It doesn't sound like they are actually forbidding the use of Windows 8. They are just forbidding the purchase of windows 8. I guess as long as pirated copies are used, then everything is fine?
I use Facebook quite a bit. I also leave nearly all of my information as viewable publicly. This digital shadow app couldn't even accurately present information that is publicly posted or information to which it was given implicit access by logging in through Facebook.
Location, Active times, close friends, income.. All completely wrong.
I think that page is just a ruse to gain access to your Facebook information, which will then be used for other purposes.
Also, why would you need swiftkey? The android keyboard does the same thing now.
Swiftkey allows you to type in two different languages without autocorrect issues. This is a HUGE deal for people who use regularly use different languages when typing on their phones.
All that reads like pretty standard War Room activities for a launch of this size. There is a reason they chose the name "War Room" for these things. It is just a central location where issues are triaged, and it can be chaotic after a launch. This is an example of the press trying to make a big story out of something that isn't news by reporting on something that most people don't understand.
I would be more concerned by the lack of a war room than from war room chaos.
Surely he meant Columbia, South Carolina as the university in New York wouldn't make sense. And DC would be a horrible place for a canal. Nevertheless, your point is still valid as South Carolina is also long, long, long way from the Pacific ocean.
Well they had a renault engineer on the phone. I would think that he would have tried the things you mentioned. I suspect this was a legit case of a serious malfunction.
HP is going after GM. The contract that they are talking about is the contract that HP has with GM not a contract between HP and its employees. HP will be seeking compensation from GM in this case as there is most likely a contract preventing GM from poaching HP's employees.
Nevertheless, Once HP makes it public that they are laying off a large number of employees, it only makes sense that the HP employees on the GM account would first explore their options with GM. I would bet that the HP employees initiated this and not GM, but that is why HP wants to depose them.
Not really. The CEO of Bet on Sports, was a UK Citizen, living in Costa Rica and was arrested while changing planes in the US just because some of his customers turned out to be US citizens. He spent 33 months in jail, as I understand it.
The Federal system doesn't have parole. And federal prisoners must complete at least 85% of their sentence, so good behavior will get him a 15% reduction at most.
My standard IOS 5 alarm app does recurring alarms just fine. I can't say what the alarm app did or did not do before IOS5, but the app in IOS 5 has no problem with setting up and alarm for every weekday at 6:30am. Siri can't set it for you though.
The new Siri is integrated into the new iPhone 4S,which is what I am using. And yes, it uses off-device assets. It was released with the 4S last Friday.
Not only does Siri not do translations, the command / control functions that she is supposed to do, are extremely limited. Siri, at least for me, fails to work most of the time even for the incredibly simple tasks that I have tried, such as calling contacts and playing certain songs.
For example, Siri can set the alarm for 6:00am, but if I want that alarm to be set for every weekday, that task is too complex for her.
Siri can play songs, provided that your song list is filled with popular songs in english by artists with English sounding names, but if you are using Siri in English and happen to have songs in German by German artist, then Siri is useless. Ditto for making calls to contacts whose names aren't common names for the language you are using Siri in.
Siri actually doesn't seem to be much better than IBMs voice recognition software that I used nearly 20 years ago.
I can't see why anyone is remotely impressed with Siri, it is just a useless waste of time as far as I can tell. Google translate, on the other hand seems really impressive with being able to recognize the speech and translate it to another language.
I'm totally with you. Unfortunately, my magic trinity of devices that do all that has been on the fritz ever since I purchased it. What model are you using?
Now if Google Voice would only let me forward my google voice number to a SIP URI, then I would be in great shape.
I have been doing this with Gizmo for some time and it worked great, now that its disapearing. I could forward GV to Gizmo and then send Gizmo to a SIP URI that terminated in my hosted Asterisk server and from there I could do basically whatever I wanted.
I would also like the ability to forward my Google Voice number to an international number, which Google Voice doesn't offer even as a paid service.
While I'm complaining, It would also be great if I could purchase GV credit and send outbound traffic from my Asterisk or Kamailio to GV via SIP.
I agree. With everything that has been published in the day about this, I haven't heard anyone talking about the RAM. It sounds like the iPad2 will have the same 256k, which just isn't enough.
I haven't seen a single article that even mentions the RAM in the iPad2.
Aside from the technical sites, the worst offenders in this area are the Hotel sites. The search results for anything related to Hotels or Travel are loaded with sites that simply try to hide the hotels actual sites from you. They use misleading URLs that try to trick you into believing you are visiting the Hotel's actual website, and the prices are always higher than they will be if you are able to actually find the Hotel's actual website. If this can help all of those sites die, all the better.

some of these new replacements are $500.

In most any music store in Lima, Peru, you can pick up a cheap violin for about $25.

MCI should appear in that chart well before WorldCom 2003.
Awesome. Now if we can just tunnel VOIP through it we can have free calling as well.
Soon we'll see guys standing on streetcorners with signs.

He is a genius. We just can't even comprehend what it is he wants to say.
Actually, I think he is smoking crack. I didn't even get past the headline before it stopped making any sense.
He has just the right mix of genius and batshit crazy.
