If you have followed Microsoft developments around Longhorn you might have noticed that search is one of the top priority features that microsoft is going to integrate directly into the operating system. So once Longhorn is released Microsoft would become the biggest competitor to Google's search applications on the web as well the desktop(with this application)
Search is the next big thing on which a lot of players are concentrating and Microsoft entering the field has skewed the competition towards the desktop and everyone including Google is preparing for the battle.
Yeah almost all of the 30 bucks is actually going to boeing if you see boeing's pricing webpage. The airlines are just doing this to provide more services to the business users.
But your comment about BA not offering this is not true, sure lufthanasa is the first one but BA is also in line to start offering these services It will not much of a differentiator once all the airlines start offering the service as the ISP would be the same in all the cases(Boeing).
The site mentions that it will be over a broadband connection. But the website also mentions that they will using 802.11b so that's a maximum bandwith of 11Mbps shared among atleast 15-20 users at the very minimum. Factoring the satellite connection lag I'm pretty sure it will go down to a crawl. Just check your emails and get along with it.
They're not going to sue the C++ standards committee because it won't earn them anything except hostility.
True but that doesn't stop them from targetting the small players which come out with C++ compilers. There is something inherently suspicious why they should only target SUN. You have borland, a much smaller player. Is Java technology used in digital camera's? If it is we found our smoking gun.
The patents deal with objects and the way objects can be manipulated in a computer. Basically it deals with object oriented programming. Now someone tell me that OOPS is not patented a technology and we don't have to pay a royalty everytime we write a program using the OOPS paradigm.
So the question is what ramifications do these software patents have for the programming world as a whole? And why is Kodak targetting only Java and therefore Sun. Why not C++ or other OOPS languages?
At the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash., Linux has all but taken over, said Scott Studham, associate director for advanced computing there.
"When I got here three years ago, there were circa 1,000 processors here, of which four ran Linux," he said. "Now there are circa 2,000 processors, and maybe 64 of them don't run Linux."
If this doesn't show that Linux has gained over the years then I don;t know what will.
..But that was a different person doing something like this over the same area. See here.

..the Dailywireless team had a higher powered antennas.
So the the article is little biased when it says kismet picked up more. Sure it has the ability to catch cloaked SSID's but having a high powered antenna is definite boost towards gathering more info about access points.
Anyone else notice that all new worms start infecting computers on a friday and it really becomes big when people come back to work on Monday. Sounds like a planned attack to me.
Then you can consider a rigid design - which means you can consider outsourcing - but I ask, what novel piece of software was invented in a developing country?
I strongly disagree with that statement. I work in an software consulting company in India and I have seen examples of great pieces of software being designed in India. Mind you, these were not your run of the mill software projects, these were complex projects which solved complex business problems at the very heart of the clients business. Just because you don't see the applications or they are not visible does not mean they haven't been designed and developed in a developing country.
Take for example FlexCube which is banking software developed and designed in India. Now this software has been voted the best a banking software for two consecutive years and is deployed in major banks around the world. (No I don't work for the company that developed this piece of software)
..7. Google's reported 50% margin with its AdSence (displaying Google ads on third party sites) is unsustainably high for a middleman. Competitors will offer similar services in the future, taking less of a cut.
Are you worried google will loose focus?

This will stop your worries
In an unusual provision for a technology company, Google will create two classes of shares with different voting rights, a move that aims to guarantee founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will maintain decision-making authority. Such structures have proven beneficial in media companies, such as The New York Times, the filing states.
So this mean Larry and Sergey will still drive Google and everyone knows how they work. I don't think they will just react how wall street wants them to react.

Like when slashdot collectively said that the I-Pod mini is crap and it turned out to be a hit?
You are speaking about that right?
So what happens to the palladium bioses that the bios companies were building? Are they also going to be shelved?
