Don't worry... These claims are Bogus.. Nothing but snake oil.. 'WiFi on Steroids' which allows a large number of users within a 50-mile radius to tap into a single high-speed broadband connection for the same price as a traditional WiFi router.
Sounds like the car that runs on water... The IPhone 4 not having an antenna problem, people are just holding it wrong.. and Timmy at the bottom of a well..
Still its MS which was backing HD-DVD which failed that is making the case that Blu-Ray is dead. in reality niether format really took off... both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray failed to take off.. and now with absence of a competing standard Blu-Ray sales are up.. but still not "Taking Off" like it should.. Which boils down to.. Blu-Ray Pricing is Crazy High.. While Sony has a bit to do with it.. Its more about Greed of Publishers trying to get more money... Sony should not shoulder all of the blame for the lack of Blu-Ray Adoption.. Everyone is reaching back into the cookie jar for seconds here.. All except the customer which has to put the cookies in the lar.
Try this with a PC.. Don't accept the Windows EULA and get your money back from Microsoft...
The better part of it is that MS States the license is not transferable in the EULA but I have never heard of MS going after ANY used PC seller to enforce this...
Software purchased with Volume Licensing agreements does make sense for this ruling to apply to.. But the wording in the ruling will make it easy for for anything to be "Licensed" and toss first sale out the window..
This should not be applying to sales where single "License" purchases are the norm rather than the exception such as games, books, cars ect...
One approach would be to require companies to having pricing that would leave First Sale intact and some guidelines to prevent "Abuse" of the concept where single licenses would be the expectation of the consumer.
But Seriously... In the end it was a lack of BP's oversight to watch over everything to prevent this type of disaster.. This is probably the biggest thing that wrong with big business and politics.. There is no accountability anymore (If there ever was). This appears to be a PR Campaign to draw attention away from BP's faults.. In the end the only lesson that will be learned will be that a good PR campaign after a disaster can work wonders.
The Big Concern is... the PS3 has done nothing but lose functionality throughout its life. The first real feature add is 3D... Don't get me wrong I like the PS3.. I just don't like what Sony has done with the platform since launch. The only way to get any big corporation to listen is not to buy their products and be vocal on-line about it.
Use a SFF Zotac ION.. Never had any issues with it running Linux to display any content.. Low power usage..
I Perfer to roll my own devices instead of using any of the streaming players on the market... I pay a little more but I am happy with the product in the long run as when it doesn't do something I want... It doesn't take too long before it does do what I want.
They will soon be spouting off about all the innovation they have done in the Tablet market...
Watch to see the way the market sways.. and bring out a product about a year after everyone else does..
This is innovation?
I guess they do innovate ways to completely miss what customers are looking for by attempting to add all the of teh key features of all of the leading edge products that came out before them.. But they always fail miserably..
Microsoft... Bringing you Today's technologies 4 years from now..
Wheres the innovation?
And really? an App store? For WIndows? Cloud Computing? Really? Isn't it here now today? Searching the Web or Locally? (Hmm... I dunno if I have been doing this my whole life) Rapid Startup times? Every OS I have boots in less than 30 seconds.. Last time I booted windows it took 5 mins.
Thats a big part of the problem... They are going to Auction it off.. The 700mzh spectrum they auctioned off 2 years ago is still not yet deployed... for the most part Carriers are Buying up spectrum to prevent competition.. What is needed in the US market is more lightly Licensed Spectrum like the 3.65-3.7 that the smaller companies can afford to use so that there is some competition... right now all the unlicensed band is consumed where there is any population density and the 3.65-3.7 is just too small to make much of a difference.. not to mention the license for it is broken.. As it only takes 1 person in a area to make the whole spectrum unusable and there is no recourse for anyone to take to get them to properly use the spectrum.
This like WiFi degrades significantly with distance..
Doing some rough math.. A Yak that can go 5km/hour when fully loaded using your numbers can Transter about 25 Peta-bytes per second over 1 Meter... at 25 Meters your down to 1 Peta-byte/s.. This is Payload Only.. It does not include packing or transferring information on and off the SD's. The Latency would be extremely high... I am gussing that the Protocols that have been developed for data transmissions to the Moon might still not have enough forgiveness to hand the latency of this.
This is one of those areas where the US is lagging behind the rest of the world.. There already is.. The US Just doesn't use it..
My American made car.. Displays how many liters of fuel is needed to travel 100 Kilometers which is very useful..(This mileage rating was also posted on the window sticker when i bought it).. But when you switch the computer off metric you get MPG instead.
I think this has everything it needs to be deemed one of the worst ideas I have ever heard... Unless the poster is looking for some upper management style cred by posting this.. Ideas this bad only seem to come from people that have made it to upper Management.
The first thing that came to my mind.. Where does this person live that they have never experienced a cloudy day/week. Just how would people see this light during the day? Or how would they not think its a UFO when they do see it?
Then comes a more rational question.. If They could be detected from Space.. why wouldn't someone be monitoring and contact Emergency Services in affected areas or at least start to make calls to start the domino effect to warn people. But its my understanding detection of them is the hardest as its too late to warn anyone once they have been detected. Right now they can guess using seismic activity.
Facebook is barking up the wrong tree... Greasemonkey has nothing to do with Facebook or blocking content.. it just provides a API that allows people to write scripts to do what Facebook does not like.
This is taking it a bit far.. but its like attacking MS because people use Windows API's pirate software/music/movies ect....
The Source is out there for anyone to pick up if he decides withs not worth his time to fight it.... Chrome has Native support for greasemonkey scripts... So if Facebook is gonna try to shutdown these types of engines that give end users power over what and how things get displayed in their browser they will have to force google to disable it.. and really who has more money than google? definitely not facebook
So if you do some reading.. Most "Helper Monkeys" are given to people that have lost use of their arms/hands.. and yet the TSA mentions "will coach the handler on how to hold the monkey during the visual inspection" and "The inspection process may require that the handler to take off the monkey’s diaper as part of the visual inspection." and "Only the handler will touch or interact with the service monkey."..
Mind you the question does come to mind how the helper monkey's diaper would get changed if you have no use of your hands..Would the monkey change it?
Hmm... did you work for MS during the Early-Mid 90's?
They didn't put any serious effort into a Browser until Netscape started to promote Java and MS saw a platform threat that they had no control over.(Look at IE 2/3/4/5 it wasn't until IE 6 that MS had a usable browser that didn't give BSOD's ever 5 mins).. and by the time IE 6 rolled out they had their fangs deep into java and had "Embraced and Extended(With MS Propitiatory calls which had no place in Java)" sucked cross platform usability out of it.
But put that aside... There are too many people that will leave the default web portal that a browser displays that it is a serious money maker for advertising.
Seriously... Think about it... Companies should not be liable for user submitted content.. Sure they should do something to deter copy-written content submission.. But going as far as saying that You-Tube is 100% evil is just like throwing the baby out with the bath water... When a ISP is purchased the same could be said about anyone that purchased a ISP since its more than likely it was/is used for propagating pirated works... and read a bit more... employees(Producers and marketing) related viacom were submitting copy-written content aswell..
If Viacom or other companies truely believe that all video content should be reviewed by someone at youtube to look for potentially copy-written content they should also be willing to review all outbound digital transmission to ensure that none of their copy-written content is being illegally posted by their staff to the internet based on what their definition piracy is.
This whole thought process is naive at best.. Obviously has no idea what a rootkit is or understand that alot of malware uses rootkits to hide itself from API's and in some cases forces the kernel to respond falsely when queried about details that would reveal the malware itself.
There is also no mention on how hashes could be stored so that they cannot be tampered with by rouge processes and still give the abaility for hashes to be updated for a bug-fix or upgrade nor how to authenticate upgrades/bugfixes in a fashion that would not allow malware penetration.
Does make a good case to sell software to people that will accept the idea that something can be secured 100% against intrusion. But anyone that thinks this is really naive.. There will always be a attack vector for malware or rouge processes to allow unintended access to the system. After all according to Microsoft the UAC will stop viruses and malware from spreading too.. and we can all see how well that is working:)
Yes.. but there is one major factor.. Developers for the Wii know everyone will have a Wiimote so the game designers that produce quality games start with how they can use the Wiimote to interact with the environment.. the PS3 move and MS's Natal.. Most games will be made to be played with the controller that everyone has.. and Support for Functionality of Move/Natal will be added to that.. Sure there will be a few games that will require Move/Natal but I am guessing that marketing will dominate and most games will work without them and take focus away from what you could do if there they knew everyone had a motion based controller.
Hmm.. Are you for real? Bing is a search engine... Firefox/IE/Opera/Safari ect are browsers..
So before your first sentence is complete I have deducted that you have nothing of value to say what so ever since you seem to be unable to differentiate between a browser and a search engine.
Its likely that they will work and being the defaco SVG viewer for the windows platform and initally do some good work thus making it pointless for anyone else to continue to develop a svg viewer for the windows platform.. once they have established themselves.. they will undoubtedly start to add "Features" to svg that require MS API's... Much like they did with java..

Not only that the exploit is 2 years old.. There is no mention of anything thats recent in the article.. Quite the pointless article.
I am sure that if you were to go to their homes on the weekends you would find just as much wifi at home than at school.
