Somebody's wearing a device that can record whatever they're seeing and upload it to a remote server in realtime, and you're going to respond to by committing assault and battery against that person. Yeah, that's going to end well for you.
The Windows and OS X Evernote clients are, in fact, offline apps that use the net only for syncing. If the Evernote service where to goof up and corrupt all my data, I could restore it from my Time Machine backup. If Evernote were to go chapter 7 tomorrow and vanish, I'd still have all my data, which can be easily exported right from the client without an Internet connection.
This does mean they're giving up their common carrer status and are now legally liable for any criminal activities their network is used for, right? Right?
Rather than making it easy to undo moderation, they should fix the terrible zero-click UI for moderating, so that you need to confirm that you did select the correct post and that you did actually mean that moderation.
This sounds familiar. Where have I seen this used before? Oh right, that's how it works in D1! To this day, I have no idea why they thought D2 was actually an improvement.
Developing these patches consumes development resources, then must run through a QA process, and the patch needs to be communicated and distributed to users. And for a company like Adobe with a massive customer base using its Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash Professional, the bandwidth cost alone can be substantial.
Apple's only server product is OS X Lion Server, which is geared towards small businesses that only need a single tiny server and have no expertise to manage a Linux machine. Other than that, Apple has systematically removed themselves from the server side of the industry. If the server is where the real money is, then how come Apple's 2011 revenues beat Microsoft's by 77%, and their profits by 40%?
The rise of mobile devices will certainly lead to a big increase in hosted services, true. However, most of the major hosted services providers (Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.) all use Linux and/or UNIX for their backend. Microsoft has never had anywhere near the lock on the server side that they had on the client side.
50 years ago, my MacBook Air would have been considered an exotic supertech. By the time these space battles occur, who knows what kind of stuff we haven't even imagined yet will have become commonplace, and then obsoleted by even fancier tech.
According to the article, GoDaddy lost 21,054, but they also gained 20,034, for a net loss of 1020. Given their scale, that doesn't exactly sound like a massive exodus. Also, without any further information, for all we know, this is just a regular day of churn that happened to end negative.
On AT&T, the iPhone 3GS is available for 1 penny with 2 year contract. Sounds real cheap to me. (Yes, that requires a data plan, but so do Android phones, so it's a wash). I imagine when the next iPhone comes out in 2012, the iPhone 4 will drop to a penny on Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T.
What does it matter what percentage of people used it? They advertised it as a feature, Then they took it away as a condition of continued use of the paid-for product. That's called a bait and switch, and is illegal.
It's actually pretty easy to image the Lion installer on to a USB key or an SD card. It's a good idea to keep one around, so if you need to reinstall for whatever reason, you can just boot from it and you're on your way.
In addition, every machine that ships with Lion has a feature called Internet Recovery. Basically, if your hard drive is completely blank, the Mac will download the recovery partition from Apple to get you up and running again. Once that's downloaded, you'll have access to the same tools the regular recovery partition would give you: Restore from a Time Machine backup, or download and install Lion from scratch.
Based on job postings over the years, it's more than likely a combination of various Unixes and Linux. It's definitely NOT Windows (or OS X for that matter).
Speaking of, if you search their job listings for the word "iCloud", almost every hit explicitly mentions Linux or UNIX, and most of the rest mention Perl, Ruby, Python, and other UNIXy applications. I didn't look at every single one of them, but the only one I saw that mentioned Windows at all was for testing the sync to iCloud functionally on Windows. I don't think I'm buying this story.

You can set Gmail as your default mail client via Chrome. When you click a mailto: link (in Chrome or otherwise), it just pops up a Gmail tab.

Put the code in Evernote. It's not stored in the car, and you have it whenever you need it. Problem solved.

They're not. They're getting closer to turning a profit, but they have yet to actually do so. https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3AP&fstype=ii&ei=sfd0UNiGEKWdiALN1gE
She's still level 85. She's clearly not that devoted.
HP Mobility? Motorola Mobility? Coincidence? I think not!
Ooooh! Now I understand! It's a paradigm shift!
I thought Wave was dead.
This just in! Agile works great for some people on some projects, and doesn't for other people on other projects! News at 11!

Boohoo. Welcome to software development.

What devices are you cold booting that take 2+ minutes?

They were both: a desperation move that only lead to more desperation.

Yes, HP is a US company. So is Dell, which is also a mass computer company.

And out of the dozens of manufacturers (including some open source), none of them leaked anything to the press about said deals?

So you're going to try to take away my choice to use Facebook?
