There was a slashdot article a month or so ago about how they got android to work on a small pc, but the GUI wasn't all there and they couldn't get it to work. So if they combine the desktop work with this gui combination, android will be a competitor in the netbook market.
"It's automatically updating the entire JRE, and you're worried about some little plugin? That's like opting in to unprotected anal sex and then freaking out at the post-coital cuddling."
Can you phrase that in some form of a car analogy?
Well, its as unique as iPhone or powerbook. And back then, in 1996, (November 6, 1996 to be exact), I remember notebook computers browsing the net, but not a notebook designed for internet connectivity as its primary purpose.
A trademark registration is generally regarded as prima facie evidence of a legitimate interest. However, if the mark is not used in substantial interstate commerce after a period of time, the mark can be invalidated with a successful court challenge.
However, if they were using the mark, or intending to use the mark in a good faith effort, Dell can lose and open themselves to paying Psion's legal fees as well as a counter suit, cessation of use in commerce, and a healthy share of any profits used under that term. (i.e. i can defend a trademark on a device i'm designing even if i haven't sold a single unit).
One final thing, IANAL, but I talk to them when I'm feeling masochistic.
I have 2 eyes, why not have 2 beams shoot into both eyes at the same time at different spots looking at a white background, or black background to detect?
Why do two people need to agree when one well educated physicist can agree with themselves? (cause all the best ones are crazy, oh wait, those are mathematicians)
Seeing as you have to go through great hoops, (most of them not legal), to get anything Cuban around here, how is the Cuban government running american products? I suppose they purchased from south american, european or asian retailers, but one has to wonder, how many legit copies of windows are in Cuba? Can Microsoft go in to sue the Cuban government about illegal copies? What jurisdiction would Microsoft have to keep Cuba from enjoying their cracked copies until communism dies?
I love the itouch for being all the good parts of the iphone minus the badparts (the crappy phone quality coupled with a crappy network and contract, [never met any serious phone users who praise the iphone's phone quality, uptime, and availability]). Why turn a really cool internet appliance into a kludge-phone?
I love my ipod touch for cooking, I bring up the browser, look at a recipe, and its right there next to the stove. I love my ipod touch for games when i'm bored on the go. I love my ipod touch for movies on the go. I love my ipod touch for being 99.95% as useful as an iphone near a free wifi hotspot.
I also love that it can do all of the above without drawing one nano-watt from my real phone's battery.
PS. the ipod touch does not have a built in microphone or ear speaker, why kludge a microphone attachment onto a beautiful internet appliance/ebook reader/gaming device/portable movie device?
Congrats, kde4 has finally realized what macintosh has known all along and and microsoft is recently getting: It doesn't matter what you can or can't DO with an operating system as long as you look good while doing it.
Vista just caught a lot of flak because it was a worthless, intrusive piece of junk that got in the way of word processing, email, and video watching. KDE4 lets people do the tasks that they want to do and for people who can't tell the difference between a pentium and a hard drive, are you surprised they aren't hip to the latest window manager screenshots and developments? I'd like to see a spoof video where someone takes a gnome that's been crafted to look and act like OSX and do the same thing comparing Gnome to OSX
From what i've heard about kde4, the bugs in the 4.0 release might make most vista users feel right at home.
It is, it takes a permanent chunk of your ram, but I'd recommend not having it start at boot and double clicking the start script. (although for my work, it was used enough that I upgraded the ram in the computer to accommodate for the chunk) You should have terminal access within a minute or two.
you should try using AndLinux. It installs a build of linux that runs along side windows (via the colinux kernel). Its really nice to be able to double click a terminal icon and get a command terminal into a fully functional unix like environment in windows (you apt-get from the ubuntu repositories).
Wasn't this law just borrowed from japan, which has been dealing with this kind of stuff for a while? I could have sworn that I read about some similar law a few years ago due to the gropey-nature of japanese city dwellers.
"The lowest known dose fatal to an adult has been 3,200 mg - administered intravenously by accident. The fatal oral dose is in excess of 5,000 mg - the equivalent of 40 strong cups of coffee taken in a very short space of time. "
There has long been the suspicion that Microsoft fostered piracy because an IT person monkeying around with a Microsoft product at home might recommend it at work when asked. Or a business might eventually grow a conscience (or an auditor) and convert a bunch of pirated seats into legit ones. You know, the whole "Try before you buy" tactic.
DRAT!!! I own a zune, but I bought it "before they were cool because Obama used one". I'm gonna have to ditch it in favor of a usb-humping-dog-mp3-stick (its the internet, i'm sure they make one).
Oh wait, the Zune will never be cool.
PS. I have NEVER seen someone else use the zune, and I fly quite a bit and will routinely see 10-12 ipods in the airport each trip, so its not like i'm staying away from the areas where someone derives benefit from an mp3 player.
First of all, this isn't a straight up "Libraries of Congress" (better known and mentioned in prior posts as a LoC). Its the web archiving arm of the LoC. I call for the coining of a new term, WASoLoC (Web Archival System of Library of Congress) which can be defined as X * Y^Z = 1 WASoLoC where X is some medium that people can relate to (books, web pages, documents, tacos, water, etc), Y is a volume (Libaries, Internets, Encyclopedias, end to end from A to B, swimming pools, etc) and Z is some number that marketing drones come up with because it makes them happy in their pants.
Honestly, How am i supposed to know what "..the amount of archived web data in the US Library of Congress as of May 2008." Looks like!? I've been to the library of congress, i've seen it, its a metric shit-ton of books (1 shit-ton = Shit * assloads^fricking lots), but i have no clue what the LoC is archiving, what rate they're going at it, and what the volume is of it.
I have no problem with this article, really, but I had thought that the military prosthesis tech was trickling down to commercial grade devices. Its a little disappointing to think that even though a prosthetic arm with individual fingers is available and in use, if a civilian loses an arm in an accident, they'll never see it, except if they visit someone in a VA hospital... (The article mentions that the target audience is veterans because commercial devices only open/close the hand).
I have no problem with giving a best attempt to restore quality of life for those who almost lost it all serving their country, but I'm just wondering how long the average joe will have to wait to get his hand on this tech.
There's a free e-book App for the iphone and ipod touch, Stanza, that gives access to project Gutenberg and a few other sites. Its nice to carry access to 150,000 free books in the pocket.
I'm sure that there's a pay app or an app that plugs into an e-book store. That being said, amazon, or anybody else, isn't plugging the iphone as an ebook reader, which is why it probably won't catch on.
If you're buying an iphone just for image, chances are that you want people to SEE you reading that new "must-read" book in the airport, not gonna happen with an ebook. If you're buying the iphone because of all of its toys, chances are you're saving your battery for labyrinth or a watching a movie. If you're one of the few people who bought the iphone because of its call reception and awesome phone features... I wish you luck.
Last i checked, the liver is in charge of alcohol removal. It processes it out into something that can then be flushed out by the kidneys, not absorbed by them, so unless the ultrasound waves are applied by your liver, the ethanol in the wine is still ethanol in the wine.
By the way, the best way to improve a cheap glass of wine (well, i say $9 a bottle or so, anything less gives me a headache), is with a whisk. Get a tiny little whisk and vigorously stir the glass of wine until fully aerated. Then drink.

I for one welcome our blinking undead overlords.
i think this is a prototype, so it may be in the range of 70-300k for that first set. The price may come down once they start producing more.
