Leaving the UI to outside subcontractors tells us that these Engineers haven't a clue how to compete in a mature marketplace. Its not about the bits and twiddles.
Bang and Olefson are 3rd tier product marketeers who wait for a market to develop then select the very top_end of each category to differentiate their product from the matrix. In B&O's case they rely solely on design to support their position in the niche.
Patent protection *only* applies to the manufacture of a product. If NTP is not mfgr'g their patented invention they cannot withold the invention from the market by right of patent. Patent protection expressly insures that an inventor reaps the rewards of his creativity in the marketplace by guaranteeing other's may not manufacture and profit at his expense.
The purpose of the Patent process is to guarantee Society that inventions are disseminated throughout the marketplace for the benefit of all, at the inconvenience of protecting those who labored to bring the invention to fruition in the first place with a guarantee of manufacture.
NTP cannot choose to whom it wishes to benefit from their invention (i.e. Gov't). Keep watching, here... more to come in the courts.
Good Day for the Scientists reaffirming belief in Mind over Matter (i.e. Dark). We live in a rational Universe, today, complete with rules and predictable behaviors.
Bad Day for the Creationists sullying belief in Matter over Mind (i.e. Mythology). Their lives are winnowed by one fewer dark unknowns to support their irrational behaviors and flaunting the rules of the known World.
Good on ya, Boys! That's what Albert would think, too;-)
I've read where this Sun release by Google is a gratuitious gesture on Google's part. Ou contraire... Sun bought Lighthouse suite of office apps which were kick-ass compared to *anything* in the marketplace. Lighthouse only ran on NeXT, which translated to no chance of winning seats.
If Sun's web suite of office apps leverage those Lighthouse functionalities, Microsoft has an awful lot to think about. Sun's *The Network is the Computer" could just come true at Microsoft's expense. Lots to see, keep watching...
Harvey Danger's free download "Little by Little" resembles nothing of an Open experiment since they are not going to be posting the results of their Internet revenue.
Confusing "free==open" serves only to foster another blackbox industry like the one its replacing RIAA. Open Music transparently shows the costs (significant) and the returns of doing business in a free market.
pure conjecture can only describe a logic that Jobs is manipulating Moto to pilot an Apple phone spec, later.
Jobs *only* supports, produces and markets that which sells more Apple hardware, period. Rokr *only* sells Music. Jobs benefit is found by association in not fostering a monopoly on the Music Industry.
Jobs will phone in a future Apple iPhone, but you can bet it won't be dependent upon technology not owned by Apple....that's just the way Jobs works.
This was SJ's biggest non-event in history and the first indication that transitioning Apple from bootstrapping an Industry to stewardship over a monopoly isn't scaling well.
Nano will not be the revolutionary form factor SJ wants it to be. Once novelty wears thin. People will want bigger than a credit card for their tune player.
I built the first top secret laboratory for Norton-Christiansen, the worlds largest consumer of industrial diamonds for down hole drilling bits. Their lab lost in the race to synthesize, so I follow with informed interest as the playing field changes dynamics in the business.
Thanks for the backstory... the process of the new material is much closer to N-C's physicist methodology of high heat, high pressure which he failed to realize.
I think you're a little too hard on our poster's enthusiasm. Your points on regulation belie the fact that it Corps support lobbyists to obtain regulation as a means to protect markets.
To serve your argument that VoIP is a non-starter, the all-or-nothing cynicism misses the opportunity. Like the iPOD (its not everything), iPHONE needs only do what it does BETTER than anything else out there. Apple has loads of resources a phone could use over WiFi without carrying voice-alone. Voice could Surprise! still be carrier based (your fav). WiFI integrated with cell phone means music, address book, wiki's, etc...
Mostly what Apple does really well is not technology based superiority. Apple ONLY does what will sell more APPLE products. iPHONE doesn't sell a single piece of Apple product. Apple are a software co. that does hardware which means that they get to integrate (read transparentize) technology where others have to show all the ugly plumbing.
You're right Camera's are a Jobs NO-NO, not because they don't do photo. Camera's violate the rule of identity. Phones are phones/Cameras - cameras. There is little synergy from such an integration.
So anything you're likely to see from Apple next week is going to play well Worldwide, with others and with Apple products. Wifi is in there, its Apple's infrastructure upon which their franchise is steamrolling the competition right now. Oh yeah, it'll work WiFi.
Apple's retooled remember? It pulled the iPhone off the release date the last time. Why? VoIP. Integration with your computer. It'll blow your mind. Apple may even move into the VoIP business model.
by stopping the body from taking them up in the first place. That's right you can eat what you want without any consequences. They're called polymers and they are in your future. Right now they are being designed for specific problems like Diabetes, Anaphalatic shock, etc... Diabetics will consume all the sugar they like, it won't matter. The polymers absorb the sugar before they can do the damage.
P/690 is a unix server class machine.vs. 64bit wide datapath mainframe, son. The difference isn't one of enclosure size but data throughput. Servers employ distributed processing. Mainframes centralized processing. Those are only First Order differentials...
I'd be surprised mainframers sleeping till morning... slipping out with the rest of the employees at 5:00PM.
LOL... you're serious! SanDiego is proposing just that! New runway expansion plan ends at SeaWorld's front door step. 5000 homes are emient domain'd out of the way and an entire business district bulldozed.
The poster gets it right when he says Airports are political animals. Only a Politician could invent this solution when 1000's of acres sit idle only 7 miles North of the existing airport.
I personally know the conveyor mfg'r in NZ. His co is the only serpintine conveyor patent holder worldwide. If your bags go around, that's his system. Early-on he could not get US engineers to respect design limits of his product's radii limitations.
It wasn't just a botched set of expectations. Blatently they designed away in full-face of specifications to the contrary that components had working limitations. The attitude was fix-it, rather than design to product spec.
going to work before the sun rose/to home after sunset - working daily in windowless, temperature controlled environment: not to mention triple lock security to keep people out! Oh that mainframe culture is greying? Good ridance!
...which the author admits up-front that he has 500 bookmarks. The solution to our bookmarked memories, is not another search engine. Silly to think that any search engine could come close to having our every bookmark in memory.
del.icio.us, the abstraction, is half the answer. Apple's "iDrive" is the technological half. What we all need is a *follow-me* resource available anywhere, anytime that is totally abstracted above the hardware layer.
iMarks, personal bookmarks, that load on launch. An open standard downloadable or hardcoded into browsers.
The image is just a CAD mockup, guys. The technology has been going through patent pending proceedings but there is no working product in trial. Only venture capital monies and a couple CAD drawings. I can't believe you guys are scraping vaporware for/.
OPENSTEP the open standard Steve Jobs was coaxed into releasing to the free-market by Sun was a virtual death blow to NeXTSTEP (aka MacOS X).
It both distracted and divided Sun's competition while they put all the wood behind Solaris. Sun bought LightHouse software suite of apps pledging to release an Office Suite for OPENSTEP. At the end of the day, Sun turned out the lights at LightHouse. Irreplacable gems of software had been deep sixed.
FastForward 13yrs., its Linux in the NeXTSTEP role with its Solaris product pledged to the OPENSTEP specification, essentially.
I could not give higher praise to this manufacturer for the quality of build, updates and support of theri communications gear. My ZyXel modem is still going strong.
Tell me you don't work on a computer, at home... boundaries are useless defenses against ubiquity.
Computer's are ubiquitous. There is no longer separation in any meaningful sense for our children. The car that takes them to school has too many computer's to count. The phone she uses works because a computer makes it do so. The TV viewing she watches is almost entirely composed by computers. Her school grade is the product of a computer. The doctor's office has her sign-in by computer. Separation is romantic, noble but unrealistic.
Boundaries were useful in the day when societies were nationalized and people individualized. Work purposed people 8-5 then stopped. Corporations repurposed the organization around the Computer during the 90's. The resultant side-effect removed individuality, character, loyalty, and personal problems from the workflow equation. Now in '00's children are subject to the same repurposing in curriculum to the goals of larger organization.
If computers are ubiquitous - work can be continuous. The Internet makes it so. There are no boundaries the Network cannot cross. There is WiFi and where it can't roam 3G wireless is bridging until wireless it is ubiquitous. Welcome to reality! (or at least a computerized version of the Future)
Slashdot Mirror
Since it hasn't been disproved it is timeless. Einstein would disagree.

At least there is one /. poster who knows the efficiency of LED lighting is only popular myth. They consume the same power but last forever.
