ah but it is 7 million ipads in what 8 months? that is 10 million a year probably 25 million over 2 years.
The big problem is Apple tossed every one a giant curve ball with the ipad. Apple beat the crap out of everyone on price and a giant software stack. The Galaxy tab is a great example, no wifi version and the 3G version costs more than the ipad's 3G version for 30% less screen size. Your paying more for less with every competitor than it worth while now. The Wifi only version is 6 months behind the 3G version why?
There isn't a decent comparison for price, performance or even custom software stack. Apple has spent at least 4 years if not 5 refining IOS and spring board to work excellently with finger touch screen interfaces. Android hasn't, MSFT tossed all their stuff to copy Apple's ideas.
Personally while I love my mac's, and my iphone, I don't want an ipad. Well I want an ipad type device but the ipad is to heavy for what I want. The galaxy tab isn't bad (especially if it gets android 2.3) but there is no wifi only version.
Mutually assured Destruction only works if both sides actually care about living afterwards.
With patent pools it doesn't matter the companies can't die, they can sell everything off when things look bad, leave a shell corp to handle the litigation and shunt everything and everyone else to saftey under a different corporate umbrella. Or a patent troll that is nothing but a meeting room for lawyers really doesn't care if they lose that meeting room.
right now we are in the middle of the mobile patent wars. in the next 6-9 months we find out if android will stick around or be killed by Oracle. whether Apple can fight nokia and HTC and win, Whether Motorola or MSFT has more patents related mobile phones(remember Motorola just got stripped down to a meeting room and brand name)
If your betting on M.A.D. for patent protection your going to lose. As there is always someone crazy and scared enough to fire off something stupid.
partially, but every vendor is locking down their Android phones.
my problem is that verizon sucks in my town. AT&T and Verizon are like republicans and democrats. you really don't want either but you have to choose which of the lesser of two evils you can live with.
I would double check your settings then. as I use apple mail as the pop setup for gmail.
also not all imap folders get stored locally only the sections that you have accessed. many times i have seen the screen loading data for a given folder. that mans it isn't stored completely locally.
exactly, which is why I have both Pop and IMAP setup on my gmail account. my phone, most of my computers all use IMAP however one computer is setup to only use POP, and it downloads all saved/ archived mail every time it logs in from it's last login.
this way i have a snapshot of all but the most recent mails on one of my computers, that i can back up.
So when i say it it becomes a red Herring but when you say it it is the truth?
The USA had very little to do with the dividing up of the Ottoman empire. The British had their colonies there and the USA mostly stayed out of it. We fought some in Egypt and northern Africa, but those battles of WW II were fought by those other than the USA.
Most people in the Middle east including many Israelis have long forgotten why they continue to fight. My personal suggestion is to nuke Jerusalem and be done with it. One very high yield nuke or maybe three lower yields(hiroshima size). By the time the radiation cleared maybe just maybe we will have forgotten what all the fighting there is about. As a bonus. the millions of religious nutjobs that try to pray to stop said bombs will go out too. As long as an individual does it and no country it could work.
let me guess those same sources say the USA government also planned 911, and has anti gravity engines too.
When the USA participates with other governments they can be told no not to go ahead. Which is what happened to germany for WW II Germany kept pushing and no one did anything until after it was too late. Iraq kept pushing and no one would allow them to be stopped before they invaded kuwait.
If you understand the simple fact that no government can be anything but reactionary to events things make a lot more sense. Most of the information in diplomatic circles are gossip and lies. You can't prevent another 9/11 you can make it harder to do so, but you really can't prevent it. Like security on Windows no matter what you do if you want windows and internet access your going to eventually have a problem.
When the USA charges in to change a government people scream and shout and say the the USA is imperliaistic and being mean. When the USA doesn't invade they are looked at with disdain for not helping out those who need it.
You can't have it both ways, however no matter what the USA does it is wrong.
then why do so many android apps require internet access, and other information, even though they are just a simple game?, note pad, etc.
people are use to clicking on yes to continue because that's what they have to do to get it to work. 90% of the population also clicks through EULA's without reading the first sentence. I know I do. I can't be bothered to read it, it would take far longer to read and understand than the contents of the program are worth.
Now take that line of thought and apply it to religions. some are leaders, some are enforcers, and some following along like sheep. Jesus himself is a shepherd, among other things.
Some people like being told what to think, what to say, how to act. It makes them feel happy inside, others don't.
ah but he isn't getting that for being president he is getting that because he can't keep his mouth shut.
just look at the stupid amount of money being paid to Bill Mahar, Letterman, or any other top media person. They draw in 50-100 thousand per speaking engagement. with salaries in the 10's of millions of dollars.
stupid people pay rich people to talk to them about how to make more money.
Palin Zealots aren't allowed to ride on dinosaurs as dinosaurs where put there by god to test man's ability to deceive itself into believe the earth is only 6000 years old and one of the first ones born lived to be 900 of those years.
They are all politicians. They all play the same stupid game. The real question is why would anyone want to be president. you get all the blame none of the glory, and if someone 20 layers of management under you screws up you still get blamed.
Being president is worthless. Everyone knows the only winning move is to not to play.
You need to check out major cities in the USA where it is impossible to get DSL even though you live half a mile from the telephone company switching stations. Why is it? Because all the major carriers aren't updating the 1960's copper line bundles and those lines are wearing out and breaking.
It is funny we know when two of our branches will lose POTS phone service with 95% accuracy. It is raining out and the lines are full of water. POTS last mile connections are so old and the phone company wont upgrade the lines, that POTS service has been slowly collapsing for the last 15 years. It is why VOIP is taking off to begin with. it quality is just as bad as POTS and it has more options.
By major I mean Cities with 250,000 people or more, right in the heart of thousands of people the phone company won't upgrade lines.
Heck at work we the phone company had cut our fax and security system lines, simply because we were the last group on that bundle and they were depowering the entire thing.
That's health care in America, if your not earning 50,000 dollars or more a year your not worth saving in fact it is not worth it to even give you any coverage, which is why 50 million America's have less health care options that cable tv options.
You are still limiting your self to the highlights. you have leave no leeway for something called being human. People make mistakes. a government of the people will make mistakes. Why do you cover it up, that is easy. Morale. saying you are going shooting innocents shoots morale too. demoralized soliders don't fight as well, demoralized citizens force the military to do stupid things.
Going into iraq for the wrong reasons was bad. being lied to about WMD's was bad. Staying in Iraq to help clean up the mess you and I have made is the moral and right thing to do. Just because you no longer want to fight doesn't mean the fighting is done. Now it is time to clean up and pick up the pieces. Not shoehorn some random puppet government into place and leave the place a mess. We never should have gone into either afgahnistan or Iraq. However since we are there and we can't change has happened we can only deal with the present and build from that mess.
You are very much a utopia dreamer. 150 million people killed by the governmnt however in that time those governments provided enough stability to go from 2 billion to 7 billion people or less than 2% of the population. More people than that have died in auto accidents in the same time frame.
Expect it will have an effect on singing in kindergartens as childern that young won't know the words, so the words have to be spelled out for the child.
it is really hard to teach simply by talking about a given subject.
Because if you watch the entire video and not just the highlights, it shows US troops not shooting civilians whenever they could. One group got caught in a cross fire because the taliban like other terrorists are using human shields.
Also you keep trying to refer to both the Government and the Military as individuals please stop. They are made of up of thousands of individual leaders. So unless you ask a question correctly to the correct parties you will always get the no answer reply. This is true of every large organization. Of course if you were smart you would already understand that concept and what it really means.
Think Dilbert. what workers deliver is not always what managers really wanted. Mangers do not know the details of programmers every line of code. Why would the Military, or Government know such details as well? The higher up you go the summaries, of summaries of summaries you actually get. Details become obscured without any corruption, or mistrust needing to have taken place.
twice the price of a netbook? where? Most netbooks are $300-400 the ipad is only about 25% greater.
and yes no one can compete on price. Acer stated right after the ipad pricing was annouced that they were expecting it to be sold around $899-$999. When Apple said $499 the entire industry cried.
That is why it has been a year and there is literally only one decent competitor on the market(Galaxy tab), and that is selling for more than the ipad even though it is smaller.(wifi only version is expected to be at $599.
exceot I cant put my own software, or files onto a kindle without going through amazon's services. If amazon finds I have something they deem illegal they will remotely delete it for me.
If BN would open the nook color into a full tablet that is what i am looking for. Wifi only(I don't need yet another data plan, Kindle's sprint service in my area sucks) 7" android tablet, with some configuration.
He isn't on Interpols most wanted list. he never was. Get your facts straight. He was added to the same list that every other person on interpol's list of wanted persons go on to.
The InterPol Red Notice list currently contains 293 names with 160 of them having variations of Sex Crimes. The Red List is for deportation of people to a given country.
Testimony in a ongoing legal proceeding against a private individual is a completely different ballgame to historical record of Government dealings. I would agree with that if wikileaks hadn't published information from ongoing court cases before. Also the information the Guardian posted wasn't restricted it is available to everyone with access to the swedish court system. On top of that those documents show Julain has lied to the media about his involvement with the woman in question. That is right Julian is lying to you about his involvement's. Why would he lie to the media if he was innocent?
He really is only guilty of being a womanizer who lies to women to sleep with them. Not that uncommon. He simply got caught this time and by doing it in a country with extremely woman biased rape laws is going to get hurt by it.
The real lesson get written permission before sleeping with a woman in sweden.
If your wanted for rape and they know your location the same thing would happen to you or me. Here is the trick they Knew his location. he can't stop talking to the media so it was simple to actually find him. If they know of your location it is easier to find you.
And he isn't being railroaded by the USA yet. If the USA tries to charge him with espionage then he will be railroaded.
My personal favorite part was when the guardian published (leaked) the police reports from the ladies on Julian, and Julian and his lawyers cried foul as leaking private information about a private case like that is wrong. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/17/julian-assange-sweden
Also note that Julain slept with both of these women before the USA diplomatic cable release. If it was a USA setup they set it up before he released the information. Are you now saying it was a premeditated railroading?

talk about a wave of conservative government spending in the future.
yea for Irony RH hosted the files on IIS, to stress test the competition.
