Mod this up... As a manager, I would be a total failure if I didn't ensure all systems were adequately documented. Yes, it's probably the most challenging task next to HR.
Since you can VNC or RDP over to any computer, I've used Excel and Work on the iPad and it's not bad at all provided the RPD/VNC app can make the touch-screen emulate mouse functions properly. This however, will also be a challenge for MS' version of Office.
Android doesn't have Microsoft's office suite. Those Android activations are mainly for smartphones and not tablets. So Android is beating WP7 for certain.
That might be true. I think Apple tries its best to avoid or settle trademark disputes but it's impossible to know about all of the products. What's funny in this case is the suit is originating from a country where knock-off products are common place and culturally entrenched. Even the Apple Store was copied. It's kinda ironic.
Well if you believe in Canadian sovereignty you should encourage Canadian artists. I did a quick survey in school (grade 5-12) and most (90%) have no idea who the Canadian Prime Minister is. They all know who Barack Obama is of course. Maybe we should start adding stars to our flag?
I disagree. Quebec has something the rest of Canada doesn't: a distinct culture. Blasting away Quebec would just make Canada a non-official state of the USA.
This might just means Microsoft hired more bloggers than Google to boost their ratings. Also they don't have any iOS devices that I can see. Also note the top three unlocked phones are all running Android.
Regardless of the origin, they only reached a 4.0-magnitude earthquake, and in Ohio. I would just up the building code to ensure buildings can withstand, to be on the safe side, 5.0-magnitude earthquakes and let them continue once all old and new buildings are up to the new standards. It might even boost employment...
I can see some hope with some companies allowing 5-10 computers to run from the same on-line account without needing access to the CD. It's not perfect as you still have to manage those installations and keep track of you on-line account.
Imagine, you can make him say anything you want. I would make him speak in 'Mars Attack' martian voice: tak tak taaak. Or maybe random obscenities a la Tourette...
Not that long ago, no one thought notebooks could replace a desktop computer. I believe it will be possible for tablets to replace most of systems - Apple and Google certainly want to redefine computing.
Unions have their purpose but today this isn't as much a problem as it was years ago. Unions recognize the value of employees over their lifetime vs a company who sees profits above all else. Not too long ago, women got fired when they expect a child, or worse they just weren't hired. Thanks to unions, many countries now have a labour code which prevent most of these abuses. Unions are not all bad.
Today, companies are also competing for talented employee and attract them with outstanding work conditions. The most progressive even help employees reach a better balance between their family life and their work life.
I thought patents were based on the method and not the product/service in and of itself. Everyone could implement their method slightly differently (that's the trick part) and be scot-free.
I believe Canada, UK and Europe don't recognize software patents. Does this mean some software will not be legal in the US?
From Wikipedia: United Kingdom patent law is interpreted to have the same effect as the European Patent Convention such that "programs for computers" are excluded from patentability to the extent that a patent application relates to a computer program "as such". Current case law in the UK states that an (alleged) invention will only be actually regarded as an invention if it provides a contribution that is not excluded and which is also technical. A computer program implementing a business process is therefore not an invention, but a computer program implementing an industrial process may well be.
From another source: In June 1993, the Canadian Patent Office replaced its August 1, 1978 guidelines and published them for the "information and guidance" of practitioners. They were:
"1. Computer programs per se are not patentable.
2. Processes which are unapplied mathematical calculations, even if expressed in words rather than in mathematical symbols, are not patentable.
3. A process and/or computer program which merely produces information for mental interpretation by a human being is not patentable, nor does the process or program confer novelty upon the apparatus which uses it.
4. Claims drawn up in terms of means plus function which merely produces intellectual data are not patentable.
5. New and useful processes incorporating a programmed computer, are directed to patentable subject matter if the computer related matter has been integrated with another practical system that falls within an area which is traditionally patentable.
6. The presence of a programmed general purpose computer or a program for such computer does not lend patentability to, nor subtract patentability from, an apparatus or process."
Also Mac OS X Lion (Ultimate Edition) which is included. Windows Ultimate costs another $200 if not more. You might want to get it anyways but only if you need to run Windows on your Mac.
Clearly Jerry Coyne was shortsighted. He should have insisted that a copy of the tape be provided to him immediately after the debate. In all fairness, we only have one side of the story.

Good luck getting other countries to recognize your virtual nation.

Sounds like it plays asteroids with cancer cells. I hope there are no UFOs to mess things up and it doesn't attack anything else.
JotForm now seems to work from Canada.

I hope confusing clients is a proven marketing tactic because MS is going at it full force.

But unlike MS, Apple has its own hardware.
This begs the question as to who generates more exitons: Sara Underwood or Candace Bailey?

On average more than 3 children are killed by automobiles each day in the USA. Let's not get distracted away from efforts to make automobiles safer.
Patents are now commodities which can be bought and sold and just like weapons, they can be used to attack an enemy. Welcome to corporate warfare.

Hence the Italian proverb: Molto sa chi sa che non sa.
-Much knows someone who knows he doesn't know.
