
Oil doesn't matter. Seeds don't matter. In 100 years we'll have genetics completely computerized (probably sooner) so you can custom design organisms. You'll only see these things in a zoo, or a virtual zoo. What care do we have for moving back from the ocean when robots will do all the work as we sit in our virtual reality pods, if not uploaded fully?
We can less predict life's advancements in 100 years than 1900 could today's. It would be silly for them to do stuff which slowed their advancement in favor of protecting the environment.
Full Earth trantorization now! Because I love humanity.
I pointed out how electric cars will carry a surcharge tax, once they achieve a non-trivial fraction of purchases, because the roads must be paid for somehow, and if gas is disappearing...
This happened almost 30 years ago in the Netherlands with LPG car kits.
Pretty much. We knee all along we'd go back, but only when the Soviets made the move. But now it's China. Woe be to the president and party in power as China gets the high ground.
They are more afraid of losing votes stagnating some social program by 1% than of pissing off a million NASA fans, 2/3rds of which would never jump from their party anyway.
Didn't he cancel the predecessor? This is nothing unusual, of course. New administrations regularly cancel NASA programs of the previous admin, lest the some president stand there while it launches, thanking an erstwhile Kennedy for getting the ball rolling.
This has nothing to do with modernity, other than it is the dictator's Holy Grail of being able to track all financial transactions, and specifically, those of competitors to power.
Attention people bitching about New York: Detroit has superhighways going into its core and all it did was let people move out of the city to the suburbs.
When I got my first CUDA card, my Seti@home totals over 7 years doubled in two weeks. My next upgrade redoubled all that in three months.
This would redouble all that in days. I concluded there was little need to sweat working on it all along because doing nothing all those years, then buying one of these, say, would only put you a week or two behind where you'd otherwise be
Yes but the science was well against it all along, and the guy who claimed it had a financial interest in developing something lawyers could sue over.
Meanwhile, Jonas Salk died thinking his polio vaccine introduced AIDS to humans. His original vaccine, used only about a year before better ones came out, was created using monkey kidneys, which he feared may have had the simian AIDS believed to have spawned it.
We now know it preceded that date in humans by decades, but how horrible to think one of the greatest triumphs was also a deadly stroke.
Holly Golightly gets off the bus. She takes a few steps onto the sidewalk and reaches into her luxury Microsoft handbag and pulls out a danish. She bites it then sips some coffee in a foam cup. She saunters over to the window and gazes wistfully at things she will never have, like the displayed iPad on a velvet podium.
end the bureaucratic regulatory overreach of the internet
It is arguably overreach -- to take over such a massive thing unenvisioned by Congress. However, if that is the botwrangler's concern (it isn't) this is not helpful to your argument.
"Nawww, the spaceplane isn't a weapon (which is technically true). What's in the cargo hold includes these experiments..."
Probably included bleeding edge spy electronics in actual service, the only reason for such an extended mission beyond exercising for stress test reasons new electron8cs and materials, which Nasa would have covered already in ongoing missions.
I didn't think of it that way. I just thought they screwed up by releasing it so close to the blackout. But if it will shoot around like wildfire anyway, thanks to bots, then responding to it remains illegal in France.
Hillary got more votes. Trump only won because of the college.
There's a meme picture floating around where a chess king is cornered in checkmate. Suddenly it opens up with Hillary's voice, "If you look at the board, you will see I actually have more pieces, so I really won."
I understand your claim, but it is very bitter to keep repeating it. I'm sure Brian Griffin will repeat it for the next 8 years, like he did with the 2000 election.

I wonder what asking you for your opinions on anything is worth.

Surgery, lol. Try lasers, welcome to 20 years ago. Latest is variable wavelength which can zap all colors, it destroys the color molecules directly.
Even without climate change, it's silly to think there won't be a string of unusually warm years leading to a situation like this.
Commercial use is where all the money is, and that's where Congresspeople can get donations to stop getting in the way of things.
This is the way most of the world operates. It is just lessened and pushed even more underground in the US and Europe.
BTW, they want tax simplification, as was done in the 1980s, to get rid of most loopholes so they can hand them back out again in upcoming years.
Learn from history.

Poor if you do, poor if you don't.
That is what entertainment awards ceremonies were created for, admittedly: to generate interest in the industry to sell tickets.
To be fair, Netflix only cares for the exact same reason.
No, that's Palm d'Hairy.
