What are you blind man? How about the 10 minute elongated scene with Mace in the heat of battle? Or when Yoda uses his mind power to navigate an enemy shit directly into another ship right before landing? The catroon serious had an element beyond the movies that was awe-inspiring. Very different than the movies, duh, but they were incredible and fantastic in their own right!
Further, most of the models I saw were the video iPod or the Nano.
In Japan, having old technology is against the cultural grain. Japanese who can afford it dump and rebuy all electronics yearly to be the coolest on the block.
Uh sorry - I've written many complex Ajax components that work on Safari, Firefox XP/Mac, IE XP. It's not even that hard you just need to test your code well. GOOGLE? WAKE UP!
I'm a personal huge fan of LaptopDesk.net. http://laptopdesk.net/desks.html . They're ultralight, fold up nice and fit into your laptop bag, they are cheap, totally resistant to everything - and I love the swivel pad that one of these come with so you can rotate your laptop. It's simple, it works.
PDF is a "portable document format". A way to port a (static) document so that it will be viewed and printed identically everywhere
Yea, that was the start but Adobe moved into the realm of html-form-like functionalty and other dynamic behavior that has gone way beyond the original spec. And this stuff has been out for several years. And then, all you have to do is cry "security! security!" and suddenly everyone is upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat Reader to support all your new flashy features! oye!
...but PHP does not force object orientation - you can still write all the sloppy RAD procedural non-variable-verifying web-code you want with PHP! Sure, you can still write sloppy Java code, but PHP does NOT have the enterprise integration, security or advanced language features of Java or *gasp* C#.
Viral infections are easy to prevent, you just dont click on bad shit. Most security conscious IT guys are there already. It's the worm that finds a holes in the windows firewall that I think will be the big one (ala blaster).
Uh, doesn't mainstream IP television need to wait a few years for the infrastructure to catch up? I've tried playing with services like V-spot and the like, and they are spotty at best. Please let me know if I'm wrong, but is this really ready for prime time?
Something I hear few say, is that a LONG design process can be very dangerous to a projects success.
For example, if you have a one year design process, you capture the ebbs and flows of the business over that period of time, more likely you have captured a fluid structure. Your chance of success drops dramatically.
But, if you drop in, do a rapid design with elite analysts, whip out solid, secure code with an elite team in short period of time, you gain a great often undocumented benefit: You capture the business at a discrete moment in time. You codify what is exactly happening with the company at that moment. Often, the company rallies around that codified process.
I love design - but the moral of the story is, solid, detailed design alone will not give you good software or a sucessful project.

> PDFBox is ready. The new tools you want to use, aren't.
That is a fair comment. I thank you for your comments and intelligent commentary in this thread.
Indeed. Number 1, why is "production" version of PDFBox releasing beta code? AH! Cause it's only at version.7! Any why was the PDFToImage disclaimer on the website but not in the actual JavaDoc API, which is what Java programmers use to understand 3rd party libraries? PDFBox is cute but is NOT ready for PDFImaging in a prime-time way, which is why I moved to ImageMagick and other toolkits.
PDFBox does not scale, it's horrible for server applications that need high load. PDFBox is also a memory hog trying to scale images. I know this cause' I built a massive image processing server and get SLAMMED from using PDFBox during high load. I moved to a System.process ImageMagick native solution to solve this problem.
Jobs is not a Vegan, (from Wiki:) "Jobs is a pescetarian (not a vegetarian or vegan as is often claimed) -- although he does not eat mammalian meat, he reportedly eats fish from time to time."
In my case, my HIPS system would alert me if something was going down. If I'm asleep, I will not be able to react. (I don't have a pager set up). So if I'm not in front of my machine, I turn "off" the net via my software firewall (Kerio).

but the Clone Wars sucked ASS. Holy crap

The three most boring activities:
Listening to someone describing their dreams
Wow, you are a selfish prick. If you listen to women talk about their dreams more you might get laid more! At least PRETEND you are not bored!
Than again people watch poker and golf on TV....
I find TV poker to be very meditative - I like all the real-time statistics of who has the best chance to win!

Ever see the cheesy Tom Cruise movie Coctail? Great quote...

I for one welcome our light-sensitive autonomous slide mold human-killer-robot-pilot overlords!
I'm sorry - with all the PHP holes over the last year - PHP and Security seems like a contradiction in terms!
Remember how long it took to break DVD encryption? http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9911/05/dvd.hack .idg/ Arrogant media companies - I bet the same kindda deal goes down with next gen as well.

My commodore 64. But please, if you got a port I'm all ears!
Continued being great?
This is no small feat - look at how that chick from HP fucked up the company. I'd say schmidt IS doing this job just by keeping the ball rolling.
Google is so far ahead, they are going to focus their energies elsewhere. I'm waiting for the Yahoogle merger!
Yea, but what I mean is - Google calls a Beta product a Beta product. You're MS product that is in Beta is more like an early Alpha release. For example, Google News was in Beta for three years before they released it. http://news.com.com/2061-10812_3-6030207.html?part =rss&tag=6030207&subj=news
