If shoehorns and teflon have been around for a long time.. but nobody thought of putting them together.. then we can safely say your idea is novel & non-obvious.
Or that until recently, teflon was prohibitively expensive for a simple shoehorn. Diamond-tipped garden spades are obviously a good idea too. I probably won't bother patenting them though...
offering general computer training--that was Microsoft's only intent,
1. The cable specifically mentions Microsoft knew the Tunisian government would misuse the training.
2. Microsoft knowingly provided CA certs so the Tunisian government could use spoofed https sites to spy on, and persecute their own citizens.
Microsoft did these things because they are a deeply unethical company that is so obsessed with eliminating competitors they are prepared to trample civil rights if it forwards their goals.
It's interesting that you share the same ability to ignore ethics and evidence in your determination to evangelise for Microsoft.
It was a frustrating time - the 9x series had the FAT32 file size limit, and wasn't stable enough to render long videos, while NT had no AV hardware support...
I kept my Amiga/VLab Motion system running almost to the '00s because it actually worked.
this sort of transparent bullshit is why no-one takes you folks seriously.
Exactly.
You might have got "days" of uptime with 98SE if you didn't use it, but put it under any sort of load and you'd be bluescreening/rebooting a lot sooner than that.
The office next to the factory has been broken into. While the factory is much more secure, I am none the less in the process of verifying if it has been tampered with, but It's never possible to be 100% certain. It's probably ok.
Unless you're prepared to absolutely bleed money on every maxiPad sale, you're not going to soak up even a single percentage point of the iPad's market dominance.
The Transformer is the strongest selling Android tablet by a reasonable margin, and Asus has set a goal of shipping 4-4.5 million tablets in the second half of the year, based on reported contract orders.
iPad 2 sales figures are in this second fiscal quarter are around 4.2 million.
I'd say Asus have worked out a way to take more than "a single percentage point of the iPad's market dominance".
Windows Phone 7 is a completely new OS, no support for previous version, focused on the consumer market.
Windows Embedded Handheld 7 I believe is the old Windows Mobile environment, and will be specific to handheld scanners etc, more Business orientated.
Also Silverlight is coming to Windows Embedded Handheld later next year.
" Essentially, the autonomous island would be "a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference at the voting booths, have been unable to advance: No welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons."
Actually about 580,000 apps at last count. Not that it matters to end-users.
According to Lookout, the number of apps available for Android increased approximately 127% since August 2010, while iPhone saw a growth rate of 44%. Of course, the fact that the Android Market is growing faster isn’t new. And if apps continue to be developed for each platform at the same rate, Android apps will overtake iPhone apps in mid-2012..

Your're batshit insane.
And you're intentionally blind to reality.

"would not have like to have been named " is very different to "were unfairly harmed by being named."

FTFY
Well done, you got me.
The good news is, if you work really hard, you might be able to make some money...
As I said, Asus (a single Android vendor) are already shipping more than a single percentage point, and are rapidly expanding sales.

So Eden, then?
You have VERY clearly never been to Port Hedland.

I'm clueless, can you explain how the Republican party is the most logical place for overtly religious types?
Absolute faith in imaginary leaders, combined with irrational and contradictory goals. (* Plus a predilection for secretive homosexuality. Shhhh)
Salvation may be at hand!
PayPal founder Peter Thiel has put $1.25 million toward building floating, autonomous countries at sea, devoted to the implementation of libertarian policies.

The problem with Apple in particular is that they charge nearly double for iTunes content as well.
There is one thing that Microsoft frequently gets right that Google can learn from - Developers! Developers! Developers.

Or maybe the WP7 devs just wanted a fourth to play Bridge?
Apple are free to pick their prices.
Only if we're free to buy their product wherever we like.
I wish I could come up with a foot pedal for my tablet, though
Have you tried one of the Bluetooth ones like PageFlip or AirTurn?
Both are used to turn something (screw, nut) but other than that, they aren't the same tool.
I disagree, it's clearly obvious that Windows and iPads are both tools to screw nuts.

Unless they make a tablet device with a mouse and keyboard *cough laptop cough*
My favourite new gadget:
http://www.asus.com.au/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/
Also has USB host mode, so you can plug in mice, keyboards, nice big external drives, etc.
Ah, so that's why iPad has 10 billion aps.
