  2. lost cause! :P on What Should People Understand About Computers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i say its a lost cause, there is soo much 101 book about computer. if u can't explain it to your mom. don't expect any book to be able to.

    People tend to learn on a step by step basis depending on the interest in any specific subject.

    meaning if i am interested in learning quantum science. no mather how hard it is, I will keep on trying. well if i don't fell the need for it, i will give up and say its non sense.

    So just grab your latest for dummie book and hand it over to your mom. If she REALLY wants to understand then she will learn.

    Just give up, if you are just trying to force knowledge into her mind, its a lost cause ;p

  4. Burst won't win on Apple Sues Burst.com in iTunes Patent Dispute · · Score: 1

    last time the won because they managed to prove that MS copied on burst technology when entering in a pre-licensing agreement. which is what patten laws are for. but this time they are simply trying to sue someone that has a similar product.

    what i mean is that won against a large corporation for a good cause, proving that someone copied on them, but this time it was something developed prior to its existance.

    Oh well i mean they are a 60Million dollard dead company so far, if they want to be a 0$ dead company, so be it.

  13. Re:Sit over here, sonny. on After College, What Type of Jobs Should One Seek? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well if you go the helpdesk road, you can easily become senior analyst in less than 3 month.

    that's what I did last year when I graduated. Unfortunetly its kinda very hard to get out of the helpdesk roadmap. It offers decent money as you go up and you can go up a rank every 4-9month.

    Last year the market was really bad. So I joined in a Helpdesk as a temp job. But now I realise that it is very hard to get back on track. :(

    Everytime that a jr. job in a fied that review my resume (posted last year) offer me less money that my current sr. job in the helpdesk.

    The balance shift between easy money and challenging work for less money. SDLC (Software Delelopment Life Cycle) Supports the theory. Maintenence is the most expensive/lucrative segment of it.

    So its really up to you. Do you want the money (not much but steady) or do you want the pride of creating new stuff (small burst of large pile of money).

    Actually I am still debating my self. I really do want to go on the fun side.. Development.

    Also on the side note. If you go on the Helpdesk side try to start a small biz and get a few contract from time to time to keep your skill sharp. Because from experience, If i just did helpdesk all along well i wouldn't know how to program anymore.

  15. Re:Does this mean - on Apple to Use Intel Chips? · · Score: 1

    Remember the Tablet Mac Patern posted a few weeks ago;) I would bet that Apple could leverage from the Centrino Technology.

    I am not a chip expert, but i think that they are having trouble shrinking the size of the G5.
    since it require lots of cooling.

    If u follow Steve Job's new product release strategy, he release a technology based on the previous. ( He learned it the hardway, NeXT, Apple 3... Full Feature, All At once state of the art stuff failed again and again) So he released a iPod to fluff up his war chest. Made iTune to feed on Tigers Desktop Search. added video conferencing in Tigers, launch the mini imac... my guess he is going for living room video conferecing next... imagine ur i mac, ur plasma screen, and iChat! Kaboom! Ok on the other end of the spectrum, he made the one piece iMac... didn't work quite well way too big.. he wanted to test out the ability as a tablet Mac.. imagine a ipod that u doc on ur tablet mac.

    So do u see where i am going.. if everything goes well the ipod will morph as a PDA (picture/music/contact...) dock it you mini imac in the living room, u got ur music for music, launch, all the stored contact will help u launch ichat to video conference on ur plasma screen. plug it in ur table mac (same form factor as the curent imac but slimer and u got ur but that u can tear off from the stand). the MAC LIVING ENVIROMENT EXPERIENCE. iLife redefined.

    All this to say that i would be really cool to have a tablet mac with centrino. cuz G5 is taking darn too much space to be a tabet mac on a podium (like the imac

  18. Re:Costly on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1

    Not Realy for a Shuttle form factor (not nearly as great as small, but the close it gets) you have to shell out 250$ add a 50$ for low cost ram, another 50$ for cheap HD and another 50 for CPU and finaly another 20$ for a crapy CD-rom/burner. You mount out to 420$. If you want to be realy fair add 139$ for windows XP. you don't get nearly as great deal.

    Howerver, i would not buy it. 299$ maybe. :D I would rather get a ibook G5 (LCD screenw with it)

  19. Re:Call me paranoid..... on Microsoft Just Wants a Little Look · · Score: 1

    actualy its a very evil and smart move from microsoft. now imagine the main user base are windows are somewhat uninformed about technology and they are the most likely to get the freebies.

    And the more technologicaly informed user are mostlikey having a non legit version and won't use it.

    so basicaly you skim the fat and eventualy it will turn to this response:

    NO KNOWLEDGE + LETIT = YES
    NO KNOWLEDGE + NON LEGIT = NO

    KNOWLEDGE + LEGIT = YES [VLK and such for work]
    KNOWLEDGE + NON LEGIT = NO

    with this assumption you can basicly sue all the NON Validated user with a few chance to sue the wrong person. since, windows user base is non technologicaly oriented. the oulier lies in KNIWLEDGE WORKER REBELLING AGAINST WINDOW USING IT AT HOME. but hey they have like 70% of chance of getting the right people.

    And they have the fund to do like the RIAA. so people don't take the poison food. then again, when too much people will get sued, pehaps there is gonna be an opposit effect with ppl switching to Linux.
