Nope. Apple makes money on the hardware sold.
The carrier makes money on the subscription and services.
Most carriers block skype service on their networks.
I read this and thought: "really? security concerns over the BlackBerry network?". Then I figured out that the "security concerns" were that it is too secure for them because they like to reserve the right to eaves drop and lay the smackdown when they feel appropriate.
It's rather obvious how it could be done but yeah, many patentable things are. I just think it's sad people can patent such crap/simple stuff. Especially since many others could come up with a very similar product from just wanting to solve the same problem, and the patent would most likely cover that solution to.
Then why isn't there a patent already on it? How long have we all have to deal with this (granted, "small") problem? I don't see any electronic devices that have it solved now. Sometimes the patent doesn't need to be so complex no one else would be able to invent it. It's really a matter of getting the idea in the first place.
The difference is in teaching diversity. I your school (like mine) had both Macs and PCs, then you learned to adapt early on, you learned the concept on an OS and that different ones had different paradigms, etc. I don't think this can be seen as a bad thing in any scenario. If you force PC onto students, then you take away this teaching (adaptive thinking), but at least you're getting them accustomed to (most likely) the environment they'll be using in the workplace a couple years from now. If you force Mac on them, you're not effectively teaching them to "think different", you're teaching them one way of doing things, which probably isn't the way employers will expect them to work when they graduate. It's setting them up to hit a brick wall.
From a Mac (and Linux) user. Also switching from PC to Mac is relatively smooth, not so sure the other way around would be as easy.
I install the blue bricks professionally, so I was sceptical when I saw the DT series, but it really does work (almost) as well.
The big cost difference compared to 1-dome systems comes from the wiring. LMR-400 or 9913 wiring and N-type connectors aren't really "affordable", whereas this uses standard RG6 cable and standard coaxial connectors. For a small to medium home with shaky cell coverage this will do an awesome job.
That's the crappy car version, won't do squat for his home.

The new DT series gets GREAT results while keeping costs low and installation troubles to a minimum.

Works fine here in Opera 8 for Mac.
Resizes just the same as in Safari and Firefox.
two rival environmental groups are lining up supporters
This just doesn't make sense to me... How can they be rival groups if they clearly have the same goal?
My naive self didn't think Corporate America's greed had made its way to environmental groups...
Paint.NET is a real good middle ground between MS Paint and Photoshop. The interface is lightning fast and neat, real easy to use, and pretty powerful. For a home user who occasionally has to edit graphics and/or photos, it's a neat program and it's free. Sure beats MS Paint at anything. If you're used to the GIMP, stick with it.
Well for Dreamhost customers, using Gmail actually means creating an address from your (Dreamhost) hosted domain and have THAT run through Gmail.
No one will ever know you use Gmail except you and the folks at Dreamhost. This is all integrate in Dreamhost's web panel. I think it's pretty neat and certainly not "unprofessional".
Add to that the fact that the applications currently supported almost all run natively for Windows (Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Skype, OO.o, etc).
Why would I want to run the Linux version of these on Windows, when the Windows version works just fine natively without the overhead?
I agree. We wanted to make the move out of a similar service we were using: Modus Gate. Simply wasn't cutting it anymore. I tried to setup GFI but the tweaking and triple-checking was just too much work for me (IT) alone. We went back to Modus. Last month I proposed switching to Postini for which I'd read a few positive reviews, the switch was easy, the complete setup for 30 users was done in under an hour, and it's been working GREAT so far. We paid 3$/month/user with Modus Gate. Positi gives us the same service with better results for 3$/user/YEAR! Try it, your headache will go away.

Anybody else see the irony in the fact that the first ad I see reading the article is an ad for a Hummer H2 SUV (what other SUV's want to be when they grow up)?

Apple has revenue on minutes how?

Long-Term Evolution is the name given to the 4G successor to HS(D)PA networks.
Am I the only one thinking the best way to "take the pressure off of Google" perhaps wasn't to make an android app and post the code on Google code?
Every repressive totalitarian regime has a silver lining.
If you mean the iPhone 4, that's actually the antenna.

I would say the fact that you keep vomitting might be what's making you skinny, not the bacteria in your gut.
Not to mention GP's suggestion takes up at LEAST 100 hours of said high-paying IT job.

I hear they just plan on calling the next one "Ultimate SP1".
