I don't recall exactly, but it was with a version of IE, that if you copied or pasted in the URL field, it gave you an alert that said "Feature not implemented".
Any psych-turned-CS person will tell you that the hardest behaviors to break are partial reinforcement.
Behaviors that don't pay off all the time, but sometimes do.
Anyone who has saved hours of time by pulling out an obscure manual from the bottom of a pile, or recovered data with the help of a rare connector type from the junk closet, is getting partially reinforced.
You can come here and work and live and be a citizen as long as you find someone from here that wants to go back to your country and live and work and be a citizen.
You really think each application is reviewed by Steve Jobs himself? And he then forwards it onto software engineers, and finally a team of corporate lawyers?
Get freaking real.
The apps are reviewed by pool of low paid employees working from simple processes contained in a three-ring binder (my guess).
Some things are going to get done wrong, but for the most part, things will get done right most of the time.
If things do get done wrong, Apple has gotten better about detailing the reasons for rejection, and the developer can always resubmit.
There are over 100,000 apps in the store than do everything under the sun. Many of them free. All of them meet a simple set of minimum requirements and standards.
There is nothing wrong with this picture.
Stop being that @sshole at the bar the claps whenever some wait-staff drops a dish or glass.
While I really enjoyed Jaws 3D and Poltergeist 3D as a kid (saw as a double feature). I'm interested in actual stories and characters now that I'm older.
I'm not looking forward to those upcoming movies that are looking to add 3D as a replacement for writing a good script or having a director with real vision.
However I must disagree with you about Avatar. I thought the 3D effects were just as integrated into the storyline as everything else, and I was amazed how well they were done.
Unfortunatly it looks like we can expect a well-done 3d movies only every few years.
I just spent the past 2 hours playing with a new iPad.
I think the gaming potential is going to be phenomenal.
Stratergy, a pretty good Risk-type game with random hex boards was ported over day one from the iphone, and it looks great.
There's now an online option, but I see sitting at a table with the iPad between players as the way games like this will be played.
(Wipe the cheesy-poofs from your fingers, rob.)
In cases where you need to keep something secret in the game, yes, individual devices or iphones to hold your cards is OK, but that's going to happen after the wave of "sharable" games. Checkers, chess, D&D, Monopoly, Risk. That stuff will happen right away.
Slashdot Mirror
This is the type of case they accept simply so they can shut the door on any gray area.
They are going to rule that the goods can not be brought into the country.
Please don't get your hopes up that this will lead to any sensible IP reform.

Been using iFrames to get around web restrictions since before you lost your virginity...
"People turn Value into Profit. News at 11."
I can't stand that show anymore. Removed it from the Tivo list.
While I have no problem with them poking fun at all things, they never get around to stating their own beliefs.
I think you have to take a stand, right or wrong, if you want your comedy to be important.
Otherwise you're just chucking eggs at people and calling it funny.
Now how are we going to advise epileptics that they shouldn't play video games?
Yeah!

And therefore, will continue to collect.
Here's a better idea:
You can come here and work and live and be a citizen as long as you find someone from here that wants to go back to your country and live and work and be a citizen.
Any app you compile with Xcode you can stick on your device and up to 100 other devices. No submission to apple required.
Any app you write in HTML/Javascript can be used on any device without involving anyone but yourself.
The process has gotten easier, and the feedback clearer, not the other way around.
I have yet to find the app I really need or want that would make be jailbreak my phone.

Focus on something more important.
THIS IS NOT NEWS
I'm with you. This is a stupid article, posted only to get people ranting.
Yes, 3D is a gimmick. We're in for some hype-packed years ahead, if this list of upcoming 3d movies is correct.

You think they're going to stand around while technology replaces them?
That could work, I guess, if only 20% or so if coders read slashdot.
More likely, I think you are saying, is that some of those who think their code-don't-stink are fooling themselves.
The idea the human mind is best understood as a physical object acting on itself, has always rubbed me the wrong way.
While having a basis in fact, it is not the most USEFUL model of the human mind.
It is like a book review that focuses on the number, length, and repetition of words in a book.
Based in fact, yes. But useful? No.
They are for people with other things to do.
The idea you need to be able to build or program a computer in order to use one is as dead as disco.
Sit down with your favorite language and write this one out.
It is actually much easier than you are making it.
Each player gets 7 tiles.
I, for one, would like to see your Scrabble game with 2^32 tiles.
Fair question.

That's the new buzzword in training. VIE's.
However this has been going on for a long time.
The first real problem is that you need to be working with objectives that translate into games and simulations.
Building a game or simulation when the objectives don't fit creates horrible, horrible games.
The second real problem is the proprietary nature of the existing toolsets.
I predict with browser-based 3d (web3D/canvas) along with easy client-server communication (jQuery/webSockets/json), the floodgates will open.
Really?
I would think most people don't care how it shows up as long as it plays when you click it and it doesn't stutter.
Flash was a god-send at a time when Apple, Microsoft, and Real were all duking it out, trying to get users to all use their formats.
The video tag is causing a similar fight now, but I really do see that getting resolved.
.. What "must-have" flash sites are there really?
All I see it used for is:
1) Video
2) Annoying site navigation
3) Annoying whole-site delivery for electronic-brochure type sites
Am I missing out on some excellent flash-based sites?
The only thing that I know of that I really care for that's done primarily in flash is stormpulse.com
First thing you would need, if you really wanted to see if there was a correlation, would be the age distribution of Toyota drivers.
If, perhaps, the distribution looked just like this graph, it would mean nothing.
If, perhaps, the distribution of driver ages skewed to younger drivers, or showed a flat pattern, then you might have something.
Without that baseline, it isn't even worth coming up with theories.
