Scientific experiments need to be done in controlled conditions, not out in the wild where the can contaminate or affect other natural processes.
Also, these GM products will be patented and do you really want big companies selling patented seeds and other vegetable products at higher prices? hardly good for the developing world is it.
He is referring to the fact that the city has grown so fast that they don't have a decent sewer system, much of the sewage goes into septic tanks which are drained and then tankers drive it to a sewage processing plant. But some tankers illegally dump it so it ends up in the sea.
Professionals don't care about wide availability, price points and so on they want performance at any price. Users of Logic Studio and Final Cut will welcome anything that is faster than Firewire.
USB3 is the same old cheap half baked serial bus technology, it requires more CPU intervention than Firewire and Thunderbolt.
XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3 all impose similar restrictions.
A phone is not a computer in the general sense. You really don't want rogue software on a mobile device. This week at work someone had put their Android device on our network via Wifi. It was harvestingWindows logins and trying to login with them. Such things don't happen with a policed application store.
Apple has a walled garden, but the Android app stores are full of weeds and there's landmines under the lawn.
Is it possible to protect a user from themselves? If a user chooses to install some software and it turns out to be rogue then that's not the fault of the OS, it is the nativity of the user.
If Apple made the installation of non-App Store software on the Mac possible then it would stop a lot of rogue applications. But then people would complain about lack of freedom.
The security model of OSX is fairly proven, Windows struggles due to backward compatibility at times.
This is the problem with solar power, it's mostly home owners who are buying them and the systems cost so much it takes decades to break even (if purely doing it for cost reasons, not CO2).
So once a better technology comes along you have to junk the old tech and you may never break even.
Irish dissidents are planning on attacking the UK mainland again, in the past many Irish Americans have helped fund them.
So it would be nice if they didn't, in the UK we have to protect against Irish dissidents, Islamic extremists and we're in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya along side US forces.
It's easy to buy up a brand with established users and customers than it is to build one up. Microsoft has just bought a brand name and user base, there may be a patent or two in there as well.
Adding the Microsoft name to most things tends to kill the cool factor.
Two years is double or four times as long as other phone providers.
A Sony Ericsson phone is effectively abandonware as soon as you buy one. A HTC phone is released every 6-12 months and with such a large number of phones to support you won't see many or any updates after 12 months.
Apple's support for the iPhone is pretty exception in the mobile phone market. So unless you can provide an example of a mobile operator who provided support after two years I think you need to stop whining.
The data was held in a SQLLite database with a default size of 2MB. This obviously seemed like a small file but in reality it could hold a lot of data. So the file size has been reduced.
So when are Google going to fix their OS and also stop sending data with a unique identifier back to HQ? yes, iOS seemed like it was tracking you, but the data in the database file on the device is a cache of location assistance data received.
So where are all the Apple haters now? Apple didn't implement 3G video calls and all the Apple haters said Facetime wasn't "standard" so what about Google not implementing standard 3G video calling?
Sure, click and download for free applications. But are you really going to sit there with a tablet on your lap and enter credit card details every time you want to buy a non-free App?
What about updates? you then have to navigate to every web site you have an app for and check for an update.
QNX is a great OS. But then so is a Linux distro, but many people tend to slate the available user interfaces on Linux distros as being too clunky and amateurish compared to Windows 7 and OSX.
How can a company that only really came about due to an innovative take on email (making it instant like SMS) release a tablet with no email capability?
It would be like Microsoft releasing a tablet that didn't have IE or the capability to view Excel or Word documents.
It is a sign of incompetence. It doesn't take much effort to keep refreshing business phones, giving them a lick of paint and better screens, but that alone doesn't improve your share price.
Since NASA is on a shoestring budget and the US government doesn't see space exploration as a priority then I suppose delays and failures are inevitable?
China on the other hand can blow huge amounts of cash just like the USSR could before it split up, even more so given China is the workshop of the world.
Slashdot Mirror
Photoshop and the like would run on a lower power device fine since much of the processing does not need to be real time.
Logic Studio on the other hand does need to be real time.
It is more about reducing the role of the desktop/laptop computer as the central storage repository.
Why are they a bunch of assholes?

You can manage applications from the command line. Why do you even need a GUI? :)
Alternately you can view this as "if you want an OS upgrade build it yourself, we're busy working on another phone".
SATA is a storage device protocol. Thunderbolt, USB3 and Firewire are general purpose.
Anyone wanting to connect external video gear, audio interfaces and so on has to currently choose Firewire or the inferior USB.

Isn't the whole runtime of Android based on Apache Harmony? therefore reliant on a big chunk of open source code.
Foxconn make stuff for Apple, HP, Dell, Microsoft, Intel Sony, Nintendo and others.
So why focus solely on Apple?

Like Google did with Android? hide it away and make it only accessible if you root the phone.

Some apps call native library code due to the performance of compiled interpreted code being poorer than native.
These will be compiled for the target device.
Java apps don't crash they throw exceptions or the JVM dies.

Reviews on the whole weren't positive. Citing poor usability (no excuse for this on a big screen tablet) and shocking lack of email capability.
