So, they paid for the tour, and came back with copyright and code of of the GUI?? If not, they STOLE it, no matter how you want to paint it. Get over it.
I used to go to theaters almost every week. But past 5 years, it's just once or twice. Getting a nice projector and having patience for DVD/BD release works for me.
And I can drink beer from bottle straight up.
My problem was not (just) theater owners, it had more to do with mobile loving teens.
The kids were found in possession of 2 pounds of marijuana along with 10 syringes clearly meant for heavy drug usage. But more importantly, the test proved the a 0.5 BAC for alcohol in their blood. The police also found two semi automatic 12 gauge shotguns in the back of their bicycles.
Yep. Here is my completely biased coverage on [hot topic of the day], and I make a lot of outrageous 'assumptions'. Then here is my complete FUD to make everybody 'think'.
But then here, I am 'inviting others to take a look' so that I can get away with all the rambling and come out as fair and balanced.
If you really want to turn it on it's head, have a mutation and develop G6PD deficiency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose-6-phosphate_dehydrogenase_deficiency#Epidemiology) - an automatic protection against malaria. (G6PD deficiency is also known as Favism).
Only side effect would be not being able to eat fava beans.
One of the theories is that the mutation was caused as survival against malaria / mosquitoes.
>> Good work, Steve. Your endless desire for control has likely just cost the Mac a lot of developers. Oh, it may not be immediate, but it'll happen. Goddammit.
I think the biggest change mac ecosystem will see from this is that there will be small number of corporations selling their apps (for more or less $$) rather than a lot of small time developers releasing their stuff for free for other mac users.
So, does that mean the phone will stop working? WTF?? And you will be able to boot into Meego with your N900 in future anyway.
The USB port problem was fixed long back. If you have taken pain to search forum threads, then you should also check the timestamp (that thread is almost a year old) if they fixed a year old problem already or not.
Summary is missing out the biggest benefits - 1080p streaming (not all, but I guess almost all HD movies will be 1080p now - from 720p of the disk days IIRC), and Dolby Surround 5.1 (compared to Stereo with the disk).
And from what I have read, there will be more content available now (compared to the disk), but of course not all. My guess is that they are adding content every day, but it's nowhere near their full movie library.
Right. But my comment was more about "only answerable to shareholders" mantra of today's corporations and hence their tendency to hire an army of lawyers to protect them when they do things which are not exactly morally right - as in the case we are discussing.
But but.. capitalism must trump any prize, right? After all, the patent lawyers are byproduct of the capitalism as we practice in the US (and around the world too).

Apple fanbois with modpoints!? What a surprise!
WTF? It's Apple's draconian policies and rules which is preventing users from useful apps. And you are blaming FSF for that.
Man, RDF is really strong with you.
>> What if it wasn't accidental
Right on!!

Holly shit! Did we just screw up space-time vortex by commenting exactly at the same time but with exactly opposite conclusions??

Nope. It's clearly an iphone 4G. See how s/he is holding it!!
Other than HM, the other patient coming to my mind is Clive Wearing - here is a very insightful article by The New Yorker back in 2007 - http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/09/24/070924fa_fact_sacks?currentPage=all
Though I am not sure how much he contributed, but his case is every bit as (or more?) interesting as HM.

This comment by Shark was spot on - http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1829350&cid=33955544
But N900 is not a phone. If once wants just a phone, one should definitely go for Symbian.
And you missed the part where you shouldn't write about stuff you don't know? Have you ever heard of dual boot? Or Qt on Maemo? Yep, guessed not.
And you missed the part where N900 can boot into Meego?
>> I believe the N900 is soon to be discontinued.
So, does that mean the phone will stop working? WTF?? And you will be able to boot into Meego with your N900 in future anyway.

There already are enough good reasons to stop buying apple products. If you haven't realized that already, you will not realize it in future either.
Bravo! If only I had mod points.
Yep, and also wants to make calls, consistently, everytime.
Sucking Steve's dick much?
Nope. Quicktime.
True. Thanks for correction. There will be more content regardless of how you watch it - the disk is dead anyway in 30 days.

>> iOS just gets rid of it altogether
Yep, and I think that's a problem, not a feature.
You do understand what percentage means, right?
