Earlier than that, actually. February was the official launch, meaning they had the software (Firmware/Control Panel) in what they considered to be a state which was stable and feature rich. You could buy one earlier, it was just made clear that your device was not running final software (although the update was painless).
...and love it. About the only problem I have with it is the fact that in "My Streams" (an area where you can manually put in net radio stations you want the Chumby to play) long URLs simply cannot be entered in on the device itself, so I have to SSH into it and use VI to add any long URLs for streams manually. It came in a nice burlap bag (which I still use) and alternates between telling me the time, feeding me news, playing net radio, and displaying a friends photobucket account.
Yes, Vista is a flop. You can't just compare sales numbers for a product from one company and a product from another. You have to consider the sales of products that came before it. Considering Vista in comparison to XP, yes, it is a flop. When you have OEMs trying to figure out how to continue to sell the old product on their machines because people don't want your new product, then yes, it is a flop. At least Apple manages to make every OS release sell decently in comparison to their last one.
That is it, basically. You go to the Grand Central site, put your Gizmo SIP number in as one of your phone numbers, and then when you are in your addressbook, click the call them button for one of your contacts and make sure that Grand Central routes to your Gizmo number. They don't charge you a dime for this.
I believe they are attempting to make money the same way as lots of other for profit companies; by selling support and other services for their operating system. Which, if you are producing an OS where all the code you produce is Open Source, is perhaps really the only way to go, because you can only count on new features to drive adoption until everyone else integrates them into their own systems.
Well, as the summary and article said, it was probably when he took the stand that did him in. His explanations for things were so out there that the jury was convinced that he was lying about most if not all of it. At which point they probably began to think along the lines of "if he didn't do it, then why is he lying?"
If you are talking about audio stuff, that is because they switched to PulseAudio as the main audio server. And yeah, there is lots of stuff that doesn't play nice with PulseAudio, but it is a transition that needs to happen.
Yeah, anyone try to pull anything off of rapidshare recently? I am not hard of sight, blind, or colorblind, but have yet to been able to *LEGITIMATELY* download anything off their service because of their captcha.
...ending well? This seems to be the type of patent a patent troll would try to get through. Can someone please explain to me how this won't end with Apple eventually suing someone for violating the patent, and then rinsing and repeating ad nauseum?
FTA:
"What we know is, Skype is a great stand-alone business," Ebay's CEO said. Its revenues this year are set to top $500m and the service will be profitable, he added.
No, pretty sure they said profitable. Although, mistakes like that are understandable, if you didn't RTFA.
They don't necessarily need to integrate Skype into their core business model. Hell, just running things as they are now is probably a good idea. I seriously doubt that Skype is keeping them from making ebay more profitable. I really do think that this is most likely option #2.
Typical home systems have 4 gigs of RAM? Last I checked, most systems were coming with 1-2 gigs of RAM, and the majority of systems people have are running between 512megs and 1gig.
Yeah, although I disagree with your use of AI as an example (sorry, liked it, although the less enjoyable bits were supposedly the ones written by Kubrick) I see no way that Spielberg will keep the originals ending, and the long conversations probably won't be reworked to occur in bits and pieces throughout the movie (or their points preserved through any other means) but probably tossed altogether. I foresee something more along the lines of T3 coming out of this.
...but Vigilantism shouldn't be encouraged. While a few cases of internet Vigilantism have made news, overall, it is still a bad idea. If stuff like this continues, we are going to end up with mob rule. And who is to say that the mob has the right guy?
I would have to disagree there. Not with the basic economics being common sense (it was, and because I stupidly didn't take AP Econ, I spent most of the classes drawing in my notebook or sleeping uninterrupted by the teacher) but with the difficulty in teaching it, as I was the second person in the class to not managed to royally fuck almost every test or assignment, and I do believe the only one to actually not pay attention to her. Interestingly enough, this is also a group that couldn't understand that if the teacher has a packet full of 26 odd something graphs, and is devoting an entire class to making sure that everyone knows what graphs model what situations, and THEN spends the entire half of the class period focusing on drilling one graph into everyone, that there is the slightest of possibilities that is the graph they should know about for the final.

Only if you make the call through Gizmo itself, and not GrandCentral. Through GrandCentral, it is free.

Well, the whole address/contact issues could be because these guys don't want to deal with Apple's lawyers. Ever.
This should be modded +5 insightful.

Only if you don't consent, which I believe to be the case here for most of the people who bought music from the MSN music store.

...see something wrong with x86_64 live CDs do not fit on 700MB, need to be tested with DVD-R?
You expect comments about the article, and not a moralized tangent discussion? What site do you think you are on?

According to io9, they are going to kill Goku either in the first movie or the beginning of the second.

Doesn't that still leave In Vitro fertilization though? Loopholes, man, loopholes.
You mean what is advertised as unlimited uploads.
