I see your assumption, but the Xoom has had quality issues (mostly thanks to Google), so I would not consider them to be equivalent.
It may very well be that Google does not understand the "real public need." The 16:9 aspect ratio of the screen makes it too difficult for me to use. While it may be good for reading, the text is just too darn small for me.
If companies waited until Japan can back to production then they would have to lay people off, which would have a severe ripple effect in your local economy.
As a programmer, I have to disagree with this. The header files should be very interesting. They should provide all of the information that I need in order to properly use the C code or library. I really hate looking through an implementation in order to figure out how to use a function (and these functions do not have 'man' pages).
Some header files described in the articles contained inline function calls. This makes them a bit more than a standard header.
Yes, I know everyone here on slashdot is a superstar programmer earning $10m + a year just in stock options, just think of us little guys as you're snorting cocaine off hookers' tits on one of your yachts.
The sad part of that statement is that a programmer who earns $10M (I assumed you didn't mean milli) a year still has to get a hooker in order to meet women.
While I appreciate the implications of this sort of thing I don't see the problem in this situation.
If I purchased directly from the publisher wouldn't I be providing that information anyway? If I were a publisher I'd definitely like to know who's buying from me so why should I be blocked from getting that info?
But if you buy from Amazon, both Amazon and the publisher get your information. If you buy from Google then Google, the publisher and anyone else that Google wants will get your information.
I don't think that you have paid much attention to how Apple has performed during the down economy. During a down economy, people who spend money spend it on what they feel is of value. I would expect the low end of the smart phone market to take a hit before the high end does. This is because the prices of a low-end and high-end smart phone (after taking into account the monthly data plan) isn't really that far apart.
I'm sorry, but where did you state that all of your friends are techies? Not all of mine are, so I recommend whatever is most appropriate for their needs.
I remember how Microsoft took over the market from other GUIs, by leveraging their DOS monopoly and giving Windows away with DOS. They did the same thing to take over the office productivity market, leveraged their Windows monopoly to practically give away Office with each new copy of Windows.
You can't think of any other reason to do this? If you cant then you aren't trying very hard.
If you let tho OS support user built shared libraries then how are you going to *safely* share them between applications? If I develop a poorly written application that allows the shared library to be modified, what happens to the safety and security of the system?
It would be nice if you would think about why these decisions would-be made, from a technical point, before you make these kinds of statements.
It is going to sue because apple bans applications not programmed in C/C++/Objective C. Apple states this is because compatibility layers make bad apps, I would think it is more of a middle finger to adobe who has publicly announced it's plans to make a flash to iphone tool.
Have you seen the requirements for Windows Phone 7?.NET or Silverlight, that is it.
apple needs to be sued over there app store lock in and lock down as some of there banning may be going to far.
While you are at it, sue Sony for their store on the PS3 and sue Microsoft for their XBox Live and sue Verizon because they only let apps for their phones be sold via their app store, and sue...
it wasn't a migration - they simply ditched their old stuff, appropriated a free OS, slapped a graphical shell on top and graciously allowed third-party developers rework their applications..

Shouldn't they all be free or have just a symbolic fee in the public university?
Because it costs money to provide the education, even with state support.
You are asking a bigot to think. Now stop that!

Could you explain your logic here? If seems as if you are saying "if a == b then c == d"
You don't have a job, do you?

Wouldn't this trash the existing application base?
So Google is trying even harder to keep Flash relevant on the web?

If you use someone else's code in your program, that is not fair use. If you copy someone else's text into your book, that is not fair use.

Which ledge do you try to talk them onto?

You know, you are right. I remember reading that here
With regards to sex, it has always been. She doesn't want to have sex with you but you don't respect her wishes, what is that called again?
And it runs under Windows, Linux and MacOS
I saw a YouTube video that claimed a Tegra 2 can decode 1080P video while dissipating only 350 Watts...
I really hope you missed a decimal point there.

Let's check the clue meter. Oh, not good.
What tablet do you own and what apps do you run?
Which is kind of insane thinking about it, a hearing aid is different from a heart stint with magnitudes order different levels of risk.
Unless you're finally able to hear ... and you hear a loud noise that startles you ... and you have a heart attach. What, it could happen.
Or, it burns out your hearing to the point that it can not be fixed, making you completely deaf.
