But are they planning on releasing any standalone PDAs, or are they going smartphone-only like Windows Mobile did? I thought they were planning on the latter.
Really, the "minor versions" for Mac OS X would have been worth major versions in their old numbering scheme. They just don't want to give up the "X" moniker.
Why wouldn't you make it charge from a computer? Also, if it has a USB cable (one that they use to transfer my contacts and such), why can't I have drivers to access the data on my phone?
I've had devices that won't charge over USB while they're on, because they're using more power than USB can provide. Have you tried turning your phone off and then connecting it to your computer, and seeing if it charges?
"Automatic changes"? This isn't something the OS is installing via a back door, this is part and parcel of other Windows updates. Either the user chose to install it, or they chose to blindly install all Windows updates. Either way, they got what they asked for.
Steam is usually pretty good about handling a physical disconnection from the network and going into offline mode. It used to be less good about handling an inability to connect, if you were still on a network, but it's possible that they've updated that.
I doubt it's all the resources they have to fight it, but if I were Mozilla, I'd want to see what my $100,000 got me before throwing good money after bad.
Then they're doing something wrong, when they only pay the publisher about half the cover price, and are free to return any books that don't sell. Going from a 50% margin to a 2% margin is a sign of poor management, not any inherent difficulty in the industry.
The problem with encrypting the key via password is that it requires either storing the password in a reversible fashion (not hashed), which is terrible security, or requiring the user to enter the password before locking the system, which prevents inactivity timers from locking the system.
Funny. It wasn't until I got out of college and got a job in a big cubicle farm (okay, middling, 24 or so in the office) where I was forced to used Windows that I went out and bought a Mac.:-P
I'm still not convinced that they'll be allowing people to play stuff directly from the SD card; I think they'll just allow purchases to go immediately to card instead of being forced to download into main memory.

My neighbors certainly seem less ignorant than most Congresscritters do

It shouldn't have taken you hours to find that you needed an Internet connection to play the game, since it said so right on the box.

It's not DRM. It's cheat prevention. Big difference.
Depends on the jury you get.
XCode is now included with the OS, but it's an optional install from the second disc as opposed to an automatic installation.

But that's just the normal Hell. Doesn't he deserve the special Hell, along with child molesters and people who talk in the theater?
Preventing the sale of any technology is not a good thing. The market should be deciding if efficiency matters to them, not the politicians.
0.5-1s on a TV, to lock onto a digital (not analog) channel? You must have better luck than I did buying either of mine.
Including installing hardware 3D drivers?

Also the Unreal Tournament games and Introversion's software. And I believe Prey.
You can not want the government to do that all you want. But all your willpower won't stop them from doing it.
Not many of those have many corporate employers employing more than 5k people I would guess, maybe Detroit?
Not for long, Detroit won't.
As quoted, that just says that Congress can coin money, but doesn't restrain others from doing so.

Rereading my post, I'm guilty as charged. :)
I thought that was what I said; at any rate, it's certainly what I meant. ;)
