The best hotel wifi experiences have been when I was given the SSID and (simple) password at check-in and, most importantly, the signal reached my room. There's nothing worse than having to go down the hall every time you want a signal, and many people will have smartphones so don't make the password 20 digits.
Under the General Preferences you can check "Enable LAN sync" which should be on by default. Yes, you're still sending it all to Amazon S3, but the files are also copied directly over the LAN to your other PCs rather than uploading to S3 and then downloading from S3.
... but Peter Jackson is nearly 2-D. The photo in TFA is the first time I've seen him not looking like a rotund hobbit -- ironically, a spherical shape that would lend itself nicely to a 3-D movie, should he choose to cast himself.
It's still a good thing because car features tend to work their way down from luxury vehicles to "average joe" vehicles over time. Remember when only luxury cars had power windows or remote controls for (un)locking? Now those are a given in all but the most basic models. Sure, it'll take years, but at least it's beginning.
Eventually another manufacturer will want to make their semi-luxury car look like an Audi A8 and they'll add wifi. Then a slightly cheaper car than that will want to appear to be a good value, so they'll throw in "Audi features" for the same price (and these hotspots can't be that expensive when bought in bulk compared to the overall cost of the car), and so on.
What a load of crap. It's impossible to come up with any sort of 'translation' without knowing what question was asked of the pollees. If it was "when you buy your next phone, will it be the same one (iPhone/Android)?" then your rewording would be entirely false.
You're also insinuating that 77% of iPhone users are numbskulls who will just keep buying iPhones until Apple makes a 'good' one, in their eyes, while Android users are much more thoughtful and bright. As much as slashdotters love to drag out that old joke, you know it's ridiculous.
Additionally, it's laughable to assume that any smartphone owner who is happy with their current phone will never buy an updated model in the future. I'm guessing you were happy with your PC in 1995 -- do you still use that PC as your main machine, or have you upgraded since then?
Go read the documentation on openstreetmaps.org. Map companies put incorrect data in there on purpose to detect and prevent copying. This is why someone at OSM didn't just write a script to copy the whole thing at once, and why their maps have to be created manually.
Of course you have to use a bit of object detection to determine whether to use attachEvent or addEventListener, but a function that handles that for all browsers is one of the first things I paste into my code. Then it's just a simple myAddEventFunction(HTMLelement,'click',functionName); and who cares what browser that runs in.
And then you get the paycheck for your roadkill job and remember how much you got paid for aligning pixels on a TPS report. Money isn't everything, no, but if you intend to have a job that stays out of the way and enables you to persue real hobbies in your free time, then you need the money to support those hobbies.
Why not tell the new job you'll start in 4 weeks, work the last 2 weeks at the old job, then take a 2 week vacation in between? (Assuming you can handle it financially.) If the new job presses you about the time span, try to gauge what their reaction will be and give them an semi-honest answer if you think they'll bite ("I'm taking a break to recharge before I start here, so I'm totally refreshed and can jump right in"). If you don't think they'd like that, you could fall back on a white lie and say you've got some personal stuff to take care of. Either way, everything is cleared up front and there are no shenanigans that can come back to haunt you once you begin the new job.
I first read "reject" as a verb when it's actually used as a noun (or an adjective in your example), but 'rejection' is much clearer. And it wasn't trivial to separate the subject from the rest of the sentence. How about this:
"A New Home for Stories of iPhone App Store Rejection"
Furthermore, Europeans completely understand that a government often does not represent its people. They may hate Bush, but they won't hold that against you, just as they would hope you wouldn't treat an Englishman poorly because you don't like the Prime Minister.
That's simply untrue. Perhaps it was once the case (I doubt it), but it certainly isn't now. I've been all around Europe (though admittedly not to England in particular) and I've never had any problems telling people that I am American. It's your attitude that they will judge you by, not your nationality. I've always been welcomed with open arms. Putting a Canadian flag on your backpack is not only unnecessary but disingenuous.
So, you don't get all the features if you port in an existing number. How... lame. Completely killed my interest in this most recent development.
There's really no point to this new option -- it's just a stripped down 'lite' version of the existing service aimed at drawing in people who were scared off by the "you'll have to change your phone number" nonsense. There's absolutely no reason to choose this option when you sign up. If all you want are the voicemail features, sign up for a "full" account (with a new number), then add your existing phone and switch on voicemail handling. That's it.
Actually, this new option is even worse: once you set it up, you can't go back to your carrier's voicemail system. You're stuck with Google's whether you like it or not.
And by the way, it's not full number porting, you still keep the same carrier. Not yet at least -- Google says that's on the horizon.
To be honest, having owned several iPods including the Touch (and no other Apple products), I have never missed not having a replaceable battery. Just plug it into the PC, or into an AC adapter. Why fumble with taking the battery out, putting it in a charger, etc? The slimmer size is well worth the (theoretical) niceness of being able to carry an extra battery.
So let me get this straight. When coal miners lose their jobs because of changes in the energy industry, it's progress, and the onus should be on the workers to be flexible and learn new skills... but when it happens in IT, we're supposed to cry foul?
Coal mining is old technology and something new has come along to potentially replace it in its industry. There's no new technology to replace today's IT, therefore these workers who are being laid off are at the forefront and their laying off cannot be called progress.

You're aware that Dropbox is not an actual box that you can put things in, right?

That's a nice story, but Chloe O'Brien could've done it in far less than 2 months.

Or to a particular element:

Rimshot, indeed.

Except that most people think that blue E is literally "the internet", while the other logos (besides Google's name) will be somewhat alien to them.
I don't expect you'll hear much of anything.
Your seriousness and conviction astounded me, but your post's moderation of "Funny" has returned balance to the world.
You know, you could have just said "how about without file compression?" instead of being a dick about it.
Hee hee... "snot".
Yes, it is for the wifi antenna. Both earlier versions of the iPod Touch (before cameras were rumored) included the same plastic patch.
Let us know how long it takes you to scan a 400-page book using that method. I bet it's a tad over 20 minutes.
