Email is a protocol, wireless a standard. The two physically and conceptually unrelated constructs were conjoined by the act of inventing a utility for the combination of the two.
You're confusion results from never having experienced a world in absence of the two. The foundation of an invention's claims are in the absence of prior knowledge (art) in public domain. Your logic would have an inventor of making pigs fly discredited simply if pigs existed and flying exist prior. Prior art requires finding "flying pigs" or in this case "wireless email".
There is such a large discrepancy between the weight of SUV's and passenger cars that no amount of high tech engineering can overcome the Laws of Physics. Forces transfer from the larger vehicle to the smaller vehicle to occupants. The greater the discrepancy in weight the higher number of related fatals.
Lighter weight vehicles reduce forces. Regulate vehicle weights regulates fatals. Legislate vehicular separation distances, travel lanes and routes by weight quantifies risk of fatals. Mandate high tech improvements to 100 year old safety designs in braking, steering, and traction reduces the number of fatals in survivable accidents.
Or Die... for 100 years we have produced bigger, faster, quicker, and more expensive. Options exist rather than continue the mayhem, pollution and profits.
Let's see Mobile Phone service monthly expense = $ 90.00 + 7.00 for downloading radio? Oh, Sirius SatRadio monthly too? Hmmm... I don't think even post GenX'rs are this math challenged to recognize usury rents when they see them.
iTunes has plenty of Brandwidth left to modulate its value-add to the music stream. Jobs can invent, who'd thunk?, iTDR digital radio streams in a heartbeat. Then there is the innovative concept of iTHF, Hi-Fi AAC which really delivers the sonic equivalent of CD.
MOT has very big chunk of their brand on the line here for very short stakes at the table of digital content delivery services. MOT is really just appeasing their existing client base of wireless carriers who push Motorola products.
As if MS has more and better things to do than support their own product in the marketplace, now we have a spokesperson confusing Gratuitous Sympathy with Open Source!
The whole concept of Open Source is to free the marketplace from unsupportable code, its expensive maintenance contracts and non-extensible feature drift.
Everything Open Source needs exists but the IE compatibility layer. Code up an IE compatibility layer and IE monopoly goes away.
As a wise man once told me, "its not important that you downloaded in 10min, 1min, 30sec or 1.5sec. The revolution happened when you got what you needed 'today'. Today defines the telecommunications revolution"
This post cuts pretty close to the truth. MS has to produce tools that Industry needs. Industry doesn't need CS majors pulling down megabucks salaries just to keep the organization running. Industry needs $25K/yr, first-year grads who can do some programming. This is where I read MS.NET is on_target.
Obj-C's real problem is that few have the resources of Jobs to make an Obj-C language play, strategic and cost effective. The few that do, Apple makes it impossible to "one off" your own objects without the obsolescence risk or license restriction into the future. Its at this point, decisions are made-safe and.NET et. al. get short listed.
When Jobs says that Obj-C is perfect, in the service of Apple's interests the language_is_perfect.
Google Print, for instance. Googe Images. Google News. All have attracted lawsuits.
Pretty glittering gereralizations!!! I'm trolling for someone to backfill us in on the details that represent the pattern you've identified for our actor in our interests, Google.
I'm not aware of Google as activist for individualist causes. There's a story here if this is true
You have no idea comparing the Treo.v. BB. If you needed a reliable platform, that didn't require human-synching behavior to make work like push email you'd be talking about BlackBerry.
You have time, money and resources to make a PDA trick you into thinking you have realtime push email if you learn to dance with it. Sheesh... talk about Cheap Charlies on/.
A case... which without proof that they are actively pursuing the development of their technology is shakey. NTP have proved they are willing to blackmail the market for using its technology. Licensing to Visto takes the BlackmailMonkey off NTP's back and positions their IP in terms of serving a marketplace.
I don't think it serves their RIM case but is a firewall defense to future litigants.
Time marches on... missing is the R&D investment sucked out of RIM to advance their platform. The NTP litigation has done that. What you have in your hand is circa 1996 technology. Missing by todays standards: color, backlight, speakerphone, pda functions, etc...
What you are missing is that despite the shitty earpiece design RIM got the BusinessClass form factor right. What you are missing is that despite T-mobile's loser Blackberry plan, the functionality RIM got right for the BusinessClass.
RIM spec backlit greyscale Blackberry, great earpiece, spkrphone, AND built-in pager functionality are the minimalist specs that reflects 2006 US BusinessClass. No games, ringtones, bluetooth, PDA etc... just bog standard communication device.
RIM when communication counts delivered. Forget all the toys...
This is too funny. I've spent the last two months researching a new band format. Bought tons of iTunes, scraped lyrics sites and picked winner's. Then tried to find Sheetmusic...
No one buys Sheetmusic for lyrics! There are no sites to buy from. Oh there are the marching band, orchestra and random Pop music sites. But there are no sites supporting the software product that is sold into the marketplace.
I like it when unexpected things happen and science can't explain it. Status quo is upset and knowledge gets a chance to reorder thinking. Now that bit in the experiment where the *jet* behaves in well defined boundaries informs us that there is more than meets the eye! This is the part of Science where it is challenged by its dictum of "observable" facts.
So how long is the Discipline going to be constrained by the human eye? How much experimental information is lost in the reduction to an observable medium?
The novel idea of a formal Music Market is not terribly inventive and solves nothing. Digital music ala iTunes-sytle breaks down at the point that Fair-Use meets Fair-Price. When that fixed price $0.99 song won't transfer to your desktop, copy to disk or reformat the iTune scheme falls apart.
Add a button in iTunes for pay-to-play songs in other formats, computers, etc... and Fair-Price is at the service of Fair-Use.
this kind of posting is what comes from kids fresh out of school facing the blunt reality that they are standing on a field laid down by those who came before them. They dislike losing, and they sure as hell don't like being late to the party.
Well, grow up, son. There's plenty of intellectual property for the taking in the World. You just have to get your hands dirtier than at a keyboard if your going to get into the play.
Need help? Cure cancer, malaria, diabetes, aids,... or there's global warming if you really want to stretch your horizons... and if that is too limiting the kids in the physics lab are puzzled with StringTheory.
There is no diplomatic way to phrase this..xxx tld isn't populated by corporate citizens such as FordMtrCo, Reliant, Sony, etc... There is historically dubious funding sources and structures behind the business we refer to as porn. In the post-modern era, post 9-11, the funding mechanisms for non-state sponsored actors in global politics is troublesome. There are infinite reasons to NOT "just open the floodgates" when you have no idea what it is that you are releasing. Someone should have a say in guiding those billions of dollars when the chance of those monies being siphoned into criminal enterprises is very real. Also real is the money laundry function these could serve to legitimize criminal transactions with virtual revenue streams. Individual consumers aren't making the buying decisions as you postulate and it is naive to think of the market from the bottom-up.
This letter is no more newsworthy than any other piece of correspondence in the trove of diplomatic communications that exist. The fact that it is so "NOT" revealing, moves the spotlight to the original poster and his motives for the "SPIN" he chose to use in foisting this drivel up to/.
Isn't there a bullshit filter for this kind of spinmeister? There is nothing to comport with the original poster's contention that this commuique is anywhere close to the historical import to which he ascribes the document. Just pure bullshit!
Reminds me of the elitist whiner's who were making snickers at Americans buying flourescent velvet Elvis pictures in Mexico and bringing them back to the states as "artwork" to hang on their walls.
A noted American artist interjected: "art appreciation has to begin at some level, they will become more educated, more selective and more discriminant as they continue wherever they choose as their starting point in art - its all art".
WTF... it just shows one indicator Jobs is not watching the shop anymore. What a brain dead unimpressive move on the market. Whoever's joianes is on the chopping block it will be interesting to watch the axe fall when Steve nixes this one.
OK now, If this is the best Apple has to come up with for moving the brand forward into the future, I'll submit my resume. Geesh...
This is the oldest business case conflict since com-priv newsgroup of the early 90's bantied it about. The Bells always fight to restore their golden metered usage oligopoly while entrepeneurs see "value-add" revenue opportunities from the commons model of the marketplace with equal access creating a free market.
What we are seeing is hybridization of the infrastructure resources with multiple pricing and access schemes where users will have to choose the model that best suites their situation. Its capitalism, progress and the free market in action.
Does anyone find it at all ironic that an ex-media figure and ex-gov't official is in conflict with what is rightfully freedom of speech? Putting aside the direct democracy model of wikipedia, isn't it ironic this man's libel claim is example " numero uno" against pubishing models that have no authoritative "voice".
Wikipedia reading and reference material this year is "banned" from the San Diego Public School System. Students are taught to "not" use Google as well. Reference material is only acceptable if cited from the official school "eLibrary" online system.
There's a rip-tide pulling democratic society freedoms to the watery depths...
Safari is crashing repeatedly, and reproducibly on a PB. I've been pumping Apple reports for two weeks on their crash catcher. Another iBook running Safari is unaffected, running a lower ver of MacOS X.
Is there an opposite effect like a NGF killer protein responsible for modulating behavior in humans in the absence of love? Does that mean that people going through divorce, love lost, heartbroken or the Thrill is Gone are equally biologically driven by some whigged-out molecule?
BusinessWeek is known as the "kiss of death" in the business community. You don't want BusinessWeek to focus on your company, because their format is to negatively-analyse it into the ground.
The poster who analysed Google similarities to "content" providers (aka Newpaper, TV, etc...) in the analog world has the last word on this article.
Ignore BW, they won't go away but your worldview won't have to filter their bullshit if you don't buy it.
the code is a minimum standard which all building materials must conform. In the instance where no minimum standard exists (ie. new product), a standard must be submitted, tested and approved. Years, if ever, are required to make it into the "code". Where no compelling reason exists like Health and Human Safety reasons the code will remain silent, usually. That leaves the manufacturer lobbying the "Industry", submitting UPC approvals and establishing "standards" for measuring compliance-to-code.
The last great revolutionary product entered into the plumbing code was "polypro pipe" which was supposed to obsolete copper pipe. It later earned the name "weepy pipe" when thousands of polypipe installations began to leak through the walls. The materials inherent property to leak relegated it to the category of irrigation piping for watering gardens.
It will be a dry day in hell for waterless urinals to make it into code.
