Just a thought... but if you can make the situation worse (which I have experienced with yet) with a software patch... would it also be possible to make the problem better with a software (ie changing the software back to the original version would make the situation better than it is with 2.02 version?)
I actually am an apple fanboy... whatever you want to call me... I have not had trouble with 2.02... I have had many issues with being stuck in 3G with bad reception with the older releases... not sure about the current version of 2.02...
A new organism is formed by the protrusion of part of another organism. When yeast buds, one cell becomes two cells. When a sponge buds, a part of the parent sponge falls off and starts to grow into a new sponge. These are examples of asexual reproduction.

I think the discovery process in the community is key... not just... hey i see you got a nice shiney ipod or a zune thingy... do you listen to cool music? got any recommendations?
The reason I like my ipod... its my space...
I think the reason we are seeing these quick delivery of applications is not for first mover advantage but more... people do not know how other people are going to react to the software they have built... the feedback given once an application is live is much more important than being first advantage... think about google... think about netscape... think about msft... they all release code that is hard to maintain... that is riddled with holes... because there is no way to really assess the success or failures of a product until it is in front of the users... this feedback then gives you the next steps on what you will need to build/fix/rewrite etc... so the rapid development abilities are important because they give us a way to capture the requirements of an application...
a phone and music player would be great... one device wonderful... PDA and phone in one device would be great... but... i do not think these manufacturers understand how to compete with Apple on user interface...
of all the years of using a cellphone... we still have inferior interfaces on the leading phones... my razr sucks... its not easy to store and retrieve a phone number for a person who has multiple phone numbers... or a voice name... and that there is no voice navigation of the menu system is lame... a nd how about the way you setup/hookup a bluetooth device... its to hard to get a call from my family and take the bluetooth receiver off the phone when my bluetooth receiver might be close by...
Apple's ipod however... works... its easy... its easy to download music and its easy to listen to music... its easy... there are a few problems like when i switch computers etc.. and have to transfer my music over to my new computer... it would be easier to have a feature where i could download my previously downloaded music... but when it comes to a dependable easy to use device when i want to listen to music... i have two choices my nano or my video ipod... sorry guys... i think we will not have a single device until someone figures out how to do it right... and it will probably be apple
maybe not the original... but I think the controversy with the iMac was it was a consumer product... again the point was more floppies have been useless for a while... and a few companies figured this out a while ago... so I iMac was not the first to not include a floppy...
sorry to not include all the thoughts in the first posting...
- floppies are expensive for the amount of data they hold (CDs and DVD and your iPOD)
- they are not reliable
- they are too big
- use the internet to transfer files between computers - email (gmail's 2GB should do), SCP, SFTP, websites
the original iMac was considered revolutionary when it didnt include a floppy drive - quoting business week interview of Steve Jobs from May 25, 1998. Floppy has been dead since 1998.
"Q: Why did you decide against including an internal floppy drive and opt for a slower modem?
A: You know, you've got to do the right thing. Just take the floppy: People aren't thinking clearly. Nobody's going to back up a 4-gigabyte drive onto 1-megabyte floppies. They'll use a Zip drive -- but they're too expensive to build into a consumer product. Besides, hardly anybody backs up anyway, so why build cost into every system? The second reason for a floppy is software distribution, but a lot of software now comes on CD-ROMs because it's better and cheaper [the iMac includes a CD-ROM drive]. "

My mileage has varied - probably the best mileage I saw was 45 mpg when I was travelling a very long distance with a hilly section. However... I am happiest about having this car when I drive to work... very short distance 6 miles but local (no highway) driving with 7 stops. I love at lights ecspecially long ones the feature where my car "shuts" off and as soon as I press the clutch in the car comes back to idle... really cool feature for long lights. I think I am seeing 35ish mileage for in town driving... all in all I am happy with having to fill up my car every 3 weeks... or only once on the 640 round trip to maine... which now costs me about 22 dollars...

MSFT lawyer: you cannot prove that this email was written by a msft employee... the security holes in our software are well documented...

And the subsequent "mis-search" by the google news user who types kerry rather than john kerry... maybe google news should learn synonyms?

Google bases its relevancy on links to the page not just its ability to crawl it and the contents of the article.
probably a feed from that news provider... googlebot would become inefficient at building dictionaries of registration information...

for all the links on the net that tell us how google ranks pages... here is the reason/method behind their madness...
MSFT and YHOO its not just storage...

does anyone know the on-line transaction fees for credit cards, debit cards and/or pay-pal? I thought pay-pal had the highest fees...
