Yeah well if things get so bad that we cannot think freely...i have a long arm safe with over 100 assault rifles and over 250,000 rounds of ammmo.....we can start at my place and take back America.
You laugh...but 200 years ago a lot more poorly armed Americans did just that against the worlds strongest military....hell a band of arabs handed Russia its ass, just like the VC did to the Americans. Never underestimate the power of people willing to die for their beliefs. NEVER./i do not promote revolution but should the need arise...i will be ready...will you?
Why do people keep mis-stating the facts....
The SDK from Apple default is no-background running a simple flag set allows you too....
If your gonna spew hate, at least get your facts straight...
Oh wait this is/.
I have no problem with copyrighted music. None at all....but music falls under right of first sale and also Fair use. Neither of these are applicable to this situation...SO WTF IS YOUR POINT....(other than you do not understand the law!)....
I mean seriously when i buy a CD and make a copy for use in MY CAR or on my MP3 player and put the original away that is FAIR USE!
This is not.
Just like if i sell the original CD i should remove any copys from my collection and DO...(i dont sell CD's so thats easy once i buy it i always retain the original)
So it is not blatant hypocrisy as you so incorrectly state. I have no issue at all that the songs are copyrighted...thats why i dont steal my music.
You could use me FEDEXING you a CLUE.
Regardless the IOC are douchebags...and the more than 1 million people forced from their homes for this is absolutely unforgivable.
If you dont know the IOC is EXTREMELY CORRUPT ORGANIZATION.
SCREW THE GAMES they are not what they were once intended.
Oh and with China watching over the dopping is like letting the french oversea it for their little bike race.....they are a bunch of douches all of them.
Hey asshole...nobody cares WTF you did....NOBODY>
The author here is clearly having his work ripped off and deserves compensation.
You on the other hand dont deserve anything but a good ass kicking you stupid fuck.
OH and unless you Bill fucking Gates you havent done shit...you little punk kid....in 15-20 years you will still be working at McDonalds...that does not count as feeding millions.
FUCKTARD
Thank you for being the voice of reason.
It is stupid to assume that just because the government made it that anybody can use it.
Especially when the particular arm has BOMBERS!!!!
My God you people are IDIOTS. Go watch the damn video.
They show FULL EXCHANGE INTEGRATION!!!!
Including Push Mail, Push Calender, Push Contacts.
WTF...it amazes me how smart some of you sound here but you cannot even get your facts straight. You cannot be bothered to open your eyes and see what we are even discussing.
And you wonder why Apple continues to make BILLIONS of dollars and yet you still live in your mothers basement.
hey take your time adopting. Your competitors wont...and when they are more efficient and get better spread of information throughout the staff, you can put on your resume....i was a good sales/tech guy until i quit staying current with technology and slipped behind the curve with my old busted blackberry.
It is those who lack vision that cannot see the world is changing around them.
As for those who say business will not adopt this...yeah cause Disney, Nike, and people like Bosch are not business's right.
You sir, are sticking your head in the sand....also i think people miss the point...code will run on the iphone exactly like it does on their desktops and portables. MS and NO ONE else can say this.
I do quite a few asia trips from the usa a year (read 10+ hours).
Every seat im in has a 110 plug for power so no worries about battery life.
I think some people are full of it complaining about battery life on overseas flights. Simply put in an economy seat your not going to get 10 hours of work done. Plain and simple. It is physically demanding to sit in those tiny seats that long.
All business and 1st class seats have their own power plugs...and if your flight doesnt you need to find another airline.
This crap drives me insane...i was raised in Catholic schools....Irish Penguin Nuns infact!
They taught the bible and the creation of the earth....then calmly added this is a verbal story handed down and simplified over the years to appear in the bible as we see it today.
They taught the fact is we EVOLVED.....they taught evolution. Because it was based in fact!!!
They didnt seem to have a issue with the fact that GOD may not have created the earth as ancient man might have once told in a mythical tale....instead they pointed out that someone created the universe and everything in it....his name is GOD!
I try run my business as morally as i can.
Karma is a big wheel, it turns slowly, but it does turn.
I sleep very well at night.
In the end im a little guy...only employing a little over 1000 people. But that 1000+ happier families who work for somebody who gives a damn about them and their lively hoods. Not perfect, but im not evil profit only corporations and believe there are a lot more out there than you know...maybe all small guys like me or smaller but they are out there.....its the mega corps that generally seem to be the problem.....hmmmmm
You've nailed it pretty good. The other major problem with this type of transducer is that given the "cone" is a flat surface when driven very hard at all it will produce modes that will not be conducive to good audio.
There is no solution to this other than to dampen each mode out of each surface. This is not practical in a real world sense for most parts.
It can be used at moderate levels but for loud powerful accurate full range sound (no its not bose wave radio) go with a traditional set of speakers.
As for the tech its been out for a long time. Actually its not even that new an idea, but they have better DSP's then before and they have a lot better marketing.
This is a troll above.
Truth is even in regular for profit business if a partner company did this to my group of companies i would kick them to the curb in a split second.
It is not about profits this is about being outright dishonest.
You do not do business with dishonest companies.....plain and simple. Unless you enjoy getting screwed over.
Why waste your time and efforts working with a dishonest partner?
I know i do not and have survived as a US maker of Audio products (OEM level) for more than 40 years. Never underestimate the power of being honest and keeping your word....it will allow you to survive long after all the other bigger players have either went bankrupt or sold to off shore companies because they are no longer viable to operate here. I have seen and purchased many of those whom thought they were so smart and keen (and dishonest) yet my company is still in the USA and still making jobs and growing....and making a nice profit....why....becuase when a customer partners with me....they know they will not be screwed over. 40+years and counting....:)
I wish Negroponte the best , he should have known that the likes of MS and intel cannot be trusted they are NOT honorable companies. Yes they have made huge profits....but i sleep very well at night and customers i have had for 30+ years call me more than supplier, many consider me close personal friend.
Those who say business is only about profits....need to take an ethics course or 10 and also need to realize it is not just about profits. Many times ive made the choice that was less profitable or not profitable but was the RIGHT thing to do.
What will you do when pressed by such a situation? Will you choose profit or what is right? The answer will determine if you really are an enlightened individual or just a blood sucker. Thats the difference.
Its a news headline site....with the twist that you must have a funny new headline for the linked news article.
This is a Practical Joke as many things they do are.
Try reading it sometime...and remember not to take life too seriously...nobodies getting out alive anyways.:)
WEll for starters Adobe isnt a big enough company to buy Apple and no way in hell are they big enough to buy MS.
So lets see they could buy a smaller OS...but then they would end up spending the huge money and time it takes to make a really high quality general purpose OS. Which Apple already has done.
So again....it makes sense to me why Apple might buy Adobe (they have the means too)...but i dont think it is likely at all.
You bring out some good points but you botched one...
Itunes allows you to LEGALLY burn your purchased music (drm or no drm) directly to CD!!! Thus removing all DRM LEGALLY!!!
So there....Itunes wins because they expressly give you this feature...it is not hidden or hacked...it is in fact clearly labeled and its intent is quite clear. Its your music...just becuase you downloaded as AAC or MP3 its still yours....moving formats to them is not an issue.
They let you do it to the most universal format around the CD.
So your whole itunes only lets your play it on certain # of devices is not True.....As easily pointed out.
Oh and civil disobedience is exactly how laws get changed in this country. (I offer you the civil rights movement and the bootlegging movement both of which greatly changed the laws in the USA....History it is your friend...but only if you learn it!)
Im plenty computer Savy but dont feel it is morally right to STEAL somebodies work. I dont feel right about paying that BASTAGES that are the RIAA.
Apple has made it easy and it works great....thats why they have the lions share of online music sales.
In fact Apple has made buying music for thier phones absolutely EASY!!! It even reminds me if ive already bought it on itunes and try to rebuy it on the phone...(which there is no need to do!!!) I can even re-download what i buy on the phone via itunes to my mac/pc running itunes.
Oh and Apple already had direct to mobile phone sewn up. How long do you think before they could offer Nokia and Sony/ericsson and Motorola and blackberrys the ability to run an itunes module? They could do it now. They wont...and i understand why...why help your competitors sell phones against your own phones.
Anyways...Apple gets it....thats why they control more than 75% of the online/portable music business.
Um they do. But if you decide to install malicious software on your system as the owner what can we do? What can anybody do?
Seriously this is not a virus it is a human (id10T) user weakness...seen on ALL systems regardless of OS.
But then again i read about Unsanity and what Application Switcher was doing. Simply put if you read what the makers say about their own software you wouldnt run it during an upgrade.
That is all.
Um no that is where you are wrong. It is not the max speed it is the fact that in America people lack the skill and training to drive at elevated speeds. Having spent time on the Autobahn they do know how to drive in Germany. Also the accident rates on the Autobahn are considerably lower than on the US Highway system even though we have more room and fewer cars per mile (or Kilometer - Thanks Discovery Channel!)
So once again lets cover this. Americans are really bad about not paying attention while driving.
So please dont post what you do not know about.
And please dont bother responding from your iphone or treo or blackberry while driving down the highway.
No actually the way the cables work is exactly the same digital or analog.
Come on people....the cable doesnt care what its carrying format wise Analog or Digital.
At the speaker itself the signal is ANALOG!!!
As for what will make the biggest difference in sound...try its the SPEAKER!!!
At about 5% efficiency speakers are the WORST part of the whole thing.
Working out 0.000005% more clean from your wires will mean nothing when it hits the speaker and is met with the highest levels of distortion in the entire system.
I should know i own/operate a second generation speaker company.
Expensive cables like this are complete and UTTER CRAP!
Lamp cord for the win!!
Hello people...the phones do not brick if you do not accept the update...which it ASKS to install.
WTF is wrong with you people....
The device is not locked by Apple without YOUR CONSENT.
So dont update the firmware.
Its not like APPLE didnt WARN the world that the new update would most likely brick your phone.
Oh and before you idiots start jumping up and down...they hackers have already figured out how to unbrick it and how to make it work.
Stupid knee jerk idiots here.
Oh and sue apple good luck with that.
the author of the original article request...is an A-HAT tool!
No i dont give a rats arse about my Karma....the truth is the truth...and the article writer is a stupid self centered idiot!
