Shouldn't this be an article of after they built it and it about to leave on it's trip? I could say hey I'm creating a rocket launch system and rocket guidance system using Raspberry Pi that will take my hamster not only into near earth orbit but also using GPS and compass gliding back to earth to my backyard all caught on it's internal camera. Oh and it's all solar powered. Call it RocketPi. Come on.... Anyone can start building anything wait for it ready to be tested before everyone goes ape over it.
I am a Mac/Linux user and I'm pretty darn happy with Nook's Android OS right now. I am guessing that the future Nooks are going to run some bastardized version of Windows? That would be my guess since it's "integrating with Windows 8".
If so this is my last Nook.
I don't know how long this hack will last but here's what I'm doing...
I just went to StraightTalk.com, bought a Nokia E-71, activated it. (It's WalMart's $45.00 a month unlimited text, web and phone plan).
Pulled the SIM card from the Nokia and put it in the iPhone. Turn on the WiFi connection on your iPhone.
Using Safari, go to http://unlockit.co.nz. I changed my IMEI to ATT and BAM! Unlimited phone, web and text. I just pay 45.00 a month to WalMart.
Just YouTube search for iPhone on Straight Talk. Works with the 4 too.
Look into interactivebrokers.com. You do need to open an account there (which IMHO isn't too much to ask. A roth IRA can be opened for $3k I think) but when you do, they'll give you (on request) a test/paper trade account with $1,000,000 in it and access to the real time functions.
A guy I knew in my hometown made game calls. He employed a few people and made what are the Cadillac of game calls. His game calls were featured on a show on the outdoor network and the next thing you know Wal Mart came calling. He had to hire 20 people to handle the demand.
Next year Wal Mart comes to him and says "We need these 5 cents cheaper than what you sold them to us for last year". He lowered his price but ultimately what happened was he ended up lowering his prices so much year after year that he couldn't afford to keep people employed in rural Kentucky so he outsourced to Malaysia. His entire production plant in Kentucky went of business. Low prices have a consequence and so does innovation if you do it with Wal Mart
It might be worthwhile to post this over at makezine.com. Nothing those crazy makers love more than a challenge. Good luck! Maybe some enterprising person can get something mass produced via kickstarter.com
but maybe you should have gotten a degree in something other than Elizabethan poetry. There's some legitimacy to OWS but there's also an awful lot of whiners which shouldn't be a surprise since we are largely a nation of entitlement.
A better question to ask, though, is whether Mozilla wants Google as its primary search engine..
Well the math seems obvious to me, they receive $100.8 million from Google (97%) and there's no other entity that is going to step up and pay them so what do you think?
It's in Google's best interest to kill off the relationship because of gaining higher Chrome market share. Is that "evil"? No, it's business.
Sounds more like it should be "black hats" sponsored by Target.
And that might even be funny if one of the sustaining partners of this conference didn't happen to be Microsoft.
Anyone who's a real black hat probably wouldn't be caught dead here anyway.
Remember that it wasn't that long ago that the U.S. was trying to peek in on you via the Clipper Chip. After being soundly trounced, they got a little smarter about it. The NSA owns the patent on DES. and can peek in on you anytime they like with your "triple DES encrypted" device. Comfy?
It all depends on who you can pay off to make a big stink. I remember the Penet remailer incident and Scientology. It was located in Finland but because they were posting Scientology material they soon had their doors busted down.
If you're in the U.S. just pay off your congressman (which is an INSANE return on investment), have him to make an issue of it. Problem solved.

I wish I could mod this to 11
Hackintosh efforts by hackers though. It was a noble effort Psystar!
Just read the first review

When did "suspend" take the place of "quitting"? "Suspends" just seems to imply that he's gonna be back......
......somehow
......I hope not.
"Amazon showrooms"? Cuz I check the price in there and immediaitely head to Amazon and get it lower with Prime shipping.

Please mod parent WAY up. If it's that serious, there need to be some hellaciously bigger guns testifying for this one.
Yes, the police serve the public
The police serve the state with the mission statement of serving the public. There are priorities.

What makes him think he's important enough to need a rider? He's not David Lee Roth.
How might the Web — and the world — have looked today if that had happened?
There would have been someone else that would have filled Netscape's shoes. Someone would have built the better mousetrap to compete.

The world is headed towards SSDs anyway. In fact this is only going to spur incentives for more rapid development of larger drives.

My company uses Zimbra. It works pretty well for us.

well maybe not in this case.

It would have to pass there too and the Senate is controlled by degenerate Democrats (I kid, I kid). There's still hope.
