... if this deal goes through, I'll probably switch to Verizon whenever my current phone is obsoleted or dies. All companies are evil, but AT&T has a track record of having really crappy Android handsets while T-Mobile has a track record of having the best.

Does this mean you can jailbreak a PS3 that is on stock 3.60 or is this just a custom firmware based on 3.60 that you can install from one of the earlier jailbreakable versions?
How does this matter for CentOS who wants to be exactly like Red Hat minus the trademarks? Wouldn't they want to use the same exact source and not pick and choose patches?
No, the theory is correct, but they aren't doing a direct observation... they are covering the target with little spheres that are in direct contact and then observing the light that comes out of the little spheres- no rules about our understanding of diffraction limits are broken.
I don't really understand this. If those little spheres are acting as lenses then how is it not a direct observation?
Money must be involved somehow right? Police don't care about this kind of crap do they? When they pull someone over and see one of those CD holders on a person's visor they don't care that its all pirated music.... so how do they care about this PS3 stuff?
Does Sony make a huge donation to their department? Was it a court order?
I'll wait for a couple of Honeycomb tablets to come out before I buy one, but if I were to get the Xoom I'd go WiFi only and just tether it to a rooted android phone.
The new Nokia CEO is apparently one of the top ten largest single stockholders of Microsoft shares (I think he weights int a # 7). So he has probably more incentive to care about Microsoft's performance than he may have regarding Nokia. Under that context his push for WP7 makes total sense, since Microsoft has much more to gain for such a move than Nokia does.
If I were an actual Nokia stock holder, I'd be asking a lot of questions to the board of that company right about now. That is a very serious conflict of interest for the CEO to have, esp. since Microsoft is still a direct competitor of Nokia.
Basically Microsoft may get away with taking over Nokia without spending a single dime. Which is why the two stock prices are having such a diverging behavior right now (not that the market is a good metric for anything).
Interesting how Apple is also interested in selling more devices yet they still ship updates to their older phones. That must piss off the networks but Apple can get away with it because of the limited number of models it has to support.
Right.... CM7 is quirky on N1, what makes you think Google's version is any better if they even have one? I doubt Google is sitting on a stable 2.3 update for N1. While I say that... I'd bet there are exclusivity deals between Samsung and Google regarding updates, but those time periods can be used to polish and fix bugs anyway.
Google has promised Android updates will arrive every six months
Consumers don't care about Google's promise of Android updates unless they actually reach the customers. Developers don't care about Google's promise of Android updates for the same reason... unless those updates reach customers developers wanting to target that huge android base need to target the lowest common denominator.
I love how out of one side of their mouth they claim to be a "green" company yet they'd rather you buy a new iPod than replace the battery of your existing one. Sure, they'll replace it for you for some huge extortion fee at an Apple store... They just want you and your wallets in the store. I also like how you can't use an iMac as a regular display for other machines (Mac or otherwise). So when your iMac craps out or gets obsolete you have to throw away a perfectly good monitor. Its especially funny that they claim those iMacs are environmentally friendly because they don't user mercury. They'd be a hell of a lot more environmentally friendly with a VGA, DVI, and HDMI port on them.
Yeah... when I was watching trailers for this game I had never heard of Linux. Since then, I went and got a computer science degree, and now run nothing but Linux at home.... on my laptop, workstation, SheevaPlug, Xbox, PS3, router, and phone. Gentoo, Gentoo, Gentoo, Gentoo, Gentoo, OpenWrt, and Android respectively.
I stopped using Wine too... don't think there will be a Linux port. At most I could hope for a PS3 version (maybe there is.... I didn't RTFA).
What does this system do that couldn't be solved with an alter table statement to add an expiration date field on photos and a cron job to delete expired ones? Who the hell wants to install a browser plugin. Hey... 1995 called, it wants its browser plugins back. Facebook runs on hundreds (?) of platforms besides a browser.... completely idiotic.
What the hell does it take to be called a "researcher" these days?
It only uses C++ because it was originally XBMP (xbox media player) which had to be built using an illegally obtained XDK where C and C++ were the only choices. Had other languages been available, I'm sure it would've been written using them.

Buy the portfolio and make all patents public domain.
Add a clause that makes them unavailable to companies that sue over software patents.
Unless they're made freely available and public, they're not helping the situation.
... of course I meant to say nasa.gov
The people cybersquatting nasa.com were about to figure it out.
Their crack team of web developers can't even get nasa.com to work without the www. in front of it.

Was just about to ask the same question. Had it half way typed out and saw this one sitting right at the bottom.

Yeah.... a lot
You could use diff and get a single patch.... no way to then divide it into the many patches that make up the whole

Someone explain to me why I should pick one over a similarly specced Notion Ink Adam.( $375-549).
Because the XOOM seems to exist.
