Agreed. I'll keep reading and moderating and meta-moderating etc to try to do my part to keep things from going in this direction, but feels like I'm losing this battle.
I downloaded the most recent nightly build of webkit and ran sunspider to benchmark it, then compared to the ff3 versions mention in the original article. I found webkit to be 65% faster. It looks like Firefox is going to continue to have tough competition.
A quasi-point 5 of Dvorak's is that Apple may have been planning the switch to Windows when Gates was on the stage with Jobs after an investment. OVER SEVEN YEARS AGO.
That's pre-OS X release. That's only shortly after Jobs was in as interim CEO. Now that is keeping your options wide open.
I am very happy about this development. I have many headaches with IE on the mac - especially to do with speed complaints. That browser had not been updated except for compatability code for over three years, which for the internet is far too long. Customers expect better, but because microsoft continued to present IE for mac as a current product on their mac page (microsoft.com/mac) customers continued to download and use it as their primary browser.
"It says something about the way we learn compared to chimps and should be interesting to cognitive scientists and those interested in computational learning theory, at the least."
This seems to me to be the important point, rather than the besting of human children that is currently the focus of comments. Do we learn by doing less efficiently than they do? Do they learn by following examples less efficiently than we do?
I appreciate the posting of this sort of article link - thinking is a science for all.
following a few simple interface guidelines would suffice - it doesn't have to be gaudy like the Kai or flashy like first person shooter game menus - this is a crazy mix of interfaces from 10.2, 10.3 and Windows XP - style buttons. This isn't anywhere near ready for primetime usage unless it's been camoflauged to throw sneaks off the scent.
the problem comes from being online at all - if someone is online often, the content the access dictates the platform they need to access that content - being online means keeping your hardware relatively up to date, for the average user at least.
Active desktop could not do anything of the sort - no runtime availability, no konspose / expose functionality - only the same base functionality is there.
being able to skip commercials with a remote means there is more of a potential for me to stop and watch some of the advertising when I feel like it, which does happen. When I was not able to skip over things, I completely ignored ads and busied myself with something else during breaks consistently.
If I remember correctly, there is a very simple reason that communication via light would be secure -
In the quantum world, if you interact with the light, you change it in some way, no matter what, and since eavesdropping would involve interacting with the signal, the signal would not be exactly the same.
I can't find a use for BBEdit outside of this niche these days either. I once used it to open stubborn text files and the like (much like I once used GraphicConverter to open stubborn image files), but the only reference I've seen in software recently to BBEdit it in dreamweaver's option to work with this app to edit code and the like. I imagine that this experience is not unique - it seems that as more standards support is added to the mac os, and as file systems become stronger, there is less and less use for this sort of app.

Why wouldn't one proceed thusly
98 - Me - XP
and omit win2k?
From a home user standpoint, that's how it went for many people.
For business it might have gone NT (different versions of NT) - win2k - vista.
Seems like he mixed the two together to keep to one timeline for simplicity of the video.
Thanks!
Do we know for sure that the images the OCR is performed on are 960x720 as opposed to the resolution the camera takes before display? (5 MP camera)
Are you looking forward to April's release? I'll try it out tonight with 4.2
I'm curious. How is he a nutbar?
I've been through his entire political platform a number of times, and it all seems very rational and sensical to me. What am I missing?
Making up words is sensical.
Not a word? It has become one in common use among colleagues of mine. Oxford disagrees with you:
caveat
noun
a warning or proviso of specific stipulations, conditions, or limitations.
That's odd, I'm charging my iPod shuffle off of my intel mac mini as I type this.

I don't think so.

Naturally they are upset - they want that market!

You forgot a GNU/Parenthesis!
please don't stop =p
User error ? stupid user. When we say that user error is to blame, we are not saying someone is unintelligent.

Yes -

We don't charge you until we ship. You didn't pay any money yet. =)

USB 1.1 is so cheap now that it can be seen as an added benefit to consumers while not adding significantly to the cost.
phew! I feel like I should add that I don't use dreamweaver on a regular basis now to save my ego from a bruising!
It seemed to me this was all about internet gifts! Sounds like a local business - http://surprise.com/ But I was wrong...
