When you're reclined on the couch or barcalounger or sitting in an airplane seat, the Transformer dock provides a handsfree stand to keep the video you're watching at just the right angle. An iPad you have to hold, an iPad stand typically only has one or two angles to configure. And the Transformer's widescreen format makes for a nicer movie experience.
It does them no good. It's like five minutes work to take the calendar out of Android and then make it a downloadable app. Problem solved. When Moto comes back after them with the patents on cellular wireless radio of voice and data, that's going to be harder to work around in a cellphone.
Some are predisposed to believe the US is bad and I can't disabuse them from that belief. We took Iraq from Saddam Hussein and gave it back to their people, costing us near a trillion dollars and over 4,000 American lives we didn't have to spend. We could have kept it as a vassal, and milked its oil dry, but we didn't. We set the people free and went home. We probably shouldn't have. Saddam Hussein was a very bad man, but he wasn't the only one in Iraq. The Iraqi people don't want to be free, and they found a new tyrant even before we left. Genocide looks like their fate in the near term, and it's hard to escape blame for that now that we've put our boys in it. The individual people were better off as a slave state to the US, no matter how much they hated it, but they're going to like what they get now even less now that we're gone - even though just recently that was their greatest wish. Be careful what you wish for.
Maybe it's best to not get involved in the middle east. They have issues that we, with our 250 year old country just don't understand. What do we know about a war that's gone on 5,000 years? Our whole country is as old as they would think is settling of a nice house, just the the foundation of a good church that might come to something some day. We don't even know what a good grudge is.
And Afghanistan: I have to say this: for 5,000 years gleaning the fields of the fallen is Afghanistan's business model. They've been invaded by everybody, and it seems they've adapted to that quite well - so much so that they need to be invaded now and then because their economy is based on the dross of invading armies. They have no resources except that they're a desert on the road from somewhere to somewhere else. That's not a good country to attack.
We need to express our care for their poor and help them as best we can, and get the heck outta there.
A method, comprising: at a portable electronic device...
All of these software patents require a device to instantiate. So sell a mobile phone that downloads on activation all of the OS and user experience. The device on sale doesn't violate the patents because it doesn't include the feature, and the software download that includes the feature doesn't either because the patent requires a device and the software doesn't include a device.
Problem solved. Maybe I should patent that - but I won't.
You're mistaking me for somebody who wasn't there then. What do all these things that failed have in common? As they died, what killed them? Was it Microsoft's ownership of the common platform and deprecation of them because of their lack of commitment to Microsoft's goals? Are you trying to remind people about the companies Microsoft has killed in the past to warn them off of doing something new? That would be bad. That would be prevention of progress. That would be veiled threats. And all of those companies that died had Microsoft agreements, and then got screwed in preference to others that were more malleable. They took the devil's deal you offer and lost their soul without their brief moment of joy anyway. And now their names are historical footnotes.
To win now you don't have to treat with the devil. There is an Open way.
What the US might think is the least of his problems. I think top of mind for him is how to embrace his own military establishment, and reassure them they will not lose influence. I should think he's well trained on the levers of power, so maybe this goes easy.
If the military doesn't accept him, things get pretty random. Random is not good.
Some 0.1 percent of his subjects will now kill themselves in mourning. Is that enough of an appreciation of how important he was?
He was a bad man. bent on nuclear proliferation and providing arms to our enemies. He starved millions of his own people to death. He dedicated something like 1.5 million man-years to the reception of former US president Jimmy Carter.
That's moot now. His son may be coherent, or the military cabal that kills him may be. The news item is that the situation just became fluid. I hope the State department isn't on Christmas break for this one.
MapReduce is an implementation of an algorithm first presented in a 1970's issue of the ACM. I would commend to startups membership and ownership of the patent-expired content composed therein. There's a lot of untapped potential in there yet - and much dross. If we will stand on the shoulders of giants though it's good to know where the giants were and what they did. Brin was a good scholar here, and Page gave something new. It was the fusion of old ideas and new that made Google. If you want to be the new Google, the ACM journals are a good start. Just remember to add something new too.
OK. If it works for you, go with it. Save the tips for when you might go on a long flight, or have kids in the backseat when you go on a road trip. Personally I'm fine the the Transformer's battery life - I only charge up a couple times a week. But sometimes I'm caught being forgetful, so for me more is always better.
If you got one of the first iPad shipment you could double your money on eBay that day - especially if you offered international shipping. It took the world's finest supply chain 20 months to ramp to meet demand. It shocked even Apple. There were nearly riots. It set records for new products, and ran halfway through the second version of the product.
If that's not selling well at first, I wonder what a successful product launch in a new category is. What could you have to gain from voicing such a blatant lie? Nobody could possibly believe it.
Microsoft "won" on the netbook by killing the category. We had nice, snappy Linux netbooks because Linux is thin and light. Convert the vendors to XP, and then to W7, and then threaten them. It's hard to get a Linux netbook now, or one with XP because of "partner" deals to prevent Linux netbooks. And with W7 the experience is completely unsat, unless you drive up the BOM cost with more memory and GPU. And so the category dies because base utility + performance + low cost was what defined the category. What a "win" that is, to head off the competition and kill off the category out from under them without adding any value. Yay team. Way to prevent progress - for a while. Your team did the same thing with the "smartbook" category, that was looking promising.
You have no clue why we hate you, do you? It was this very thing that sparked the migration to mobile that you can't stop. Your flopping about in the mobile category is quite entertaining.
People don't want Windows. People haven't wanted Windows since Windows 95, when it was cool. Microsoft tries very hard to make sure people don't get a choice for anything but Windows. People want to do stuff, and for that neither Windows nor Office is required - as some 50 million iPad users, as many Mac users, hundreds of millions of Android phone and tablet users are discovering. Office is neat, but office apps have been a solved problem for 20 years.
We're going mobile, and Microsoft isn't coming with us. W8 isn't going to win mobile, it's going to kill Microsoft's place on the desktop.
Here's what W8 is going to do:
Kill the 30 year marriage with Intel. Founded on screwing IBM it was bound to end eventually. The ARM thing was only the last straw - your lame driver support and slow evolution was already driving them away.
Kill OEM relationships. Wait 'till the OEMs find out how much of a leg up Nokia has got. They're going to hop off to save themselves.
Kill ISV relationships. What's this Windows App store stuff? ISVs were starting to get wise to the whole "private API" thing anyway.
Kill retail relationships. What's this Windows App store stuff? You cutting us out of the loop now?
Kill VAR relationships. "What, we can't even initiate the software relationship and get the residuals now?"
Kill enterprise customer relationships. Breaks application compatibility again. WTF? If we've got to migrate again already, it's time to get off the train to crazytown.
And of course the relationship with the consumer market is already dead. iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tabs don't need antivirus - and the implicit performance and battery hit those things imply.
I love this "cannibalized" term being abused in this way. It expresses why PC vendors didn't give us the iPad - it would cannibalize their PC sales. The iPad isn't the same species as netbooks and cannot cannibalize them. Mac sales are up too, so it didn't eat into Apple's sales. What it did do is eat everybody else's netbook lunch.
People install other OSs all the time. I've seen Macbooks with W7 and an Air with Debian in the normal course.

Try the Transformer Prime. It has a dockable keyboard. Or get a Bluetooth keyboard for your other tablet. Using it like a tablet is just the USP. It's a form factor, not a religion. You can attach stuff to your tablet. We just mostly do that wireless now, and only when we want or need to.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually though, most of us. Changes to the C standard are a big deal.
You can browse the Android Marketplace with it now. Not the same thing.

No. Patent law is way more fussy than that.

PGP is now owned by Symantec.
Social engineering attacks. "Did you get this memo?" tpsreports.doc
I've had to do some work with folks from PGP. Naturally they encrypt their email. And expect you to be able to decrypt it. Can become tedious.
Some think that northern NK has reverted to cannibalism. I really think healthcare is low on their list of issues.
His armies could be had for a handful of rice, and his generals for a slice of bacon.
