Does this remind you of strategies from any other companies?
I was kinda thinking you were talking about Microsoft, but they don't do anything well. Apple cannot be it because they do everything well.
However, this does remind me of Slashdot Does one thing well (dupes) and is bad at everything else (stories, having links work, not/.ing the links, etcetc)
(this post would have been SOO much better if this story was indeed a dupe)
Hu Jintao's was going to visit about a few months ago, but Hurricane Katrina delayed his visit until now. He cancelled it on the last day, and the time before, they were also going to dine at Gate's mansion where they had already prepared the salmon, which were airlifted from Alaska on the same day. Dunno what happend to them.
This just seems like a computer simulated process of natural selection. How will this make cloning come to real life? There is absolutely no way to get this computer simulated process to be viable and used in real life..
1. Computer takes random genome. 2. Changes it and picks closest-looking one to target. 4. ??? 5. PROFIT!
I hope there is no crime that is committed in an ocean. Then a shark will swallow it and we'll see friggen sharks with friggen lazers that measure friggen distances.

If you're showing off a new product in CES, don't you make absolute positively sure that the product actually works? I mean this was a production model, so either all their prodution models are broken, or they got REALLY unlucky and got a bad one.. If it were me though and I was going to showcase a new product, I would make sure that it acutally worked.. Quality Control is your friend..
Yeah, I think that most if not all the 360s work, and the only problem that so many people had problems with their xboxes was because of a bad/faulty PSU. I also don't think that this is MSFT's problem... (there goes my karma) Imagine an assembly line, where people test the xboxes. Every station has a tv controller power supply, and when a xbox comes to the tester, he/she plugs it in and makes sure it works then puts it back in the assembly line and the xbox gets boxed. In the box, there is a defective power supply... There is absolutely no way that microsoft could test the PSU chealy, because the testers would have to have the box with the xbox, plug in the psu, plug xbox in and then test it. That's why they probably have PSU's dedicated to testing. I think the problems that the people have are related solely to the PSUs and nothing else.
Steps: 1. Make patent "Violation of other patents." 2. Bribe patent office to be accepted. 3. Google/Microsoft/etc/etc violates a patent. 4. Sue them. 5. ??? 6. PROFIT!
Some windows viruses do run under WINE. However, they do not affect the system to the extent that windows viruses affect windows systems. They RUN, but mostly nothing else happens other than wasting CPU cycles.
Actually, rootkits go out of their way to be undetected. (Shamelessly stolen from grc.com) "What happens is, they essentially modify the way the OS itself works. They're compromising the operating system kernel. You know, in operating system terminology we have the notion of a kernel, which is the OS core. And then you've got applications which run as sort of clients of that operating system. So a program you're running, you know, Corel Draw or Outlook or whatever, that's a client of the operating system. Well, so are the spyware scanners. So when you're running even a spyware scanner, it's saying to the operating system - in fact, for example, there are two API calls that's "find first file" and "find next file." So if you ever want to, like, do a directory listing, you'll say "find first file *.*," and it gives you the first file. And then you successively call "find next," "find next," "find next," until it returns no more files. That's all there is to it. So that's - so anything that's scanning your system is basically doing that.
Well, imagine if something altered the way the "find first" and "find next" operated, so that it was intercepting the response back to you, out of the operating system, back to any application that was asking, so that if it was about to report one of its own files, it would call - it would say, whoops, and call "find next" again on your behalf, skipping over that file. Suddenly any program running on the operating system will not see any of those stealthed, rootkitted files. They just disappear. "
