Of course that is one of the many reasons why apple is so anal about what apps can be do and which api's they can use.
if i put on the tinfoil I would bet that apple themselves engineered the virus to spread through only jail broken phones to prove just how dangerous jail breaking is.
is a worker can sue their employer for forcing them to work on hazardous materials. smoke in all of it's forms isn't good for your lungs. Would you work on a computer that a tobacco chewer has been spitting in? Where is the line drawn? How do we know the imac in question wasn't used as an ash tray and that's why it failed? I have watched careless smokers. they dump ash and their butts everywhere.
While I find the absolute idea preposterous (just send it to me I don't care about smokers stupid personal choices), legally any company is put into a damned if you do and damned if you don't position.
All that said just fix the friggin computer. maybe this will point out the flaws in the system. though no one will ever fix them.
if china won't let you into the country how can you bring them freedom? China doesn't need google google needs china. same goes fot MSFT, and heck all of the USA. China only needs our money to support themselves, however without their cheap products the american economy tanks.
4 bit data but the human brain parallels 4 bits 32 times. In reality we don't fully understand how the brain works for storage, or even things like visual processing. Something like facial recognition is easy for he puny human brain but no computer has yet to be able to do so reliably.
So you want to make a radar resitant stealth supersonic high heat coating that burns away cleanly.
Yes I said that right. Supersonic speeds produce friction which make heat. So by design you have a stealth coating that ablates when ever you travel fast.
Something tells me you haven't seen all the angles yet.
I am not sure why this is a troll other than the obama comment. I know several dozen 50-60 year olds who know they need glasses that reading glasses don't cut it anymore and refuse to go to an eye doctor for proper glasses. They can barely drive, can't read signs, yet they refuse to go to the eye doctor as they might actually have to wear glasses.
fear of being uncool, is deeply ingrained in them.
I saw this last week, and I am trying to figure out why. It destroys all usablity of the device. Can you imagine to dial 911 and have an AD block it. Or watching a video and having it interupted by ads that you have to click through
so I am scratching head as to why apple patented this. If they ever used it they would lose whatcustomers they have.
I have looked up roaming profiles, they don't work right and a large percentage of software won't work with them. a large percentage of (third party)apps don't allow multiple instances of themselves to be run by different users.
while not specifically all MSFT fault it is, because MSFT designed the system for single users, and then let third party developers do whatever they want. Oh and the corporate deployments store a login and one folder usually my documents. not the entire user folder. not all their settings. Somethings simple like background picture, outlook settings, IE settings, even taskbar colors are stored only locally. meanign I get a different setup depending on which manchine has my profile. Also each machine with your profile needs to be setup ahead of time to allow you to login. I can't just get up and walk over to another work station and login and have everything at hand. the admins have to login and allow you to have your profile on the specific machine. It is far from easy and far from trivial. As this is the third company I worked for that have had these limitations.
itunes isn't half bad software, however I think it has gotten too bloated. I really wish winamp 2 was still around. I am looking for a decent "OS X" media player that lets me keep my itunes library. I need one with an interface suitable for touch screen controls. I keep itunes on a mimo USB monitor. it works great, I also like using it for flash videos. however full screen multi monitor support in both itunes, and flash suck(doesn't matter OS windows does the crap too)
no a father can put out a child on fire, by picking up the child carrying them to the nearest water source and dropping them in. After all fatehrs are immune to fire, it is only withes that aren't.
I could do that with *nix in 1996. and the setup was several years old at that point. What you describe is nothing special in fact it should be standard but the corporate world had to what for MSFT's closed buggy versions. and had to wait for the "desktop" to be replaced once again with mainframes with the horsepower to drive them.
MSFT reinventing unix poorly for 20 plus years. I am still waiting for proper multi user and multi monitor support( the hardware and drivers for multi monitors are good, the apps suck hard and yes OSX isn't any better) why do only some apps store information in the user data folders, while others store it locked in a registry that is machine specific. and i am talking about MSFT own apps not third party?
keep holding your breath. That shell might and only might die when steve jobs leave the company. however apple is setting themselves up for a company without steve jobs.
The cool shell though is the fact they innovate the combined hardware/software, not just one piece of the pie, but making whole new pies. It has been shown time and time again MSFT only makes products good enough to beat the competition through brute force. Since just about everyone else gets their software from MSFT they start at a disadvantage. The ipod caught every other player off guard because it was simple to use. the iphone caught every other phone off guard because it was simple to use.
You can literally hand any one an iphone and they can figure out how to make calls with it and surf the web without being told how. Maybe one day other companies will figure out that the interface matters more than the hardware specs. that people with big fingers can't push tiny little keyboard buttons to enter phone numbers with. That as you age you lose the dexterity of a 15 year old. I have watched business people use the blackberries, and all they do is struggle with it. I hand them my iphone and they find they can do the things they just were easily, not trying to use a scroll ball half the size of the tip of their pinky.
when moving hundreds of billions of dollars a quarter making 1% profit isn't all that impressive.
Sort of like the exxon mobil of last year. when they did set a new record of profits, something like $9 billion. However they did it by earning $140 billion in sales. Something like 8% profit. most companies need 30% to survive. Dell is struggling. They do $14 billion in sales but only have a profit of $1.5 billion. That's 10% 10% barely covers overhead, and employee salaries.
dollar amount of profit is useless unless you know how much money was spent to earn it legally or not. Saying I earned $50,000 last year doesn't factor in the fact that I spent $55,000 on things.
you forgot all contacts entered into this phone are open to our marketing department. all photos taken can be used by the carrier for advertisements. all calls made will be recored to insure "quality" control
Palm is breaking all USB devices to make their one work. Mean while the motorola droid already has a third party app to give them full access with out breaking anything.
Msft stopped supporting non intel processors for 6 years until the xbox 360 came out. And if you mod that you can't access xbox live anymore. Also msft has never supported sparc therefore they are evil.
Apple provides support and software for a limited number of devices. They build itso thatthe hardware is less likely to crash. If you don't like it then don't use it. Any of it. You can't pickand choose which parts you want as it only works as one piece.
what if your not using windows. what about using it from multiple computers.
Mine is on a USB drive in an encrypted drive image, which stores the application and data files which which themselves are encrypted. my current problem is that it is OSX specific. I would love a way to be able to mount that drive on windows and Linux too.
Of course such things don't work well unless you use a java app, which may or may not run depending if java is installed or not.
Molten sodium is used to boil water. Wind and water and internal combustion spin generators other ways. Only photovoltaic is a direct electrical source.

Apple gets 25-30% on it's computers.
think about it. apple sells less computers but makes more money than dell.
which company is doing things right as a business and which one is working hard for scraps?

Sushi is raw fish with this everything gets cooked even you.
I don't disagree with any of that. the parent as trying to point out sources of power that don't require boiling water.
if we could get electricity directly from fission or fusion it would be awesome but hey one step at a time.
Molten sodium is used to boil water. Wind and water and internal combustion spin generators other ways. Only photovoltaic is a direct electrical source.
