I always thought it was because Sega failed with the Dreamcast. Sega had worked with Microsoft for 2 years for the OS on the Dreamcast. So I assumed Microsoft decided to go on their own with out Sega.
The latest version is 2 star at best. It took a step back with the latest release. It is last in the list of social apps I use because of the layout and the way it handles notifications.
I do like the Apple boxes more than many other products, but they sit in a dark closet with my comic book boxes. So the effect is really nice at first, but it is forgettable.
Google+ has poor integration with other social mediaapps. Foursquare, Yelp, Twitter, instagram, Pinterest, Flipboard. All these share with each other or at least twitter and facebook. Google+ isn't even an option, and you have to manually copy or create updates on it, which is annoying.
Every time I mention to my social network of 200 that Google+ is dead or dying, I get the same 5 people who say it isn't and also happen to be the only 5 people in my circles who share anything.
Should have reported it anonymously through an ethics hotline the company may have or an anonymous email to people within or may be cc some people outside the company.
Some community banks still run OS/2 to power their Voice Banking systems. The reason being is that the hardware dies before the software does. The other amazing thing is how OS/2 will run on PC's just made a few years ago. As long as it has a PS/2 port, IDE port, and a PCI slot for your ancient 3com NIC.
Bank of America has 1 year of transactions available online. You can download in various formats.
WEB Connect for Quicken 2007 and above, Statement Download for Money 2007 and above, Managing Your Money - QIF file (2 digit) , Quicken and Microsoft Money - QIF file (4 digit), Microsoft Excel Format, Printable Text Format.
In addition, some local banks may also offer up to 1 year worth of items online and various download formats. Just call them and ask for a demo or specifically ask about amount of months and what formats are available.
I work for a Electronic Payments/ATM/Point of Sale/Card Issuer company. If the PIN is in the clear after being decrypted at the bank/card issuer then that is the bank/card issuers issue and not the payment industries fault. The bank/card issuer needs to look at their software vendor who is not secure, as the PIn should never be in the clear. If the HSM device is giving up the key, then that HSM vendor is not secure. How is the hacker getting access to even itneract with the HSM device. These are usually held in a secure environment network and physical access. If the HSM device is not in a secure area then some one has to be responsible for over looking this. These HSM devices are set to self destruct if tampered with. The article calls for a radical change to the payment industry, but all these issues can be resolved with regulation and I belive these rules are already in place. The PCI auditors should be catching these items.
When will the RIAA stop wasting money on these cases? There is no way they are ever going to win settlements or recover damages that offset their cost it takes to litigate. I guess the RIAA lawyers are making money though, not like they are going to recommend to stop the pursuit.
Perhaps the windows driver has some graphic features enabled and the linux one does not (like trlinear filtering, shaders, etc). Not enough tech output to make a good conclusion.
way back in Quake 3 days I thought Linux was running Quake3 faster than Windows on my nvidia card, only to realize the linux driver did not have one of the graphics features turned on, which caused it to run faster with the same in game settings.
I am fine with this. If I decide I do need the app, it is nice to not have to find the install media or do a download. I am glad they have the ability to some what 'kill' the app. When I go to Windows 7, I will kill everything but IE (I have websites that require it that I need). This is at least a step in the right direction. They also are not installing some applications by default anymore in Windows 7, and you have to get them if you want to from the download site.
It should go beyond this. Make it where if you get a Passport or State ID you should have to give a DNA sample. Helps verify your identity and in case you are involved in a crime investigation the government knows who you are and possibly where you live.
Be careful what you say at airports and on planes. Never get irate or argue at airports and on planes. My mother who is white, has made both mistakes and ran in to similar reactions from airline and airport employees.
Would there not be major line of sight issues and percision issues. My crude understanding of radio waves is that you can send a signal across a wide area and it seems to me a laser would have to be more exact to get the data because of the shorter wave length. I see a shorter wave length as a disadvantage; especially over longer distances.

but I don't want my kids to get Autism. So I will risk a deadly disease instead. /trolling
Do they have a catalog of all the employees social media links? How would they know who did advertise and who didn't?
but DRM doesn't effect 99% of the consumers who buy Blu ray.

You can hotkey abilities now and just mouse over your target. You also auto pick up gold now. I only click to move or interact with objects.
I assume you got better?

If I have visited New York, I should be able to teleport there or get their quicker than a 8 hour flight with out a stop in Atlanta first.
Pretty sad that by the end of the interview they are talking about 4 year old WoW content.

I would be interested in getting this if the price and availability meets my criteria. Too bad this seems like a very niche idea.

Yahoo should have just let business happen. Being eaten by Microsoft is not always a bad thing /.'rs make it out to be.

Does it matter that it does not add up to 7 and the kernel version is 6.1? I am still waiting for winamp 4. I know.. I know.. Winamp 2+3 = 5
