I want to remind folks here that this seems to be an AT&T/Apple issue, not a technical iPhone issue. Here in Sweden all carriers support tethering and activating it is as simple as pushing a button on the iPhone and pressing an OK button in OSX acknowledging that there's a new network interface active. Slide a slider, attach the cable, press OK. Done.
Most unlikey. The design with very long wings and an unremakable engine nozzle suggest that it's strictly subsonic. It seems to be designed for high altitude and to be ale to stay in the air for a long time, not high speed. A supersonic design would probably have a elongated fuselage, shorter, probably delta shaped wings and engine nozzle with variable shape (it could be embedded in the fuselage though).
I think BBC might be the most powerful factor in the World for this kind of arguments. We have a publicly paid broadcaster in Sweden battling the same battle but SR/SVT isn't nearly as powerful and looks to BBC for guidance. I, myself, does what I can to make our broadcasters adopt open standards for their broadcasting, but it's seems hard for them to get out of their proprietary delivery technologies (Real/Windows Media/Flash based). Amazingly hard. But I think we are getting there. Baby steps.
You could do this in Mac OS 9 even.. Apple introduced "AirPort" in 1999 and ad-hoc Internet sharing was available from day one, iirc. I've been doing this kind of bridging to and from a variety of interfaces regularly for a long long time. Wifi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Firewire, dial-up..
What are we missing here? Really?
Relly? I did a quick Googlig too, and found nothing. There's certainly nothing of this sort to be found on their homepage, nor ARM's. I did a lengthy googling and found an Intel executive stating that it's ARM, but I also found an ArsTechnica article http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2007/08/MIT-startup-raises-multicore-bar-with-new-64-core-CPU.ars stating that it's a MIPS derived VLIW architecture. After MIPS revealed itself as a candidate it was easy to find more information, and MIPS it is.
Massive amounts or cores are cool and all that, but if the instruction set isn't any standard type (ie x86, Sparc, ARM, PowerPC or MIPS) chances are that it won't see light outside highly customized applications. Sure, Linux will probably run it. Linux run on anything, but it won't be put in a regular computer other than as an accelerator of some sort, like GPUs which are massively multicore too. Intel's Larrabee though..
Yeah, my thought exactly? I wasn't aware that it was a problem searching hundreds of gigabytes on shared volumes. We have a couple of terabytes shared by our Mac servers and I don't think I've had search times longer than ten seconds over a couple of million files.. MS Office files, PDFs, movies, audio, pictures, photographs, text, HTML, source code.. all indexed with metadata and contents.
Even the days before Spotlight, using AppleShare IP Servers in the 90s, finding stuff on the servers was never an issue. It has always been so fast that I have never even reflected over that it was fast. Maybe I should use some other operating system once in a while to experience what the majority experiences. Or not.. I'd rather stay care free and productive.
In this business, having a two months head start is..nothing. I bet HP's and IBM's marketing teams are launching whatever is in the pipe according to nuances Sun's roadmap. It must be the reason Tukwila is slipping year after year after year.. or not.
Anyway, am I the only person who actually read The Hobbit, thought it was a great book, read Lord of the Rings and thought it was good, if long-winded, and then absolutely hated the films?
Yes. You probably are the only one. Or at least one of an alarmingly small minority.
Apple would probably still make money since you a) bought an iPhone and b) solidified Apple's hold on music distribution online. Apple probably just laughed all the way to the bank, the same way Microsoft, Adobe and Autodesk are laughing all the way to the bank when their software gets distributed mer or less for free in thesemarkets.
Some markets are unreachable with western prices, so if you still want to be present on them, adjust your price. Close to free, is good enough.
OMG OMG OMG!
Some company is actually writing drivers for Mac OS X!
That's about bloody time! Everyone is wining on Apple to write drives for every thinkable gadget out there when it should be pretty obvious to ask the manufacturer of that gadget to do just that. Is this so hard?! It's not Apple's fault nor responsibility that MP3 player X doesn't integrate with iTunes, or cell phone Y with iSync, or video card Z.. or.. or..
Seven out of the top ten supercomputers in the latest top500 list have AMD in them, including the top two, so I don't really see the whole "AMD losing momentum and competitiveness.
Seven out of the top ten supercomputers have Power Architecture processors in then too, including the top two, but I'd say that Power Architecture has lost its momentum, wouldn't you?
PS. For those who don't know. Roadrunner uses PowerXCell 8i processors, which are Power Architecture. All Cray XT3/4/5 supercomputers uses PowerPC 440 based communication processors called SeaStar. BlueGene uses PPC 440/450 based custom CPUs. DS.
I supercomputing circles (i.e. Top500.org) double precision floating point operations seems to be what is desired. 4 TFLOPS single precision, while impressive, is overshadowed by the equally weak 80 GFLOPS double precision, beaten by a single PowerXCell 8i (successor to the Cell in PS3) or the latest crop of Xeons.
I'm sure tesla will find its users but we won't see them on the Top500 list anytime soon.
Or.. It _could_ be that the Opera rep is just stating something which no one can verify. In the end Opera gets goodwill and great press while Apple gets the opposite. Opera has allegedly built cool stuff which and Apple probably would have rejected. Either way.. FUD and vapor all over.
CDE was introduced in 1993. NeXT Introduced a Dock like function in 1988. I havn't read the patent application but it might be a continuation of the Dock like functions in NeXT Step
Titan has been a prime candidate for life for as long as I can remember. Since they figured out that it had an atmosphere, it probably had lakes of some kinde and pretro.. possibility for life.
ffmpegX for OSX uses x264 and it's transcoding like mad on my eight core Mac Pro. A 2h Video_TS film conversion to iPhone-ready double pass h264/MPEG4.. in less 20 minutes. Using 720-760% CPU, i.e. just the right ammount for me that uses the machine for other tasks as well.

It probably will, since OpenSolaris is ported to System z. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSolaris_for_System_z

600 MHz ARM-processor won't be able to play 1080p MKV. This can almost play 480p apparently.
No one will catch up with you. You are running in the wrong direction.

Don't call me when you figure this out.
The Last version of "classic" Mac OS Was 9.2.2. You might refer to 9.0.4 which was the last version of 9.0.x.

Living here in the cold north, the Sun never sets in the summers. It's still night, even if it's not dark.

Patent application #5146556 from 1992 is clearly the precursor to the Dock. Filed by Steve Jobs et al, while at NeXT.
CDE was introduced in 1993. NeXT Introduced a Dock like function in 1988. I havn't read the patent application but it might be a continuation of the Dock like functions in NeXT Step

It's only the GUI that's shareware, what I just told everyone was that the open source codec x264 is threaded and performing very good on SMP systems.
ffmpegX for OSX uses x264 and it's transcoding like mad on my eight core Mac Pro. A 2h Video_TS film conversion to iPhone-ready double pass h264/MPEG4.. in less 20 minutes. Using 720-760% CPU, i.e. just the right ammount for me that uses the machine for other tasks as well.
The EFIKA development board with the exact same specifications was sold for $99.
