isn't calling employees "resources" part of the problem that leads to the acceptability of the lack of loyalty to staff shown by many short-sighted companies?
Sony's tape walkman was entrenched as "the" product to get for over a decade but if you compare the look, bulk and sound over the period before CDs they got a lot better. I'd expect such incremental improvements in the iPod to keep just ahead of the pack...
I'd have thought blackberry was the mega-success rather than the iPod. Maybe not in therms of up-front price but considering the monthly spend on corporate subscriptions for those things, got to be higher than the ongoing sale of tunes etc.
Both wrong I'm afraid - both ampersand and ampersat were creations of the early type-setter Joerg Friedrich Ampers, who introduced moveable type to Denmark following the success of the German Gutenburg bible.
That is better than leaving the situation the same. (Assuming no negative effect on the remaining poor)
Although I was thinking of absolute poverty in a more Rawlsian sense - i.e. the position of the poorest in society.
On reflection, I disagree with the contention that India is becoming more unequal; it has always had the super-rich (the Tatas and the former maharajas). With the growth of the middle class, wealth is being spread from the 1% to the 10%. Of course it is also important to raise the standard of life of the 90%, by keeping inflation low and improving the social infrastructure. But where are the resources to come from? Tax the rich, sure, but not so much that they leave.
One of the most affordable carriers in the UK is 3. All their phones are 3G. They took a while to take off because at first the phones were quite bulky but now they are making serious inroads.
Most of the applications like watching a clip of today's news, cricket, etc are extra though... quite cheap at 50p a pop but can mount up quite easily.
Most people's science teachers told them that glass is a viscous liquid at room temperature, and that is why windows in old churches and houses are thicker at the bottom.
Just an anecdote to show why sometimes it is worth going that bit further to find out yourself, which with open source software you can...
If Lego really are building a system called Quatro, might they not run into trouble with Quadro - the system that lets you build your own climbing frames, slides and other life-size kit?
[In America...] While in custody you have the right to humane treatment, the right to remain silent and the right to contact a lawyer, a family member, or the like for help. But that is pretty much the limit.
That's bizzare. Here in Britain we have not historically had any constitutionally guaranteed rights, however a prisoner on remand retains all their rights other than those necessarily removed from them by the fact of their incarceration or specifically removed by legislation. I would have assumed that in the Land of the Free protections of the innocent would be even greater...
I assume you mean it is illegal for the French iTMS to forbid access to UK customers, not that it is illegal for UK customers to buy goods from France!

How bizzare: I work in the world's second largest legal market - London - and have not come across anyone using wordperfect files.
Is it a US thing?

I'm posting to slashdot by hand written letter you insensitive clod.
It's either critical or it isn't. "Extremely" is redundant.
A country that can be called totalitarian by tis citizens is not totalitarian.

Is wider economic disparity bad?
Surely what is important is a reduction in absolute poverty?
He probably didn't have the money or the insurance to sue, considering he was working at Starbucks.
But is this really the market? Isn't Apple competing in a market for recorded music generally?
Even within the narrower market, they are a new entrant and have serious competitors - unlike Microsoft in the desktop PC market.

Nokia seem to be working with Apple on the 7280:
from the site you linked to:
"Nokia Collector supports synchronization with Apple for photos, audio files, and video clips"

Actually, he probably can tell if it is working, just not whether what works is the treatment or the placebo effect...

the ability to access almost 1,000 CDs at any one time
The iPod only has one stereo jack...
The problem with irony on the internet is that someone will think it needs correction. Sigh
Doesn't this require shareholder approval first? What if someone came along with a better offer?
You can buy American music in the UK only if you pay import duties - that's why CDs have those little import stickers on them.
You let other people hold your iPod? Gross...
