The major bonus of a 5 times longer battery life is that your MSFT Surface Tablet will have a life of 20 hours on a battery charge, instead of the current 4 hours, so you'll actually be able to use it.... what, too soon?
Say what you will, but so long as Apple collects 90+ % of the profits for cellphones, the dominance of Droid means nothing.
It's how Microsoft can claim market dominance of Windows - they charge you lots, while many Linux and BSD boxen get very very small fee
Even if you buy a $200 droid phone, if the profit from it to the maker is just a couple of dollars, while Apple gets tens and hundreds of dollars from each phone, eventually they will eat Droid's shorts.

The problem is that you cant even spend your vp without being revered (and each slot is attached to a different rep, so you have to do them all) which takes at least a few weeks to do
Once you have a character at 80 or so, just buy lots of extra tabards for the rep you're grinding and send them to the characters low on that rep.
Um, dude, all the management magazines say Java is dead. Heck, why do you think Objective C is hot? Wake up and smell 2012 already.
They're tweeting mean things about your attitude right now... besides, nobody has used Geritol in something like two decades, how old are YOU? CoQE and Resveratrol is the way to go.
Most of the IT articles in CIO and other management mags say that you have to expect 20 somethings actually have a life and will leave the office if it isn't really a crisis. Stock options don't work anymore, everyone knows that.
So, if your IT managers still treat the 20 something IT guys as 90 hour work week slaves... yeah, that's not happening.
I think one of the probs is that younger people extrapolate from their own experience, where they don't work too many hours and have a life, and then try to mentally add kids, aging, and 40 hour gaming sessions to maintain their level 85 chars and just can't imagine how anyone could do that.
It's called caffeine. That and dropping abusive "friends" from Facebook that just argue with you, plus not answering cell phones or tweets during meetings.
Multitasking doesn't work, actually, according to all (yes, all) the scientific studies.
Besides, who do you think wrote the first object-oriented code all your libraries are built on, n00bz?
In the medical profession we call those things Lists. A number of studies, based on original research at the UW Medical Center and VA hospitals, have found that check lists do wonders.
But... we already do that. We even have iPads in VA Hospitals now. Watson is just doing checklists.
No, my point is the specific warrantless covert video and audio surveillance. Read the source post for what it was about.
The existence of a warrant makes all this moot, of course, but the lack of one limits you to very limited methods, or to only federal lands for federal crimes held in federal courts. The lack of constitutional validity has never stopped people from doing stuff - look at Eyman's actions - but eventually the state courts rule it is unconstitutional and the US Supreme Court has always upheld that restriction provided by our State Constitution.
We also have laws against murder but that didn't stop Birk from shooting Williams in the back.
You would have to commit a federal crime on federal land and it to be tried in federal court and none of the recording or processing could occur in WA state. That's the State Constitutional protection. Now, if you want to record covert video and audio on an army base and try it there, be my guest.

90 percent of what you buy in the US is packaged in metric, you just don't realize it.
They just label it so it looks like English.
It would be nice to tell how much money I've got in my pocket when I go out drinking, without having to open a billfold and count it.
Got used to doing that in the Canadian Army and when I was in Europe.

I'm kind of wondering when they'll add HSTS security, which ensures all traffic that starts on HTTPS does not get redirected to insecure HTTP instead.
Seriously, because a bitstream of legal music may appear to be piracy (same bits) but isn't.
I trust Verizon as far as the next guillotine for their CEO and top execs.

I like to call it Zune 8.
I have two thoughts on this issue.
The first is:
Pies.
Microsoft has stock in a lot of corporations. Lots of pies they have their fingers in. Don't count them out.
The second is:
Innovation.
That's dead there.
I have four pandas right now.
Unlike you, I have a life, so none are in their 80s yet, and my main is only 83 at the moment.
I'll join the rest of you in Farmville ... um "end game Pandaria" when I get done having fun.

Now, if you'll excuse me, my panda has to get back to farming.
What must your life be like, having the certain knowledge that it will end at 40.
Carousel will Renew you!
Don't trust anyone under 80.

The Cloud is a great way to lose your key data and let hackers resell it to your competitors.
Just ask any decent security professional.

Those caught on fire too.
Gas mains erupting everywhere plus high winds equals crispy critters no matter what form your battery or gas tank is.

When I saw the twitter feed headline, I was hoping Lucy Liu was going to attend UW Medical School.
Sigh.
Dr. Watson, you're needed here!

Your State laws do not apply to actions taken by Federal law enforcement officers in the performance of a federal investigation.
Federal officers follow federal law. State protections only apply to State actions, not Federal actions.
Tell that to the feds who tried to put a GPS tracking unit on a WA citizen's car without a warrant. Sorry, charlie, we have Rights in our State.
Washington State law has specific constitutional protections for privacy and audio/video recordings.
We were the state that doesn't allow GPS tracking without a warrant, no matter what the other states do.
So, don't believe the feds.
It's been six (6) days and still all Windows Live accounts can't change passwords and a lot have been deauthorized on the UW Seattle campus.
I mean, it's just a drive across the bridge from Redmond, and they can't be bothered?
