reading that google uses mainly consumer hardware for their servers, lots and lots of them. Not even bothering to remove/turn off/ fix servers when hard drives go bad. Power usage is actually a pretty major concideration in enterprise gear.. I wonder if the majority of their power usage is being wasted because of this choice.
This is actually the way its been in Corporate IT for quite a while. It's much easier to make a web app that gets update once on the server than to manage thousands of client updates, worry about security issues, etc. The current place I work about 80% of the applications are web apps with a few ones yet to make the move (MS Office being the primary one, but even that might be changing with Microsoft's cloud pushes).
For the sake arguement lets suppose, Microsoft who has been making phones a lot longer than Google, actually has legit patents. The first Windows phone came out in 2003, and pocket pc goes back to 2000. Perhaps Google has completely disregarded said patents and Microsoft has them by the balls.
Well I think Apple's kinda got Samsung by the balls. Yeah Samsung is probably pissed about the lawsuit, but on the other hand if they say fuck Apple they just lost one of their largest customers. Granted Apple would need to get a new supplier but one thing I've learned in business is you never want the vendor thinking they are your only option. Hell I imagine Apple probably could start manufacturing the parts they want, I believe there sitting on around 60 Billion in cash.
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical and vice versa. Apple tends to stick to what it thinks is the moral high road. Helping keep drunk drivers on the road certainly isn't something I'd expect Apple to align themselves with.
I've been doing 25mbit/3mbit on DOCSIS 2.0 for a few years now and 100mbit/5mbit on DOCSIS 3.0 for about a year. Servicing approx 500k subscribers. It works fine.
WTF is this crap? Don't just make something up and post it as a fact. DOCSIS 1.x - 2 supports up to a 42mbit (minus overhead traffic) downstreams on non Euro-DOCSIS systems. This is because ATSC uses a 6Mhz channel for the downstream. If were talking EuroDOCSIS it's PAL and has 8Mhz channels so you could get up to 55Mbit (minus overhead traffic). Now this is total channel capacity so if you have multiple high usage users you'd need to implemement load-balancing.
DOCSIS 3 takes over from any speed above 42Mbit for Docsis and about 55mbit for Euro-DOCSIS. IPv6 is natively supported in D3.
It doesn't matter if it's only saturating the last mile and not the backbone. Why? Because the last mile is what's expensive to fix. There's lots and lots of last miles, but there's only a few egress backbone points. In WAN networking the physical costs of creating infrastructure are what cost a lot of money.
I manage an ISP network with over 500k clients requesting DHCP leases. One of the first things we learned was to set our scopes to ignore client declines or the result would be buggy dhcp from things like home gateway products chewing through thousands of leases in a few hours. BTW Princeton I'm available for consulting.
Whenever I read of companies teaming up like this, the first thing I try to identify is what each brings to the plate. I can see why Google wins by getting their voice service exposed to hundred of thousands, if not millions more potential users. But what does Sprint get out all of this? Do they think it will attract new customers? I'm sure it will bring some new people to Sprint.. But I really, really, doubt that that this is the magic bullet to move a lot of users over..
The focus for this initial version of Wallaby is to do the best job possible of converting typical banner ads to HTML5 and supported Webkit browsers include Chrome and Safari on OSX, Windows, and iOS.
I was happier before they released this, last thing I care about is more blinky crap ads on websites.
Actually they already have the Magsafe connector (incidentally one of my favorite features of mac laptops) so I could actually see this being realistic in a future ipad verison. And that would be completely awesome.

Glue some alluminum foil on a piece of heavy paper (construction, card stock, etc) in the same shape. Been doing this since about 2004.
We can't have nice things. Someone always has to go and abuse the system and get it stuff banned for everyone. $5 this is banned within the month.

That Facebook is rapidly becoming unrelevant? Also fuck Mark Zuckerberg.
Is that the lottery officials know full well that it's broke but they don't care.
But man that's a shitty life.

but I had to read that headline about 4x to understand it.

Well fortunately its not 1973 anymore so you should be good.
touch the wrong thing in your car and it kills you.

for these articles that nothing more than paid publicity.
She spent all that time sewing me a cape to go with my superman outfit and those dicks in Florida are just giving them out.

Seems surprisingly cheap to me for what is essentially the #1 or 2 largest nuclear disaster of all time.

They love money. If SciFi programming isn't bringing in the viewers they will show what does.
