This concept has already been implemented in a way. Whenever you bind a Tiger installation to a Windows Active Directory, the user's home folder containing most of their information is actually stored on the network (H Drive for us) and becomes portable. As long as you're on that Active Directory and log in with the right credentials, your profile moves to whichever Mac you use. It's almost like the framework for these portable profiles are already in place, just wasn't implemented.
Everything in films is exaggerated. Just look at gunshots; people fly in the air after catching a bullet, when in reality they wouldn't even fall over. Movies are never close to reality, so I would expect technology to be close either, especially because of how trendy it is and how obsolete it becomes.
7. Hold longer auctions. Researchers from the University of Arizona and the University of Michigan found that longer auctions tend to fetch higher prices. While three-day and five-day auctions yield approximately the same prices, seven-day auctions are about 24% higher, and 10-day auctions 42% higher on average.
I disagree with this statement. In my experience, the length of the auction, especially when the item is widespread, makes little difference in final sale price. This is easy to tell if you're a seller on eBay... just watch your counter when you put up a long auction. Buyers usually compete close to the auction's close. It doesn't matter if your auction is listed for 10 days if no one sees it until the 10th day. The only point to having a long auction is if your item is rare or odd, so people will eventually stumble across it. I believe the research numbers may be skewed here because sellers will list items of more importance for longer periods of time because it has ore value, contrary to items that have less valuable. Just my opinion.
This strategy of the state going for the popular vote is very interesting, and I guess in a way it would work, but it doesn't fix the problem of misrepresentation. In fact, it would undoubtedly make it worse. The state would represent itself poorly if the majority of its votes were for one candidate, but the national popular vote forced them to vote for the other candidate. That's not fixing the electoral college problem; if you're going to use this system why even use the electoral college? I realize it's a possible workaround, but senators/representatives would never let this agreement happen in their own states.
What I think would be fair is a system that allows the electoral vote of an entire state be split. If a state counted as 7 votes, it would be allowed 3 to one candidate and 4 to another. This allows a much more proportional representation. There's absolutely no reason why votes should count more in Ohio/Florida than any other state. This method also allows independent candidates to actually have a chance. It's unfortunate that nothing like this will ever be passed in legislation today because of our stagnant political system full of selfish scum.
I have been to India recently. A dollar a day is really more than you would think; it's about 43 Rupees. With this many Rupees, you can easily buy a day's worth of meals. You have to understand the culture before you can start throwing out your ideas about how to fix their economy. In the minds of many in India, change is just not important. Money is not important even, like in our part of the world, but rather things family, friends, and morality. I'm not saying there isn't problems; but before you go working on the masterplan to save India, you might want to talk to them.
If you have to read a BOOK to learn about the WWW, then you shouldn't bother. Keep using your books... phone books, hardback encyclopedias, manuals, etc... because I don't want to be the one helping you on the phone later.
... doesn't always echo another man's. This list proves that statement. AdiumX is such a good application in Mac OS X... I'm surprised Apple hasn't taken it up themselves, and frankly, the author of this list all of my respect by not even mentioning it. This is just an absurd list put together by an amatuer. So a downloader has a nice GUI... big deal? Not in my book.
I say just get it right in the first place... inside the laptop. Video cards get obsolete so fast anyways, by the time a new technology actually gets to the market, the miniature (and laptop-compatable) version is available within months. Until monitors have wireless interfaces, I really doubt this kind of technology will take off.
I have to agree with this post. I ran the April and May release quite a bit, and was extremely impressed. Simply put, Vista is eye candy. In the early betas Vista was almost identical to XP, it just looked a new skin and the same old OS, but the latest releases have really turned my head. It's easy to bash something new from MS and write bad reviews about how it won't install right on your Lenovo and such, but after I actually gave it a chance, I was thoroughly impressed by the performance and usability. I can't wait to see the final product.
Perhaps a new line of malware will come along as the new macs grow in popularity, but it will be much different than the PC line of viruses. Mac OS X just doesn't have room and the customization to leave the gap for viruses. What I mean is that the software is written completely different. Safari is debatebly a very decent browser, but it's not customizable like IE is in Windows. There is no activeX, registry, plugins, etc. It runs alone, which greatly affects the difficulty of writing malicious software to take advantage of it. This is really how the majority of software in OS X is. I think the only true way that OS X could be at risk is stand-alone executables that could be downloaded and ran on their own, which of course is dependant entirely on the end-users.
If you consider that San Francisco consists of millions of people... is 18 really a lot? I mean sure, stolen property it stolen property, but the figures sound rather minute.
I'm have the Apple Boot Camp software installed on this machine right now. Setup was easy as ever... just make sure your CD key isn't written on the CD because you can't actually eject externally...
As far as the hardware supported, it's a dream. Everything seems supported on my 17-inch G5 iMac. The video card is supported perfectly, bluetooth is enabled and working, sound, all external devices, everything is working and supported well. If you never saw the mac exterior of the machine, and only the screen, you'd never even be able to tell that it was a Mac (except for the stellar performance).
I see so many questions about why 2 billion dollars is being asked for the ownership of facebook... it's really quite simple. Aside from the pictures and messaging, each member of facebook can list interests, favorite quotes, books, movies, albums, etc etc etc. There is SO much information going around on facebook, and though it may appear useless by looking at just one individual site, the information from every facebook site is pretty meaningful to a marketer. Information is money, just look at google. Will all that data you'd be able to see trends, what products will work where, what's important to this generation, etc. The possibilities with facebook are enormous, and I'm actually surprised that it's not higher than 2 billion.

Not only do the YouTube owners get $1.6 billion for their organization, but they also get out of the recent copyright allegations.

Copying a CD isn't a crime. Copying copyrighted material is. Every CD out there, music or software, isn't necessarily illegal to copy.

Nothing like a little competition! Whatever brings me faster chips...
You're telling me that the fastest computer in the world is a pair of pants??
I thought cell phones powered by standard CPU chips was only something you see in comic books...
because it looks like this ad was made in OpenOffice... puke...
does this mean i'm finally going to be able to use 64-bit graphics?? 32-bit graphics was just getting old...

The public beta 2 is actually availableto the public today.
because usually I'm doing the reverse... using cars to steal laptops. *peels out*

... involving jabba the hut. Finally, my dreams have become a reality!
Great little buy... I'll just put in my nonexistant HD-DVD movie titles... I'm starting to really like this imagination game.
until those rebellious teenage years... although I have to admit that a google query is a lame display of disrespect.
