I didnt even remembered that AskJeevs was still alive. Any reader with any positive response and strength of Ask Jeevs as compared to Google, Yahoo, MSN and Others ?
I have tried this some time back, and come to the following conclusion.
- No Out of the box support for 3D UI in XP
- This application requires you to have.NET Framework installed
- The above requirement makes is a low recommendation for any home user
- Application is know to crash very often
-.NET means you will also need a DirectX 9.0 Compatible card for optimum performance
- Doesn't even looks _GOOD_ after if you dont agree with the above points
Apple and its compatriots have been highly innovative. These companies have proven that even if their ideas are well implemented, they cannot always promote them correctly. Other times, a good idea is implemented poorly, and despite their best marketing effort, the product fails. I have compiled 10 of the most notable products released by Apple or its comrades that have failed.
Apple Pippin
Introduced under Spindler's rule as CEO, the Pippin should have won Apple a position in the console market, one Apple had yet to penetrate. Apple's goal was to make the Pippin a multimedia machine, capable of reading CD ROMs, surfing the internet and to play games.
Apple had decided to share the Pippin's source code with developers for a licensing fee. The developers had a lot more flexibility, and would be able to redesign the Pippin's software to make it attractive for any number of markets. However, Apple was able to recruit only 4500 developers willing to pay the licensing fee.
The operating system of the Pippin was based on the MacOS and with a PowerPC 603 running at 66 MHZ, the Pippin used a similar processor to desktop macs at that time. Being a multimedia machine, the Pippin was capable of producing CD quality sound, and displaying up to thousands of colors. With the powerful Power PC processor, Apple thrashed Nintendo and Sega consoles performance wise, but never won a sizable portion of the market.
OpenDoc
The concept behind OpenDoc is an intuitive one. Many elements of applications are redundant (calculators, multimedia players, spreadsheets). Why not 'cut them up' and use different modules interchangeably. Each file would then make calls on these different modules as needed. With OpenDoc, if a user wished to create a word processor document that includes a spreadsheet, the user would not have to copy it over as a table, or use a gimped up version included with the word processor. Instead, they could call up the ClarisWorks for OpenDoc Spreadsheet module and have a full-blown spreadsheet in the middle of a word processing document.
OpenDoc development started in 1995 in collaboration with Novell, IBM and Apple. In 1997, Apple integrated OpenDoc into its core strategy, releasing several OpenDoc apps, and including the technology in Mac OS 7.6. At the same time, the technology was being developed for Windows and UNIX. The companies created the Ci Labs which would authorize OpenDoc components that proved to be compatible as "Live Objects".
In accordance to Apple's vision, it became possible with the OpenDoc compatible version of ClarisWorks to create a document that integrated various OpenDoc modules. The example below has an integrated Video Conferencing session with QuickTime, a browser frame from CyberDog and a graph from another OpenDoc module.
Since 1996, Novell has ceased Windows development of OpenDoc, forcing IBM to take on responsibilities for the platform at the same time they continued development on their AIX (UNIX from IBM). The two versions both evolved and were mature commercial products in 1997. There were problems for OpenDoc, however. At the same time, Microsoft released ann updated version of OLE, and released ActiveX, that closely mimicked the OpenDoc principles. OpenDoc was embraced by major OS developers, but it had failed to attract third party developers. Mac OS 8 was the last release from Apple to include OpenDoc, and it was quietly killed at the hands of Gil Amelio.
Mac TV
Apple was the first major personal computer manufacturer to release a machine with a bundled TV tuner to the public. The Macintosh TV was Apple's first effort in merging the home theater and personal computer. The machine was also one of the only two black Macs ever made (the second being a special edition 5400 sold only in Europe).
The Macintosh TV was first envisioned as a tenth anniversary Mac, but it was eventually cancelled. After the unexpected success of the Color Classic, John Sculley requested that a machine comparable
Yo, Tim, whats up man ???. Seems that you been little more drunk than usual, first dupes and then now 404 . Chill down man, take some vacation have some rest. I bet you need it:)
Accorgin to some reliable information sources, a giant number of users will supposedly hit the slashdot.org. Be ware, this wont happen after 15 Jan 2015
Because, My Friend Non Muslims were the majority that were killed in this Devistation. If there few thousands of Non Muslims that were in Fallujah, then we would also be getting those images.
Both have their own strengths and weakens. As far as i can say is that this upto to the target users. As most of them will be using Windoze for thier desktops, Microsoft seems to be the obvious choice, but from an ASP (Application Server Provicers) point of view, I feel that it is better to use J2EE, and mainly due to the freedom of development that you have. The company that i work for is http://www.gonetbpo.com/
My company AMZ Ventures Inc is offering Stock options to us, but the problem is that we have to _BUY_ those stock, in the current Stock market in Pakistan, which is solely run by a few Members of the stock marekt makes me feel pretty much risky about going for this option, not because that i dont i have faith in my Job, rather i feel pretty much confident and happy with the job, but the Stock market condition is prohibiting me no to buy the stocks.
I dont know how the other people will feel about that, but i surely think this is a good option, but as most of us has seen the dot com bubble explode, very few will take this risk again, unless they are in Google:)
Once again, the M$ community is making its way to the market despite the efforts of the Opensource Community to promote Linux. It is the time that all of us should braing storm and think a way out of it.
