I don't see why this hasn't gotten more fanfare or attention. A full dev kit costs $4.30. Some of the Arduino stuff I've seen starts at $40. You get 2 chips, a USB programmer, dev environment AND.... a real C environment. Not another language.
There is no change in the rule of english. There is absolutely nothing wrong with "The phone needs charged".
In both cases, charging is a verb present tense, the second case doesn't make sense. The phone needs charging. The phone needs to be charging.
Purple is an adjective in this case. You're right, the first case doesn't make sense because purple isn't a The phone needs purple. The phone needs to be purple.
1) I'm from the Midwest, so I'm not lumped in with the Pennsylvania comments below 2) Rich is only a noun. Early is a noun, adverb, or adjective. 3) Charge is either a verb or a noun. Past tense conjugation of an English verb is to typically add 'ed'. Charged is also an adjective when describing the state of something.
When used with the helper verb of 'be'. The phone is charging. (verb, the phone is doing something.) The phone is charged. (adjective, the phone has the physical state of 100% battery).
Here 'needs' acts as a verb for to have need of; require, The phone needs charging. (verb, the phone needs to be placed near an electrical source) The phone needs charged. (adjective, the phone needs the state of 'charged').
Now, when talking about past tense events: The phone needed to be charged. (verb, the phone, at some point in the past, needed connected to an electrical outlet) The phone needed charged. (adjective, the phone, at some point in the past, needed more electricity).
Because it costs less than a few hundred to replace? There isn't a massive 4" touch screen just waiting to crack. Without said screen they're much smaller. They don't need charged daily.
My Nokia 1100 was hands down the best phone I ever owned. Very tiny, nearly indestructible, easy to read screen, T9 prediction was pretty good and it had the best 'feature' on any phone, an actual LED flashlight, I think I charged it once or twice a week.
Now that I'm on Verizon, I wish they had made a CDMA version.
How many years did it take Apple to release a mouse that allowed "Right-Click"?
Apple Mighty Mouse came out in 2005. But Mac OS 8 came out in 1997. Worked just fine with 2 button mice.
How many things in some Unix/Windows programs force you to right click to get to something? By making the least common denominator no right click, it forces UI designers to make a good design for someone who may not know how to right click.
According to The Harvard Crimson, the site was comparable to Hot or Not, and "used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person".
Mark Zuckerberg co-created Facebook in his Harvard dorm room. To accomplish this, Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network, and copied the houses' private dormitory ID images. Harvard at that time did not have a student "facebook" (a directory with photos and basic information). Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.
Maps aren't any better. I've looked at real maps that have 'roads' marked that really aren't there or are summer only roads.
Microsoft Street and Trips tried to take me over Ophers Pass in June. When I got home, I looked it up and it "... does not present any technical difficulty for the careful driver, and can be driven in good weather conditions during late summer by high clearance two wheel drive vehicles." Which means not June and not in a 2wd Jetta. If I was looking at a map I wouldn't have known the difference. I got about 1/2 way up it and thought, this isn't right and turned around and too the long way.
Jonas Salk refused to patent the polio vaccine.. When he was asked in a televised interview who owned the patent to the vaccine, Salk replied: "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"
There is no 'greater good' research anymore, as long as people get their $. Capitalism: A Love Story is an interesting movie. Yes, it is Michael Moore, but if you go in expecting some slant it's entertaining to see how stuff has changed from "I'm not going to patent something that saved people from the Iron Lung" to "Screw you guys, I gotta get my patents".
Just like Florida and the rest of the south shutdown, Michigan goes "Meh." In the same way Italy and France probably shut down while Russia/Sweden/Norway probably go 'meh'.. Lumping all of Europe together is as bad as lumping all of the states together.
You issue it a base64 encoded URL where to get more instructions. Then the attacker can use any website, google pages, etc to issue the command.
I followed one of them once, they usually added layers of abstraction to make it 'difficult' for a human to follow. Meaning one tweet, lead to another tweet, lead to another tweet, lead to a URL, which had another URL which then contained something like "ping whitehouse.gov"
Sorry AT&T, people have been fed up with slow internet. Everyone that has wanted an iPhone but waited is going to jump on this. Everyone with an expiring AT&T contract that was fed-up with AT&T service is going to jump. People have already made up their minds, this little 'incentive' isn't going to help.
Fastest 3G network just like USB2 is faster than Firewire. When it really counts, it isn't.
(sadly) That was recently debated on campus of who was in the right. There are more than enough Americans willing to lay down their freedoms so that the Police aren't inconvenienced. Because "They're in the line of duty to protect us."
It's a very dry documentary* but very interesting. Very scary how it parallels what is happening now. Except it happened in a time when the papers stood up to the federal government.
*Compared to other stuff like: Food Inc, The Union, Super Size Me, Beer Wars, The Smartest Guys in the Room, etc
My cousin works in the industry, during the last down turn he would go to auctions and said that some milling machines were selling for scrap metal prices.

It has a ton of other add-ons like the EZ430-CHRONOS watch. After growing up watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit, who hasn't wanted to unlock their doors with Shave and a Haircut.

I'm from 90210.
My phone number is: 123-456-7890 OR the local police department's phone number.
My name if paying cash is John Doe.
Yes I've gotten some raised eye brows, but all I do then is tell them to prove me wrong.
Especially since it's more or less unplayable after an hour on my 2.4 gHz Dual Core MacBook Pro w/8GB of RAM.
In C, Obj-C, C++ or anything I couldn't imagine it being this slow.

Granted it came out before the iTunes store, but Apple was the company behind Rip. Mix. Burn. which greatly pissed off all the record companies.
Thieves have a good chance of stealing the identity of someone that is probably worse off than them.
Error Level Analysis has been up for quite some time. It's not a hard set "this was a 'shop", but it's pretty good.
And legalizing everything and handing out heroin to addicts actually reduces drug addicts.
Don't expect Americans to actually take notice. They'll start imprisoning file sharers along with the drug users and promise it'll reduce piracy.
No, this is how it started:

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

Reminds me of Fark's Infamous redesign with the classic You'll get over it line from the admins.
