"That does not mean industrial pollution has not been a significant factor, Willson cautioned."
... and.. well, I could go on with several dozen other links, but who what's the point. Google it yourself if you want. If we're all gonna die, I have better things to do. Come to think if it, I do even if we aren't all gonna die.
And you would still end up with man made global warming.
Do you actually believe it's a good idea to give people who don't even have the power to decide at which time to brush their teeth - or rather the people who do control their lives - a vote? "Vote Sheriff Lobo, and we won't beat you up."
Nope. You are assuming that everyone in all countries have the same data plan as yourself. You are also assuming that everyone will only be using their iPhone inside the big cities with proper network coverage.
No, I am assuming that anybody with a iPhone also has an iPhone plan (because almost everywhere that is the only way to get one), IOW unlimited data.
... Apple won't let the company release it because it competes with Apple's own Safari browser.
That's totally different from saying it was rejected.
Actually it's misleading, von Tetzchner should have said "Apple wouldn't let..." not "won't". He is implying that Apple already said no, not that Opera hasn't asked Apple yet.
To quote TFA that started it all: "For less sophisticated phones and slower networks, [Opera] offers Opera Mini" - Opera Mini on the iPhone isn't competition, it's an insult.
Get a G1 and run android. You get Linux, an open source implementation of Java called Dalvik, and source code to the base applications, plus access to registering your app in their application market, and freedom to publish your own app and let people download it.
Update: A previously published version of this article concluded that the G1's browser and processor were able to render pages faster than the iPhone's. In response to reader comments regarding a Wi-Fi test, we have now run a set of tests and concluded that, indeed, both phones load pages at a similar speed over Wi-Fi. This means there's little difference in processor or browser performance. Clearly the G1 is a superior Web phone to the Omnia, but it seems to be O2's network that is holding the iPhone back.
So a little further testing brings a complete about-face.
In fact in both U.S.A. and France, publicly refusing the Armenian genocide is an offense punishable by law.
To paraphrase something that is said in practically every Slashdot discussion about censorship: So to fight the Turks, the Americans have become Turks themselves.
It was also wrong, because it refers to Turkey as a muslim country, whereas (despite the alleged reason for this ruling) Turkey is actually a secular state.
Exactly. When was the last time the Supreme Court tried to ban the ruling party because they broke the constitution by being too religious?
His charity sucked. But his sense that shareholders get the best possible return on assets rendered is the point.
Then why was he the richest man on Earth? Obviously he kept quite some for himself - and kept keeping it to himself. And when he was dead, he couldn't take it with him. Great way to live your life - cheat you shareholders out of tons of money and don't have fun doing it.
What happened with Sam Walton driving a pickup truck?
The same Sam Walton who didn't give much for charity, because he didn't believe in giving "any undeserving stranger a free ride"? Was he a better man because he makes Scotsmen look generous?
No doubt. Do note though that it was not an ex-husband, it was an ex-"husband" as the relationship was only in-game.
All of the articles linked are scary in the implications, but the virtual divorce in Japan one was the scariest to me.
She wasn't charged with killing him, she was charged with "illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data" aka "hacking". The judge decided that giving her the password some time ago and not changing it after the virtual divorce was not enough to not make his intent clear of no longer giving her any access to his account.

BTW, I'll see your article and raise you one: http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2005/09/sunwarm.html

The same people who say you can't "steal" data because it is still there will gladly say that you can lose it even if it's still there.
I wonder if you can't read. Who but you is talking about Opera Mobile? Neither the article nor Opera.
So you assume that people will switch to another browser when they go to the backwoods?
but it would be an enormous hassle for little gain (because the voter registration process is already easy).
It's so easy, even a dead person could do it!

Having a deadbeat relative precludes you from being President?
Heck, (once) being a deadbeat doesn't preclude you from being President.
Except Opera Mini is much, much better if you pay per MB or your network connection is slow. Stuff is typically compressed 80-90% or so.
IOW, it is absolutely unneeded on the iPhone.
The article says...

And it has a keyboard.
But you won't get Opera Mini - how evil is that?
But of course they would be acting anti-competitive if they allowed a browser on the app-store without removing Safari from the iPhone.
If current trends continue then more and more developers will develop apps to run on a browser instead of directly on the Operating System.
So why did Apple get so much flak when they released the iPhone and said "no software developer kit is required for the iPhone".
Maybe I missed something - but which phone can run VLC?
So your solution is to bring those who sell them the junk to power?
When you buy a mobile chip designer what else are you going to do with it?
The same you do when you buy a 3D graphics chips designer - not much? The only thing we see coming out of it is a person: Bob Mansfield - Senior Vice President, Mac Hardware Engineering
Why does it have a trackball?
That's a GPS - gonad positioning service.
