Lame excuse. How about all the apps I have got _after_ one year of buying a product? e.g. all the application updates/new apps that lenovo is making available to my T60 completely FREE?
Why the fuck the only big company I know who has to go by this rule is Apple?
For example, I get firmware updates for FREE for everything which has firmware in it.
Mod parent up. If they really want to 'restore' the earlier eco-system, the dam should be removed. How can effect of years of flow be achieved with one or two 'manmade' floods?
Apple kinda pulled this feat off, designing a do-everything phone
How exactly? Just because ita Apple? Or by locking up the phone? By making sure you have to use a desktop to even activate it by using a music management software? By no OTA updates? By bricking it with firmware updates? By having no real keyboard?
Look at the names. All belong to Ma Bell family. Also notice that T-mobile is not in the list. I am not surprised if they just tell the judge "Oops, too late. We did not know!".
If you are watching movies on the tiny screen of your computer, it does not matter. I personally never use the feature. A good DVD with a good DVD player on my projector is the only way I watch movies.
I am not saying what GGGP said was wrong - my point is that it works okay for most of the people, people who just logs in and clicks on "watch online".
Because a lot of people are not into Hollywood shit they dish out at either Blockbuster or your local grocery store?
Netflix collection is just too good - so far, they have not disappointed me in Indie, Foreign, Documentary, TV Series and even in obscure 70s Japanese Sexploitation category.
Oh, and stop swearing, it makes you come across as borderline illiterate and definitely someone in their early teens with a lot to learn about the world.
Then Lewis Black must be a teen borderline illiterate?
I guess it had more to do with (40000 recipients across multiple geoclusters) x (100+ reply-to-alls) + crappy infrastructure. And all this in a very short period of time in the morning hours of work where email traffic was already on heavier side anyways.
a mailing list with a lot of people hitting "reply all" really isn't the same as a DDoS attack
May be not in this case, but thats exactly what happened when network came to standstill and exchange servers melted down for exactly the same reason for very large company I work for.
It started with a very creative admin creating a mailing list "to-all". Within 3 hours, somebody who had a lot of time on his hand found it out and sent out some naive message to the list. The classic snowball effect followed with "remove me"s and "stop replying to all"s - and within next 3 hours, it became so bad that the only option left was to purge queues and shut down all the email servers, which resulted in hundreds of emails bounced and lost - internal as well as external (which I am sure also resulted in loss of revenue directly or indirectly). And I guess thats what DDoS means.
It was funny and sad at the same time - you can't stop laughing at stupidity of people and their ability to do better than any other virus sending bulk emails to all in your addressbook.
>>I haven't been terribly impressed with bluetooth.
I have mixed results. I use Logitech MX5000 keyboard and mouse with Ubuntu. Had to do some tweaking with Edgy Eft to get them to work (running it via USB bluetooth dongle), but since then, no problem whatsoever - even after upgrading to Gutsy Gibbon.
But when I use the same mouse with T60 running XP, I see the connection breaking once in a while. And this is very surprising - given the fact that T60 hardware as well as XP both are supposed to work with bluetooth out of box, not my old machine without any bluetooth capability running on Ubuntu.

You see - "communication skills", "understanding", "expertise", "correct and consistent", "credibility" = Apple users.
Everybody else is fucking moron.
Or you should turn off the lights by toggling off the switch and do it immediately before she marries somebody else!
"Resolution: | 320x480 | 352x416" Yep - not objective at all. The screen size changes for each person.
Or by locking up the phone?

HOW EXACTLY?
OOK, MULTITOUCH!! OOK!!

Lets see.
Aliasing - Check Deinterlacing - Check Square pixels - Check Force dimensions to multiples of 16 - Check (Awesome!) Inverse telecine - Check telecine ghosts - Check
+5 informative - double check!
Now, I just tried to explain this to Joe - he asked me to STFU and let him watch his movie from Netflix online on his tiny 17" screen.
Not anymore.

Thanks. Found it here. See the commentary.

Either that or he is typing this on his girlfriend's mcbook with a bluetooth keyboard which is losing packets intermittently.
Thanks - who knew!! And why do I do ALL that when Amazon is already giving me what I would achieve after all those steps?
Only 3. The other two only had third party apps installed. Do NOT assume things you dont know.
Read again. I said LEGAL WAY. Still waiting.
