The whole point of Dev Kits is so software can be ready for hardware when it comes out.
Although, I sometimes get the feeling that Apple has intentionally withheld information about the Intel switch from it's development partners to give Apple's own products an edge as far as having universal binaries is concerned.
You'd be silly to buy a non-Intel Mac right now. Yet, there isn't a version of Office or any Adobe product that runs natively on the Intel machines. In my opinion, that's one of the reasons why Mac sales are not what they could be.
As of now, Microsoft stock is surprisingly quiet given the announcement that Bill Gates will step down. It should probably be going down. Ozzie is smart but not in the same class as Bill Gates. And it's really Ballmer that needs to go.
He also wrote another article about his first BillG review. I can't help but think that Ballmer would ask the same question as Jim Manzi.
Virtual PC running on a PPC G5 and a second boot partition on an Intel Mac are two completely different environments. From a technical standpoint, they have absolutely nothing in common beyond the fact that both claim to support the x86 instruction set. An Intel Mac has more in common with a Dell PC than it does with Virtual PC running on a PPC G5.
The fact that you can run Vista on Virtual PC on a PPC machine says absolutely nothing about whether or not you will be able to run it on an Intel Mac.
VirtualPC for Mac is an existing product that I'm assuming has the requisite number of customers who think it's worth doing.
From a personal standpoint, some of the reasons for wanting to do this are: 1. I like working on Macs but it's a Windows world out there. I need to be able to run some Windows software but don't want to buy and maintain a separate machine just to do that. 2. Running VirtualPC makes it easer for me to share the data between my Mac and the Windows machine I occasionally need to use.
There's plenty of Soccer on TV here. The fact that no one watches it is not because it doesn't have ads. The last time I watched a soccer game, I was actually hoping they would break for an ad to break up the dull monotony of the game.
n most of the world, the World Cup is (dare I say it) more important than any other sporting event (yes, even the olympic games). It'd do good to US citizens to dig out of the hole and stop pretending; while you're at it you might as well start ditching the imperial measuring system. And yes, in most of the rest of the world, interesting matches are broadcast for free. lol!
What should they stop pretending to be? You really think most US citizens are closet Soccer lovers who are denying that they are interested in the sport? And why is the rest of the world so obsessed with whether Americans are watching or not?
I grew up a Soccer fan. I watched almost all of Mexico 86 and Italia 90. Soccer played at the highest level can be very entertaining. When I moved to the US, I took up watching football. I find soccer boring by comparison. The difference between organized football and soccer is a lot like the difference between watching a professional soccer team and a bunch of kids playing in the backyard.
And every single game will be available on my TV for free and I will watch the ones that are on while I'm not at work but you need to stop pretending that most Americans would love soccer if they only weren't under the thumb of corporate overlords who forced them to find it boring. A lot of Soccer is available on TV here and very few people watch it.
How does this crap get modded up? This was the FTC, not the FCC that dealt with Howard Stern.
Bullsh*t. Parents have the privilege to rely on the accuracy of the entertainment rating system. Just like the movie rating system, these rating are not enacted by laws. They are not legal rights as the ESRB is not an institution that was empowered by a government act! Stop calling them "rights"!! Sorry,folks. Pet peeve, but there is a major difference between a right and a privilege... at least for now.
No. You are wrong. The right to not be deceived by false advertising is a right, not a privilege. If a product advertises a certain feature, it better well have it. In this case, the producers of the game made certain statements about their product, which led to the rating they received, which turned out to be false. The game did not comply with the standards for the advertised rating.
Rockstar games was and is free to include sex scenes in their video games - as they are free to include violence.
What they can't do is deceive the rating board about the content. This is the Federal Trade Commission. Deceptive trade practices fall properly within their purview.
That being said, $11,000 is a ridiculously small fine and takes into account the fact that this was inadvertent rather than intentional.
IBM and Oracle have much better sales forces and more competent consultancy services than Microsoft.
I know of two very large organizations where they're sticking with IBM solutions for no reason other than the fact that the IBM sales guy has built a great relationship with someone very high in management and the Microsoft sales guy has been downright incompetent by comparison.
Besides the sales savviness, IBM and Oracle both have very strong consultancy departments which will customize their software to do whatever you want it to do. With Microsoft, you're stuck trying to hire an independent firm that will do the same for you.
People want a Good (tm) hero to root for. Google is the closest they can find.
They have "Don't be Evil" in their corporate manifesto. The rest is mostly idealization by their fans. Google has been smart with their PR not doing too much blatant (Chinese censorship was their lone misstep here) to violate the image built up by some.
The rationale that people making more should pay a higher tax rate. They use your worldwide income to determine how much you make and, therefore, what your tax rate should be. They are not laying any claim to your income in Thailand, they just want to know what it is to determine what rate they should tax you at.
The tax system is pretty screwed up and I definitely don't agree with it and all the loopholes there are in it. I'm not defending the system. I'm just explaining the rationale behind a state determining your tax rate based upon your worldwide income.
It doesn't have any claim to that income and doesn't claim to have any. They are not taxing your non-New York income, only for your New York income. Your tax rate, however, is determined by your worldwide income, not just your New York income.
Someone who earns $80k in NJ and $20k in NY, should pay NY taxes on his $20k income at the same rate as a New Yorker who makes $100k or you've just created a gigantic loophole in the progressive tax system.
If you buy into the idea that people who earn more should pay a higher rate than those who earn less, the ONLY way to make that happen is to tax you based upon your total income, regardless of which state it is earned in.

Yeah, but the lizard failed to file for a patent and thus lost its right to claim the original design.

Well, you wouldn't be too far from the truth because India did ban "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom".

Come on. That's what editors are supposed to do.
IBM is only not-evil to the extent that their business doesn't conflict with your zealotry.

Anticipating looters already, are we?
Actually, that's his Japanese cousin Ar Gole.

You don't need to pay for a separate phone line for the thing. All you need is an extra jack.
Blocky, too much wasted space and those same colors.

It's a little naive to generalize and claim that just because the Japanese are involved, this project will be completed ahead of schedule.

Based on what rationale?
The rationale that people making more should pay a higher tax rate. They use your worldwide income to determine how much you make and, therefore, what your tax rate should be. They are not laying any claim to your income in Thailand, they just want to know what it is to determine what rate they should tax you at.
