Apple is not the exception. They just fudge the numbers in a different way. Really, they're all bastards though and I don't trust them any further than I can throw them.
How many people in Detroit were out of work once robots started spot welding all the car frames and moving parts into position for assembly? How about Robots in manufacturing in general? Lots of people used to do those jobs. Check out How It's Made sometime. You'll see huge assembly lines full of robots where people used to stand. Hardly anyone walking around.
I've personally seen the labor force in Manufacturing facilities decline due to automated machining processes; 1 or 2 guys running 6 CNC machines where it used to take 6 people to do it manually. Polishing metal to a lustrous finish used to be a skill reserved for the 1 or 2 old German guys in the place. Now, you have CNC polishers do it in 5 different axes nonetheless.
Next, lets talk about how global connectivity has put people out of work. CNC again. You only need one programmer to transfer the machining code to some place in china where a dude running the CNC machine uploads it, puts a chunk of steel on the table , and hits the Go button. For $1.75/hour wages.
Maybe I'm callous, but unless it's some kind of duck-and-run emergency, I'd rather not read about news drama on slashdot. Maybe we need a tag for that.
And they want an internet for them, not you. Works both ways.
Then let them open their own vpn.com and sell accounts to whatever DRM spew they want to pimp to the pants-on-head-stupid masses who will click on anything like it's a friggin whack-a-mole competition.
Looks to me like the fire is contained to the "engine" compartment AND the driver/passengers were able to get out without being engulfed in flames. That's pretty damn good engineering. Also consider Toyota Prius batteries appear to be under the passenger compartment.
430 liters.... LITERS. This is about two 50 gallon drums. The only reason this is making news is because TEPCO's overall problem with radioactive water gushing into the ocean is as catastrophic as BP's DW Horizon - possibly worse -- but they won't admit it.
Web based content is fine for every urban dweller out there with a 3Mb+ pipe but there are a lot of people that barely have 1Mb DSL. Ever try and do a 60M Steam update on one of those sucky lines?
Show them 1" on a ruler. Show them 1/4" increments. It's real easy to see 4 of those make up 1". Next show them 1/8" increments and 1/16" increment. They see pretty quickly how 16 can fit but the marks are smaller even though the number is bigger.
Now they've just learned how to read the crazy US Inch-standard system as well. Pretty handy for growing up in a slack-jawed yokel country who's politicians never let teachers adopt the metric system, but I digress...
Extra credit: show them a meter stick and listen to the gasp at how easy everything is because every little mark takes 10 units to get to the next larger unit of measure.
I don't think we should be fighting the battle of sexist stereotypes by constantly complaining we don't have enough women in IT, or we don't have enough men in day care centers. If someone wants to get into a profession, by all means they should be allowed to pursue that the same as anyone else. Same goes for race. Until people as a culture are truly able to absolve their 'isms all of these "OMG Think of teh ________" campaigns are just a bunch of intellectual masturbation because the root problem still exists. And worrying about it is just another form of sexism, only in reverse. Oftentimes, these campaigns end up tipping the scale in the other direction, marginalizing the prior majority which is *also* wrong (How many places care about health care costs for single males?) I don't see anything wrong with having professions largely dominated by the stereotypical stereotypes. Sometimes they are that way because men are men, and women are women. People should be allowed to choose without the fear of some cultural 'ism pushing them down and that's the core problem as I see it.
Beta uses wayyyy too much content. Ditch the full size pics, use thumbnails or icons. I'm scrolling forever and can't pick out the headlines from the summaries. Too much overlapping alpha-blending
Think simplicity guys. There's beauty in simplicity. You're trying to do too much with all the latest trendy web 2.0 stuff and it's overdone.
If Apple were doing it, rest assured whoever blows the whistle on them would be slapped with a C&D so fast it would make your head spin.
Thing is, Apple may very well be doing the exact same thing but the closed nature of the ecosystem makes it much more difficult to prove. Maybe even illegal. Probably against your licensing agreement.
Maybe all the people using hotmail could pony-up $2.00 for the guy. After all, they are the ones who would really be affected should the domain be sold.
That's a misnomer for methylenedioxypyrovalerone. I'm not saying McAfee isn't a bit off-kilter, but framing the statement as you did needs an explanation. Oh, and and some people do indeed smoke it.
smoking religion on an extreme level causes deficiencies in areas of the brain dealing with logical thought processes and the ability to reason clearly.
An iPhone is the only reasonable choice for a four year old. A gold colored one at that so it doesn't get confused with the other pre-schooler's phones. You should also purchase an iPad II (with accompanying Apple Care contracts for each, btw) in case he wants to surf porn at day-care, or perhaps order a dildo on amazon. He won't need to burn up the battery on the phone for these things, so you'll still be able to contact him.
Really dude, if you are worried about your 4yr old needing to contact you in case of emergency, the make sure they're in the hands or responsible caregivers. If you ex-wife is a neurotic psychopath get the separation agreement amended for supervised visitation in an appropriate setting (eg: no, not your psycho wife's house). If you're just needing to spend a little more time with the kid, take a vacation day once in a while and spend the whole day with them. If you're close enough for it, go over and have lunch with them on your lunch break.
Stop equipping your kids with everything that blinks and makes noise.
I like L4D and Resident Evil as much as the next person but this is an article about growth hormones, the cattle industry and how the byproducts don't dissipate as once believed. I guess if you want hits, just add the word zombie to a page.
I'll second that. This is pretty serious shit and aside from the fact that the NSA and the US gov broke every damn law on the book there are other concerning issues to address here:
- how do we deal with government entities, now and in the future, who operate under secret laws not open to public knowledge?
- are we to disregard the constitution and it's amendments now if the we allow the NSA and related bodies to walk on this one?
- what are the laws we want regarding privatized corporations who conduct "business" with government security agencies?
- do we want to create new laws to protect whistleblowers when organizations (private, public, military, etc) have clearly broken the law?
- how to we determine (alexander) when the line has been crossed with people who are required to lie under oath about the facts?
Or you can just joke about it and hope the next time you have a difference of opinion with the government that your stint in prison is a short one.
- pour shot of tequila - sprinkle dash of salt on back of hand - hold slice of lime in fingers - pick up shot with right hand while throwing salt over shoulder and simultaneously squeezing lime in left eye - While pain in eye has you distracted, toss insect in mouth and chase with tequila.

Plugging your info into a public website makes that info public.

"We want fewer people to die" is a curious position to take?
