Devices run very advanced chips, custom chips that does lots of stuff on chip level. E.g. your Sony PSP 333 Mhz chip does not decode H264, some other chip does decode.
I mean it is not like tell poor ARM chip to decode sort of PDF UI.
What makes me sad is, lock down of 3rd party apps, not this BS story. Imagine a desktop environment which is free (XCode) has a basic switch to produce device code. That would be the true revolution.
I love people giving up their ISP's service (which they pay for) and use a third party site that will analyse private mail to show ads and keep their mails forever, even when you delete them.
Yahoo may have stupid adverts but their direction and privacy policy looks better if we compare it to Google.
BTW, I use $15 fastmail.fm SSL IMAP and keep Yahoo for their "self aware becoming" spam filter thanks to millions of users marking stuff spam.
Funny is, I was hoping for Opera Mobile right after I saw "Zinio reader" style web browsing.
We like Safari on Desktop but Opera Mobile is like 5 years ahead of competition on that business.
I wonder another thing. Why can't a system being "5 years ahead" doesn't come with built in spam protection? I tried Kaspersky Symbian Beta and it adds "sms/mms spam protection" to my Nokia.
If a device needs to be hacked to enable 3rd party apps and if it is a communications enabled device, it paves the road for trojan/malware/spyware coders. You know the old story, "install this to enable skype" type crap.
Sun (especially Sparc) is said to be "back" with that CPU, at least existing customers seem to adopt when available. The story I gave tiny URL exactly states that.
IBM is still the king of course, it is their playground.
I checked the web but as you may guess, the "enterprise server marketshare" pointed to places asking for $$$ for "white paper":)
I think everyone is racing with Sun on (high end) server markets, all enterprise sites and existing server customers seem to love Sun Niagara CPU especially because of heat and performance per watt stuff.
" The entire chip consumes a maximum of 72 watts, considerably less than rivals such as Intel's Xeon, which consumes 110 to 165 watts."
IBM does not give a heck to Desktop market unless you are calling them about 10.000 terminal running Enterprise Big Iron monster and they may even suggest you buy Dell terminals/PCs if it fits their project better. What matters to them is the mainframe, technologies used, software used and the entire consulting to keep such business up.
Motorola/Freescale lives happily in embedded processor market and telecoms market too.
I guess such stories should have "power-not-powerPC department" tag.
Also, yes , our great leader/prophet whatever was right switching to Intel/x86 because of above reasons. Both companies tries to stay away from Desktop market and they won't be bothered by ridiculous 3Ghz PPC G5 (a STRIPPED DOWN POWER4) Apple fanboys. Apple can't effect those decisions by their current market share. If it goes back to great 50% 50% marketshare values, they can demand anything of course.
Believe me, Usenet is not in bad shape like Yahoo message boards were. I guess most of the/. people have never been to "news message boards" especially on popular stories.
I tell you one thing. If those trolls have hit Slashdot exactly they did to Yahoo, CmdrTaco would ask for credit card verification to have account at Slashdot or thousands of IPs would get banned.
Of course yahoo had no responsibility (could implement karma system) but those messages were hosted at.yahoo.com domain which showed company bad.
I was never a google fan but I was amazed by the summary. microsoft has best vm? So where is.net for my phone which I use opera mini 3 (j2me) to sign in and post? Speaking about live.com; I can't comment easily since it simply doesn't work on mac. tells me to upgrade mac ie which doesn't exist! Also speaking about.net and live.com there is a full feature office which works inside any modern browser/os at thinkfree.com
By using windows media drm they ignore huge (in terms of paying for media) apple userbase. quicktime supports drm for ages and so extensible that even windows formats are supported via components. There is also real networks which already supports everything down to phones. I wonder who they dealt with? MPAA or MSFT?
3) It is another barrier for MS infested device browsing (Run WinCE browser and see)
4) It is from a small company which managed to stand against AOL and Microsoft just by supporting standards and rely on customer trust.
5) It gives people even without a WAP 2.0 browser chance of surfing web, getting information without charge.
6) Server structure handling millions of users is Linux ( easy, check http://gemal.dk/ with it)
It is bad news for MSFT and.NET freaks which couldn't release anything like this and moron websites/coders managing to break every single standard. You know why? If your site is W3C compliant, it renders PERFECTLY on Opera Mini.
I think all should update their Java and stop blaming Opera:)
Serious, my Sony Ericsson phone is a joke compared to Palm OS based devices, it works perfectly. I have even advertised it to couple of friends using J2ME MIDP 2.0 built in "SMS" feature.
When you have a working real life solution in hand which is run on millions (if not hundreds of millions) mobile phones, you got something to say to companies while trying to sell these:
Also it seems they got deal with Google which is also effective in this product (default search engine).
Did you ever wonder why MS sunk billions of dollars in IE even while they are at court for monopoly? That was done with evil agenda, Opera supported nothing but open web standards since it was founded.
So they got "karma" enough to type mini.opera.com in my K700i J2ME 2 phone wap browser right after reading this headline.
But the person you replied to is an artist and allofmp3 could list them and sell his work and he wouldn't get any sort of money. He/his producer gets from Apple.
For those bands, they should deal with Magnatunes under non exclusive Creative Commons (other deals may continue) and they would get their half of the price. It would create a huge revolution if a band like U2, Dave Mathews band signed such Creative Commons deal.
Allofmp3 doesn't give a cent to production houses, artists. Magnatunes is a real producer who shares openly with artist, 50/50.
If U2 is not happy with Creative Commons they should explain why. They are the ones asking countries to erase billions of loans yes?
Did allofmp3 pay a cent to artists getting downloaded? No RIAA , no DRM argument please. Lets say I downloaded David Gilmour album, did Mr. Gilmour get a cent?
So, our right to get robbed with a fake legit site and artists not getting anything at all is broken. Very sad!
Only thing allofmp3 has proven is: International users exist besides ~18 countries and they somehow pay for music they get. Yes, I am referencing iTunes store and "you can't buy anything at all, you are a thief!" attitude shown by Apple/RIAA/MPAA for years.
If you really hate RIAA and you love to pay for your music, http://www.magnatunes.com/ , 50% 50% share, quality music, FLAC, Creative Commons, no DRM.
That is what I do besides paying to Real Networks for "radiopass" broadband radio. Paying to a shadowy Russian site knowing the artists not getting anything just to have fake legal music isn't a right of me so I didn't lose anything.
I understand the slow news due to Thanksgiving but I can't figure the meaning of discussing of X11 on Apple hardware. Yes, if you have nothing to do with Aqua, better install/run Darwin or Yellow Dog Linux.
If you want Apple frameworks, desktop technology, run X11 Aqua on OS X.
Here is the nightmare situation of current phishing all with some https: hosts (rare), decimal IPs, Geocities hosted Yahoo phishing pages which sends mail to Gmail (yes!) etc.
Slashdot Mirror
Why he doesn't even mention Symbian I wonder? There are thousands of apps which sells well and didn't break down any network as Steve Jobs said.
BTW Symbian devices on market hit 100M Nov/2006.

OMG people, 348 comments so far.
It is like, new Nokia N800 doesn't run Linux because it is ARM, you know, ARM is sort of quantum computing chip that no GCC can compile anything for!

m l , 37 million just in 2006, they didn't seem to "down cellular network" yet.
BTW Symbian announces 100 million Symbian OS running devices at http://www.symbian.com/news/pr/2006/pr20068610.ht
iPhone made me sure that Nokia or Sony Ericsson is way to go on these stuff.
There are very nice, freeware and opensource J2ME SSH clients out there working on (potentially) billion of devices.
;)
Also there are full feature Symbian SSH clients which work on 200 million (real) smart phones.
You got the deal

That monster runs 32 threads btw.

Hope I could express myself.
OS X leopard (10.5) promises to have true scalable GUI so you know next version of Windows will have it ;-)
There could be people deliberately choosing IE 7 over Firefox or other options, there is no meaning to offend them via calling them dumb.
In fact, that kind of support to Firefox (especially firefox!) makes people not to take it serious especially on corporate use.
BTW, I use Omniweb on OS X, should be called dumb for buying a browser?
I was never a google fan but I was amazed by the summary. .net for my phone which I use opera mini 3 (j2me) to sign in and post? .net and live.com there is a full feature office which works inside any modern browser/os at thinkfree.com

It matters since
.NET tries to rule the World, a J2ME (Java) 98 kb browser (with httpS: and RSS support) runs on billion devices potentially.
.NET freaks which couldn't release anything like this and moron websites/coders managing to break every single standard. You know why? If your site is W3C compliant, it renders PERFECTLY on Opera Mini.

Nokia N80 built in browser=Opera Mobile licensed to Nokia. (Here is how Opera makes money)

http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/s60
Of course it is a full feature browser since your phone has a operating system based on Symbian.
This is good for J2ME only devices while I used Mini for reading a simple article from Wikipedia on my S60 phone since it was compressed and faster.

Hi,
Here is the nightmare situation of current phishing all with some https: hosts (rare), decimal IPs, Geocities hosted Yahoo phishing pages which sends mail to Gmail (yes!) etc.

Watch and get amazed everyday, for help, submit or verify the open data.
The situation is already out of hand IMHO.
