I feel like going out to eat tonight... perhaps at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Anyone want to join me? Perhaps we can talk about investing, and that Warren guy... what's his name...Oh, yes. Buffett.
And then it's off to Margaritaville for a nightcap...
I may have missed my window, Steve, but you're the chief scientist at Fusion I/O. What exactly do you do there? Give us an idea of your average day, if you would. Thanks.
I think it's difficult to argue that the industry isn't producing something of value if millions of people are copying/stealing/pirating it. Can you think of something of no value that millions of people are willing to break a law (however just or unjust) to obtain? Dirt? Packing peanuts?
Techdirt didn't "break" this story. Neither did ArsTechnica. The FT did. Both articles cite the FT, so why can't Slashdot?
This is the real reason newspapers are dying: fucking blogs take a story, add a few sentences of pithy commentary, and other fucking blogs cite the blog instead of the original source.
Oh, and in case you're wondering whether the "40 to 50 songs" detail was original reporting -- no, it wasn't.
A bit of an irony here, since we're talking about authorities on a particular subject. My quick Google search turns up Hazelton as a twenty-something computer programmer who runs the Peacefire web site about filtering software and how to circumvent it.
That's all fine and good, but I'm not seeing how that qualifies him for an editorial on the Slashdot site. Or is he just a friend of an editor?
Not trying to troll here, honestly. I'm just curious why he was given the soap box to stand upon.
You mean how not to do it? If a reporter came to me and said, "I'd like to write a story shooting down the myth that the sky is purple," I'd have the same reaction as the one I had when reading this piece.
In other words, show me an analyst that predicted the Zune would be a success, and then we'll talk.
Disclaimer: I'm pimping my own story on PC Magazine.
I'd be interested to hear what people think of the new BitTorrent DNA 2.0, which apparently uses QOS to dial itself down in the presence of VOIP, etc. But it also apparently won't be open-sourced, and will be proprietary to the Mainline client.
And I'm not a big fan of all the snarky comments, myself.
As the article states, they designed a test bed to test nanotubes. You know, benchmarks? They've designed a known circuit, where the chief variable is the performance of the nanotube. They then can try to improve the nanotube and test its performance again.
People are missing the forest for the (exceedingly small) trees.
"IBM researchers said Monday that they have created a low-power chipset that will compete with ultrawideband technology, offering data rates at around 630 Mbits/s.
"The chipset conforms to the IEEE 802.15.3c specification, which IBM refers to as "millimeter wave" or "mmWave" technology, according to Brian Gaucher, a research manager with IBM Research. "
The bit where it talks about how the 630-Mbits was the limits of their test equipment was cool...

No, these aren't mutually exclusive. People watch movies/video on both devices. It's just connected TVs are more popular.
I'd say the lack of touchscreen is a positive feature =)
But trying to navigate a tablet interface using a touchpad really isn't.

How about linking to the original Wired story? This is why content providers are struggling.

If these were handed out in March 2007, why should we care?
Basically, this is the equivalent of "first post", for this topic, at least.
A four-digit Slashdot UID who is an English major with the nick of "geek"? You just made my friends list, sir.

Story is here.
Man, that's some weak sauce.

Dugg down for being lame...oh wait
Sorry for the brief comment... the review is here.
er, snarky comments on the BitTorrent site, I mean. :)

Wouldn't it be great if the article actually talked about that? Oh wait -- it did!
I like how this was modified "informative".
It's not perfect. C'mon, best Disney movie ever made.
You've never used LinkedIn, have you? I'm "colleagues" with a yak herder in Siberia.

And design a front end to Windows, rather than simply stamp its name on a box that would run Windows.
In other words, Apple could become a KDE like company, or even just develop a division that would make a GUI+, for lack of a better word.
You have to admit, that is different than Apple "switching," and rather intriguing.
