It won't work on a digital SLR camera either. By the time any system could detect the sensor, the picture is already taken. The sensor is hidden until the shutter opens.
A lot of others have stated plenty of valid reasons. However, their HW is crap. I bought an AV receiver that not only died but it took my high-end JBL speakers out with it. That thing had a joke for a heatsink. After watching one movie, the case of that thing was literally hot enough to burn. Looking into this model (not a low-end model either) on the web, it seems others had the same heat problems with this receiver. I replaced it with a Yamaha and that works great.
I have a Sony DVD player that won't play a lot of DVDs. One CD player that didn't make it past 3 years old before it croaked.
I USED to be a Sony fan but I resent giving them good money for crap.
Your premise is that HP was a computer/printer company and that is it. That is what HP has become. I don't buy anything HP post-Carly. Pre-Carly, I bought everything I could HP.
I was coming from Utah back to California. We had just stopped in Primm, NV to eat. Just after Primm, we saw what we thought was some crazy guy tearing up the desert after drinking way too much beer. The dust cloud behind this "guy" was incredible - I saw it from miles away. The vehicle was coming towards Primm from the California side and probable a mile off the freeway. As the vehicle past us, that thing was bouncing pretty good. I remember commenting to my girlfriend that that "his" suspension wasn't going to be the same after that. It wasn't until a couple of days later that I figured out what we had seen. Had I known, I would have stopped to watch and take pictures.
Once they find out you are going to die of a long, painful and VERY EXPENSIVE death, I am guessing they are more concerned at how much their medical insurance costs are going to increase because of your illness. Maybe they are thinking it would be better if you were hit by a bus (since you are going to check out anyway).
And, oh yeah, make sure those comments are up to snuff.
Employee Bob: "Boss, I hate to bring bad news but I have incurable cancer. I need to review the comments in my code right away and make sure that someone can step in for me when I am gone".
Boss: "Bob, this in a strange way, is very fortunate. Meet Rajii here from India. He was going to be replacing you anyway. Its a win-win!"
I have participated in one of their "surveys" and received a "summary" of the results. The questions seemed loaded tending to push the answers to favor whom I suspected paid for the survey. Not suprisingly, the results confirmed my suspicion. This paper sounds like the same sky-is-falling crap that was Y2K. It would be interesting to go back and see what these "analysts" said about that.
For the last year and half or so, we have been prohibited from bringing music CDs to work due to security concerns. We all thought that was a bit drastic at the time but Sony has proven that the policy is totally warranted. Thanks Sony!
I will be looking to other brands when I need to buy something.
The gov does not want to stop illegal aliens or fine anybody for hiring them. My point was that there are already laws on the books with stiff fines for employers engaged in hiring them - and they are routinely ignored.
I think that this law will be used to reject applicants (they don't want) for not meeting all the qualifications - thus breeding more discrimination, not less.
It is also illegal to hire an illegal alien in the US. How many businesses got fined for doing that last year nation wide? The answer is somewhere between 1 and 0.
This will be ignored.
I was one of the unlucky bastards who bought one of these pieces of shit. I have replaced the HD twice, on #3 now. It turns out the HD just cooks away. You have to monitor the HD temp which means maybe 30 minutes of use before the HD is really too hot and you have to shut it down. If you want to shut it down quickly, press below the keyboard with your left hand. It seems to cause the battery to disconnect. It used to happen to me while tyoing all the time before I figured out what was happening.
But I digress... I replaced those HDs myself (not wanting to surrender my data to a corporation). I didn't save the receipts because I really didn't think there was any reason to do so. So, I am probably out of luck.
I noticed that on my settlement notice, one of the "rewards" was a coupon to be redeemed on MORE Toshiba shit. Fat chance of me taking them up on that one because I feel they screwed me over. I am not going to EVER buy another Toshiba product. Toshiba, welcome to my shit list. Notice GM is at the top of that list.
"Disclaimer: I work for Motorola, but I'm not involved with any of the above-mentioned products."
I HATE Motorola. They don't give a flying $hit about their customers. I will NEVER knowingly use/buy anything associated with Motorola. I wish Motorola would hire Carly Fiorina as the next CEO. I hear she is available.
BFD. By that time, Flash will be faster than it is currently, with greater capacity, smaller, lighter and more robust. Hard drives are not the most desireable form of storage for these sorts of devices.
There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damn lies and statistics as Benjamin Disraeli or Mark Twain said depending on to whom you believe the quote should be attributed. You can justify nearly anything to 95% confidence depending on HOW your sample is selected. I think the issue here is that the sample is not at all representative of the population of the US in general.

So, where is this FUD you were talking about?
I won't be buying anymore Sony junk, period. I don't care if it is late or not.
I use both at the same time!!
...to the unemployment rate? Just a thought.
Who has time to compete in a competition when we are so busy working to earn gas money?

...available. She has lots of experience running a high tech company. Well ok, she ran a high tech company into the ground but still.
Are we sure these researchers haven't been hittin' the weed a bit too much?

"They have to do MASSIVE regression testing." Ahhh, that explains it. It must be working because IE regresses with each and every day.
Alternately, this is a perfect application for Image Stabilization technology

Uh, what if you already have a weak signal? Wouldn't you be cut off and, even worse, NO VOUCHER?!!! Egads!!
This whole thing is stupid. Over the air TV sucks and has created a whole society of mind-numbed, moronic, robots.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were them.
Let me be the first to coin the term "picotechnology". I don't know anything about it except that it will be sub-molecular electronics.
