Yes I have a question, why are you lecturing about things you are ignorant of? A Toyota Prius does NOT drive the wheels directly via a conventional gearbox. The engine recharges the battery continuously, and the battery turns the wheels via electric motors.
Probably if this thing comes out, shortly after someone will figure out how to refill them themselves, or provide a way to buy the fuel so you can do it.
It's a real deal killer for that sure. But even for many people who just like to upgrade often, its a real deal killer. If I upgrade my laptop every 6 months, why should I pay more than someone who upgrades every 6 years?
I find it hard to stop using "the" too, but it seems this is what Ukrainians want. They want the name to become more of a proper name than a description as a borderland. Even in Russian they have made some language adjustments to this end in recent times. So I guess its good to try and respect their wishes.
I guess for the same reason people can inherit stuff. Why should your kids or wife be rich, just because you were rich? You can make that argument sure. I guess if you work hard for something, you have the right to leave it to your family. Of course, this is a separate argument to whether patents should exist in the first place.
It's just an Intel support strategy. Release NICs with random and minor outward differences. When you have a support issue, say that it is counterfeit. Really cuts support costs!
>Does it even allow disabling only applets? > >No.
So it's completely broken then, and promotes insecurity.
And if the XML isn't documented, no matter how "clear" it may or may nor appear to be, then I risk in the future having entire companies shut down because some update assumed something I didn't know. Nice one Apple.
I'm struggling to see how anyone wins out of this. Microsoft gets to loan money to a company which is cratering fast without getting any control or real influence. Michael Dell gets to double down on a company in crisis, that in the last few years (by many accounts), he seems to have lost interest in. Even he didn't lose interest, its hard to see how he can fix it, when he's had a long time to fix it. Shareholders get a small premium on the already cratered share price. HP gets a small leg up on the "uncertainty", but really, they are dead man walking too. The PC industry is a real mess.
And the power users - the people who actually care about what they're buying are on iOS mostly, judging by web browser statistics. Yes, people who'll buy any old shit because its cheap, bugger whether it gets upgraded, are buying Android. Nobody makes money out of them. Apple makes money, Android often doesn't. Yes, Apple is killing the competition.
Yeah it's not a perfect platform. But I prefer it because at least I know what I'm getting. I know the level of support Apple will give me, which is pretty good, even if they do sometimes drop support on old models. But what can I expect if I buy Android? It's really hard to research, figure out and predict. This is why Apple is killing the competition.
Erk... does it even allow disabling only applets? Is it even documented anywhere?? Is there a gui for it? Nobody knows the answers to these questions. We only know about this XML because hackers found it.
Interesting comment. What I don't get is the current fashion for almost everything is non-intervention, and let the market decide. But in the area of interest rates the relevant reserve banks or government official banks always manipulate interest rates to get the result they want. While I understand why they do this, I wonder why this is the sole exception to the whole market rules theory. And you're right, the end game I suspect is zero interest rates, and then stagnation. But not many people seem to see it.
So why didn't the fools at Apple allow disabling for applets, but enabling for Java web start and regular Java apps? If we are exposed unnecessarily to exploits, it is now Apple's fault.
Yeah well, as someone tasked with fixing this for a government department, Apple hasn't told me how to do it. Yes, some hackers figured it out. Yes, I can google and get their knowledge. But Apple didn't give me any way to push the fix out. Nor did they give a gui tool so I can email the users with instructions. In short, we're a bit screwed right now. We'll get over it sure, but in the mean time, tons of legal centres are out of action. is this good enough behavior? Surely not! Please don't defend this crap.
I think there's a bigger reason why they haven't released it. I think they've got it working internally, and it sucks big time. They've compared it to Pages, and its a crock of shit. They need another 3 years to rewrite it for tablets. To release it would be simply embarrassing.
Nobody knows why they did it. Maybe they thought it would make money. Maybe they didn't want a competitor to get a foot into Mac. Maybe its as you say. I find it amusing when people try to attribute motives to corporations.
That might be good advice. Wait for them to file in court to see if they're serious. Also, structure your company so that if they win, they get nothing, but an empty shell of nothing. If they ever do file in court, point out to them they can't get anything.
Get back to me when you can use C++ to run browser applets. The security issues people are worried about in Java are irrelevant in C++, because it totally lacks any security whatsoever!

If you want the dead accurate time on your iPhone, get an app called Emerald Sequoia.

That's what MS did back then. Everyone lived in fear of them. Now nobody could care less. You're going to crush us? Yeah, whatever.

It may be a mix of iOS and Android. It may be very late. But how is it the wrong product? What else could they have done? What should it have been?
I think she should register the trademark in another jurisdiction, and then sue the back. Mutually assured destruction then.

Wow. A different way to turn off data. Count me shocked and amazed. That might save me one button press.

That article says you can program new IMEIs to the handset. Someone needs to come up with a hack.
I wonder how they detect it. You'd think there'd be some way to hack your iPhone or jailbreak it and have it report a different kind of phone.
That might be good advice. Wait for them to file in court to see if they're serious. Also, structure your company so that if they win, they get nothing, but an empty shell of nothing. If they ever do file in court, point out to them they can't get anything.
