And look how it failed despite the fact that it was just one of the many programs that were available for use on the CueCat hardware, which also allowed you to access the internet, make phone calls, and listen to mp3s.
The software involved is not made by Google but rather a third-party. Presumably the search will dump the barcode info into whatever search engine that was programmed in. Considering the sheer number of programs duplicated for the iPhone (and that requires a $99 entrance fee), I imagine it won't be long before you can search with whatever engine you can think of. And then someone will add a plugin interface to one of those clones, which will allow usage with the remaining engines you haven't thought of.
DTV also provides fewer stations than analog in my area.
Fixed that for you. Where I am - the SF Bay Area - the number of channels has doubled. Blame your local ABC and CBS affiliates for not doing digital transmissions yet, or for low power/bad broadcast tower placement.
Flash-based VoIP... this is the service that was used to get around the VoIP restrictions on the airplane Wi-Fi on American Airlines. If China ends up blocking all Flash traffic, there's going to be maaaaaaaaaany pissed off office workers...
If theoretically there was a system that was like this one in every respect, except that other one at least had safeguards in place that would prevent the inclusion of toddlers onto a no-fly list, wouldn't this one be even dumber?
1) Apple claims in its ads that 'all parts of the internet are on the iPhone'. 2) The iPhone cannot display Flash or Java 3) Flash objects and Java applets are parts of the internet 4) From 2 and 3, we conclude that the iPhone does not, in fact, have 'all parts of the internet'. 5) Therefore, in some sense, the ad is not true; UK ASA decides to pull the ad on that basis.
This has nothing to do with sites that want to cater to iPhone users, or other phone manufacturers. Palm, with their crappy browsers Blazer or Pocket IE, does not advertise its phones as having 'all parts of the internet' so nobody complains about their ads. In fact, the complaint NOW isn't even about the iPhone itself. The problem is the AD about the iPhone.
It is Apple who claimed in their ad that they have 'all parts of the internet' when it isn't the case; that is the problem.
You're still missing the point. I get alone fine without Flash, but other people want to use Hulu, non-YouTube Flash video sites, etc. Apple claims 'all parts of the internet are on the iPhone'. If a web site on the internet has Flash, that part will not be accessible on the iPhone. Therefore, THAT part of the internet is not on the iPhone. Then, it is shown that not ALL parts of the internet are on the iPhone.
This entire tiff is pretty easy to settle: DON'T CLAIM TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN YOUR ADS. Done.
"No, no one has directly claimed to know the mind of God, but by claiming you know exactly what happened in the past. Claiming fact when it is just a theory. That Is when scientist cross the line."
Really? Then I guess you have no problems with the Big Bang THEORY then. Because that's what it IS, a theory. Now, there are theories that are more likely than others. And when a theory has stood up to challenges for a long time, sometimes scientists will slip and consider it as a fact. But if you nudge them a bit, they will remember that it is a theory. What bothers me is that many religious folks think Science is trying to take over the What, How, and Why. It isn't. What's wrong with God starting the Big Bang? What if that was what "Let there be light!" meant?
"In the old testament it does though talk about God gifting people with gifts. So in a way it does talk about these three mentioned things indirectly, but you have to think about it a little bit."
If you're going to make extensions and interpretations like that, then this discussion was over before it began, since people can find a way to extend and interpret anything they like. At least, that's my understanding of why there are so many sects of Christianity; that's an entirely different ball of yarn there.
The problem isn't that Apple isn't perfect. The problem is that Apple has a habit of pretending everything is perfect. For instance, how long did it take Apple to fess up to the first generation iPod nano exploding battery problem?
Perhaps. But once you have a whole lot more electrical vehicles on the road, you move from millions and millions of fossil fuel-burning engines to tens of thousands of fossil fuel-burning power plants. Then you just need to replace old coal power plants that are no longer operating efficiently with new solar, wind, or nuclear power plants.
What? Were you thinking this would all happen in a year or two?
It might be a more difficult thing to use if only because it's a different model of thinking. With a trackpad (I assume you meant trackpad instead of mouse because most laptops don't come with mice), moving a certain distance (and perhaps in a given amount of time) will move the cursor a certain distance on screen. With the trackpoint, *applying a certain amount of pressure* for a certain amount of time will move the cursor a certain distance on the screen. People who can (and prefer to) deal with that like the trackpoint better. I just prefer not having to moving my fingers a bit, lift them from the trackpad, and then move them again as necessary. The only irritating thing about trackpoints (to me) is how the trackpoint tips wear out.
Actually, the act bans the US government from doing ANY business with countries that supply tech to Iran. It's not just an ISS thing, though that happens to be the issue at stake.
Funny. I wasn't aware any scientist claimed to know God's mind.
Also, forgive me for asking - it's been a while since I've studied the Old Testament in any serious sense - but where in Genesis does it mention quantum mechanics? The Theory of Relativity? Fluid mechanics? It doesn't? Well, I guess none of those three exist either...
I did turn off the clicking (which I found irritating when typing at high speeds).
Whenever I started typing, I would tell myself to stop pressing too hard. While it worked in the beginning, I'd go on auto-pilot soon enough while thinking about what I was writing.
Not offended, just mildly amused since I'm typing this on a Fujitsu P1620 (has a passive digitizer) and a Treo 800w (ditto). Despite what some of my detractors may have said, I have found that it IS possible to touch the screen on an iPhone too lightly. Oh, sure, the phone could have been lagging every single time I touched it really lightly. Doubt it though.
With the 800w, the resistive touchscreen is just flexible enough that I can feel the give when I tap on something. The touchscreen of the Fujitsu has palm-rejection technology (for inking with), so I end up having to use a fingernail when I use my fingers on the screen. The fingernail itself flexes a little bit, providing the feedback I need.
I remember that on some car audio receivers they had touchscreens that gave you the sensation of something pushing back when you pushed buttons. Don't remember how they did that, but at least for typing I feel that would be more optimal.
Yes the keys on most physical thumbboards are smaller than the iPhone virtual thumbboard (usually in the vertical axis). The difference? On thumbboards like the Treos, they're slightly rounded, so you can feel the separate keys. Even if your thumb covers up three keys (as mine does all the time), you can figure out which direction to nudge your thumb to activate a particular key.

Oh wait, it wasn't.

I would say that digital audio players has been around for hundreds of years. Think player pianos and music boxes.
No, no, no; you've got it all wrong. It's not your rights that are being managed; it's the company's.

Solution... an "accidental" release of large amounts of ammonia or chlorine from a factory?

I believe that flourinert actually can hold quite a bit of dissolved gas, compared to water. The waterfall design should help re-aerate it.

Stupid is subjective? While I've heard of "child soldiers", please explain what ISN'T stupid about a system that prevents a TWO YEAR-OLD from flying.

Heh, no. It's 'atheism', as in 'a-the-ism'. Nice try though.

Not bullets. People. Or do you really believe that murder would vanish if guns disappeared?
Perpetrator - Tool - Target
"People use religion to justify killing people."
"People use guns to kill people."
"Of course, I'd settle for a trackpoint instead of a touchpad."
Considering the average consumer's reaction to a trackpoint.... never going to happen (sadly).
