If the man at the top and a team of Microsoft's best engineers faced defeat, what chance do ordinary punters have of keeping their Windows PCs virus-free?
Edit from anywhere.
There's nothing to download; you access your spreadsheets from any computer with an Internet connection
This will be an instant winner for one reason... Open Office and Excel would now be fully compatitable... using this intermediary "google format"... awesome! I love it!
Finally, somebody that remembers Number Munchers. All my friends know "Oregon Trail", but when I mention "Number Munchers"... they have no clue what I'm talking about. Long live the classics!
"I have a very low opinion of human nature, which is that people are both greedy and lazy," declares Michael "Monty" Widenius, co-founder and chief technical officer of MySQL, which is based in Cupertino, Calif. "Of course you have noble people, but they are a small fraction."
Now that's how to gain customers! Insult them in FORTUNE magazine!
E-mail shouldn't really go away, we need to recreate it from scratch with builtin security, authentication, encryption, etc, and those mechanisms need to be as transparent as today's e-mail.
Although it's a lovely story... it'll never happen... for the same reason that the US Tax Codes will never get re-written... Social Security will never get revamped... and our justice system will always be screwed up... Each of the items I listed are too large and complex, and are beyond repair, but in the same respect could NEVER be recreated in a reasonable time frame.
"This is powerful stuff. In the wrong hands, it could ruin political opponents; it could make the state's power impossible to challenge. The state would know basically everything. People would be getting rounded up for thought crimes."
Is is really a though crime if you say it out loud? Hasn't it become spoken words then... and progressed past just a thought?
Harrison suggested that the use of the Linux operation system, hard drive and the Cell processor would lessen the importance of the PC as a home media center.
While the device itself consumes less power than a standard PC, users who want to run a range of applications will need to connect it to a server. This will raise the total power consumption.
What is a "range of applications?"... are we talking Solitaire? MS Office? World of Warcraft? A little vague if you ask me:-)
500 hours of testing... and they ended up with 8 of their 40 pages describing games!?!? Wonder how many of those 500 hours were spent playing those games?
Here's a few things I found that looked cool and / or I would defintely use
Toggle on and off using Win+Tab: Using the 3D view, you get an overview display when running multiple applications. Video keeps running live when switching among windows. This just plane looks sweet! It's like something that we'd do in our Comp Sci Advanced Graphics course:-)
IE7 - A preview function makes switching to other Web sites particularly simple. I think this could be quite useful too
A page from the Firefox book: The new Internet Explorer 7 supports tabbed browsing. About time
You can specify as many startup sites as you like in IE7. Each one is then loaded in a separate tab. This would save me time!
With two tier you've got to cash-out to cable providers if you want to ride 'high-bandwidth' channel and make sure that your pages are served fast and clear, whereas if you are a cash-strapped nobody like most of us you would be stuck to an auxiliary channel choked with spam, porn and god knows what else.
That is really annoying... grrr... I stumbled like a few others for like 5 minutes trying to figure out... how in the hell to get the collaspable menus to work... finally got it... and boy that was annoying... I like this look... but I like the runner up's feel better...
So I'm pathetic... what the hell is help anyways?:-P Just as a followup... wanted to say thanks... got it working... I was having the following documented issue
Yeah... we upgraded to 6.5... and I saw no real benefits from the user's perspective... not sure if I was clear or not... but I'm a web developer that just happens to have to use Lotus Notes for my job... I'm not a Lotus Notes developer... and really really hope i never get to that point in my career:-)
This could be true? Nobody has showed me... and getting good documentation on Lotus Notes is impossible. All I know is... We recently upgraded to Lotus Notes 6.5 and now Sametime is INSIDE Lotus Notes... so they're no longer 2 separate applications. Pretty annoying... and I haven't seem a work-around yet.

30.) Spreadsheet slips on a banana
Genius! This would be the great title to an article about somebody getting caught storing their pron in a spreadsheet at work!

where would perl be if Larry Wall had not been "lazy" ?
If Larry Wall wasn't lazy, he probably woulda created Perl to be more like Python

... very nice results on it
looks pretty sweet
Downside?
MSFT starts making better products. Customers become satisfied. MSFT destroys ever living competitor. We're back to square 1 again.
Apple can't ship better first generation products and is having a troubling time maintaining quality
...
Sounds like some other company that makes operating systems. Can't place my finger on their name right now though

The first SPHERE arrived on the ISS in April tucked inside a Progress supply rocket. (Remember, tiny satellites make good hitchhikers.)
I prefer the young blondes myself

I can just imagine ... Joe Blow taking home a gold medal for winning at Grand Theft Auto! My American hero! Wave that flag proud!

No, because Playstation 3 will!
