My guess, expect for maybe one or two devices on t-mobile and at&t, nokia in US is synonymous with el cheapo throwaway phones.
Basically, nokia pissed of the big carriers by refusing them access to the firmwares (so they could neuter such things as bluetooth file transfer). And now said carriers wont sell high end nokia phones with contract.
While it will be a brick and a half, bug labs have a product that can have modules supporting GSM/UMTS or CDMA2K attached (they are talking to both AT&T and Verizon right now). And yes, it will run android. Only problem is that so far the only screen available is a 2.5" at 320x240.
Except that do not include the G-apps or market. And good luck finding the high profile apps outside of market (legally at least) even if they are free...
last time i checked, the very existence of humans have had a large effect on everything mentioned in the summary. I am surprised the mentioned group is not advocating issuing cyanide pills or something...
As they say around my part of the world (not that it will translate well) "14 is a state, not a age".
Absolutists terms is something one see in young teens (seriously, i keep hearing "hate" being used when "dislike" would more correctly capture the emotion someone have about something) and religious fanatics, meaning that Mr. Simmons have never grown out of the teen state or have become fanatical about the recording industries continued existence.
I wonder if not a ready built linux computer from places like system76 would give the same experience as osx on a mac. In either case one have a *nix running on top of hardware that have been selected for its ability to play nice with the software.
Single cable, never even bothered trying with a Y-cable as that will by definition not work if the hub is un-powered.
And yes, it could be a case of the motherboard being a bit more tolerant. Hard to say without attaching a multimeter and perhaps running a protocol sniffer while attaching the drive to the hub, and then comparing that to attaching it to a motherboard port.
Still, the drive in question specifically came with a non-Y cable. So it should not require a tolerant port, unless QA at the company sucks...
I wonder if this is the appeal of the ARM based SoCs like beagleboard. Then one stack a minimal *nix and python on top to get the modern equivalent of a C64 with basic.
Don't mix nerds and geeks. The nerds still don't care, but their domain have increasingly been invaded by geeks. Geeks that stand with one leg in the nerd domain, and one in the fashion domain.
Still, that is a targeted tool. What i refer to is how sooner or later such specific programs as a word processor gains the ability to be programmed for just about any task.
So your saying the hubs, ipods, phone and toaster where all plugged into the usb ports of the computer directly? As plugging them into the other stuff into the usb hub should result in nothing more then ignored devices if they asked for to much juice. At least if both the devices and the hubs where well behaved. I can't get 2.5 drive to spin up unless i plug it into the pc directly or a powered hub.
How come any software from microsoft takes on the shape of a RAD system sooner or later? MS office with VBscripts, RAD. Sharepoint, apparenty a webapp RAD.
I am unsure if want plays much into it. The computer industry is still young, the generation that trained themselves to use the early mac is still around in various offices and teaching positions. As such, they pass on to the next what they themselves learned by rote. This results in training of memorized buttons and actions, not concepts that can be applied anywhere. Basically, one is programming robots/monkeys. And the industry don't mind, as they can squeeze more value out of their hardware and software investments this way. That is, the choice between a mac or a pc ends up being a choice between working the desired job or not. Not being from USA, i can tell when someone is studying some art topic. How? it's the student with the mac. Even people that was happily using anything else before they started studying said topic ends up using a mac.

Looks like there are some old time gamers working at Palm.
Iirc, there is not enough air density that high up for a copter to work.
I wonder if one could get away with focusing on the directx set first, and then branch out from there. Hell, maybe borrow code from Wine.

Points well made, and something i should have thought of myself. Not sure why it slipped my mind.

Adam, Jamie or buster? Or maybe the junior team? Maybe fill a pool with nerds and have Kari do the jump in boots and plaid skirt...
The mob only rule when their access to junk food and reality tv is at risk...

Or perhaps he wanted it for his own use rather then to sell?

The guy was 19, asshole-like "king of the world" attitude is part of the package...
One can only hope that he have become more mellowed and reflective now that he has passed 25...

And most of those tasks ends with the word "design"...

People still sync? i thought these days it was all about accessing gmail via imap.
I thought there was already the word "geek" to cover that. Tho these days i guess geek have become a subset of hipster.

Sounds like what Google recently demoed for Android then:

Heh, i read wikipedia...

Just shows how effective the MCE program have been. Its basic level is is all about creating sales packages for AD installations.
