The problem with search is people are attempt to do very different searches all with the same search application. Basically they are expecting the application to guess the nature of the search, whether it be general information, business location, product, local, regional or global. Want good search results you have to be really skilled at searching, surely everyone has not missed the typical web cartoon of the skilled user watching a noob every so painfully slowly going through a web search spending half an hour over what should have taken a few minutes.
Reality is to keep search search simple you have to make it slightly more complex. Which means different types of search apps for different styles of searches ie directly searching wikepedia for general information or IMDB for movie and TV program info etc. Either that or shifting to complex phrase based searching, where you type in a complete question which is parsed into more accurately defining your search, take of course means training users into typing much more hard on a phone. Specialised search apps seem much more realistic, so you hit the search button and then choose from a logical subset of search types and or localities before entering your query.
Well that is no problem with Android as you can actually choose your hardware. Monitor the web checks better reviews and scan the forums and you will soon learn which hardware you can choose with Android. Of course when a iOS phone is bugger up with a bad antennae, suck it up because you have no choice.
The Apple wank marketdroids are out in force on this one, next they will be blaming M$ for every computer that has a hardware failure with Windows installed regardless of brand of components. Apple marketing is losing all credibility and for them, that is the equivalent of self destruction, perhaps it is all a creative suicidal impulse. Those creative artsy types can become pretty self destructive and working in a world of PR=B$ marketing is bound to be not very mentally stabilising.
Still even counting all high performance graphics cards those number aren't really the big numbers. Keeping focus on design rather than marketing AMD especially after buying ATI, might be focusing on a CPU with a high powered embedded GPU, with separate memory caching but combined main memory usage. The demand is pent up and growing for high powered portable graphics based devices. Tablets, netbooks, notebooks even more efficient smaller desktops. That's where the big numbers are. The first to crack a really good combined GPU/CPU will be on a winner for quite a few years and likely will pick up the lions share of the market.
Your not thinking very scientifically, photons can only affect the molecules it strikes and it has not affect beyond that. The molecule it strikes, transfers the energy to other molecules either as new photons or direct energy transfer.
It is not human nature, that is a lie, it is the nature of psychopaths and narcissists. Those who by principles of lying, cheating and stealing are running the system. Never put to the rest of humanity, the actions of a genetically damaged minority. A destructive minority who thrive in the chaos and degradation they create. Eliminate them and there is no doubt you will eliminate most of humanities problems, no war, no corruption of democracy and a humane human society will be the result. The psychopaths those the cause the greatest problems should of course be the priority.
Consider how much energy there is trapped in normal atoms just waiting for a trigger to release it, somehow a high short term concentration of photons doesn't seem all that much to worry about. More interesting might be to build up a really, really high concentration of electrons in a super conducting toroid, especially as that build up would produce measurable affects at a distance. A solid electron field.
That would have to either the funniest or most psychopathic response I have ever had. It's like government bailouts have never happened (banks, savings and loans, car manufacturers) or "golden parachute" is an unknown term or "dotbomb" never heard of it. It is becoming pretty apparent psychopathic corporate executives are only interested in creating an illusion of how well the companies they are running are doing, sucking a huge salary out of investors, creating a complete insane you are fired package for themselves, staying out of jail, taking credit for everything that happens and blaming everyone else for problems especially the government even though they own the government to ensure deregulation and no prosecution. Reality is if corporate executives where legally liable for the actions of the corporations they were running, they majority would be heading of to jail and quite a substantial portion would be looking at worse where the death penalty is legal (exploding oil rigs and coal mines ring a bell or pharmaceuticals with lethal side affects wrongly but profitably prescribed, how about contaminated foods as a result of inspection and control short cuts).
The question is how much are they worth. Are they worth 1,000 times the cost of the labour actually doing the work and earning the profits, keeping in mind management is a overhead not a profit centre and 1,000 additional worker could be earning a profit. It is easy to see how corporate executive remuneration has been corrupted via collusion and multiple appearances of the same psychopathic executives faces on the boards of multiple companies.
Dolt, everyone around the world is seeing exactly what is going on. The US government has been corrupted by special interests distorting it's democratic processes via campaign contributions, bribes and extortion. One the the leaders in this process of corruption is Israel, who is basically getting the US government to play stupid, while a handful of Israeli's steal Palestinian land and on sell or rent it to upon a racist religion based immigrants. One idiot lie replaces other now "it's the whole world hates the US because it is jealous", now that one is really pathetic, whilst the corruption of the US democratic process continues.
Exactly that. The rest of the world will start to see the US as a rogue state. Regardless of the what the rest of the world thinks or how they vote in global democratic institutions, the US will ignore it and do what ever lobbyists pay it to do in campaign contributions. This has nothing to do with Palestine, this has everything to do with Israel corruptly being able to control the actions of the US government via campaign contributions and offshore tax haven payments. Israel even goes so far as to insert insurgent agents via dual citizenship into many US government administrative bodies to distort information being handed to government representatives and to disrupt government activities investigative activities.
This is about a tinpot nothing nation like Israel controlling and manipulating another government via corrupting the lobbyist process. Basically stealing billions and killing off US service personnel to continue it's land theft and redistribution for profit by a core of psychopathic Israeli business leaders.
You completely ignore training. When the government employs direct if more often than not trains direct, now add in government cadetships ie pay for university in return for extended employment contract. Now reduce wages by offering job security, safe working conditions, manage working conditions, better hoilday and sick pay, national and global posting opportunities and easy access to further education. Basically the government get's a whole lot more for the dollar, real organic growth creating stable expansive systems and high cost efficiency.
They had all this but the psychopathic corporate PR=B$ marketing machine and lobbyists simply spread all the lies required to shut that system down and privatise and contract everything, losing billions upon billions of dollars, in straight up fraud, dead end contracts and, failed projects. That invest by corporations into lobbyists paid of at 10,000% markup, it never was about efficiency it was always about corruption and greed.
The reality is under Darth Cheney that corruption reached it's peak and Uncle Tom Obama is just going to let it slide, even when that corruption was blatantly obvious to the whole world.
That's it, keep bragging about how Apple is screwing over it's customers it sure to win them more. Face it the iPhone is yesterday's phone and an Android phone is today's phone, tomorrow's phone now that another question. Personally I think the digital home manufacturer is going to win that, you know, throw in free phone/tablet combination with big screen TV and existing same brand appliances count fridge, washing machine, stove, microwave and new air-conditioning means you'll get next seasons phone/tablet combination also thrown in for free. Now add in branded solar panels, back up batteries and inverter and you get the idea.
You obviously missed the part about businesses having to take the photos and submit the to google. Obviously the idea here is to attract businesses to google, recommend the search services and obviously advertise with google.
Is it of benefit for a business to have internal panorama liked to google maps at the appropriate location, depends on the business, hotels, bars, restaurants obviously yes, retail outlets most probably. Likely get it now, while it's free, the more popular the more likely google will charge for this service.
Would it really alter a persons decision to go to one business over another, well seeing how extensive a range they have or the quality of internal fitout, probably yes. As for google street view tourists, it sounds pretty interesting and a fun extension to goggle street view, next step add in web cams to google street view and real broadband services expand so will business webcams.
The real simple answer is to offer an alternate to annual support fees and focus instead of a set rates for actual services provided.
No one really likes paying annual fees for the unknown, whether it be software licence fees with no real support and inevitable forced upgrades or service and support contracts.
A fixed set of charges for a range of services whether done remotely or on site. A sliding discount upon those charges for paying up front a year in advance.
Services include installs, major system configuration changes, backup support, external system monitoring, system security audits, even user configurations, new equipment selection and installs etc. etc.
In Australia those loans are for state and federally funded public universities and represent only 50% of the cost of the education.
Reality is, does a government want a more educated populace they knows more about the society is a part of and how it functions or an ignorant mob.
It is a silly lie to say the government want's the public to be stupid, an ignorant population is far more likely to follow a violent and radical leader, who turns them into a destructive force of destabilisation. A well informed and educated populace creates a far more stable population, capable of making sound decisions at election time.
Where should society spend it shared resources on frivolities like luxury yachts, cosmetics, jewellery, super cars or on educated the populace to the highest degree possible. Should we as a society follow the sane path or the path of narcissism and psychopathy.
Lets be clear about what addiction means by balancing the level of addiction in marijuana against other substances. Reality is marijuana is substantially less addictive and creates far less harm than alcohol, in fact there is no comparison at all between the level of addiction and harm between marijuana and alcohol, alcohol being orders of magnitude more addictive and harmful.
Then you also have nicotine, again the levels of addictions and harm are orders of magnitude worse for nicotine compared to marijuana. Even caffeine is more addictive and more harmful than marijuana.
So the real addiction is that of a corrupt government to keeping marijuana illegal. Addiction to campaign contributions from pharmaceuticals that want to patent the health benefits of the substances in marijuana and charge 1,000 even 10,000 percent profits on them. Addiction to profits of the alcohol who want to keep a safer cheaper competitor out of the market. Addiction to profits of the wood pulp and chemical required to turn it into paper. Addiction to profits to the privatised prisons corporations obtained from locking away drug users with extended sentences. Addiction to keeping other countries destabilised in drug wars forced on them by the United States. Addiction to off balance funds for the CIA as the one of the world leading drug dealers. Addiction to campaign contributions from drug dealers, those that profit most be illegal drugs.
Worst of all they are addicted to lies, to deceiving the public to feed their own addiction to power. They are scum sucking, filthy, degenerate, whores to the psychopaths that pay them of in campaign contributions and bribes hidden away in off shore tax havens. Remember those lies lies destroy tens even hundreds of thousands of peoples lives, sending them to prison for causing no harm to others, creating the financing for crime organisations that ravage communities, corrupting policing and turning it into law enforcement hostile to the citizens it is meant to serve.
In this case has management with golden parachutes been paid off to bankrupt Qantas. Whilst there was an industrial dispute, there was no actual industrial action going on. This stinks of some psychopath corporate executive plan for personal profit. Cripple a commercial airline and allow competitors a big chance to snap up market share whilst making Qantas an easy corporate takeover target.
So a competitor now buys up a crippled and cheap Qantas at a bargain price, shifts all operations offshore to maximise profits and the current criminal executives all get top salaried positions in the takeover company with big bonuses.
Bloody hell, slugo, don't like the story don't read it and don't comment.
Stories here are menat to be stories of any interest to geeks and nerds, that's any interest at all and, politics and unions and economic et al are of interest.
Bugger you and piss off if you think you can choose for me what will be of interest and what will not. If 'I" repeat 'I' have an interest 'I' will open up the story, check out the article and maybe comment.
You disgust me, censorship freak, you offend me, your reasoning that you can choose for me and choose for everyone else what will appear or what will not really truly does suck.
The driver is how many were interested and how many commented, nothing more or less and certainly not some tin pot god deciding for everyone else what is suitable and what is not.
Not happy the go read your shit else where, there are plenty of tech only web sites. I want a diverse spread of articles, that challenge existing thought and drive new ideas and yes unions are a hot topic because you of so limited thought, computer support staff and programmers et al can and do join unions.
I really think you don't understand 'Anonymous' at all. There is no 'Anonymous', 'Anonymous' is anonymous to itself. You do not join 'Anonymous', you either carry out activities in the name of 'Anonymous' anonymously or you do not.
In any case, when you comes to oppression, you either resist and work to end it or you live in fear and die when others choose to make you a random example anyhow.
The drug war is an insane activity of a corrupted organisation, the US government, designed it seems to promote pharmaceutical profits, allow the CIA a ready source of income, a means by which to destabilise other countries by forcing them to participate in drug war (whilst surreptitiously supporting the drug dealers ie money laundering and of course keeping the drugs illegal), ensure inflated profits for privatised prisons, maintain a massive anti-drug operation to suppress challenges to the status quo, allow intelligence operations to enter foreign countries masquerading as drug enforcement agents or paradoxically as drug dealers and of course the number one to win votes with the 'we're tough on crime' bullshit (of course excluding muggings, house break ins, car thefts, purse snatching, home invasions, crimes that affect the majority because, they are to busy chasing and convicting drug users).
The best war to declare war on violent criminals involved in the drug trade is to legalise drugs, quite simply bankrupt them.
But then Apple also does not make a phone either http://texyt.com/iphone+manufacturer+supplier+assembler+not+apple+00113. So what's your point, other than market leaders change really rapidly in consumer products, so winner now but dead in five years time. Apple is managing to do a pretty good job of mucking up it's brand at the moment, si yeah likely is in five years time, things will be the way they were five years ago.
If you look at the actual challenge they are not interested in theories they want you to actually put back together five different documents. If it's just theories, forget what's on the paper, deep scan the paper itself, resolve the pattern of fibres in the paper and then initiate a computer sort to reconstruct the digital scanned fibre patterns. At the level each and every edge of every piece of paper is going to be pretty unique and computers will have no problem doing the sorting. No actually manufacturing the device which, sucks up the pile, separates and the scans each piece, creating a digital wood pulp fibre image is the real problem, and certainly will cost more than $50,000 to build.
More like she is the classic example of the Peter Principle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle. Left in the world of B$=PR she thrives, left in charge things don't quite go so well. Like most current CEO's more time well be spent on inflating CEO compensation and enhancing the golden parachute than on achieving results. HP gave away it's business for free by outsourcing and contracting, there is now no way to stave off the ODM direct to public sales growth and quite of few of those ODM make everything electrical and electronic. Digital product consolidation is reducing the number of products and of course branding and new digital household marketing and sales deals will do even more damage.
Air-conditioning is completely different. It will only reduce the temperature of the air over the indoor coil by the capacity of it's compressor, the size of the evaporator and condenser coils and outside temperature. The amount of cooling achieved and how long it takes, depends upon internal heat loads, insulation values and volume of air to be treated.
Whether it's a dial or digital read out, the result is the same. Getting to your desired temperature will not be achieved faster by turning the dial or setting the thermostat beyond desired temperature. In most circumstances it will never be achieved simply because the unit is undersized for the load required. Instead of dicking around with thermostats, I can give you a big hint, the efficiency of air conditioners is driven by the size of the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers, by making them small the manufacturers, the lying scum sucking pigs, cut costs and advertise compressor horse power and you lose big time. Always do a comparison of actual cooling energy output and electrical current used to achieve it. Big efficient heat exchangers and a lot of cost to the unit, as well as things like type of electric motor and type of compressor.
Even things like the location of the thermostat have a big impact on how effective your air-conditioning feels.
