Well put. Revenue is much more predictable in a "rental" type business. It started subtly with yearly maintenance fees, then support fees, then "software assurance" models, and now WebOS/cloud computing. I am almost alarmed that personal information is being shared as it is today. One can refer to this as the next computing paradigm. The only thing that needs fixing is the bandwidth and I have no idea who is going to take care of it. I'm surprised that Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, etc. is not taking over from traditional communication companies.
We getting rather off topic here. Where are the moderator's with troll and off-topics?
China's censor is designed for Chinese who live in China. I see no problem with that unless you are part of a resistance movement who want to attempt a coup against the Chinese government.
On top of that there are millions of brilliant researchers between 12 and 17 whose only mission is to make the work better by writing software allowing the poor to steal from the rich. They feel justified in doing so and no amount of education is going to help. It's their way of being mischievous and not physically hurting anyone.
That being said, it will not hurt to include, with the computer, some instructions so the user doesn't hurt someone's feelings by carelessly sharing passwords or cause Yahoo to be victim of a DDoS. But other than that, the comparison is clearly exaggerated.
They should have, No-so-sure-it-is-a-woman Olympics and the They-are-likely-doped-up Olympics. I would leave Jacques Rogue to decide for himself which are female be Women. I believe he is French and probably has a fairly clear definition of what a Woman is.
I am curious to find out who is servicing that 30 year old console. Maybe you had to learn to service it yourself. After all, most parts for the 360 are available off the shelf and there are plenty of dead 360's to cannibalize exclusive parts from for not much money.
Not to mention the cost of the equipment you had to replace and the clinic bills because of the Wiimote's destructive powers (impact damage to plasma TVs, black-eyes, etc.). That's easily several extra hundred dollars.
Why not nuclear power? They can use nuclear power on an aircraft carrier to power the conversion at minimal cost and zero extra emissions.
Taking this one step further, and with some creativity develop a nicely controlled natural uranium-deuterium based fission reaction that could produce sufficient power to run a jet at minimal risks.
I wonder how works of fiction, such as what is posted in 4chan, would fit in all this. I say works of fiction as this is the disclaimer posted on top of the page. I presume those anons are fairly safe as long as they don't claim it's reality.
I found this to be of possible interest if you have enough computers. It provides a unique URL for each machine where you could possibly store all the information and retrieve in from your handheld device when making a service call or performing an inventory.
RFIDs are also interesting as they can help monitor movement of computers and prevent theft.
However, this is a little beyond computer naming nonetheless could make the name completely irrelevant.
As a consumer you might have right above and beyond whatever is in the contract. They cannot put a clause, for example, that goes against any laws. You cannot make you sign away those rights, at least where I live.
I think MS and Google are trying to monetize their services. The skewed results are most likely the result of this and unlikely the work of the evil MS. BTW: Thanks to the article, I now know why Macs are so expensive: "We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk, and our DNA won't let us ship that." -Steve Jobs.
Without further refinement, they'll get results meaningful only to Silverlight users. This means that technical terms some of us use aren't going yield the results we'd expect from Google.
Well it depend if you buy in the rare earth hypothesis or not. It might be interesting to do a mathematical model of the solar system and throw a few large objects towards the Earth and see how Jupiter plays its role. I believe this was part of the hypothesis by Ward and Brownlee.
Microsoft doesn't scare me. In fact, I like Microsoft. What scares me are IT people who are trained and know only Microsoft technologies. Those are the sort of people I would never hire. The same goes for people who know only Linux. They will do fine in entry level positions but as soon as they get into management, they will corrupt the organization.
Since nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light, it unlikely to have measurable mass. However, since E=MC^2 if a photos has enough energy, it can gain weight.
I feel sad for their people. However, the solution has to come from within. Now that USA has freed itself from the tyranny of the extreme right, we can hope that Iran can do the same. Remember, regimes do fall, often with no violence or war.

This is clearly demagogy and exaggeration.

Dude, that's like having vehicle makers take care of the roads since they cause most of the traffic.

I'm still playing consoles over 30 years old

"why windows is expensive" returns completely different results - not particularly pro-Microsoft.
Bing is only getting popular because of IE8's upgrade. So far, I don't see a reason to change but I like the fact the Google will need to stay sharp.

Breaking news: Apple has 100% of the computer market share of OS X compatible PCs.
Well, almost 100%. The point of TFA is that other compters sell at prices over $1000. Apple has the highst market share in that category.
This means that HP, Dell and others simply cater to people who do not need the Apple logo.
Mark me redundant.

For the next version, I think Windows 9000 has a nice ring to it. Well I remember the old Windows 1.0. Finally we'll soon be out of beta.
They even suck in C&C Generals Zero Hour. Although, they don't require that much maintenance.

You are an independent third party.
Waitaminute here. If they were that powerful, they could have simply said "screw you" to the publishers. I think you want a more Big Amazon.
and I think we have enough female astronauts to have a women only lunar mission.
