While this may allow for an iPod that I can finally be able to afford. I am more interested in the implicationgs for other handheld devices like palm pilot. This is just another step towards having fully functioning PC in a handheld device.
While I say good for those countries, Here in the US, we are less fortunate. Theses companies are full of ULA and all sorts of legal mumble jumble that protect them and let them do what ever they want.
Hopefully people in this country will eventually join up in a large enough grouping and say enough is enough. Its really pathetic when you have organizations that tell you how to do things and we just bow our heads and go ok... we surrender.
Now of course before this gets replied to a million times, these comments refer to the general public and not exactly the community that will be reading this.
Yes because this is obviously something that couldnt be done with sensors on the side of the race track we had to wait till GPS came along. Oh well good job on harnessing technology that will help in my gambling problem
the article needs to be more descriptive about the process and what the criteria is. Well maybe the fact that some of those programs mentioned do anonymous and routine communications without the users knowledge/activation. How about the fact that I have my IM up all the time and just down keep a webpage up all the time. I am not using it all the time just online. But i use a lot more bandwidth when I surf. They should judge this by bandwidth usage. (which I admit can not say for certain they are or not doing, i think that some file sharing programs would pop up there too then)
I remember way back when, when the older macs had system extensions specific for that type of computer. The OS eventually moved towards a universal approach to different types of computers. Would that work or am I way off the deep end (it was a long night of drinking).
give it some time. Two factors that will lead to that. 1) long term sucess of such services as iTunes, and 2) Higher precentage of people with fast internet connections.
While both of these are moving towards a reality, i doubt that you will see any movie service in the next year or so. Computers are just not the best way of playing a movie. And while I am sure that there are some people who here who have their monitor hooked up to some big tv or something like that, most dont. Things like movies on demand where you can order them and play them whenever you want on your cable box are whats going to happen in the near future.
But eventually they will be
There will always be people who dont believe in global warming, no its just a weather cycle that the world goes through where all the ice melts and the earth becomes waterworld.
Well either way, all i know is that we done our fair share to help out or conspiracy theories that have the global warming as part of some alien plot (no really that was a good movie) are true.
Now at first that is what I was thinking when I saw teh article. Clear case of microsoft embarrassment and microsofts reaction would clearly be one of litigation (now of course, it still is likely to do that) but is that the best thing for microsoft. One of the reasons other systems have such good security is because they have a consortium of people and organizations working on them. If microsoft took this approach they could move to be a more secure environment (they still be evil)
Its a pity that they didnt coordinate all of these at once. You know if they had filed suit against Microsoft from multiple angles (Internet, AV Media, etc. (i am sure there will be more down the line)) it would have had a much more devastating effect and had much more of a chance of stringent regulations being impossed on microsoft. but no one takes the path of the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
It is still years away from actual widespread distribution. The clinical trials are in 4 phases, prior to actual drug approval. So dont expect this to be getting this at the local health clinic anytime soon.
Yeah but then the cheap sollution will be just everyone has a big party once one of them has caught the flu and they all catch the communicable disease. It be very easy for (unless they put safeguards into place) for this to sweep across the nation... and no more cancer. Well i guess that is an idealistic view of things.
The key is to make sure tha they dont accidently put this cold into next year's flu vaccine. All their effort gone to waste because they couldnt catch the cold.
But by advertising no hourly usage limits, they are arguably saying that they have no bandwidth limits. Because they dont specify their definition (although clearly they mean towards number of hours online) of wht hourly usage limits are, it coul,d be argued that they mean that usage is also downloading and uploading. And therefore if they have no hourly limits, to have a monthly or yearly limit, would be in fact contradictory to such statement. And the courts often rule in favor of the consumer when it comes to contradictory statements.

well just wait till they pop one of these into an iPod you be able to store like 1 million songs. on that thing.

eh what will happen is the stock will fly high on the first couple of days. then settle down. so buy low then sell. Simple enough.

Well I guess this quote sums it up best
Custom Official: Have anything to claim?
Man: Yeah, dont go to england!
so now we will get a blue screen of death before the computer can even load the operating system. Looks like it is time to stock up on motherboards.

... You'd have to ignore all that Simpson DNA evidence. And that would be downright wacky.

My 2 cents worth

Well lets see 1) Cameras in heated stem-cell debate forum 2) ?????? 3) Profit ????
Now couldnt they just do a merger of Sci-Fi and TechTV to do this.
We'll with bush in office we have a chance of trying them as enemy combatants.
so how much of this actually goes to the space agencies involved, and how much do these private companies keep.
hehe, just wait and before you know it they will find out that this is the cause of SARS or something like that.

yeah but they are more likely to put money into prisons than into education. At least you bet getting the leather electric chair now in texas.
