Considering it's not a live365 agreement, I'd agree that you're correct. Did you not realize this?
It's not about live365. I'm saying that live365 is bundled in as part of the agreement instead of paying a monthly cost per user and is instead thrown in for free. It's the only reason you'd see live 365 in enterprise in a microsoft setup, because otherwise google applications is both a: cheaper, b: more flexible and c: more capable/cross platform friendly.
what makes you think this doesn't apply to any trade blacklist globally?
The market is no longer "us centric", so any trade blacklist just makes it worse for us. Who would do business by choice with a country that is blacklisting (and blackmailing) countries into being the same kind of failure they are becoming?
Tyler's concept is like "it didn't work for me, so it can't possibly work". Aside from the fact that free e-cards don't really have any premium demand, is this much of a surprise?
He did a horrible job and blames his customers? I'm glad this guy isn't going to continue developing, not that he ever did anything I'd call development in the first place.
It's that exact agreement. They don't say "don't use free or open source software" they just say "don't use any of our competition". It throws in the whole microsoft suite (office, sharepoint usually in the face of wikis or better solutions, live365, etc), always with the argument of "we have a MS specialist to help you migrate" (even if that won't fix problems).
agreement cost = substantial. cost of all the microsoft stuff non-agreement = easily 10x as much.
So you see corporations sign up for this agreement as fast as possible if it's a good MS sales rep, even if it's a horrible long term outlook as any company smart enough to look down the road would know you never, ever want to rely on a single vendor for everything as that's a single point of failure.
Why should you need to be able to put the phone into a positive charge, aka "lots of power"?? Generating enough power to simply neutralize standby or even diminish it is incredibly significant by itself and could probably add anywhere from small amounts of time to substantial ones merely by basically adding a small amount of charge from solar energy.
please. it doesn't affect investment in any fashion. that's just a focus on the false reality that was created here.
locking a phone to a carrier is an effective monopoly given to the carrier on that particular phone. That doesn't create investment, it stifles progress. It is exactly this which has skyrocketed the price of unsubsidized phones from around $500 to almost $800. Don't think people aren't aware of that bullshit.
please, let us continue to enjoy his cretinous existence and villify it further, so that he may enjoy the karma which he still cannot acknowledge.
I'm pretty sure that unless this guy hits rock bottom (which he won't), that he will never learn from this experience. The wholehearted lack of apology and the "I haven't lost clients" part basically shows that he hasn't learn shit from this.
Just because they're engineers and good at their specialty doesn't mean they're good with IT. Some are much better than the average user, but it's definitely more of an outlier and not the norm.
It all goes back to the "tell them what they need to know and more only if they can comprehend it" part of IT anyway.
Where does this even come from? The credit card numbers were given to stratfor. That's for security analysis. Where do you make up this collateral damage crap here?
Do you really use the same credit card to sign up for security analysis as you do for donating to red cross, even if you're the government? I doubt it.
well, technically we have no unofficial religion nor was it established off one. Separation of church and state as well. Freedom of religion is exactly that, a lack of definition of religion. So no, the US isn't established on god and religion. The "under god" within our "pledge" hadn't even been added until the 50s, and was brought around by a christian organization (boy scouts).
So it's the fault of the people in power bringing religion into matters when they have no business doing so.
It's kinda like bringing politics to people who don't understand it, and creates the same problems.
What? Let's start with the article. The article's focus is completely off - there's nothing windows can do to simply be relevant, and focusing on "how can we get marketshare" shows a complete and utter misunderstanding of the entire market and asking the wrong question. The first question should be "how can we make a great phone with a great experience". Not "why aren't people buying this"? That by itself has already been answered, which is significant market data research given in the form of a failure in the market. Had they not been moronic they'd have gone back the drawing board and come up with better competition by now. This shows that they don't want to look at their own market data and are still in the "la la la our products are great" stage of denial, aka "we're trying to do the apple reality distortion technique".
For your comments: Windows mobile is a subpar OS. Android is an infinitely moddable user interface but stock tends to be completely and utterly crap.
Also, Gmail (and any email program) will cache the last 20 or 50 emails so that you can open them and read them without any data connection whatsoever. By the time you've received notice of the emails they've already been preserved. You can create a draft with no connection, and it will pull the contacts from your contact list.
The GPS works without any form of data, you can cache any area manually yourself or use an app that already has map info. This isn't any different than any other navigation device, whether a GPS device or a cellphone. Also, you have 3 forms of GPS (AGPS, S-GPS and location triangulation explicitly by mobile) as so it's practically impossible to not have a signal - even in the middle of a forest. you might not have a map, sure, but you will have gps and a compass.
However, every phone's hardware is different, notably. If you had the samsung vibrant for example, you basically have a not completely accurate GPS. So every phone will be different in how well it works.
I get the point here, but I'd say that software patents and the original agreement and intentions of patents vs today's patenting are so far out of wack I don't know where to begin.
I mean how does a patent fund progress these days, also considering that patents don't disclose source code, for example? Did I miss any other part of the original patent promise which is no longer upheld?
When people say "abolish software patents" they probably would be more accurate for the attorneys if they said "change the patenting structure for software", but then again abolish is a strong word I suppose. Truthfully if software patents were in the 3-5 year range the issue of simply being able to obtain them wouldn't even exist. It does (and it has been proven through studies) slow down innovation in technology.
Courts are also not known to favor companies that are based out of other countries, when they're trying to litigate us companies. Not to mention when the patent wouldn't be valid in their own country makes quite a statement here.
not when they quote Florian Mueller in the first few paragraphs of the article, they don't. Questionable patents should have told you that outright - this is driven by pure greed.
because people are too shortsighted to realize that a: you're buying a consumer grade drive and b: people think that if they get the "bad one" that fails early, that all drives of that brand are bad.

importance of sports tv rights?
you do realize that they don't even own the broadcast, say if someone were to record from an apartment next to the field?
sports tv rights are the definition of part of the problem.
why should we? they've been convicted of antitrust repeatedly, and again in the latest wordperfect case.
Actually, there's more comedy.
Who do you suppose might be able to use these once they fall to the ground (even if disabled, anything short of being blown up)?
Hint: the party you're spying on.

You kidding?

I'm not sure if I'd like to buy a vowel or an adjective, but can you try that one again in english?
Namecheap is much better and has been mentioned repeatly in the previous articles, and is a viable and more customer friendly alternative to godaddy.
have you looked at the list from htcdev? I'm sure there may be a couple, but the list is pretty big.
except that all of the devices before september 2011 were already unlockable...thus you are not sol.

sure it does. it's called density changing
Keep in mind that the terms are a bit obscure so you probably wouldn't know this if you didn't look in the right place.

They already have a microsoft con. It's called "the legal system".
hahaahaahahaha what?
Reintroducing windows 3.1 is a game changer?
benefit? That's a pretty funny word.
I don't think you understand what taking away advertising and eyes is for. hint: it doesn't benefit them, they just think it does.
