It is out in a few forms (triton eink, mirasol and there are others), but since it's not emitting light (and a few other reasons) it doesn't look as good as an LCD screen.
Ink is not supposed to be like an LCD screen. That is the entire point of ink.
And yes i know the technology is out, but companies like Amazon and B&N need to get on the stick and produce a product with it before its too late.
no, you could be in violation of the old version's eula. It can be changed at the whim of the owner of the software.( its not you ).
Like it or not, it's still a contract.
If i ever publish something again, the EULA will include some rather nasty options granted to me if its violated. AND will require physical registration with concrete acceptance of the contract before it will run so the 'nasties' will stand in court, as i realize the 'blind' acceptance of EULAs is a little shaky. ( talking the ones where by opening the box you agree, even before you see it )
I went the same route as you mention, from iPhone to galaxy skyrocket.
It wasn't due to the ability to customize, or really anything about the OS since i still prefer iOS over android, but understand its a trade off. The larger screen, removable battery, supported side loading, and SD slot are what sold me.
It was also much faster, but i was coming from a 3gs, so i assume a current iPhone wouldn't have been that much of a performance difference.
Many of their engineers still have a heart and haven't had it burnt out yet by the corporate grind.
But it will take a lot more than this to bring them out. They need an entire corporate culture change, not just a 'play room' down the hall with a cute sign and a big door.
They need to bring out color ink..*now*. And be a tad bigger than 6" too please.. Not huge, but a little bit..
But as far as their 'tablet-readers' they are pretty much toast once apple gets in the game, as i don't think their multimedia ecosystem will keep them afloat enough to make it worth while. Sure they could survive, but that isn't the point of a business unit.
Their book ecosystem will keep the ink-readers alive forever, however my biggest fear is they get out of the reader market completely, and just sell e-books and reader apps.. Then where will we get ink from other than Sony and mainland china?
It wasn't meant to be accurate word for word, but instead to represent the essence of it.
I think you also need to look up the definition of patriot. Lincoln was many things ( *none* good ) and he was not a vampire hunter. But nice try to diminish what Booth tried to do.
For those of us who use the network transparency of X11, its a attempt to 'return' to a simpler less functional time where your windowing sub-system assumed that you were all alone and had no friends.
A throwback, an abomination. It should have never been allowed to get this far, and the people responsible taken out back and 'dealt with.
You are out in public running around. They have access to both public and private data ( license plate matching ) and tech is now pretty cheap to do this and once setup it for the most part is self-mining.
Is it right? No. Is it legal? Yes. Get used to it? Yes.
They will go there too, dont worry. They have to start somewhere, the Sith was not created overnight either.
The *only* line will be profit. Which is too bad, as they were making quite a bit of money and still trying to do the right thing. I guess greed has taken over.

Technically, yes.

Depends on which kindle. Ink,yes its about books. Fire, its about multimedia. ( same for nook varieties ).

At that level its just a shiny object with no substance.
But then again, with what goes on in the political world these days perhaps it's appropriate.
That was my thought too. Its a free life insurance policy. A nice gesture, but not something magical.
New users will end up with the new version. Also they can, via EULA, forbid you to use older versions. Or even make them stop working.
Booth was a man who was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Patriot.
He was no better or worse than someone like Washington, only that the south had lost so he was not herald as a hero.
I agree it has nothing to with what is loaded, but if you have no hardware drivers or cant boot XP at all, then its not what they get.
That day is coming ( if its not here already for many models )

GNUCash is better suited for home.
For a business you want something like SQL/SMBLeger or project open.
Good luck with that. The government has been encroaching on our rights since it was formed. It wasn't 'fixable' then, you expect it to be now?
Get used to it and adapt.

Odd, my NT is running non-release CM9. It has been for a couple of weeks now at least.
Unless he meant the NC, then i cant say anything intelligent as i don't have one so never cared to look into it.
Or perhaps the NST... 'nook' is a family of devices..
"...he who gives up liberty..." bla bla bla.. Go look it up.

Or 'redefine evil'
Just search for it, we will tell you what evil is ( this week ).
They will go there too, dont worry. They have to start somewhere, the Sith was not created overnight either.
The *only* line will be profit. Which is too bad, as they were making quite a bit of money and still trying to do the right thing. I guess greed has taken over.
The logical destination is evil. Just ask Anakin.
Google can either stay agnostic, or will become just as bad as the rest and will be tossed aside at some point in the not to distant future.
From the description, ill pass. Just sounds like another way to eat our personal bandwidth and add more local attack vectors.
And a few 22.
But i suppose if you have been trained at birth to be afraid of firearms, even a 22 might make you pee your pants.
assault rifle capable of mowing down, well, just about anything
Nope no bias there.
And, just for the record its a *semi* automatic, so its not an 'assault' rifle. Phhft
