exactly, i pointed out some recent activity by apple and jobs supporting that he was a egomaniac and my post gets modded flame bait even though i back it all up with the well documented news articles.
and Wozniak is who i respect more then jobs. jobs was little more then a egomaniac control freak.(see pirates of silicon valley). yes some apple products were successful under him but many people seem to forget stuff like the apple cube or 'the your holding it wrong' debacle instead of admitting the antenna was grounded wrong..
all the ones that were successful were neither the first to market nor the best available either, they were only the best marketed. if you looked past the ad's and away from best buy or target you could find great deals on much better products.
I have to wonder. would he consider it deplorable if say the monetary gain was say, half of the fired employee's yearly salary? because to me he is objecting to the low prize value rather then the contest it's self.
I have not touched a hp since my last one kept killing it's self from poor thermal design and the faulty solder nvidia chip they put in it but would not replace.
no. it varies from brand to brand. and model to model. the only constants are larger oem's like dell and hp will limit the mini-pcie slot's usefulness to a 'approved' set of cards claiming 'fcc' regulations when it's the card not the device that is tested and certified. I had a hp pavilion once dv6000 and i was wondering why no other device put into the mini-pcie slot on the bottom would work. after a bit of googling i found out that hp puts a device white list in it's bios's and sets it to block any non hp branded devices. i needed a mini-pcie wireless A card and they were not providing one so i went out and bought a third party one only to find out i wasted my money because of that.
a lot of apple models will block generic ram that is not labeled apple along with the associated markup for the word apple. they claim it's due to 'performance' concerns when in fact the modules are exactly the same as the non-apple branded with the only difference being the word apple or mac in the vendor string of the device.
And you never really read the documentation on the specs. if it's on and the oem's force it to stay on with out a way to shut it off(you can bet ms will offer a discount for that) without certified drivers for every odd piece of hardware provided by the oem the system will not be able to use parts bought from a retailer like new egg. to put it more simply. No driver signed by the oem's secure boot key = non working hardware = your forced to buy replacement parts and upgrades from their store's limited and over priced selection as well as being dependent on their slower pace of driver releases(no more going to nvidia's or amd's site for the latest faster drivers for example).
Most laptop manufacturers do this with the mini pcie slot on laptops. apple does this with that and ram as well.
The same that Microsoft lives in with it's idea of secure boot? if that takes off and they pressure oems to turn it on then no one with a oem computer can buy parts from new egg and have them work. in fact many laptops 'now' have white lists in their bios's that prevent you from say dropping any old ddr2/ddr3 ram modules or mini-pice cards in and have them work because the vendor string on the device does not have the name of your laptop's manufacture in it. this forces you to only be able to buy parts from your laptop's manufacture at 50% to over 100% mark-up from what you would pay by buying it from new egg.
it's most likely due to the changes in china. the media spotlight of what happened in the foxconn plant in china probably has put just enough pressure there to put in place even some vapor like protections. so china does not get labeled(and rightly it should get labeled) as a place where companies push workers to suicide just for lower manufacturing costs. and so the multi-national company foxconn moves production to another country with very lax, to no worker rights because god forbid their executives and share holders earn a few percentage less money so the people who make the apple products among other companies products are treated like living beings instead of biological robots.
if i could mod you up i would. YOU are not the customer to Facebook. YOU are what Facebook sells to advertisers. From everything you put into your page to who you friend etc.
call me paranoid, but the security risks of having this in general user hardware may be used as the stick to push a more general adoption of tpm hardware for general use as a carrot to fix the problems this creates.
tpm hardware, when used in a server setting is useful, and it's the only place it's useful as a server needs to be reliable and the software needs to be trusted in the mission critical roles they are used for. tpm has no practical purpose on a normal level desktop other then consolizing the normal pc and locking it down to only run one os(windows) and only approved windows software(no foss ports or indie devs). this is because normal antivirus software in windows does a good enough job along with proper use practices or better quality code design as in other pc operating systems.
your a tad bit off.. the cortex a8 has the same performance as the Pentium 3 line. considering the amount of people who buy tablets i would say that is just near enough computing power that many people actually need. with the cortex a9mp and a15mp coming out the performance of a arm chip will be on parity or damn close to it to x86 on just about everything BUT gaming. in fact, looking at the omap4(texas instruments) version of the a9 which is used widely today. and their future omap5 which will have the ability to use sata 3 gbps and ddr3 along with dual gpu graphics i will go out on a limb here and state that for the exception for the enthusiast gaming market a omap5 will be a functional replacement for a x86 gaming rig.
.. that's like comparing a story in a book to the mechanical process of projecting images on a screen in such a way to make the illusion of motion. a more apt analogy is rewriting Romeo and Juliet to have them live and then going to all the libraries and throwing out the older copies to replace them with that one because it has a more positive feel to the current right's holder.
It's what he did in the late 90's when he released the special editions of the 4,5,and 6. I full support the idea of the star-wars franchise universe taken out of his hands and in it's place give him a box of crayons to play.
Because as soon as he edits it he throws out the older version considering the edited one the 'canon' and the older one his imperfect vision due to technology limitations at the time.
I run gentoo. wit the latest xorg and with no other drivers compiled or set up all i have to do to get either card working is just emerge either nvidia or ati drivers.
Daily mail the uk version of the inquirer tabloid here in the states? the one that has articles about hillbilly chicks giving birth to half alien(e.t. not non-american human) hybrids after being raped by them? why should i take their word for it? as for the oil fields they are in decline more due to being past their production peak then any lack of money or government stability. Still Mexico is a failed state like Somalia, but it's mainly due to our policies(the united state's policies) then anything else. Nafta + our prohibition on drug use not only created the profit incentive for these cartel's, but also rigged the game there that the only way to make money is to farm drugs. no family farmer there can make a living farming corn or the like at the prices allowed by nafta that the multi national company Monsanto dumps on the market there.

but instead of trying to discuss the points of the articles i posted i was modded flame-bait.

that's where he excelled as a marketing guy. he also seemed to have reached new lows before he died though in abusing the legal system to get a complete ban on any sort or rectangular thin computer device in Germany (see here: http://www.dailytech.com/Apple+Crushes+Samsung+in+German+Court+Galaxy+Tab+101+Ban+is+Complete/article22682.htm ) and other countries using photoshoped( see here: http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/195473/apple-files-inaccurate-evidence-dutch-samsung-case and here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/238047/apple_offers_flawed_evidence_in_lawsuit_against_samsung.html ) pictures that were made to make the galaxy tab look more similar to the ipad then it actually was. But i guess android out selling apple's iphone( see here: http://www.mobilemarketingwatch.com/android-outsells-iphone-2-to-1-in-summer-smartphone-sales-18775/ ) was too much of a blow to his ego to get those 'inovating juices' flowing?
I have to wonder. would he consider it deplorable if say the monetary gain was say, half of the fired employee's yearly salary? because to me he is objecting to the low prize value rather then the contest it's self.

I was referring to apple, they also use that to prevent you from dropping any ram module into their machines as well.
The same that Microsoft lives in with it's idea of secure boot?

normal email, im(google, msn, aim.), irc, mobile texting, phones, and the ever useful face to face. :P
I don't know, i have never seen a windows 7 phone in the wild. it's a rare beast in deed.
this sounds a bit similar to dbus. just more desktop & social media oriented.
Yea that's what i was thinking. it's a interesting concept, but i can't see how they can secure it against such uses as it is designed.
why support something that your new os's 'made for' or 'works with' branding program is designed to kill?
call me paranoid, but the security risks of having this in general user hardware may be used as the stick to push a more general adoption of tpm hardware for general use as a carrot to fix the problems this creates.

my amd fusion e-350 begs to differ on that. it works very well on the foss drivers.
I run gentoo. wit the latest xorg and with no other drivers compiled or set up all i have to do to get either card working is just emerge either nvidia or ati drivers.
not really.. all modern nvidia and amd hardware just works when you install the binary driver.
