If coca-cola has such great recognition/etc., then why don't they make computer software and kill off all the competition, including microsoft? When you can answer why this doesn't work, then you know the answer to why microsoft's brand must decline. Or maybe not, I'm not sure. But it sounds good, which is what's dangerous about analyzing brand recognition/etc... anything sounds like a reasonable analysis.
This guy is confused. The BIRTH of the silicon chip is nearly over... now is when it will completely take over our environments. To put it another way: demand for silicon chips is as dead as demand for crude oil, corn, or other staples.
Who else thought of this when seeing that picture: "And, now Your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel base... wowowowowowowowowow"
They mean that the music creation side gets $1.70 per disc, including producers, etc. and everyone. The artist gets what's left after the label recovers all expenses, which in a vast number of cases is still negative, which requires them to tour to make any profit with the typical label's contract.
While slackers may be able to skate by in certain courses, they will not get A's forever and despite what our country's leadership might suggest, slackers generally are not that successful in their careers. Bright students, on the other hand, generally end up extremely well after the dust settles. So hang in there, my bright bretheren!
The most common.Net developer mistake now is that people don't bother finding the function they need -- instead they just reinvent it and waste everyone's time when maintaining that code later. The problem with 30,000+ items is that there's no good way to teach people where to look for something that's already in there. If it were organized in such a way that one could easily not reinvent the wheel, then it would be an awesome language. Without that, though, it becomes yet another way for people to create crappy date parsers.
Those mosquito helicopters are like 20 bucks and do the same thing, sounds to me like a pork barrel to fund something else. For 10 million, couldn't you just tape a dvr to a real bat and pay off PETA to leave you alone?
Even if the data is totally anonymous other than boarding and unboarding the trains, just having a log of what people went where for "everyone" can make it easy to identify an individual from their riding habits. For example, while many people would go to work in the morning and go home in the evening, the odds of any particular person boarding the same train at the same time variance over a few weeks dramatically decrease. If I can see that there is a person boarding at 7:37 on mondays, 7:39 tuesdays, etc. then the more of these I am able to produce, the smaller a group of people it will be until I have the exact individual boarding at their "regular" times. Imagine if you're the only person that's 15 minutes late on a wednesday because you happened to get robbed, etc. this type of statistical tracking might have the granularity to pick you out based on when you usually would've boarded.
Aren't the guitar hero "Les Paul" designs licensed by Gibson to Guitar Hero? If so, then I don't see how they can make a claim for infringement while also participating in the product's current material profit.
Whenever anyone decries a method as "not going that direction", there is always my memory if in the early 1900's, some famous physicist declaring that all of Physics had been invented and there would never be anything new from that point on. There is always the chance that as chips just get faster and more cores, especially with interval raytracing, that at least a few games will go that way. If those games are popular enough, then like wolfenstein 3d and doom did for raycasting with textures, a whole new arena of game graphics will be opened up. For those that don't remember, on the original hardware wolfenstein 3d was a dog! It wasn't until much later that a large percentage of gamers had the hardware to do a decent frame rate at full screen.
The EEE pc only matters because it is less expensive than similarly-featured smartphones. A pc that costs more than a smartphone but is small doesn't have the same value to the consumer. Conversely, if fully-featured smartphones (i.e. pc-equivalent) come down in price, one could expect to see laptop sales dwindling.
don't worry, we can mine landfills and recycle the plastic out of them at some point. After all, the plastic isn't going anywhere, and we're only going to get more technologically advanced, so at *some* point, surely this will make sense!
IO bandwidth breakup -- that might be easy, just switch all the (sometimes heterogeneous) chips over to all-interval math based instruction sets, then allow the embarrassingly parallel nature of intervals to divide and conquer your workload. Obviously if only 4 chips out of 80 are working at 100%, then comes the harder part: analyze the specific situation and break up the instructions "where appropriate". If you can't break it up any farther quick and easy, that's ok. If designing parallel algorithms was easy, we'd be done with this already.
I concur, just because the door to my house is unlocked, that doesn't mean anyone is legally allowed to enter. IANAL, but this could be a similar precedent.
There's a big difference between real-time collaboration and posting the results of that collaboration. That's where the line for cheating is drawn. You may not learn the material in real-time collaboration and you could just copy down the answers there, but posting the results of a collaboration is exactly the same as sharing the answer key for the assignment -- all the problems are solved already, right? -- which anyone would consider cheating.
With unlocking already done, 3g and vpn support around the corner, etc. and the 100 million with caveats that unlocking-style edits aren't getting the money, what exactly are they thinking of in terms of development here? I'd just as soon use the 100 million to pay off a distributor, get 100 million in unlocked iphones, sell them on ebay and use the profits to pay off the AT&T/Apple servitude so everyone can just buy the thing straight from Apple already unlocked.

Yes, but In Soviet Russia, YOU watch ... i mean Comcast watches... wait, what?
