@pla - i think we had the same thought process here. you beat me by about 10 minutes but everyone else reading my post below and put it together with this and you have a winning recipe.
We've crossed this bridge many times before throughout the years from various articles.
What happened to companies (especially high tech companies) allowing people to work from home? Maybe a visit to the office once every two weeks or maybe a monthly meeting for employee social time...sharing projects, dinner, etc etc. This means that you could employ people not even local to SF which is in the end overall cheaper(for everyone). There are many many bright people who live elsewhere in the US(many of them not single) that just dont want to live in this area for many different social, economical and political reasons.
This also means you dont have to pay through the nose for a building that houses all the employees. Just room enough for the owner, the receptionist and a big open atrium/hall for company meetings when everyone is supposed to check in. I really don't think companies get it. Check out Art & Logic . All their employees work remote and they at least claim that they only look for the best and the brightest. Their clients are also big time companies.
awaiting outside of the conference building just in case someone discovers a hack or hole in their operating system. Or maybe perhaps they feel guilty banning that guy that made them look a little bit like fools.
does this mean that wherever verizon has coverage I will get service? Because looking at their coverage map in my area, if i go anywhere outside of the main town area(including looks like the lot where our new house will be, 15 mins from town) i wont get service...unless they allow roaming on the verizon towers.
I have looked into Straight Talk but they said online that I couldn't get a plan because i have a CDMA phone. What would the process be of getting straight talk on my HTC android phone(CDMA)??
It finally has rained but after 2 weeks straight of 100 degree temps plus an additional 50-90% humidity(the heat index was 111 a few days ago but now we finally got some rain) - all the so called "full sun plants" are dead with the exception of a knock out rose and the electric bill doubled this month as a result of the A/C constantly being on 70, 24 hours a day.
You can now get up about 7 AM and you already see heat mirages. Its always like this but this has been especially hot. I have learned that 100 degrees in somewhere like California is a big difference than say 100 in one of the southern states like Mississippi or somewhere on the east coast such as the carolinas.
which will make it even MORE unpopular with the public and with certain people in congress. I forsee even a repeal perhaps even before Romney has a chance to take office.
except now people are going to be at war with IRS who will be the mediator at collecting said taxes. Also what if my current coverage isnt enough to be deemed "ok". Some people dont have full coverage because they dont need OBGYNs and such.
OK so on that line of reasoning, as many has mentioned already, if they can "tax" this what can they NOT tax?
As an example, if you cannot prove that you have eaten a certain amount of vegetables a day or you don't have a membership at gym or something then obviously there is a risk you will be more likely to go to the doctor and such...thus we must tax you.. i mean really this opens the floodgates.
it isnt SCOTOUS job to label it as anything other than what the bill said. the bill stapled out a mandate not a tax, even though it was argued as a tax in the hearings. how can you rule based on a tax if the bill had nothing to do with it?
I am pretty sure that Apple has so much stated in the past that if it competes with one of their products they could pull it. I should go look at the guidelines now to check up on it.
Apple letting another browser app onto the platform? Unless I have amnesia I am pretty sure that they are pretty strict on rejecting apps that compete with their own?
Imagine the cops following the trail of balloons and signs to a house advertising a birthday party...and the getting a warrant without the homeowners knowledge so they can listen to make sure no one sings the *song*.
a phone that is Yahooed or even a phone that is verizoned. I want a phone. If i want to put facebook, yahoo, verizon stuff on my phone then I will do it. I dont see why companies are trying to come out with their own versions of phones that are supposed to be agnostic. We dont need any more walled gardens.
"One of the guys who manages the building came in at like 5 or 6 in the morning," Simons lamented, "and he scoured the entire place to find me."
How did he know that someone was there to scour for to begin with? The article didn't state or perhaps it is unknown how AOL or a guard came to realize he didn't belong there.
Should companies be allowed to buy up other companies for the sheer purpose of removing competition from its current or upcoming competition? It's one thing to do it once but what about 50 times until there is nothing left to buy and you are the only game in town??
If i put the tv on mute, change channels, go take a dump, fix dinner, go outside, look at my computer -- all of which includes not watching commercials... am I killing the business model? See if people want to watch ads they will and if not they won't. Just because someone makes it easier to do so is not a good argument in court IMO.

"wrote today that its earlier decision was a mistake"
we thought we could get away with it. our intentions weren't a mistake. Thinking there wouldn't be as much of an outcry was actually the mistake.

but what if i already have insurance?
as frankly, I think that most of the american public is tired of Obama. Then where will we be??
it isnt SCOTOUS job to label it as anything other than what the bill said. the bill stapled out a mandate not a tax, even though it was argued as a tax in the hearings. how can you rule based on a tax if the bill had nothing to do with it?
How can they disable a feature from a DVR that I purchased - for one of the reasons of skipping ads?
Time for a new round of lawsuits.
everyone i know just wipes it and loads up the android stock Ice Cream Sandwich(currently) and loads the software they want.
yeah i gave you that link in haste - then read later on what they had done. shame shame.
Apple Guideline 8.3: "Apps which appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product or advertising theme will be rejected."
Now lets get down to business. Will Apple pull a competing app?
app pulled
I am pretty sure that Apple has so much stated in the past that if it competes with one of their products they could pull it. I should go look at the guidelines now to check up on it.
Apple letting another browser app onto the platform? Unless I have amnesia I am pretty sure that they are pretty strict on rejecting apps that compete with their own?

"a virus took over my computer and held it hostage"
looks like the executable was windows. it was warning you about itself.
"When I arrived, they, with tears in their eyes, told me that the virus was so awful and merciless that they were unable to remove it."
Again windows is THAT awful.
