Don't create accounts for all these social sites in the first place. They're largely a waste of time and a hollow attempt to massage our own egos anyway.
I kind of have a feeling that this is intended to be a marketing message by Apple. Something along the lines of attempting to "prove" that the iPhone really "is" or "relies heavily" on OS X technology.
If you're trying to hype a product that is supposed to be revolutionary, what message would you send? Apple seems to be sending the message that they need their best OS guys, specifically, and not just good developers, to work on their phone, because that is central to the iPhone's success, or at least its design.
For our undergrad senior design project, we build one of these guys.
It uses an RFID card to store personal musical preferences, and then as you "buzz in" (walk by the reader), it averages your tastes with the others in the area and picks appropriate music from an on-board Flash device to play. The goal is to match the music playing to the general tastes of a crowd.
What do you guys think? With the Wii meeting its production goals, is this necessary, or should there be a veritable bounty of available Wiis, pre-order or not? I do want one, come late Nov., but I'm curious if this is all needed.
Man, stay away from the Voodoo Rush. It's supposed to play Tomb Raider, accelerated in its own freakin' window. Not full screen! No, we're talking simultaneous 2D/3D here. Alas, I can attest to it barely achieving 20 FPS. Kind of unplayable when...
Oh, wait.
It's not really about sitting and watching TV shows on your iPod... it's about portability and seamlessness, and brand unification. If you watched Steve's presentation, it's key that their Front Row, iTunes 6, and the new iPod were all announced in unison. It's all about getting media -- audio or video -- "owning" it, and having it be completely portable. Want to watch/listen at home? Use Front Row on the new iMac. Want to watch/listen on the road? Use the iPod. How about at a friend's house? Use S-Video or audio cables. I think Tuesday's announcements were pretty brilliant; it's a new media front for Apple and a whole lot of brand unification.
If indeed "innovations are slowing" due to their increased complexity, then can we extrapolate this trend to say that, sufficiently far in the future, innovations will be so complex and require so much time investment that we begin to narrow our breadth and increase our depth of understanding? And if so, is this in fact slowed innovation? As others are noting, perhaps the measure of innovation is misunderstood.
You know, these kinds of predictions may or may not have a basis in reality. But what is a sure thing is that people don't like to hear this kind of arrogant predictions, especially from Microsoft. Bill should realize that he's working against himself and his very predictions -- turning people off -- by making such statements publicly.

...If this doesn't get any cheaper, it won't get any popularity.

Here's the project. And thanks for the ad spot, Slashdot

Darwin had a particular interest in phishing letters.

In related news, users of Microsoft Windows found to use excessive foul language.
The downside is that browsers don't give programmers full access to a computer's resources such as memory, process power and hard disk space.
Internet Explorer does!

That's more than 10KB of data, or roughly 63% of the memory Windows' "System Idle Process" uses.
Wait a minute... wait a minute. We never knew how ice melts? Is this guy serious?
Unfortunately, this can only be accomplished by inserting a giant metal spike into the back of the head, via an implanted receptacle.

Jiggle the joystick back and forth as quickly as possible. Watch the rover struggle for a bit, then break free. It should take 5 or 6 seconds.
