Thanks for your details. I have wanted an SSD, but I can't justify the price for a "hobby" machine. This seems like it will make a great compromise, and 4GB cache will probably go further with OS X than Windows 7.
I read through the article to see the prices: "The initial three drives in the Seagate Momentus XT line-up will retail for $156 (500GB), $132 (320GB), and 250GB ($113). Those prices equate to roughly $0.31 to $0.45 per gigabyte, which puts these drive within striking distance of a standard HD in terms of price and much less expensive than any SSD."
This looks interesting enough for me to look into the compatibility with my MacBook Pro. Anyone with a MacBook Pro had sizing problems when replacing the hard drive? I imagine the size tolerance to be tiny in the modern MacBooks.
So if I start a non-profit caring for big cats (there really is one near me) I can't advertise for donations on Google? What is the Microsoft ad contract like?
Really, your telling me there are plans for the Death Star on the phone and you can't get them any other way if it gets wiped?
Call history will be with the phone company, get a warrant. So you loose self incriminating video they took of themselves committing the crime, probably to post on youtube later...
How much of that would be frowned upon in the real world? If you can find an example on a web site, your manager isn't going to care if you lift it. As long as it doesn't cause a IP lawsuit. In fact, for probably 20 years since the introduction of object oriented design, the industry has preached "code reuse."
So some people spend time in Facebook like members of the TheGuild spend time in WoW. That generates lots of page views and traffic. On the other hand I visit facebook about twice a month and use google countless times a day.
Except that the iPhone does run Apple apps in the back ground. The OS has a number of things running to be able to receive a call, keep it touch with the tower, update the battery icon, the signal bars, etc.
Even though 3rd party apps can't run in the back ground, the iPhone is running several tasks all the time. Its just those task were all written by apple.
I haven't seen the N900, so I can't speak to the speed difference.
Its hard to tell an app is crap until you use it. "Can't judge a book by its cover." Its much more true that you can't judge software by what marketing told you.
I would have to carefully evaluate each app one at a time never loading or running more than 1 per day, to be able to figure out which one was written by an idiot.
But if they do allow multitasking, I hope Apple becomes MORE restrictive on what they let on the App store. I don't want crap apps sucking my battery down.
As a developer concerned with power usage I would like more access to tell the OS things like how often I need a GPS location update. You can tell the API to update your app when you have moved x distance, but that implies the OS is watching movement constantly and only updates you every so often. I'd also like to shut down such resources when on a screen that doesn't need them, if I can quickly bring them back up.
Matt Groening has said that the Simpson's team uses the comic book guy specifically to spare with their hardcore fan base the inhabits the online forums. (Only he probably worded it much better than I just did.)
While there are many reason's why the US approach to ethanol as a fuel is misguided, I'm hesitant to jump on this bandwagon yet. I'd like to see some independent research on the issue.
Ethanol collects water which can cause all kinds of problems in a vehicle where the fuels just sits (read isn't used often). But I wonder how Brazil has managed to use Ethanol for so long without all of the fuel pumps dieing if this problem hasn't been solved somewhere.
Epic is just assume I will have to read the rest of the interview. Just the first page brought back memories of things I had forgotten like "Epic Pinball."

Really? That might explain those lame windows '95 looking phones with the same price as the iPhone I see in the AT&T store.
Sorry. Maybe I'm getting old, but what is Qbert slang for? I know the game, BTW.
Don't post to FB or Twitter anything you don't want your boss, mother, or next interviewer to read.

If you "hold it" doesn't that effect the out come of the experiment? Is this a bad test or just bad reporting?
Write your congress creature to push on patent reform, or more funding for the patent office to check for prior art.

Hate it when my DNA doesn't resolve.
Sorry I know its just a type-o, but its funny to me.

If they had just called it SkyNet (or even SyFyNet) we could all rest easier.

What is with the spin talk here in the title? Basically this just says I need to use better passwords. Speak truths....

SMS costs a fortune in the US. I had it disabled.

Is this the first time the EU has sued a member state for not passing a law? If so this will be an interesting case.
