In my experience, mob behavior has a role in this. In other words, every entity - person in a job at a company, a new product, a business - has a "popularity" cycle.
Everyone forgets when Microsoft first came on the scene, they were everyone's darling - Apple went through that, went astray, took a beating, re-invented themselves successfully and chewed away at Microsoft the whole time.
I guess what I am saying is the challenge is how much of this is just the public perception that "its time for Apple to lose it's gloss", and how much of it is the fact that reality of a scaled up company overcoming the creative, clever marketing.
In my specific situation, I chose Apple for my family's computers was that I was getting tired of spending 4 hrs/week rehabilitating....I don't do that anymore, so my choice was sound. However, it's naive to think it's sustainable - the additional integration of devices, the shifting threat landscape, the commercialization of the product lines and the attendant quality issues --- will force me, eventually, to revisit that.
So who knows......
C'mon, you've tried everywhere....seriously, dude, I understand. I work hard, reasonably well educated, and not totally stupid... and I realize that I am pretty lucky. Last time I was on the street, I sent our over a thousand resumes to a thousand different companies over six weeks - and only got 8 interviews, only one of which turned into a job.......
Well, your rants certainly have done an excellent job of fixing the problem. Attacking me might make you feel better, but just feeds the problem, douchebag.
So, you are asserting that the preparation of potential responses to aggression has the same moral basis as the US's ill-conceived and ill-executed foray into Iraq?
Is this a case of a "good old boys" club, where one of the insiders takes care of his buddy -or-
He believe that Hurd is really that good.......sounds like the latter...
This contractor thing is idiotic, both that a guy in such a position would get himself into such a ridiculous position - and that the board would make a big deal about it.
I suspect that if they really wanted to keep him.... the whole thing would have just "gone away".... so there's some subtext here, somewhere.
is someone going to arm one of these.....granted, this particular model cannot carry even the lightest weapon right now....but scaled up, it might be a mini-UAV....
with respect to RF....granted, you aren't holding the charger next to your head...but how "near" is near-field when it comes to putting power through the air and the ramifications around EMI and/or health.
I just can't believe that people have that ....

much free time. The time necessary for these "fantasy languages" -- Elvish, Klingon, French.....is better spent on Spanish, Chinese, Japanese or something even quasi legitimate, like Esparanto....
I think it's a holdover from the "Roaring Twenties" - I don't think any reasonable person familiar with firearms has used that term in North America, in the last twenty years.
The problem is that the media professionals (either intentionally or unintentionally) use the term to describe a particular firearm, neglecting to understand the ramifications of using an archaic term. I do believe that it's more a case of laziness more than overt anti-gun alarmism; but who knows.
Think Edward G. Robbinson.
They hire Procurement people to wrestle every penny out of a partner; and then expect them to behave differently when it comes to their own pockets?
Sounds like poor controls to me.....
Clarification - citation is not the same as a fine. If I get a traffic ticket for $1000, I certainly take it more serious than a $80 one,.
As for the other comment; well, I doubt that you can reasonably hang that amount of risk on a single device as indictment of technology.
I really don't get articles like this; of course tech can provide some new versions of the same old store; but the fundamentals still hold true - some people are just going to go through life stupidly, trusting that someone else will bail them out.
You want an answer; hold them accountable for their actions. For the idjits with the Salty Water; fine them the Rangers time, the fuel in the vehicles, plus a 10K punitive fine.
They have been singing the same tune for 4-5 years anyway; Bilski was a distraction. It's won't go away, until someone significant gets burned badly; then it will be a big deal. Give it another 2-3 years.
You don't have to pick up every rider ---- it's ok to say no, especially when it's in the broader interest to increase the quality and remove the backlog.

Glad to see that rational thought is shining through the morass of hype. It's a good tool - but just that, a tool.
Mom says stop reading slashdot and fill out those damn applications now.
Frighteningly obvious........

Leave Abe alone, man....might as well pick on Betty White
showing any concern for this, whatsoever.
Yes, because Police Lawyers are really the ultimate arbitrator.
Yeah, for all those Abba related thefts.......

Yes, which brings to mind what you are actually getting in terms of quality when you go in for, say...a CAT scan.
Bottom line, the world will be a less place when he is gone......he is an entertainer, through and through

Yeah, with that, you'd need a really big hamster to turn that generator.......
