Why is it suddenly everything thinks anything apple with touch will turn to gold? Since when has the corporations ever done that?
Yes, apple got lucky with their ipods, iphones & ipads. Lucky, that is all. Some maybe call it smart, visionairy, or some stupid shit like that, but it was lucky. They made products that was easy to use, looked nice, and people loved it.
Now we are talking gaming, consoles and the living room. This isn't a new market, this is an old market that has been fought in the trenches for quite awhile.
Let's look at the options.
Having a game console that uses Ipads as the controller. oh, nm, that is being done by the next Nintendo console. How about streaming games from servers so they end users don't need expensive consoles to run it? Oh, nm, that is done by Onlive. Let's see, how about they make a console that connects to the tv, but connects to Itunes, so you can buy/play your movies/tv/whatever from that? Oh, they already make that and it sucks? And they aren't the only one. Damn.
Are they coming up with some holographic machine that lets us see everything in real 3D Or how about a VR sim that lets us experience the gaming world.
No, apple ain't doing shit in the console market.
This is pure speculation and probably a religous hope that Apple is somehow the Holy Grail of Modern Computing devices. I'm going to guess Gabe probably need to take some insulin before he made those statements.
Agreed. Is this a new policy? How does one get "accepted" to be a submitter? Is there a litmus test? Geek knowledge? Will we have to provide you with our real names ala Google + ?
Just sayin!
Common sense tells me that a "First time accepted submitter" is someone who's submitted articles before, but it never got accepted, and this article is the first time that one of this persons submissions has been accept.
I think that the ISP will lobby the gov to change the bill after the number crunchers get done.
Currtently they will be losing 60 less monthly subscription fees. If they had to cut off all the 650k people, that's a large chunk of monthly subscription money they are NOT getting anymore. For example, here in the states it cost roughly $65 for internet (both cable & dsl charges that for 6-12mbs Internet only subscription here in Seattle), $3900 less just for the 60, but $42,250,000 USD is how much money they'd lose a month if they had to 3 strike all they sent warnings to.
And when it all comes down to everything, it's the money that will win out.
Right. If some bug had been discovered in some open source software and was corrected in 2 hours, the comments on the story would be a circlejerk praising the open source community.
Microsoft realizes there's a bug, corrects it within 2 hours, and it's anti-competetive. Sheesh. They did a good job with a quick fix, can't we just acknowledge success when it happens?
Laugh all you like, but if people actually took that advice a few years ago we wouldn't have AIDS anymore.
That and "Don't share needles".
Spoken like a person who lives in a glass bubble.
We are sexual people. We don't just "turn sex off", that is not how we work.
Instead of teaching Abstinence, we should of been teaching about proper sex health, birth control, and protection, instead of just "hoping" people will not have sex. Because people do NOT stop having sex, no matter how much you ask them not to. Can you grasp that simple concept? The religious freaks haven't.
As for sharing needles, you once again, don't know shit.
Why did people share needles? Because they were so fucking hard to get. Until the last 10 or so years where they have had "Needle Exchanges" and pharmacies adopting of letting anyone buy needles, it was very hard and expensive to get clean works. And when your a junkie, your money goes to your dope, not to making sure you have clean works.
Our policies help made these problems, not the people who were stuck because of the policies.
That fact that you are currently 4 Insightful only shows how stupid most people are about these matters. It's easy to blame others, but the blame lies with all of us for not taking care of the less fortunate in our community, not at them because they have problems that we prefer to ignore.
Some say under ground bus system in Washington DC, some say it's the bus system in Seattle Area.
Some say it's a non gay man who tends to dress good or sort of guess like a gay man, without being a gay man?
So, it's like a good looking bus/subway system?
So the interface of Windows 8 is Metro, which means it looks gay, but isn't gay, and will take you to destination via the long way, crowded with all sorts of others, and some of them smell. Oh, and over charge you. I almost forgot, it's never on time, and when your running a little late, it's early. Always slow and usually a horrible ride.
Okay, now that i work out the details, i understand.
It rains all the time, homeless wander the street, the police beat up small children, gas is expensive, we have a big bed bug problem, there is no public schools for children.
Everything else that is bad, happens here in Seattle. We are overcrowded and have bumper to bumper traffic on our freeways.
Please stay away, we don't need anymore people here.
Not sure if that's true or not, but if the planet had a dense, large, rocky core, it could hold on to a thick, massive atmosphere that's far less dense than liquid water, at least for much of its overall volume.
Saturn is a good example in our own solar system - it has an overall density less than the density of water. If you had a big enough bathtub, you could float Saturn in it.
It would leave a ring, though...
The ring would still be better then what Uranus would leave...
I don't know, in the 90's I used Universities computers to compile stuff all the time. Granted the software ran on their mainframes, and wasn't produced to run on the PC's of the time.
But other then making that point, i agree with you.
... The average NoScript user is further along the educated axis, which generally translates to people with higher wages and more disposable income. It includes early adopters, technology trendsetters, family experts, business technical experts, etc. These are desirable customers, the exact sort of people they'd love to influence with marketing.
...
Where did you exactly get this information? Seems to me, your making it up, to prove a point.
Of all the people I know that use NoScript, they are the lower income bracket, usually not college educated. They can't afford fast computers, and don't have "disposable" income. And yet they use NoScript. How do I know? Because I've taught them to. I took the time to show them the basics of keeping there computers safe, and most of them grasped the concept.
Now, the other people i know, that won't install NoScript, or turn it off, are the people that have money. They will buy new computers when theirs gets "too slow" and they like to have all the bling going because it makes them feel good, or something. But I don't care, because these are the people I make money off, by cleaning their systems out.
Granted, my views are of what I experience, but it is totally opposite of what you are claiming.

Bump, bump, bump.
Another person bites the dust.
Happens everyday, many times during the day.
While I learned my C from Ritchie & Kernighan, I am not surprised to see you die.
Thanks dude, hope it was a great ride, see ya next round.

The yearly cost for those 650k peeps?
$507,000,000 USD. Half a million.
Greed vs Greed, who will win?
-1 for the RTS (unless it has a good story), +1 for the RPG
Since when do RTS really have to have a story? It's a fucking strategy game. You don't need a story, you just need decent mechanics.
If your playing RTS's for the story, you are gaming wrong.
Will Brazil's workers commit suicide, or kill their employers?
Can't wait to find out. Hopefully the latter because the former is just a waste.
Protip: When you do kill your employers, record it and share it on the internet.
cults are stupid.
if you want to name yourself something stupid, i don't care. Stupid people do stupid shit because they are stupid.
Really? If you could time travel, you would have assassinated Hitler?
Nope.
If i could time travel, i'd make it my mission to go back and beat the shit out of fucked up people in history.
Hitler? I'd probably go back and beat him up as a kid, sheesh, he might deserve a few visits during his timeline.
Ronald Reagen? I'd hit him so hard he'd go senile.
Let's see, who else deserves a historical beatdown. there we go, new reality series!!!!
"Historical Beatdown!!! The only show where you can pick a MMA athlete to go back in time and beat the crap out of some famous person!!!!
Didn't like Joan of Arc? Get Cristiane (Cyborg) Santos to show her a beatdown like she's never experienced."
now that's TV i could watch.
So google is driving samsung away by what, not suing them? (because, you know, apple buys parts from samsung, but is suing them also).
Right. If some bug had been discovered in some open source software and was corrected in 2 hours, the comments on the story would be a circlejerk praising the open source community.
Microsoft realizes there's a bug, corrects it within 2 hours, and it's anti-competetive. Sheesh. They did a good job with a quick fix, can't we just acknowledge success when it happens?
You must be new here.
I'll clear them off for ya, sheesh, i'll rewrite data over 9000 times if it makes ya happy, but let me have the drives.
I'm poor and destroying useful hardware hurts me.
... my daughter ... my wife ...
Are they hot?
So, I guess the old formula:
(old patent) + "on a computer"
is now:
(old patent) + "on a smartphone"
Guess i got to keep up with the times.
Laugh all you like, but if people actually took that advice a few years ago we wouldn't have AIDS anymore.

Would you be okay with your mother, wife, or daughter performing in the local theater's production of Hamlet?
Would you be okay with your mother, wife, or daughter performing in a porn flick?
Hell yes.
.... more than there are atoms in the universe.
prove it.
They should be suing the pope, after all, he has the ear of god, right? And he's right there in Italy.
Wait, maybe there's a conspiracy against scientist here. God is getting revenge.
What does metro actually mean?
Some say under ground bus system in Washington DC, some say it's the bus system in Seattle Area.

Do NOT WANT.
thanks
Stay the fuck out of seattle. Do NOT move here.

"the Metro style browser in Windows 8"
METRO!
Not the desktop-IE.
Reading, guys, reading...
Does that mean it's not gay, but looks like it?
Or does it mean it's gay, but trying to sound cool by using a different name?
...
Fuck Microsoft, and fuck the horse that rode in on them.
I think you meant:
Fuck Microsoft with the horse they rode in on.
