It seems that some monitors+video-cards work differently with HDMI as well.
My laptop has a Radeon HD6370. When plugged into a 22" HP monitor via HDMI, it had weird overscan at 1080p issues I couldn't correct (stuff would be over the bounds of the screen or I'd get letterbox).
When I plugged into the same monitor's HDMI port using a DVI->HDMI adaptor, no overscan issues.
Only if you've actually got the ordinance in an orbital location where it could be used, and I would imagine that accuracy when dropping such things from space - unlike sci-fi - isn't exactly great.
Android did that too. When the phone would go to "deep" sleep, the time wasn't flipping over for the alarm app. I slept in late once, turned on my phone, and watched the clock flip from 9:00pm to 7:30am then ring the alarm.
No, but having seen some dubbed movies that used big-name actors for voiceovers (Princess Mononoke, anyone), I'd have to say that it's far from a sure thing. I've also seen plenty of shows with voice-actors I've not heard of, so long as they don't all sound like 15-year-olds most come out pretty good.
And why stop with WWII? Vlad Dracul (yeah, that guy) made damn sure everyone knew why he was called "Vlad the Impaler" and he didn't even have a Facebook account.
Unfortunately other issues (malnourishment, disease and other things associate with being on the streets) probably lower the bar for many people. You might have a healthy mind, but a healthy mind depends on a healthy body too.
Rather than an "indefinite on-hold period" where the lawyers are on standby, why not give them a hold period with a firm deadline (after which the case is dropped if Oracle can't produce)?
30,000+ hits, but they suspect it's a group of people and not bots? That seems dubious. The UA string is completely messed as well. "The user agent is unusual for Kenya: the stable version of Google Chrome released on 20 September 2011, running on 32-bit Linux. With the exception of this IP, it barely appears in our logs."
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.63 Safari/535.7
It seems close to safari, but also identifies itself as chrome running on Linux 64-bit... I've checked my own UA on linux, and a buddy's Safari. The UA string is closer to Safari except that Safari doesn't run on Linux, and Safari wouldn't have the Chrome markings either. This is more than a bit unusual for a UA, it's a mismatched spoof.
My guess is that a) Somebody has found a way to abuse google search or the search servers to perform queries or b) Somebody has managed to infect some devices at google. My first thought along this line would be an infected smartphone
At the moment, the only tie to google seems to be an IP address range with a messed up User Agent and somebody claiming to be a google employee (but also lying about being in partnership with mocality). That's not exactly hard data. If the phone # had been the same google office it might be a bit more (also spoofable with VOIP in about 2 seconds).
If google *was* involved in such a thing I'd gladly throw them under the bus. But I'd not be willing to do so based on the evidence given.
Maybe if we're lucky, any innovations that Intel makes (or buys) in order to produce high-power-output low-power-consumption smartphones will also make its way back into the PC market.
To some extent, the answer is yes. I doubt we'd have many poo-powered data-centers, but things (stoves, heaters, etc) that would use natural gas can use methane-burners: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16203507
IMHO, it makes sense. More people = more energy needs = more waste. If we can find a way to reconstitute our waste into something useful, then the two scale together somewhat usefully.
My previous was a milestone. The amount of internal storage was a joke, and after updating the UI was *terrible* for lag, and had icon refresh issues (supposedly due to memory constaints) etc.
Switching to "Go Launcher" helped that, but a phone should be able run and *NOT* lag in the stock UI.
HTC was my choice except for availability. At the time I was in the market for a phone, it seems they'd signed some initial exclusivity with certain US carriers and the good phones weren't available for others (or in Canada at all).
Maybe because - for the most part - Samsung's phones don't *suck* the way some others' do. I was immensely underwhelmed by the performance of my last Motorola, and even less impressed with Motorola's support of their customers (advertised the milestone as supporting flash, didn't ship an OS update that allowed it until over a *year* and in some cases not-at-all).
Samsung ping-ponged a bit on ICS for the Galaxy-S, but it looks like they'll be go for it after all.
That being said, I'd love to get my hands on a Xiaomi phone, so hopefully they'll enter the ring and add to the competition sometime soon.
Not entirely certain. It does assume that were such an event to happen, the uprising, war, and etc wouldn't prove to be ultimately fatal for everyone (politicians included).
1% might seem small to some, but it's not. Think of all the people you know who have a phone. How many people do you know that don't have a cellphone VS people you do. How many people do you have on your facebook or whatever. For every 100 people, 1 of those is a bigger data user (who knows, maybe it's you). Let's say that in a large city, 1,000,000 people have smartphones. That means that 10,000 of those people are considered *heavy* users. This isn't one-in-a-million people, it's ten-thousand-in-a-million... which is still quite a lot of users.
Kodak DX6490. That was actually a decent camera (I still have it, and it still works). I've taken some very nice pics with it, and it was durable.
Around that, I've had several other Kodak cameras. My biggest complaint was not image quality but durability. Camera in a gel case, in a bag, and one day stuff still breaks/stops working (usually the shutter gets stuck).
Switched to Canon - an SD780is for compact/convenience and a T2i for more professional stuff - and my cameras seem to last longer *AND* take decent pictures. For the "right here right now" the camera on my phone also done the trick in many cases.
If that were the case, I'd imagine that the PCI folks would have something to say about that. Using a customer's CC # for anything other than payment is likely to cause trouble.

It was fixed in later versions of Android.

One thing I've noticed... going north in Canada is often a lot like going south in the U.S. (not in a good way)
And why stop with WWII? Vlad Dracul (yeah, that guy) made damn sure everyone knew why he was called "Vlad the Impaler" and he didn't even have a Facebook account.
Well, he didn't *then* at any rate.

My mother's Blu-Ray player runs Java.... it's surprising (and a bit scary) how many places it turns up.

Ahhh, but think about how much fun you could have if such technology comes to fruition.

They are now, but that's 3-6 months later.

Maybe not 30+, but as somebody who lives where temperatures an vary by season from +30 and above to -30 and under... it still sounds quite nice.
Steve Jobs vs Carly Fiorina
Like him or hate him, people like Steve Jobs do a lot in terms of putting a company in line with a profitable/salable "vision"
You still need good employees, but a good company head will find talent.

Where are you adding these entries?
I like to think of that "vocal group" as the PETA of the religious :-)
Sometimes they have something useful to say, but they're too busy shouting in general for anyone to hear it.
