I'd seems to me very clear that with big players entering market competition will be too high to get profit/significant market share.
Does Real thinking to join resources with any other companies providing similar service?
MS, for example, was always big enemy of Real, but isn't time to forget and cooperate:)?
I think company on this market needs to have hardware backed support. Apple have it, Sony can have it, MS definitely have it. Real?
Original comment wasn't clear enough, I have to say. If you need an mp3 player + storage for files, I would sure go with IPod. But - archos gmini have priceless feature for people with digital cameras - _build_in_ CF reader and LCD screen to check out pictures. So, if you want that kind of functionality, nothing better than Arcos. Other similar solutions (i.e. flashtrax) way more expensive or bulkier. You can buy Belkin external CF reader for iPod, but it's sucks so much I cant' even tell:)
Not exactly. I still remember those times, and, as in many other areas in USSR, in healthcare soviet people can do wonderful things, but in very limited quantities. I.e. some hospitals was top notch, so was doctors who worked there, one of best in world, but avarage clinic in country wasn't good at all.
Not only Russia have new ballistic missiles (Topol-M), but they are still have some SS-18 armed and ready. I didn't read article, of cause:), but in Russian news it says that this launch was also military test of old SS-18 specifically about how it behaves after long shelf storage. Which is I think is a brilliant business idea - conducting military test and getting paid for it:)
Well, the point was, that those rings was under influence of main one for so long, plus Sauron was involving in making them (AFAIR), that they are became evil be themselfs. Not quite as powerfull, but enough to be get attention from rest of dark forces. Orcs, that escaped slauthering by Araghorn (he died not so long time ago), people from south, who wants revenge, etc.
And wasn't many good guys at this time (most of Elvs already left). Again, I do not remember all details, but it was very well rounded.
In fact, there was a few books, written by Russian SF writer Nick Perumov. Last one was complete crap, but first two quite good. In fact, first one sounds very like JRRT himself.
It's a sequel, 300 years after War of the Ring.
The main idea is that one ring was destroyed, but others, human rings survived, and guy who happens to be hair of Borromir started to collect them. Very well written and connected to LotR.
Well, if company dosn't care about China market... Then yes, they will laugh. Until another company starts to sell new disks there, and people in US starts to buy cheap DVD/EVD players "made in China" bundled with new disks.
Because they
1) Dont want to pay royalties
2) Want more pie from this market
3) Because they can
Since it's goverment funded, quite simple would be to raise custom fees for imported DVD, and force foreign companies to produce movies in new format for new market. Then companies will try to sale same EVD disks in other markets, just to cut some expenses, and we will get another pain in ass trying to make a rip from new media:)
Well, another way for MS will be to make a better deal with recording companies.
AFAIR, Apple gets $0.10(?) only from those $0.99, everything else goes to music giants.
Make a better deal with them, start to make a contracts with artists directly, even buy out some of those record companies or their archives, MS have enough money for it.
I used TaxAct last year, it's free (no need for me for state edition) and only ~$10 for e-filing.
Don't think I would like to trust software version 0.0.0.4 with my finances, anyway
There wasn't more than 3 people in ISS, except for a short time as a visitors, and those visitors had they own Soyuz docked to ISS as well.
New rescue device, X-38, developed by NASA, still in development (if they didn't cancel it at all) for at least 4 years. BTW, it should be much simple, then new generation of shuttles. 5 years, huh?
Nope, GLONASS will not be part of Galileo.
GLONASS started to work at 1993, and still up and running, they have 11 satellites total at this time (up to 24 at 2007(?)), and it's military controlled system. Many russian-made receivers can work with both GPS and GLONASS system.
So, we should thank RIAA for gave us such a wonderful music as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Doors and others.
God lord, I mean, RIAA, thank you, thank you, for your existence

They also never cheating, stealing, using drags, taking money from cryminals.
Usually you can recognize them by large white wings and yellow light aroung head.
I'm using software firewall (tiny 2.0, which is free, but there is plenty of others), that allows to restrict connections from any program by port# and ip addresses. Therefore, my Outlook Express can only connect to selected news, SMTP and POP3 servers. No shitty images, scripts or activeX controls allowed:)

70% oil in US used for transportation. 70 damn percents.

Just wonder, how much did it cost already? "Science is a way to satisfy your curiosity for money from government"
This thing can lift 12 tons of water, and don't even need to land for re-fill, it can scoop full tank in 14 seconds on the fly. BE-200 Photos
You knew it, rright? :)
