So we don't have the plans behind the whole rocket. I'm pretty sure that the subcontractors (Rocketdyne, McDonald Douglas, Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, and their new owners in some cases) still have their individual parts, or way better versions of them.
If you seriously think that a mission to the Moon would be starting with a blank sheet of paper, you're off your axle.
How about: "Well, we haven't seen any product announcements from Apple yet. We're very interested in seeing what they may come up with due to their track record of making incredible technology easy to use, but in the meantime we're going to continue shipping a product that 12 million customers enjoy every day."
Except that Apple is the one company that managed to convince both the RIAA and the MPAA that digital distribution is a good idea, and signed them. Oh, and NBC, CBS, and ABC.
Cracking those nuts is way harder than ESPN and Discovery. You get those two networks, the rest will play ball.
My cable box is a piece of shit, and I want to put a big gaping hole through it with a.12ga slug.
That being said, the company I work for is HP's largest thin client customer. In certain situations (retail) thin clients are great. For general purpose use (offices), a more flexible solution is necessary - we use standardized OEM PCs and laptop models with our custom Windows image.
Because there's never any issues with user accounts, authentication, VPN connections, VDI agent installation, servers, network, etc.
The modern support center does call routing in addition to simple break / fix support. If they can't fix it, they can escalate it to those who can. That function will still be necessary.
Note that I'm coming from a place where I don't know much about how digital cable systems work, but I'm curious:
What effect would it have on the cable system to convert all available frequencies for use on an IP network, and deliver the channel that you're watching via video-over-IP, rather than having a discrete data "channel" and delivering lots of channels of video simultaneously that you're not watching?
It seems that for the cost of a bit of channel-changing delay, they could harvest a shedload of bandwidth. Unless they've already done this with digital cable systems, then I guess I'm just catching up.
Apple doesn't like that so they censor the term making it harder to jail break, and the effect is that more people keep using their service instead of going to another app store.
Has anyone, in the entire history of the iPhone, searched the app store looking for a way to jailbreak their iPhone / iPad? Or, do you think it more likely that they search Google?
Besides, I'm pretty sure that any JailbreakMyDevice.app that gets submitted to the app store would be roundly rejected.
I really really do not like censorship, but this seems like the very definition of making a mountain out of a mole hill. It is very unlikely that there was some meeting of senior management where they decided to censor the word "jailbreak" from the app store, because of those filthy jailbreakers defiling their pristine iDevices...
The stupidity is easy to spot: some assnuts put "jailbreak" in the list of words censored, and some other assnuts thought it was a good idea and approved it.
Because he didn't make any of that money based on Government-subsidized infrastructure, did he? Like, for example, the protocols and research necessary to create the Internet?
This is like someone making shedloads of money with a trucking company, and then doing everything possible to not pay for roads.
When I had this linked to me by our local Microsoft guy here at work, I looked at the Wolfram results, and #2 was an LG blackberry clone, and #3 wasn't even a phone - it was a (refurb) HP TouchPad.
Yeah, I'm going to believe that a Windows Phone is closely followed by a no-name software "smart" phone, followed by a discontinued already-broken-once-and-fixed tablet are the top 3 rated smartphones out there.
Actually, Apple put out conceptual videos and information in 1987, called "Knowledge Navigator". The developers of the original Siri app (before Apple bought it) referenced this work as some of their inspiration.
If you go to Wolfram Alpha and type in the same query, you still won't get helpful results. Besides, since this was first published at a WinMo fan site (http://wmpoweruser.com/siri-knows-which-is-the-best-phone-ever-and-its-not-the-iphone/), the results have changed to an HTC phone.
When they published, by the way, #2 was an LG blackberry clone and #3 was a refurb HP TouchPad which isn't even a phone. A bad question results in bad data.

Diablo III Released

· Score: 1
Heck, before Diablo 3 was announced, they actually rebuilt the Mac Diablo 2 app so that it would run natively on OS X, so that people could go back and play it again.
Presidential election years are all about wedge issues, and putting your opponents into a jam. Obama loses the election if he loses the youth vote, so he's gonna pander in that direction, and position the right between the choice of "they don't want you to get the health care you need" and "they're trying to prevent you from being educated and raising your own stature in the most American of ways".
He loses the election without women, so he make sure that the right wingers end up on the wrong side of every women's issue.
He loses the election without the independent social moderates, so he gives a wink and a nod to gay marriage, because it causes the right wing to froth at the mouth and alienate the middle even more.
There's just about zero chance that women, GLBTs, and college kids are going to vote for Romney, but he can use them to make Republicans to look like total assholes to the moderate independents he has to get the votes of by forcing Republicans into counter-positions. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so predictable; and the Democrats haven't had someone this good at the game since Bill Clinton.
That's exactly what I was thinking. How is this different from any other Fortune 100's headquarters campus? Hell, The company I work at has a cafe at each of their divisional offices too. Unfortunately, the one at my location is garbage; I like the idea of not having to drive somewhere else if I don't bring my own lunch.
They remark on the square footage, and that is quite large; but the campus is going to house thousands of employees.
How about corporate America, where not a single damn is given about Crysis frame rates? Maybe anyone who buys one of the UltraBooks that will be made possible through the low wattage of these parts?

Don't forget that when you have any application that wants to use the Oracle Social Network, you have to reconfigure your tnsnames.ora file.
Unfortunately, it's likely there will be lots of collateral damage amongst those of us caught in the crossfire.

That's what he should have said.

God, I'd hate to have a product that I've sold millions of units of, with accelerating volume. What a failure.
Note: AppleTV is not just the iTunes video rentals / store. AppleTV does more than that.

... colocation facilities in New Jersey and Connecticut see a rise in business.
Do these idiots know that electrons don't care about state boundaries?

What I'm saying is that if the data is garbage, then the conclusions are garbage.
Why would they pick Best Buy, rather than Amazon or Google Shopping? Why not combine all of them into an aggregate?

Oddly, the video they made was set in September of 2011. Siri launched in October of 2011. Not bad on the prediction.

That was 10 years after they were done with D2.

Exactly my point. By playing those issues, he loses exactly nothing, and wins over more moderates.
