How about we just stop with the subsides, for oil companies and green energy firms alike (and farm etc). Then the technology can flourish or fail based on its own merits.
What most people want from a tablet is email, web and angry birds. Anything beyond that is just gravy. Frankly, I dont see much in the way of serious software for tablets due to hardware limitations. This is the same problem thats plagued the form factor since its inception back in the late 80s. Too much simply requires a keyboard and mouse. A tablet and touch interface works best for viewing content, not creating.
There have been thousands of tablets before the iPad. Many of them looked very simular. Your single counter example does not negate this. Technology progresses, devices get lighter and thinner. If only Apple is allowed to have a rectangular device with icons, what exactly would you suggest others use. And keep in mind that there have been tablet computers since the late 80s.
In order to make calls on the new iPhone you must select the phone number you wish to contact from the iPhone Marketplace (only $0.99 per number!). To get your number listed in the Marketplace you must pay the $300 per year development license price and submit your information from a Macintosh computer. Apple reserves the right to pull already released numbers from the Marketplace thereby erasing them from everyones phones.
Dont forget that China has around a 40% tarif on goods made outside of their borders while we have around 5%. So if a company wants to sell their product in China, they had best move the jobs there as well.
"Let's face the facts. Only *China* can take care of pollution in China."
Yes, wer'e all powerless to be informed consumers. All we can do is give companies money for shiny things and leave the consequences up to others. Its clearly unpossible for tech companies to move manufacturing to countries with regulations or to just not act like asses when they set up their foreign subsidiaries.
Because they have parts they already paid for that would otherwise be destroyed or put into storage? Getting back 20 cents on the dollar is better then nothing.
Not really true anymore I fear. I have at least one card with "swipe to pay" via a RFID chip in the plastic. Now I wont be on the hook for any unauthorized transactions, but someone could just wave the card over the reader at checkout and be done with it. No signature or pin needed.
but "gaming laptops" where never alive. The concept is kind of silly given the rate at which gamers upgrade hardware and how static a notebooks configuration is.
You mean like record high and low temperatures, freak storms, floods & droughts? Cause we got those now and we're still having to have this conversation.
So long as they keep changing the settings for you, who cares how clear they are? The issue is not how "obvious" the security settings are, its that facebook has a history of changing them without notice and exposing users information.
I found the hacking mini-game to be good. It starts off simple but later on in the game it does require thinking and skill. If you dislike having the ability to just reload, dont quick save.

The Newton was not a failure, far from it. However, it was from the "Time Of No Steve Jobs" and so it got dropped.

We where just minding our own business, suing them, and then THEY SUED US for no reason!

Also 50 years in the future if the anti-regulation, pro-corporation, anti-union types get their way.
American consumers have made their choice a long time ago.
Jim and Bexley, both names after Jim Bexley Speed.
Cause Judas Rimmer would be a silly name.

Odds are their break even point is much closer to $500 once you factor in support etc.
So first come first serve, should be "interesting".
Proof of guilt is why they gather evidence.

So... you're going to shoot the hurricane?

Regardless of what the De Beers group wants you to think, diamonds are not that rare. Carbon is the most common element around.
Still, its kinda nifty to see such a large chunk of the stuff.
