  1. Re:Two questions: on AMD Plans Simultaneous Desktop and Mobile Chip Releases · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else smell stock manipulation in these "predictions" of future chip lines? It isn't illegal to mention future plans. Falling short is protected by law.

    The difference is that each brand of detergent is not stamped Proctor and Gamble (atleast not overtly). Most people have no idea that every single detergent on the shelf at the grocery store is made by the same company. Proctor and Gamble uses this very expensive strategy to insulate each brand from negative consumer perceptions AND to eat up shelf space ANONYMOUSLY. Does AMD plan to place their name on both chips? If so, the Detergent analogy does not apply. Sorry to be a punk, I'm taking a marketing class this semester.

    The speed of chip development (Moore's law) probably doesn't permit a staggered release if both chips are on the same development schedule.

    So that's the answer? Building some sort of higher frequency amp? Does anyone have a solution? Does anyone with the solution want to go into business?

    Shouldn't the solution be based on Cell tech or some other rotation frequency??? Come on! We solved this crap with microwave ovens 30 years ago. I'm not yelling at you guys, but hasn't this problem already been solved? Hmmmm.

    p.s. The above post was not a flame. Anyone who thinks otherwise is mis-reading me. I believe Flu-guy's post is the most informative post of this entire discussion thread. I was just riffing.

    Yep, so basically what this smart MF is saying is that there are a very finite number of fun wireless channels to set your Linksys to. 1 thru 11. He's right. And up until now, we've all enjoyed the tyranny of the minority. But here they come. So the problem rests with the manufacturer. We need cheap wireless routers with the same capabilities of wireless phones (not cell phones - in home cordless phones). Am I guessing? How come my Sony cordless phone doesn't get overrun with neighbor signals? Obviously there's some technology that prevents it. What is it Flu guy?

    Back when I once took a business law class, I shielded my brain by wrapping EMF resistentent foil around my head. It didn't stop the law class from making my head hurt like I had hoped, but it did make me look cool when I rode my bike around campus.

  12. Will Apple's other desktop sales suffer? on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm, now I'm thinking. Isn't the mini going to hurt their upgrade sales margin? Why would any non-professional who already owns a monitor and keyboard ever buy another new desktop model? I wonder if they'll come out with new versions of the mini that only interface with newer monitors... Seems odd, but I'm sure SJ has a strategy. Looks like they're going for consumer volume over their traditional showcase niche product strategy. (1500 other posts already on this story, why am I writing this?)

    Read the pop up a little more closely. Just because a pop-up appears does not mean you have been hijacked. The pop-up will appear with blocking turned on, the difference is that it is from the correct source.

    Smell is one of the few reasons left to shop offline. Why go to the mall if you can smell the candles or the perfume? This is just another small step in the progression towards a virtual society. The web has become a commerce network by all rights (remember when it was fun?).

    It's too bad that the driving force behind the technological development of the web surfing experience is pure capitalism.

    What would you rather pay for? A channel line up with commercials that you've already paid for with your monthly fees, or a database of shows you can watch anytime you want. Why flip channels when you can have a menu of instance choices? I see programing going to view-on-demand entirely in the next 10 years. It's only natural given our impatience and the increasing capacity of all forms of data transfer.
