And the fact the web is killing retail makes all this sound so meaningless. Wow they can pickup human behavior and manipulate it to try and get a sale, yet the retail sector is recording record low sales...

Let's not forget the constant electrical issues qantas planes have experienced on their NEW commercial airliners.
Perhaps so, but it's not like Boeing will give India the cream of the crop or at a competitive price. Australia's purchase of Hornets put us behind Indonesia's air attack capability, 18m a plane vs the 250k per mig, Hornets are nice planes but put us way out numbered against our nextdoor neighbors.
Boeing is over priced, French, russian, sweden all make pretty good fighters even so Boeing struggles to pull off cobra maneuvers. Russians can perform landing cobras and the, swedish planes can do variants of these maneuvers not quite as good as the US equivalent, actually the US equivalent matches up pretty poorly.
Stealth fighters would be the only reason to buy US and china is quickly filling that gap.
Probably the fact that facebook hasn't had as much b2b contact as say google had. Adwords is what really kept google afloat, all other sponsored advertising companies pale in comparison to adwords really.
To not steal the words of the late Kurt Cobain "I'm too busy acting like I'm not Naive. I've seen it all, I was here first."
Where does facebook have to go? Where google / bing / yahoo hasn't already been?
Okay, so consider but my question is still valid. If the overall value of technology is dropping cloud computing, saturated markets, tablet pcs, cheap notebook pcs.... How is this 10x figure estimated? Is it more than 10x then?
In any case the dollar may not be domestically changing, internationally it has, oil / gold prices keep going up, and the US keeps printing money like it's going out of fashion. I guess one could call it the unofficial inflation:)
You know in a previous discussion I had on/. I had someone point out one of the advantages the US has over Asian markets and that is their ability to innovate, where Asian markets are only good for the grunt work and don't have the same innovative spark.
Thanks for pointing out exactly why not only is the US's ability to manufacture technology is under threat but also the US's ability to innovate. Patients are the worlds most absurd cock blocking technique of the 21st century and a innovation killer.
All the US market really has is legacy and sentimentality for the American way. Eventually that will go... sooner or later.
Okay, I'm not going to argue your points because I'm right there with you, especially on the innovation. Me being a purist I not only appreciate what your saying but I also follow it myself. Problem is, I'm not rich, I'm middle class, self employed and own a bucket load of valuable IP.
Do you know what all the my likeminded business colleges remind me of constantly? "being a purist doesn't make you rich" which is an american philosophy that we've taught the east WHILE at the same time bringing^HHHHHHHHgiving them innovation at the same time.
And they have pleeeennnttty of it and the world knows it. The amount of coal mines expanding in Aust is absolutely ridiculous and as result towns and jobs are lighting up like there is no tomorrow.
I don't buy the racist stuff. I think his general vibe is good he's problem is his lack of defense on military defense, he needs to sell the American people he knows best, at the moment it's too scattered and high level "philosophical".
Having RP in power would mean a better America but his course in doing so will hurt. The US needs to hurt before it gets better maybe RP will hurt a bit too much.
Twenty? I'd say 5 to 10. Problem is that on an international scale there is very little that comes out of the US that isn't via Asia. Let em see.... Film and TV, Music..... And yeah not a hell of a lot more.
What it will boil down to is free trade agreements the more they become redundant the quicker the US will fall prey.
Okay, but requesting the code? No, we have and entire industry built on system auditing, data3, dimension data for instance.
She has absolutely no right to code, it's showing a) lack of industry knowledge b) assuming she knows better than the developers of an FDA approved system.
If the article read "cyborg lawyer demands a code audit on pacemaker". 10-20k later (far cheaper then court costs) we wouldn't even hold a point of discussion.
I wonder if you could sue your parents for passing on a disability or illness, last time I checked my folks were not FDA approved.....
Interesting can of worms here. Where does the buck stop? Whose responsible? Philosophically no easy answer and the defense could pose counter arguments that I'd imagine by the time a verdict is presented could mean the plaintiff could die of old age.
But the argument can be made for a lot of things, recently Russia hacked a US UAV and was able to land it. Does that mean passengers of commercial airliners can request code audits on the planes because they transmitt RF? Or home wifi's, does that mean buying a wireless modem gives you code access....
Closed source intellectual property should be given some protection.
Maybe my opinion on this is one sided because I sell property code that I've written to customers knowing that if having source access denied me money for over 5 - 7 years or development, research and my own personal sacrifices.
I believe open source has it's place, it belongs to the academics and people who have the time to do things purely for passion and the love.
As for pacemakers the software can bug out, the little pump or whatever, motor or any of the little bits within the device could fail. What this person should do is invest in knowing fall over processes, choose a product that hosts a DR approach (keeping in line with the software spirit of things).
All this screams to me is the arrogance of one person thinking they are better than the professionals at their jobs. She would have to be some down right prodigy to be able to see into the code and make such insightful judgements and then what pose them as valid?
Slashdot Mirror
In other news hackers can lift credit card details from used wallets. Point is don't leave credit cards in your wallet if you plan to sell it.
No .... Uhhhh .... No ..... If you're going to mock Aussie slang atleast slag it off properly.
Tinny? You mean stubbie ..
And the fact that maccas boast free wifi isn't a concern at all?
And the fact the web is killing retail makes all this sound so meaningless. Wow they can pickup human behavior and manipulate it to try and get a sale, yet the retail sector is recording record low sales...
Losing 1.6b for Apple would mean a low quarter for them. Not end of the world damaging but is in their best interests to avoid if they can.
1.6b is a sweet bucket load of iPhone sales.
You're missing out on seeing the pioneer of laser-latex-flexing :)
Watching Catherine Zeta-jones flex around a bunch of lasers ... Yeah maybe I missed the definition myself
And your pitching that Boeing has the best tech?

Leaked financials ... Months before going IPO?
Let me see is facebook taking their marketing ploys from apple now?
Probably the fact that facebook hasn't had as much b2b contact as say google had. Adwords is what really kept google afloat, all other sponsored advertising companies pale in comparison to adwords really.

3x figure ... Sorry don't know where 10x came from:)
Okay, so consider but my question is still valid. If the overall value of technology is dropping cloud computing, saturated markets, tablet pcs, cheap notebook pcs.... How is this 10x figure estimated? Is it more than 10x then?

Over three times of that of Google, does that factor in the dwindling over inflated USD?
LOL

* oztiks points to Australia and the AUD ...
And they have pleeeennnttty of it and the world knows it. The amount of coal mines expanding in Aust is absolutely ridiculous and as result towns and jobs are lighting up like there is no tomorrow.
But you have an unparalleled military. What do you think that is for?
For being sidetracked just enough for the Chinese to steal ya ammo when the American people aren't looking ;)
and high speed pizza delivery.
And god bless them for doing so :) that and puff pastry cheese filled crusts!

Okay, that's cool but shes running a fools errand. She's wanting the code she hasn't asked the supplier to have it independently audited.
Where's the iso standard? Where's the compliance rating? Where's industry watch dog?
She's a lawyer she had to pass the bar hmmm .... So again where does the buck stop really?
