It was because commodities were taking a dump. That being said, I think iPhones and iPod Shuffles are excellent products (disclaimer: I own a Shuffle).
Everything else that company produces seems like an overpriced joke, least of which is that bizarre nothing product known as the iPad.
Is it in 3D? Is so, does it suck as badly as Thor did in 3D? Or Tron?
Third question (fourth): How the fuck did Tron become the example of the possibilities of 3D? It's used to advertise every fucking 3D widget in the Universe, but the 3D in it is absolutely god awful.
Time is the magazine of the establishment ; not that it's audience is the people that own everything, just that everything in Time is the most generic pop culture pap possible, designed to drive business for corporate America. Your IQ will drop by many, many points if you continue to read Time.
I'm a died-in-the-wool Slashdot geek, and the package for the CD for my digital camera has never been broken open. I use Microsoft Office Image Management. It's great for punching up those midtones, fixing the brightness of images taken in poor lighting, and giving pics that nice over-saturated "Kodak" look. Oh, and rotating pictures taken at a 90 degree angle too.
Just because you're a computer geek doesn't mean you waste your time learning every stupid little "productivity" application possible.
Java would be the ideal solution if Sun would get off their asses and A)Make cut/paste work (even if it necessitates putting up a huge "warning this is a security risk" window before letting you do it the first time) , B)Make the allowable heap size MUCH larger for applets , and C)streamline the process of letting users save and load files to their computer (again with the whopping huge security warning windows)
All of this WITHOUT forcing users to accept certificates to give applets carte blanche, which I never trust on websites.
Chocolate is either sweet OR bitter ; if you eat too much sweet chocolate, it becomes gross, not bitter.
Either you've got some damn magical chocolate or the analogy policy need to take you away and put a bullet through your head.
They've got way better things to do, like boozing dancing partying and fucking. and they couldn't care less about you. and they've even got better marks than you, cuz they're not little whiny losers commuting while living in their parent's bedroom. you slashdot shits can be playah hatas all you want!
People outsource this stuff ; you'd never trace it to the campaign office (even if you could trace it. Hint : YOU can't.) Even if it were possible, you'd get some call centre office in Banglash or Podunk, Canada.
Since open sores software is useless, the kids won't be using the computers at all, and pretty soon the state can save big $$bucks$$ on computer purchases because they won't ever need computers again!
As if Accenture hasn't fleeced for-profit corporations for BILLIONS of dollars.
You libertarians are a fucking joke. Just because you're a loser in life doesn't mean the system is flawed. Maybe it's just because you were born to fail.
And typical conservative pussies at that ; They're such pussies that they anonymize their contact information in whois and their administrator is called "admin."
For those at home, that means that there's an approximately 115.5% they're funded by "think tanks" which are fronts for powerful corporate interests who have nothing but distate for the word "competition."
ROR. What's the matter, did you fail Comp Sci 101 - Introduction to Object Oriented Languages? Go on, blame Java! It's not YOU that's the problem, it's Sun!
If you don't want to look like an asshole, you should only be a prick when people say stupid things. The post you responded to didn't say anything stupid.
Good job brainiac, you've just double counted your expenses.
NET INCOME ALREADY ACCOUNTS FOR EXPENSES. That's why it's NET Income. What it doesn't account for is DIVIDENDS (and various minutae that I'm too lazy to look up at the moment)

No it isn't...
Because we're not cool enough to get an invite?
But it's such a tease... what computer algorithms are referred to near the end of the article? I can't remember my intro algo's class :(

This article is class warfare against unions and the little guy. Don't be fooled by the way Gates' money is used to dress the piece.
USA? What in the fuck do you think CN stands for?
It was two tapes, if I remember correctly. That sucked.
VHS would have been one tape.
That, and Beta really wasn't noticeably better than VHS... not sure why this idea still circulates...
When they cost about 20 cents CDN each in 100 packs.

Are you blaming a large corporation for being honest?
Some companies can't win.
Slashdot thinks that Google and Apple always will. Microsoft, never.
Douchebags.

This guy wrote a book on the SCALABILITY of FLICKR?
The website that takes FIFTEEN SECONDS to display a photograph ( a JPEG file which requires NO PROCESSING OF ANY KIND)?
Is this some sort of joke?
FLICKR is completely unusable because it COMPLETELY fails at one of its main tasks - allowing people to view pictures quickly and conveniently.
Clear enough, or should I draw a flow-chart?
