The insane marketing view of the corporate race to the bottom. Corporations where the executives are not legally and criminally liable for all acts of that corporations are fabrications of the sociopathicaly insane and a current reality. No wonder modern corporate public relations and marketing agencies are will known for their drug use, that could be the only excuse for the continual stream of mendacities that flows from them. I only hope that should you suffer a severe illness that your relatives put the cure out to open tender and give the responsibility for curing you to the lowest fly by night unregulated corporate bidder, let's see how that works out for you;DDD.
This involves government for the most obvious reason of all. Private industry is always focused on profits even to the insane level of profits on economic and environmental collapse. When it comes to establishing a government authority the focus is on savings, the money saved by avoiding conomic and environmental collapse.
Government authorities also help to avoid copyrights and patents from blocking the universal adoption of highly beneficial technologies.
Privatisation is proving to be nothing but a bottomless pit of lobbyist corrupted contracts, billions lost in blatant kickbacks for campaign contributions.
Which of course points to the reason Dell is dropping Android tablets, it is finding it difficult to compete directly against the ODMs, Other Device Manufacturers, the companies who actually make computers. Apple is in the same sinking boat, it is inevitable that the ODMs will win, when it all becomes about reaching price/hardware performance points.
However unlike motor vehicles, the extreme pollution is not located within the city and for more stringent pollution controls are fitted to the energy generating medium.
It is to be expected, once sufficient momentum is gained by electric vehicles, pollution generating vehicles will simply be banned.
Hey, I've got, one difference and Samsung is safe, how about the bloody badge, woo hoo. Basically the initial design is not unique hence not patentable it is basic and elemental. Thin, logical customer requirement, rounded corners logical engineering requirement, saves cost and reduces damage whilst maintaining appearance over the long term, colour weight Apple's preferred colours are green or white (perhaps they are seeking to patent the whole colour spectrum).
Corporations answer to their investors, that's a laugh. The modern corporation is an illusion run by psychopaths to confuse and decieve their investors. The number one goal of corporations today, is to guide as much of the company income towards company executive pockets and to maintain this for as long as possible until the company explodes under the weight of impossible debt.
The reality is failed offshoring is driven by nothing but pure greed. Some executive will claim the project costs 'x' based up a salary of 'y' but by offshoring for a salary of 1/5'y' they will save money and the executive deserves 10% of that saving as a bonus, of course when it fails the executive has already received their bonus and has launched a bunch of other half-arsed schemes since then.
As for the off-shorers they are coding for a price and they will contently code what ever crap they have been told to code no matter how piss-poor the results.
Funny, I expect modern phone, insurance, mortgage and any other corporate contract to be a complex as possible in order to make it next to impossible to compare one contract to another, to ensure plenty of contract wiggle space for them and generally allow them to be first order dick's baring controls forced upon them by government consumer organisations.
The plan does not come with a free phone. The plan comes with a phone that you make payments on built into the connection payments contract. After you phone is stolen you must continue to make payments and it is up to you to organise a replacement phone. http://help.telstra.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17260. If you choose to buy a second hand replacement phone then you should go here http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset to make sure it is not stolen. Of course you can pay extra, for premium care ie handset insurance policy and they will replace a stolen phone.
Note that is an internationally registered numbered so phones are bricked in all countries that co-operate.
Have you dropped it yet? Do you use it on the move? Do you miss the lack of a DVD drive or HDisk in the dock able keyboard. If your use is mainly stationary would not sya a 12 icnh or 13.3 inch screen be better?
Perfect is still a long way off in tablet/smartbooks.
Greed, dude, it knows no limits. Fill a room full of psychopaths and narcissists and you will know a room just absolutely chock a block full of lies and you can look into the eyes of any of them and you will not see the slightest sign of deceit, that requires a conscience.
It's called primping up for the great big "Goldman Sachs" controlled sale. The scumbag running dog of the financial world is directly involved in the great sale to the gullible public and of course the corrupt executives who control pension funds to, of Facebook. So it ain't a pyramid scheme yet but it soon will be. How come the company hasn't been shut down and all of it's executives thrown in jail.
Do you have any idea about the fight going on between the FCC and the carriers. The huge battle over 'network neutrality'. When it comes to carriers they don't need to put anything on you phone, your phone is a brick until it communicates with their towers and their network. They can track your movements, intercept all your calls and, monitor all your data access.
When it comes to additional software on your phone, they only people who need to do that are the phone manufacturers and other companies. Apple tracks you and via the walled garden monitors everything you do and of course protects their walled garden and the profits for their privacy invasiveness by blocking everyone else from gaining that access "FOR FREE".
In a world of craptastic approve anything US patents. Where the idea is to gain more revenue for the patents office and for US lawyers. I'd bet that lobbyists for US lawyers are sneaking around between those politicians who have connections to the patents office to ensure influence on the more craptastic the patent is, the more it should be approved. Craptastic patents guarantee civil court actions. so Apple's Craptastic patent, fixed it for you.
Build for summer, regret the winters. Cool summer temperatures inevitably mean snow in winter and travel is difficult in snow. Cheap cooling, park yourself near the coast in temperate climes and use heat exchangers to achieve your cooler temperatures. Also avoid, typhoon or hurricane prone zones, tornadoes, seismic instability and of course flooding. Power should also be drawn from more than one grid, close access to a university is also desirable (user testing, direct training), a substantive employment base to avoid having to bring in all staff and, access to main thorough fairs for better transport options is also desirable.
Likely what went on with that choice was some stupidly corrupt pay no taxes deal, something that should be put a stop to a federal, state and county level. What ever happened to all being treated equally, screw the scum sucking corporate tax cheats.
Face it, considering the period, their employment, the company they worked for, how well known slashdot was at that time in tech circles, all indications are that they knowingly lied. In referencing slashdot and making flash claims to substantiate their patent claim they now have to prove they did not knowingly lie, a pretty tough effort considering the time and cost to make a patent claim. Your little of the cuff idea, of here pass me a napkin so I and jot down some notes and lend me a dollar so I can file a patent is silly. They made real effort, they conducted research, they consulted lawyers and the company that employed them invested considerable income and many people within that company reviewed that patent.
Technically the whole reasoning behind a professional employee is they are paid to get a job done, how long that takes is up to them. So whether they work 30 hours or 60 hours is down to their productivity levels and time management. So the argument is really about the nature of the work and whether it is job based or time based.
Obviously anything to do with support, network support or computer is time based, being there to provide support, as such regardless of wage is subject to overtime. Project based is more complex as the amount of coding required to be done is subject to the nature of the project, basically as such is still dependent upon the amount of time the coder will spend coding and as such subject to overtime.
Basically the only professional role in computers in management where a person simply establishes policy, is involved in hiring and firing and randomly monitors other tasks and projects to ensure they are on goal. If the person manages that in 20 hours fine, if it takes them 80 hours then likely they are failing in some one, either way no overtime.
I think you fail to see the drives behind open source software. Its beautiful development nature, like an infinite estuary where many diverse beings live upon it's banks and in it's waters, where forks continually develop, only to merge again downstream, as driven by the wishes of the majority or by the shear effort of a minority.
Firefox will go where it needs to go to satisfy the drives of it's contributors, whether fiscal or code or just commentary. If features in Chrome become very popular it is only logical they find their way into Firefox. If features left out of Chrome but still found to be very desirable in Firefox, it is only logical they find their way into Chrome. It is the way of things in Free Open Source Software.
Yes randomly looking a billions of web pages, they came across the name Slashdot, at that time a web site uniformly well known in technical circles for the slashdot affect (narrow band web site died horribly). Who modded comments so readers could view +1 comments only allowing a whole range of 0 and -1 comments to disappear (new users or bad karma). After all the mentioned a whole range of web sites not just 2, oh wait.
In other words keep sales up while insider traders and Apple executives dump the Apple stocks and aren't those Apple insiders busy selling shares http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=aapl.
Of course don't forget those mega corporate executive bonuses, for each month they can keep the prices up, the bigger the their bonus and damn the long term consequence, like all those pension funds that are going get stuck with Apple stuck as a result of under the table off shore, keep buying that stock commissions.
Want to know why people with jobs kill themselves in China, look at this video http://www.wimp.com/packingcards/. Machines were doing this job is western countries for decades but human labour is cheaper than a machine in China.
Want to compete, than shut the door on inflated corporate profits and bring the jobs back home, Want trade, then fine countries providing equal quality of life for their citizens can trade amongst themselves.
You forgot advertising. Paying some jock strap it's not lying it's acting douche, to say how great the piece of crap shoes are and yes, paying that ass hat often costs more than the shows cost to manufacture. Greed all round, it's what is sending the country broke.
Well no. The problem is Google flat out lied on the patent application. Mod points are not given to every user. Currently either 5 or 15 mod points are handed out to users based upon a range of selection values. Amongst those values, is validity of past modding history, comment mod scores, frequency of visits et al.
So Hillis; W. Daniel (Encino, CA), Ferren; Bran (Beverly Hills, CA) are big fat fucking liars. They obviously know of slashdot ie. "The Slashdot Web site (www.slashdot.org) allows users to "mod" comments" as taken from the patent itself and intentionally lied to order to gain the patent which in fact as described is exactly the slashdot modding system.
On Slashdot not all users get to mod comments and they must know this as they have obviously visited slashdot. Basically these two lying dickwads, so the slashdot modding system, checked if it was patented, found it was not, so these two using the new corporate shithead law of who patents first wins, patented it.
More accurate headline "Right Wing UK Government Plans to Corporatise The Internet". No longer will individuals have free reign to communicate any way they wish. The Right Wing UK Government, will hand over the internet to corporations. Corporate Mass Media, will once be given the reigns over communication, to once again control who can communicate with whom, how many they can communicate with and what they can say.
The military industrial complex will be given the power, to criminalise discontent, to imprison anti-bank radicals and to name any hostile communications as terrorism with subsequent violent response.
The Right Wing UK Government taking the people out of the internet and putting Multi-National Corporations back in charge.
Here's betting their delusional pro-business 'er' pro corporate psychopath internet, self destructs as a pro ring propaganda network, before they get to lose the next election.
It costs taxes not spent on the military industrial complex to build and maintain infrastructure, something 'er' liberals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal (WTF) are quite happy to do.
The idea that you can charge taxes has been totally denigrated by the psychopathic rich and greedy entitlement mind set (the actual reality).
The only people with entitlement issues are the rich and greedy. Those ass hats think they entitled to rewrite laws so they will own everything and turn the rest of us into slaves they can exploit. So most certainly a false sense of entitlement needs to be extinguished but it's at the other end, it's the rich corrupt psychopathic sense of entitlement that needs to end.
