T-H-I-M-E-R-O-S-A-L is the way it is spelled on the vaccination form where it asks
"Are you allergic to Thimerosal (used as a preservative in vaccines)?"
Every woman actor I know has been advised to reduce her stated age by at least 3 years. The presumption is that everyone will assume the age is a lie so if you tell the truth you put yourself at a disadvantage.
It won't be a complete competitor with iToons unless it requires you to install the Google Music Player, the Google Video Player, and grabs all the file associations in your system.
Back when the PC business was mostly Compaq, they made systems that needed all manner of proprietary components. If they have other products which rely on that supply chain they're so deep in the doo-doo that they won't climb out. But the CEO shouldn't worry because even getting fired from that job is more lucrative than many others are.
Sounds like a place I worked where the owner fancied himself a developer because he wrote the initial program in GWBasic. His fair-haired right-hand man wrote (probably still writes) some of the sloppiest code I have ever seen and when the boss man wants a change made he goes to "Karl" who "tweaks" the code solving the immediate problem and all too often creating a morass of workarounds and kludges which end up stifling attempts to extend the code. Rumor has it that they are still using a 12 year old IDE that was new when Win 98 was the latest, greatest thing on the block.
Let's go back and have the argument over "How much can we raise IQ scores" again. Arthur Jensen hasn't gotten nearly enough press coverage since he died. Or we could bow to the superiority of Lake Woebegone which -- as far as I know -- is the only place on the planet where all the children are above average.
The part that concerns me is the part about the "interesting" code from outsourcing. Having spent too much time with "interesting" code I would suggest that if you are not in a position where you can ensure that it is made less interesting then your days are already numbered and it's time to vote with your feet.
Cell phones should also have configurable voice mail settings to extend the time before the call is sent to voice mail. The way it is now, if you aren't sitting there waiting for the call and willing to drop everything to answer it, voice mail takes over and the caller has to pay for the time it takes to listen to the "how to leave voice mail" message and the callee has to pay to retrieve it. If I don't have the phone in my hand or on my desk, it usually takes me the full allotment of time to get the damn thing out of my pocket.
If you pay me just half a million I won't work for your company either. It's less money than Notre Dame had to pay to get their previous coach not to work for them.
If you use Firefox and have a different profile used only for Facebooking, the cookies that the Facebonkers set is invisible to the other profile. I found this out several months ago when I encountered this site:

If more people read Marx instead of equating Soviet style government "communism" with Marxism, reading and studying what Marx actually wrote wouldn't be so controversial. But of course, the USA continues to rail against that particular bogeyman long after it collapsed.
My only use for that space is (was) to provide links to files which made the FTP interface for uploads extremely useful. Verizon's other tools are awkward, cumbersome, and roughly equivalent to reaching over your right shoulder with your left hand to retrieve something from your left-side back pocket. Using FTP only required a simple script.
It's very important to the fundamentalist evangelical crowd represented by people like Al Mohler, John Hagee, and Tim LaHaye. The "logic" works like this:
Because of the fall from grace in the Garden of Eden, mankind became tainted with Original Sin.
Jesus came to save mankind from this taint.
If there was no Original Sin, then there is no need for Jesus.
Therefore, the story of the Garden of Eden -- and the rest of the Bible -- MUST be literally true.
Now see, it's perfectly clear.
Apple can't compete on price. If there is a comparable product available at a significantly lower price it will overcome the advantage provided by the cachet of the Apple logo. Apple knows this so it does its best to keep those products off the market and if that won't work there's always license fees to augment the revenue stream. Whether or not those patents represent true, non-obvious, innovations is eventually settled in court. But regardless of the eventual outcome, it is Apple's best interest to keep the competitive products out of consumers' hands rather than allowing them to develop a following.
Do they still make the Taco flavor? All I ever see is Nacho Cheese (which is an abomination to be sure and part of the reason why I stick with Wasabi peas).
You do have an accurate gas gauge. It's the one on the gas pump when you fill up. Keeping track of miles since last fill up gives you a very good estimate of MPG. Days since last fill up adds in MPDay. Paying attention to -- and trying to maximize -- the MPG on the dashboard (which is always optimistic) improved my calculated MPG from 33 to 35 and cut my MPD from 1.1 to 0.95.
The car I drive less often has an "instantaneous" MPG setting which is also fun to play with -- going down hills it maxes out at 99. It also shows the effect of rapid acceleration compared to acquiring momentum more gradually.

And a spacecraft is nothing but a mess of software applications held together with wire and tinfoil.
Wow. I'd never have thought that it needed Steve Jobs to work.

Just post those bank account numbers, the routing codes, and a credit card number or 2. They're not worth hiding.

At this point the goal is the same one as having pink towels and shoes at NFL games -- to raise awareness.

Gee. Do you suppose that the credit and debit card processing banks are exaggerating the cost of a transaction? Nah.
They're probably using a version of MS Flight Simulator as the base for their control application.

Someone will need to create the apps dontcha know? Or will the next generation of tablets come with code generators?

The objective is to catch up with the Apple OS version numbers -- Firefox uses the same release strategy.

Just what everyone wants -- a TV that only shows information in a proprietary format and the content is only what Steve Jobs thinks should be seen.
