To be honest I've lost track of who said what due to our stupid revolving door leadership, but I seem to recall a little while ago that the choice was '25Mbit in 5 years' or '100Mbit in 8 years for a lot more cost'. I was hoping for the 25Mbit choice because it would be fast enough to move the bottleneck elsewhere, but people were scathing and condescending about being so 'backwards' and 'outdated'. Looks like I was right.
OS X doesn't suffer from the 'mobilization' of the desktop
That isn't quite true. It is suffering from 'mobilization', and also 'socialization'. Snow Leopard (10.6) was the best release ever. Since then it has been going steadily backwards, albeit slowly. I remember reading one of their '200 new features in the next release' that mentioned Facebook 46 times. That was when I knew it was all going to be downhill.
Apple got an early lead in the race to the bottom by taking away great things like expose, but then they seemed to falter a bit.
Linux and especially Microsoft were, as usual, late to the party, but have since caught up with Gnome 3 and Windows 8 respectively.
We'll have to wait and see who manages to get to their 'Hitler' version first.
I have first hand experience with these sorts of issues. I set up a web email account for my mother and taught her how to use it. It wasn't long before icons and menus started moving around and she got confused. Lately this particular email provider has completely changed how things worked so that even savvy users have problems with it. However at the end of day my mother and I are not the customers, we are the product, and Marissa will of course of do what is in the best interests of the actual paying customers. It sucks, but I don't see it changing while advertising is the only workable business model of the internet (even porn is really just 'advertising of porn', which is why you get these endless pits of porn link farms (or so I've been told)).
Seriously, I'm still waiting from a company that realizes having private offices plus collaborative spaces (you know, a old school office) is the best way to go.
Well I've been waiting for this since 1994, so don't hold your breath. Fortunately for me the company I currently work for instituted a 'work from home' policy for employees who lived "a long way away". I decreed that 10kms was "a long way" and basically stopped showing up. If they ever object I will immediately quit because I can literally feel my blood pressure rising when I sit in an open plan office and have got to the point in my life where my health is more important than my career.
You will get 'a response' but that response will depend on the religion of the offendee. Islam = bombings, shootings, stabbings all other religions = slogans, placards, letters to the editor.
I think it will struggle for sales since it needs to be accompanied by an iPhone to be useful.
It reminds me of those 'mini credit cards' that were introduced a while back that seem to have faded away. The reasoning was that they would be more convenient to carry as they are smaller However they don't work in all machines So they also come with a full size card for use in such cases Which means now you have to carry 'two' cards So why not just carry the large one?
Now am I saying women can't do this work? No. I am rather saying they don't want to do it. They sit down in the programming classes, notice it is not fun for them, and leave.
It is a choice.
Mods, please mod this up.
Everyone else, please read and understand this.
This has been exactly my experience since I my university days more than 25 years ago. Women 'can' do IT, they just don't like it, and leave.

"Zeus wants me to chop heads off." it's an opinion, not a fact.
You obviously don't understand how religion works.
As fars I see it there is no particular raping going on,

"Long live the IPU!" (BBHHH)
I gave a fuck, because when the movie came out I was in university and felt like an adult.
Now I just feel old.
So, the only way you could mistake an electronic clock for a bomb is if you equate "circuit board and lights equal bomb".
Nobody would be that stupid.

The vehicles aren't going to be used on the job, but as a promotional tool to help raise money for the families of fallen police.
So I'm guessing that "outrunning" them is largely irrelevant.

Maybe they appreciated his honesty?
Just sayin'
who read this as Ellen Page?
... I guess so.

Pentium 3? 17 inch monitor? How long ago did this happen?
News for nerds, stuff from last decade.

Fuck! Open! Plan! Offices!
Getting rapped by buch of programmers is worst experience ever.
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
I was in a small business of 10.
Two of them turned out to be complete assholes.
Is that binary? :-)
One religion's rules have no binding any anyone not in that religion, especially other religions.
Try telling that to a Muslim.

Islam is violent. Wake up to the truth!

I always wondered whether the one on earth knew about the others.
FTW
So, what do you intend to do during that extra second added to that day?
Well there's this novel I've been intending to write but haven't got around to it yet.

... I can withstand... ... to suffer it...
I don't either of these phrases equate to 'being happy', which is what TFA was actually referring to.
But yeah, most of us keep showing up anyway because we need the money.
