My oven has a wonderful piece of technology called a bi-metalic strip to keep it at a constant temperature. I turn the dial round to the temperature I want, and I know it has reached that temperature when the red light goes off.
I think you would struggle to design a fridge that could tell you what is inside quicker than opening the door and having a look.
Yes Symbian phones are not strictly speaking feature phones, but they were used that way.
You see a lot of adverts these days for shops, taxi companies and lots of other things that invite people to download their app, available on the iTunes Store and Google Play. You never saw that when Symbian and Blackberry were the market leaders.
The robocalls received by FCC employees is probably a pretty representative sample of the calls received by the population as a whole, so if the robocallers realise that their lists might contain FCC employee numbers but they don't know which numbers they are, they might decide it isn't worth a prison sentence.
At that time, the two dominant players in the server market were Unix and Novell. Microsoft's share of the market grew at the same time that Linux's share grew.
The big difference is that back then, all of the functionality of a Nokia phone was provided by Nokia, and pretty much any phone could do the same thing - make phone calls, send text messages, take photos, maybe listen to mp3s.
Now, most of the functionality of an Android or Apple phone is provided by third parties who write software for it, and someone else who wants to move into that market has to persuade those third parties to develop for their platform. That isn't going to be so easy.
Microsoft can win if they focus on the mobile worker running a line-of-business application. The ability of such a device to make phone calls probably isn't that important.
Think
delivery driver with the job/route list loaded onto the phone scanning barcodes, collecting signatures, then being told where to go next service engineer booking parts to a job and recording the work done breakdown recovery with the thing they plug into the dashboard sales staff with something similar to the modified iPod touches used in Apple stores.
BT Openreach for example have issued all their field engineers with Windows 8 touchscreen devices and iPhones loaded with the corporate application that has maps with the locations of all their phone lines, street cabinets and so on. That seems to be working quite well for them. They need something with a big screen and a reasonably powerful processor for doing proper work on the road, and something a bit smaller with a camera and GPS that they can use while walking around. I could see how having both running the same operating system would be beneficial. ARM based tablets such as iPads or Android devices weren't powerful enough for their requirements. In a few years time, they probably will be, but Microsoft could have got in their with a phone, but didn't.
My PHB is very keen on moving everything to the cloud. He doesn't actually know what the cloud is or anything like that, he has just noticed it as a listed feature on a load of ads.
Only because there aren't enough Scientologists to swing the vote anywhere. If there were enough of them to vote Miscavige as President, I think we would end up with a country like North Korea.
I think you could do that with monochrome e-ink technology. You change the colour of the background to red, orange or green, and use the black e-ink to turn the "light" off.
Then you just have the problem of illuminating it at night and making sure it is sufficiently visible during the day.
Well the cheapest form of payment for a store is debit card. Cash is a bit more expensive because they have to hire armed guards to take it to the bank, and the bank charges them a fee for counting it and checking that it doesn't contain forgeries. Credit cards are more expensive still because of the higher transaction fees charged by the banks.
That's not true. My first holiday job while at college was on a factory floor (in Scotland). They did quite regularly recruit for their production engineers and so on off the factory floor.
BT supply the local loop to everywhere in the country except Hull, which is supplied by Kingston. Cable providers, and by far the largest of them is Virgin, supply an alternative local loop to around 2/3 of the population.
On the BT network, other providers have put equipment into most of the exchanges which you can connect to over ADSL instead of BT (called local loop unbundling). BT also resell their service to other ISPs and you can get them everywhere you can get BT. If you want to use Cable, BT Fibre or Kingston, then you are stuck with that ISP, or in the case of BT, a reseller.
In England, we would call what you describe as "discharged" rather than "annulled". Annulled would be a declaration that he should have never been made bankrupt in the first place.
If there is more than one AP within range, which is quite often the case, I can currently see 7 of them, then it would be possible to figure out whether you are next to each other or opposite sides of the AP.
Supposing I visit some tax-dodging coffee shop. My phone picks up the free wifi there, and reports its location back to Google. Lots of other people who are there enjoying their tax-free coffee flavoured drink have phones which also pick up the free wifi and report the location back to Google. Google therefore knows who is in the coffee shop at the same time as me without my phone picking up other phones directly.

Paypal is an electronic money issuer, not a bank, so covered by different regulations. Balances held with Paypal are not covered by the Luxembourg equivalent of FSCS or FDIC as they would be if they were a bank. However the money does have to be kept in a separate ring-fenced account, which banks are not required to do.

My kitchen mixer automatically switches off when I remove the cover.
When I get my garage to change the car battery, they keep the old one, and most likely sell the lead plates to a scrap merchant.

Wine Is Not an Emulator. So it only works on Intel and AMD compatible machines.
It's the largest fine ever given to a private company, but not the maximum fine allowed by the law. Some local authorities have had larger fines.
