Here's an idea: I bought a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7 in June of last year. I also bought Panic Coda, which is OSX only. Once OSX 10.x comes out that no longer supports my hardware, I can install Debian/GNUStep and continue to use Coda.
I will admit I'm not heavy into Apple only apps, but I'm willing to bet there are many out there that are and this would be a great way of continuing to use things paid for without having to go out and buy expensive new versions of hardware.
Compared to PHP, Java is much faster when it comes to business logic. A combination of PHP for user-facing material and Java for business logic and database interactivity is the best of both worlds solution.
Facebook uses HipHop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HipHop_for_PHP) to convert PHP to C++ to gain some speed advantages. Also, they use a database back-end called HBase (http://hbase.apache.org/) which is written in Java.
Your 1200 users are not the hundreds of thousands the poster is looking at/for. For this, I recommend Java with Cassandra or HBase in the back end. Cassandra (http://cassandra.apache.org/) and HBase are both NoSQL and are limited only by disk space availability. Postgres/MySQL/*SQL can also be used when relational information is mandatory. At work we did some research and found that for large data sets, NoSQL write speeds were an order of magnitude faster than Postgres/*SQL. Those writes included encrypting the data before writing to the database. Read speeds were on par with each other.
but it turns out going from cave to cave while hiding from the Great Satan's minions doesn't make for exciting gameplay.
I understand you're trying to make a joke, but that gameplay idea does sound interesting. You tie that in with the Left Behind universe and you have the beginning something here.
Are these comments not the same as when the iPod was announced a decade ago? Then again I doubt there are Google fanboys (if any) that are as rabid as the Apple ones.
For the record: I own an Android based phone and a Nexus 7, use Google products extensively and I still wouldn't buy this thing.
I have not once opened a Chase bank account, but through mergers and acquisitions they owned 5 of my accounts at one time. Easily the worst bank I have ever had to deal with. But now I know where all my interest charges and late fees went to.
A funny side note...Capital One has done the same thing to me, they now own 3 of my accounts. I hope they're an easier bank to work with if something goes wrong.

It's MIPS based, so maybe they'll move over to an ARM architecture? Or change enough of some ISA to not need a license.
AMD builds a hybrid chip. It uses the ARM core for everyday tasks and then the x86 core when power is necessary. Kind of what Samsung does with their 5 core processor. Add in an AMD graphics core and that would bring some power.
Understood. I'm 100% for this, just to ease your mind:-) I was just concerned that the trial might inadvertently affect someone, but since these are dead vaccines I'm all for this.
To put in perspective, I literally live across the street from the cell tower so I constantly have 4 bars at home. I have it connected to my WiFi when I'm at home as well. I went to bed with the battery at 80% and woke (around 7 hours later) to it at 60%. By late afternoon, at work with 3 bars of 4g, it was at 40% with only slight work/personal email usage. Today I decided to turn 4g off and see how that went. The lasted quite a bit longer with 4g turned off. So my suggestion is to turn off WiFi and 4g when they are not necessary.
Also I'd like to point I do use my phone as if it was a laptop, so if you're not a big app person then your battery life will increase:-)

Try out a BlackBerry 10 OS based device, that's QNX.
And that's why they're discussing this. Maybe by making three different versions there will be more adoption in those areas.
But you wouldn't use those in an office/cloud environment, which is what I think the developers are thinking about.

What's to stop anyone who doesn't want to deal with the violence just fork the Kernel and do their own thing? If you don't like the abuse, fork it!

I wish I had mod points for this.
You are very wrong.

I'm sure Apple will find a way to not pay taxes on it.

You forgot drivers. Oh, and users.

Ok, I'm curious. What did you need from North Korea that you couldn't find anywhere else?

You have to roll the hard six.

We're probably looking at the GPU for next gen Xbox/Playstation consoles, probably in a multi-GPU version.
I had mod points yesterday....I would have given you all of them. I make this argument on a daily basis.

As the Anonymous Coward helpfully pointed out, I was confusing live vaccines with dead ones.
Then Godspeed to you, sir. You are a much better man than I.
Who's the HIV negative subject going to get injected with a Vaccine that could possibly cause HIV? It technically is possible.
And you're surprised by this why...? Because it's HBO instead of GWB? Get real!
