Yeah... I've thought about this idea too - for a huge list of hard-to-remember passwords, but if the master password is not good enough, the ENTIRE password database will be up for grab, isn't it? Then the purpose of using hard-to-remember passwords is defeated. Or is the idea -> use only one hard-to-remember password instead of 20+? Am I missing something here?
It sounds like they'll only provide indexing as you said. But as all the content are in the database for the searches, isn't it fairly straight-forward to make that available as well, making this much more attractive for users? I'm sure Google has the intention to go that route.
It's easier for me to browse to a competitor that works with my browser of choice than to open another browser to access the site.
That said a browser these days are more than just an interface to the web, but also a platform for applications. There are a lot of enterprise/government that has web applications in-house that uses nothing but IE as client. Because of $/time constrains they only test the apps with IE. Yeah that's because IE is the defacto thingie on windoze boxes. On another front, even switch/router...etc boxes uses web for management interface and only works well on IE. Consumers may have a choice, but industry sometimes does not. Oh yeah, the evil M$ empire is still at work.
Your logic is so flawed in so many ways. By that rationale MSIE is the best broswer ever, Budweiser is the best beer, MacDonalds is the best restaurant in the world, etc.
Your logic here doesn't work very well either. The world can go drink Budweiser and eat McD food but I'm not forced to because others are. There are so many apps/sites that used IE as the platform for development and tested against - the end-user are forced to use IE. Nobody said IE is the best browser ever, but simply dismissing/disregarding it as buggy, insecure, monolithic...etc. is essentially hiding your head in the sand. The point of the author is not to troll but to point out the significance of IE, like it or not.
Again, I'd rather avoid making these overwhelming simplification. Do you live there? You worked for their government? Every single time news regarding china comes up and degenerates into these kind of comments.
One could argue that these statements are more accurate "north american consumers don't pay for movie/music, everything over there seems to be downloaded from bearshare/emule anyway." or "Everybody here loves communist/china bashing".
It's likely that they'll allow Chinese contracting firm to resell non-Chinese stuff. On the other hand, do you think our DoD would deal direct with foreign-based company??? They go thru Boeing/Lockheed/Northrop anyway. Isn't that kind of a similar situation? So what's new here?
there will be fewer and fewer distinctions between:
- cellphone
- PDA
- MP3/JPG/Video player
I'm waiting for that day. Now it's achievable but it's expensive and somehow, software/usability/size are not great.
Prolly no limit but the service I guess would require your credit card number? Moreover making the old classics available by some mean is better than to send out lawyers letter and shut down emu sites. At least there's some way to get it, instead of no way.
I'd rather not have tab browsing on IE. Currently when IE blew up on my face ("Do you want to report this bug?"), it only blew up the independent browser, but with tab browsing it will blow up all my session.
Totally agree. Try to prove someone's home security system is insecure by breaking-in without breaking stuff, rearrange the entire house furniture, and get out without a trace. Now call the home owner. But in this case it was the authority that caught them first.
I know it is frustrating to go thru security nowadays and some of the things they do are just plain stupid. But do you have any better idea on how to run the security checks on all the airports in this country?
Looking back at Palm, it was the coolest thing people will want to have. But since it's first generation, it really didn't change a whole lot but evolve around a PDA model. Even look at the Palm Zire now, how much does it differ from it's original other than memory/speed? Even size is about the same I'd argue.
Because people wanna watch movies on their laptops, right? I am looking forward to the next-gen 42 plasma version of laptops with built-in 8" sub-woofer. Only if I can find a foldable version of lazy-boyz chair.

Straight quote from Reuters or AP (link from yahoo news page), I think I read this couple months after 9/11. It was concerning about high terrorist alert the US government put on for a day, but I can't believe they put this kinda of
quote as news - zero content, zero credibility.

... 8 sticks of 2GB USB FLASH stick with an USB hub?
Is it more about the intel-based tablet PC than anything MS? May be Linux/OpenOffice will also crash on the same machine.
First, pour liquid oxygen onto the soil....
Uh.. with it's original design based on a V2 rocket. I hope it does not carry any warhead :)
...of course that does not count Quebec, where anything is legal and almost everything is free!!
...where weeds are legal, gays can marry and music is free!
So he now works as a preacher prediction end of the earth in 5 years?

10-15 minutes of porn is sufficient for general public, really. No need to be HD quality either.

It probably happened few million years ago. It's history...
