They made best handsets. the voice quality, both incoming and outgoing, are still spectacular. not found in any other device. sad that stuff peripheral to actual phone call quality is determining the fate of a handset maker.
I have owned quite a few Nokia GSM telephones and considered them as one of the best also.
My last telephone however is the Google Nexus S, and after a few hours of playing with is I was completely blown away when I spoke to my brother over Skye. The sound quality is on pair with what you get with your PC and a good headset, crystal clear and up-close.
Ranking their own services higher in the results than where they would appear if a single algorithm were applied across the board would then be "cooking."
I think microsoft usually refers to that practice as "compatibility"
There's quite large annual fees on top of that, though. And he won't get those prices unless he is actually registered registrar directly at ICANN. If he's just reselling, then it's close to the actual prices (at least $6-7 per domain).
Michael is the CEO of Simcast Media, an online platform built for a company's clients and their customers. Customers find more information about the companies they're interested in. Simcast is an accredited registrar of ICANN. .
Wow, thanks for showing that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Last I checked Verisign charged $7.34 per domain then there's the $0.18 ICANN fee. So that's $7.52 before the registrar even takes their own cut, and they too need to cover operating costs.
The costs are many orders of magnitude higher than the 20 cents that you claim.
Verisign is a registrar, Michael Gilmour's company is also a registrar, they both only pay 18 cents to ICANN per domain, get it ?
In addition, people like Michael Gilmour get away with paying only a few cents for each domain and then buy them in the thousands when people forget to renew or let them expire, hoping to sell them back with a hefty profit.
And how does he do that?
He has a company that is listed as a "domain reseller" or a registrar, so he only has to pay the yearly fee to the top-level domain management, which is, for example, about USD 20 cents for.com domains.
"Domain parking", usually means tapping into search results of the big search engines and feeding people advertisements in place of the actual content they were looking for. This may be legal, but that doesn't make it "right".

Michael Gilmour is not giving people any more service than someone who buys up all the tickets for a concert and then sells them back to those that want to listen to their favorite musician.
Usually advanced attacks are done by multiple teams. I.e. the Analysis, Compromise and exploit parts might all by done by different teams, and there may even be multiple teams for each task.
So when you find a backdoored SSH and a Linux rootkit on your server you might only be seeing the tools from one team who got lucky.
If you choose to believe some of the articles, it was Microsoft who "broke" this encryption algorithm.
However, if you read the actual research paper the first page explicitly explains the relation between Microsoft and the researchers as "The authors were visiting Microsoft Research Redmond while working on these results."
I would like to phrase it "and nobody in 96 years had this problem."
As technology advances and we get new problems to solve, I completely fail to see why those that first encounter the simple basic questions should be rewarded with a protection to the answers.
Think about this: in the future cars will get internet connections. It is inevitable and many or most devices in the car will be connected live to the internet.
I completely fail to see why anyone should get a patent for writing down the simple "solutions" we can all come up with.
For example, a system, for the police, to identify a car's IP address based on the liense plate. Do you think I should get an patent for that?
How about a system that turns of the car's engine off, at the next service station, if the internet connection is lost?
Give this problem to any group of 10 geeks and one of them is bound to suggest this solution.
But none of them have yet, hence the innovation.
And therein lies the problem with the patent system.
I completely fail to see why it is "innovative" being the first to apply for a patent of something thousands of people can tell you when you ask them about it.
One major contributing factor for infected XP machines to stay infected is that users don't get installation CDs any longer.
Microsoft changed the license years ago so buyers of brand new PCs really don't have any choice, if they want to reinstall their machines, other than taking them back to the shop (and spend $$$) or install a pirated version.
Whatt we are seeing isn't Cyber Warfare, if it really exists, no one has seen a full blown "Cyber Warfare" and can only imagine how much information the adversary will have on "E-Day"
What we are however seeing is "Cyber Espionnage", and believe me, this is a real problem, adversaries are stealing information on a political level that can be used to leverage international negotiations and gain control over national resources (Just check what the Chinese are doing in Africa).
The Chinese "Cyber Army" really isn't a part of the Chinese Army, it is a part of the Chinese intelligence services.
After playing with FF4 for a couple of weeks, I finally grew tired of it and installed Chrome. Chrome still needs a few features, but all in all, it outperforms FireFox hands down.
After playing with Chrome for a couple of weeks, I finally grew tired of it and installed FF5. FF5 has all the features I need and many of those are implemented far better than Chrome, but all in all, it outperforms Chrome hands down.
Fixed that for you.

Is it just me or does it really sound crazy that these are patentable ideas?
Consumers have been quicker to ditch XP for Windows 7 while businesses hem and haw and slowly test a decade's-worth of custom apps on Windows 7.
Consumer's haven't been given a choice..Businesses do have a choice.
Just because 90% of laptops are grey doesn't mean that 90% of people would buy a grey laptop if they had a choice.
Can anyone post a link to the patents that Microsoft is claiming Android infringes upon?
Actually, Iran is one of the currently most active APA (Advanced Persistent Adversary) .
Is there any level on which this decision makes sense in light of Nokia's direction?
Any phone smart enough to run Linux us smart enough to run WP7.
And Nokia? Embracing Linux? After jettisoning MeeGo?
And Stephen Elop? Linux?! HUH?!
Consistency? What's that?
Does Nokia have any strategic direction at all?!
My guess is mass engineer dissapointment with corporate decisions or some other internal war burning in Nokia.

every message you've deleted,
Are you sure this is legal in the EU?
The sooner we can get rid of Flash, the better. Bring on the HTML5, which will have no security vulnerabilities whatsoever!
Exactly, Microsoft removing flash support in the upcoming version of IE will bring us back years in terms of security.

Domains are like real estate. You can buy them cheaply and sell them for inflated price later on.
What's wrong with that?
Like when you buy up all the concert tickets for a show?
