Tesla's fast charging is OK but not great. If you have to stop for more than one fast charge on a trip then people are not going to like it. Assuming equal costs to the customer: If a battery swap can happen in roughly the same amount of time as a gasoline tank refill and have 100% driving range then swapping is better than quick charging.
Microsoft's Virtual Machine Manager is not free and has other component requirements that will significantly add to your implementation costs unless you are already running Systems Center and SQL.
The last time we tried HV & VMM was Windows 2008 R2 w/ VMM 2010. MS brought in a partner to set it up as a direct comparison to our production vSphere plant. It was a joke.
I think we had to stand up 2 or 3 extra servers (VMs) to manage VMM and it's guests. Performance was horrible for no reason. VMs would forget which disk to boot from. NIC bonding was still unsupported (it is now in 2K12). Administration was unnecessarily complex. At a minimum you need to already be a MS shop that is running Windows clustering, SQL, and SCCM.... which we are.
MS says HV 2K12 is so much better. I"m sure we will take a look at it soon enough but I would be suspicious.
Oh yeah well if that happens then I will just let them know they are receiving a demerit each time my call is transferred. If I have to issue three demerits they will receive a citation. Four of those will result in a verbal warning and if they keep it up they will be looking at a written warning. Two of those and they will be in a world of hurt in the form of a disciplinary review, written up by me, and placed on the desk of their immediate supervisor.
Increase the yellow as well as the delay for the red lights turn green. Put in more than reasonable delays and then you can hit the blatant light runners with fines.
Just as important as the list of failures is the list of successes so stock holders can better understand what is funding things. When MS starts declining in areas they have been succeeding without replacing income then stock holders will really take notice.
IMHO the iMac, iTunes, and iPad were not truly innovative. They were incremental developments of existing products.
The issues Apple will face are
1. Staying ahead in areas where it is already ahead 2. Catching up fast enough in areas where it is behind 3. Jumping ahead by developing another true innovation.
These 3 things get harder to do as you grow market share and release more products. It is hard to stay on top forever. Many have tried and they have all failed so far... or enough time hasn't passed yet.;-)
However i would like to add that some businesses can benefit greatly if you pick the right location as well. If you expect people to find you and/or come to you then location is VERY important.
I agree. Computing vs consuming or creating vs consuming.
Most computer users are using them as consuming devices. Not that there is anything wrong with it but I'm pretty sure without mobile devices Apple would be right where it was 8 years ago.
I also agree that the consumer market has been Microsoft's to lose and so far they are doing a darn good job at losing it.
I agree. However, I can't help but to think how digital sampling is the exact opposite problem. Taking a good quality analog source with smooth curves and then making it digital with a jagged curve. Now I understand the theory behind it all that if the sampling is done at or above a certain frequency then it will be just as good as the source. It just found the super mario example silly and humorous.
Maybe with enough the right square stretching algorithms we won't be able to notice... or perhaps the sound will improve!;-)
That's why I often wish laws, contracts, etc could contain sections written in plain/common language explaining the intention/spirit of the document. Of course it would never work but I can dream.
I can send you a letter and write anyone's name and address in the upper left corner of the envelope (From field). The only legitimate marking on an envelope is the post mark and with email it is most of the IP addresses in the headers.
Yeah we are even seeing them in brackish waters. I took a speargun shot at some last year but missed. They are definitely gonna keep booming before we get them under control.
This! It makes no sense to require a permit to exterminate these things.
I live in south FL, I have never seen one of these snakes but iguanas are taking over in some areas. Southern FL is a very welcoming ecosystem for many creatures. We have all kinds of invasive species from snakes and iguanas to white flies and lion fish....
Touchscreens on laptops will probably take off because the trackpads and the little rubber pointers are cumbersome to many folks. I don't know if the touchscreen will replace them but it will definitely improve the overall experience.
1) It is an endless loop created by the GOTO command. 2) Is it a maze or does it just look like one? There is no indication that it actually creates a maze each and every time. It is more likely a pseudo random pattern that LOOKS like a maze.
Guys, remember that this is a _design_ patent. And it protects the design of _one_ way to animate turning over a simulated page in an eBook reader. There are gazillions of ways to do such an animation. Some look better, some look less good. One of them is now covered by a design patent, that's all.

Free = ESXi = HyperV
Managed = not free = vSphere = Virtual Machine Manager

I was paraphrasing a funny scene from The Office (American version).

All configurable through Group Policy so organizations manage and implement these new features when they are ready.
It is more like
2001 - iPod
2007 - iPhone

"It’s free and always will be."
"other arguments" probably means politics like gun control. :-)
Or reading Slashdot. :-)

So these people don't see the logical discontinuity ...
I think some of them do see it but choose to abuse their power and spread fear when the opportunity suits them.

Actually it sounds like the warehouse storage is in a constant state of defrag and deliberately without full file reorder.

Like rounding the corners of a rectangle. Gotcha.
I was thinking V should have been a P.
