I only see Blackberry's and Treo's being fully utilized on the corporate level.
The two main uses, aside from cell phone usage, of a Blackberry/Treo device, for these corporate employees, would be e-mail and calendar/appointment book.
E-mail so they can monitor their inbox for important messages and send/reply wherever and whenever.
Calendar to keep track of their meetings and appointments with clients/etc.
Other than that, I really don't see the average Joe utilizing the full potential of the PDA.
Wasn't it our government who engaged in deviant torture pornography at Abu Gharib?
Perhaps those soldiers in question developed their ideas from watching this "deviant" pornography we're speaking of. No excuse for personal responsibility, but something to think about.
I think alot of that has to do with the fact that plumbers charge per-hour (the same applies to carpenters and electricians). So it's simply a matter of building a good client base.
Theoretically, if you ran your own personal business, and could consitently fill in 50-60hrs per week, you'd probably make a good living.
or.... you could do as my friend does, and work for a large company (which he gets paid by the hour) and then do side jobs on the weekend/weeknights. Again, he's built up a good reputation and client base over the years and can fill in those spots for side work.
They might make more than programmers, but they have to put in a lot of hours and build a good client base and reputation. That, topped with the fact that you'll be doing hard physical labor until you turn 65, and have little to no social life because of the amount of hours per week you'll need to put in, doesn't make it as appealing.
To an extent, I wouldn't think it to be very profitable for an anti-virus software company to completely support buggy software. Simply because anti-virus software will always be reactionary. Meaning, if a virus/trojan is discovered, they find a cure. Thus, by having a more secure browser, there will be less viruses/trojans and you can spend less time and less money on reacting to new threats and spend more time on marketing, new features, smoke and mirrors, etc.
I think there needs to be a certain level of viruses/threats available to create a reason for a user to own a piece of AV software but, not so much that you are speding 100% of your resources to develop cures when the originating software could just produce a more secure version.
A guy here does that but the scanner is a little bit higher than his "ass-height". He looks rediculous when he stretches out his legs and stands on his tippie-toes as he presses his ass against the scanner to open the door.
Well, many of the reported spam sites on the map only show 100 emails sent. I don't think it'd be that hard to send more than a 100 emails to a mailinator account (or several mailinator accounts).
Since several people have jumped in with their suggestions, I might as well say that I think this movie is more appropriate.

No, I never suggested that Microsoft had a better operating system, just that they have their operating system installed on more systems than Mac OS does. My question was simply, why?
You say this as if it is a bad thing. I mean, wouldn't you be doing the same thing if you had nothing? I know I would.
Besides, shouldn't our goal be to reduce the poverty level in the US? If the city goes back to the way it was before then we have accomplished nothing.
for people who have not networked (no, I don't mean computer networking)!
The best way to ensure job security is to make friends and get to know people in higher positions than yourself (that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to kiss some ass, but it probably wouldn't hurt).
I don't have any certifications yet I work for a multi-national firm simply because I have friends who know me and have seen my skills. Often times people with lesser qualifying skills get a job over others simply because someone in the firm recommends them, regardless of their certifications.
So all you fresh grands and no-grads out there start networking!
I have the same feeling about poison ivy/oak/sumac. It would be nice to not itch so much from a reaction. I understand that it's natures way of telling me that something's wrong.. but why be so cruel! Argh where's the turpentine!
Depends on the situation. If a 4 star general is attempting to gain access to a protected installation, and a SF/MP member requests his ID, then that same 4 Star is required by law under UCMJ to provide it.
In those cases, yes, card the hell out of them. I think I was referring more to the interaction that goes on inside/outside of the security checkpoints. Situations where a ranking officer's ego might be infringed by being asked for identification.
They may flash (or even show) some kind of ID in rare instances, but for the most part a soldier has to guess if he's dealing with the real thing or not
Yeah, even then.. just think what would happen if a private officer told a sergeant, or any other higher ranking soldier, to flash his ID. There'd be hell to pay for sure. It's almost a lose lose situation.
What you mean steal and patent ? Are you suggesting, that Apple emplyees are dumb idiots that has no clue of the patent process and value to protect their invention ? JM
That or create a solid legal department and throw out a patent for anything, no matter how small or large, and if it fails.. so what.. if it does then good for them.
Does the advertising industry also "lose" money because it cannot track if I am watching their ads on TV?
With digital cable and satelite the way it is now, can't these companies track what you are watching (given that you use their provided cable/satelite boxes) and, therefore, determine if you are tuning into their ads?

I believe the theory is known as the "WON'T ANYONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN"
Wait, wait.. I thought it was KITTENS?

Well, my question then is... if Macs are so good, and OS X is so stable. Why does Windows XP still dominate the OS market?
I think I got a similiar response when I asked a woman for sex.

einstein was awarded the nobel prize for his brownian paper. relativity, published the same year, was all but ignored.
All but ignored? I would say that the brownian motion is in full effect at my office.

1. Steal Apple's technology 2. File a patent before they can 3. Profit!

Actually, I remember playing that game. I loved it! Thanks for the info.
