Except that in some cases it asks for location and bases everything on that. I select Europe/London, so it sets the time zone to GMT, the currency to £, the language to correctly spelled English and so on. If I select Europe/Paris for example, I would get the CET time zone, but I would also get € and everything in some unintelligible language.
If Apple has shown anything, it is that you don't want to converge the mobile experience with the desktop experience. Mobiles and desktops are used in different ways and require different interfaces.
Email is probably going to be an ssl connection to an exchange server back home, so even if you do nothing, they can't read your emails. A lot of people are going to use VPN to access their workplace network back home simply because it is the only way to get in, so I don't think VPN traffic will be that unusual.
"I know a LOT of Outlook users, and NONE of them have ever listed Usenet as a necessary feature." Which is just as well, because Outlook doesn't have Usenet support.
If you take the PC market as an example, I don't think it will support more than two operating systems. Apple have the premium market tied up, so that leaves Android in the mass market. Developers developers developers developers developers aren't going to code for multiple different platforms. They will code for the ones with the largest customer base, and that means Android on the mobile sector and Windows in the desktop sector.
In the dumbphone era, people didn't buy Nokia for the operating system. They bought it for the excellent hardware, and there is no reason why Nokia can't make excellent Android hardware.
Microsoft still have a chance in the tablet market if they port Windows Phone 7 to it, and get it out about the same time as Honeycomb, but it looks like they are going to blow that as well.
Do incoming texts cost you anything? As far as I'm aware, none of the cellphone companies in the UK charge for incoming texts, even when you are roaming abroad. The one I use has unlimited outgoing texts as standard when inside the UK, and it is very difficult to find a plan that doesn't have at least 50 outgoing texts per month.
Well Ballmer's previous work experience was as an assistant product manager at Procter and Gamble. That seems more like John Sculley's prior experience at Pepsi than Steve Jobs as founder of Apple.
If the defendant doesn't show up, you don't win by default. The judge decides the case based only on the claimant's evidence, and they do sometimes still lose, as ACS:Law did in some of these cases.
In England, the small claims procedure is overseen by district judges, not magistrates. Magistrates hear criminal cases which attract a sentence of less than 6 months in prison.
The ACS:Law cases were heard in a "proper" court, not because the money involved was large, but because they were copyright cases, which are not eligible for the small claims procedure.
In Britain, we would probably call this the Benetton effect, after a clothes store called United Colours of Benetton who used the outrage from shocking ads as a way of spreading publicity.
They are not the complete future, but they will certainly play a part in it. I think you will see them replace some of the rugidised laptops used by field engineers. They will also be used as a sort of converged ebook reader / portable tv.
Pick numbers > 31. You will have the same chance of winning as before, but a much lower chance of having to share the jackpot with someone else. That is because a lot of people pick birthdays as the numbers.
If it is a theory, it is supported by many strands of scientific evidence, and so should be taken seriously. But maybe it is not a theory, just a hypothesis. Please try not to misuse the word "theory", it only helps the creationists, quack doctors, climate change denialists and so on in their attempts to discredit science.
All of the cellphone networks in the UK do it. There are 80m cellphone connections for a population of 62m, and there is no way they could get enough IP addresses to go round.
"IP" isn't on the list, as it isn't a physical product that goes through Customs.
Take Apple for example. They go down on the list as an importer of goods from China. However, the design of their products and the software that runs on them is carried out in the USA, and their products go from China to all over the world. That is a major IP export from the USA.

There is however almost certainly a lot more than 100 email domains that people want to send emails to. The internet is more than just the www.

A 1990 PC had a 12" monitor, a keyboard and an optional mouse. A phone has a 4" touch screen and an optional slide-out keyboard.

You are confusing marketing with sales.
Marketing is about coming up with a product that the market wants. Sales is about telling everyone your product exists.
Actually, Steve Jobs' innovation was to make his tablet a giant iPod touch rather than a keyboardless laptop.

There are no overlaps in the product lines of Dell and AMD, so there are zero anti-trust issues from a legal point of view.
Well Apple TV 2 of course switched to ARM. I guess your emphasis is on "products like".

Yes. www.fixmystreet.com in the UK.

ACS:Law is a sole trader, not a company, so it can't be folded. The only way out would be for Andrew Crossley to personally file for bankruptcy.

Which is fine until StrongVPN get subponaed. See for example hushmail.
That may happen, but fraud cases are not heard in the patent court.

It may be as different as Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2, basically the same thing and most stuff works on both, but optimised for different uses.
