Yeah, the speech synth could be set to read off the screen. The speech recognition was pretty interesting too. Not to mention you could control X-10 style outlets with the cassette port.
And I used that computer to figure out Sprint's pass codes for their dial through long distance service.
They block tethering easily - that is until you install the Easy-Tether app on the phone. It's ten bucks but lets you use the 4G LTE connection. I'm still searching for software that'll make it a Wifi hotspot though.
Ike Eisenhower is spinning in his grave. He warned us about the Military/Industrial Complex - of course he waited until he was leaving office to do so. But he did warn us. And what did we do, nothing. Of course it is in the interests of the arms industry to keep one upping, that guarantees a continual profit scheme for shareholders.
Yup - all tiled! So I guess that's why Apple doesn't pursue that aspect. When you think about it all you can really patent is your software per se. The UI and the hardware physical is only constrained by modern physics.
When they started telling people via the media that 38 Studios was coming to Providence that it was going to end in disaster. I mean, who the hell thinks a baseball player has any business experience? For example, I've been in the I.T. field for 20 years and I wouldn't even begin to think I could lead a team to create a game like that. But former Governor Carcieri, the Embarrassment got star struck and moved his administration to make the deal.
I have a Samsung SCH-R910 - in fact it does more than the iPhone believe it or not, straight out of the box. But the UI - it looks like the IOS. I find it interesting that they seem to be protesting that it physically looks like the Galaxy Tabs look like the iPad, but the UI is nearly identical on Android based platforms.
Right now I'm paying $1,080 a year for video service from Cox. Not very happy about it either.
I can buy a Roku box for $100, sign up for Hulu+ for $96 a year, Amazon Prime for $60 a year, and Netflix runs $180 a year. Add it all up and first year is $436. Second year is $336. So compare $1,080 to $336 and that's a saving of $744! So yeah, I'm cutting the cord.
Is the fact that they are trying to customize off the shelf software. They'd be better off going all FOSS on it, rolling it from the ground up to be honest.
But the other thing - it's all the big boys doing the work, IBM, CA, etc. So they have NO motivation to do it right. Instead they are milking the system for all it's worth.
It was Ma Bell's T1 and Frame Relay that carried Arpanet traffic. In fact it was also Ma Bell's dial-up network that did it too. Ethernet is a LOCAL area network. Even to this day - FRAD's of different interfaces such as T1, T3, Cable, etc. present an ethernet interface on one side.
To the fourth amendment - secure in your person, papers and things. A cell phone is definitely a thing. And without warrant and probable cause the police shouldn't be touching the phone. Use a secure lock code on your smartphone! You don't have to disclose it.
I really dislike when corporations decide to abuse the law like this. It makes my view of Apple even more cynical. And I've bought precisely three Apple products in my lifetime and that will be ALL I buy. For example, when I was in the market for a new phone I eschewed the iPhone, not for it's alleged technical superiority - but for the fact you can't EASILY replace the battery and you have to use the craptastic dock connector as opposed to mine USB on the Android phones.
And I'll be in the market for a new PC soon. I can tell you it definitely won't be an Apple product.
Google is going to start flexing it's patent muscle and sue Apple out of existence in the wireless market. When you look at the purchase of Motorola Mobility that was the ONLY reason Google bought it, a trove of thousands of patents relating to mobile telephony. Because remember, the first player in cellular was Motorola.
I like going fast. Look - get on I-95 here in RI. Once you get outside the city of Providence it moves along at 70 to 80 MPH. And I speed judiciously. Keep up with the car mass, or keep a faster vehicle out in front of you. Let them get the ticket.
I know that Verizon and most carriers, when the provision new net service give the customer a WiFi access point/router that only uses WEP encryption. I also know that with Backtrack V, you can pretty much crack WEP easily.
With that in mind - I would simply bring up the fact that the default WEP is the real point of negligence. Which means it's either the carrier (E.g. Verizon) or it's the manufacturer.
Well - when you couple these desperate grasps for control with the fact that here in the U.S. the Southern Baptists, Catholics and every sect and cult are losing membership. Religious crazy just doesn't fly in the age of connectivity.
And the martyr thing is built into virtually every Abrahamic faith out there. They'll scream persecution when they are trying to strip our rights, change curriculum to a more religious view through pseudo-science (Intelligent Design is just rebadged Creationism).
And bury every last bit of aerial cable? Where I live it's a mixture of it - phone and cable almost always run on poles except downtown. Electric is the one that is seriously mixed. Atwells Ave, Broadway, Westminster St. all have buried electric cable. But they should bury ALL of it.
Wiretaps are notorious for being needle in the haystack type of operations. Instead the police have to use human capital as they did in the past before widespread and easy wiretap became commonplace.
I had to replace the lasing cavity on a 150W CO2 Epilog Laser Cutter/Engraver. Seems this was an early model with no interlocks between the Laser and the chilling system. So one day our engraving guy forgot to turn on the chiller when he fired up a job on the Epilog. And poof! There went the lasing cavity.
Pretty easy to replace I might add. It's almost as though Epilog EXPECTED stupidity.

They act as though IOS is the only platform. I searched on Google Play (Stupid name btw, Market was much better!) and no such app exists for Android.

And I used that computer to figure out Sprint's pass codes for their dial through long distance service.
And I quickly outgrew it. Had to upgrade it to 16K L2 - then the EI, modem, speech input, disk drives. I had the whole 9 yards.
And yes, the lowercase mod was simply a chip piggyback - did it myself.
With Level 2 BASIC I learned to poke short routines into memory so they'd run faster.

I had used KDE for a very long time before being exposed to Gnome. And that was only because Ubuntu chose to go with it.

Not surprised at all. It has been obvious for some time that corporations like Apple deploy such tactics.
And Apple can mod me down on here but there are sites I own that they can't mod down. So I have two words for Apple:
Fuck off.
DOJ and the FBI simply winged it. Doesn't inspire great confidence in any law enforcement agency to be honest.

Lets see, a billion people with how many devices - try censoring that! I'm assuming they aren't using tech to do it per se but people.

And I've always wanted nothing to do with them. Banking in general is very distasteful to me.
