Do I smell sabotage? It's quite ironic that all these Apple programs are "broken" in Windows Vista. Why not other programs? Maybe I'm thinking a bit to farfetched, but I wouldn't be surprised if somebody from the Microsoft side deliberately told its software engineers to somehow break compatablity with Apple programs.
I totally agree to what you're saying. Their stock has NOT taken too much of a hit admist all of this controversy.
But I do think there are other people, not just us 'techies' who actually do care what's happening. What I find funny about all this is how AT&T still denies that the room had anything to do with the NSA program. I mean, honestly, who in here DOESN'T THINK they were eavesdropping? I think they knew perfectly what was going on, what was happening, and how this was illegal.
Well, I don't see how this is a security feature if we can still copy what we're watching with just a lower quality 960x540(which is 540p btw). I think 960x540 is decent quality and nothing to cry about.
I wouldn't be suprised if I saw koffice and openoffice merge sometime in the future. Althougth I don't think it'll ever happen, it would bring some sort of unity and give us open source users an opportunity to trump MS office and yet another reason why we don't need to use a certain OS but in fact use whatever OS WE WISH so that we could type files in a.doc format or whatever format.
Sounds like a good start for IE7. If vista comes around, I still won't use IE7 anyway. It's reputation is tarnished and no matter what Microsoft does, it won't bring back us Firefox, Opera, Safari and etc users.
If I was Microsoft, I'd implent IE competely away from shell and work with it individualy. I think it'll solve the majority of the problems.
I dont see the difference between keeping a recorded song from the radio and from keeping a song on my computer. In the end it's the same - music. I'm perfectly aware of quality but lets not get into that.) Now i'm not sure if the record industries lose money because we record songs out of our radio's albeit with worser quality, but I think it's the same idea as downloading off your favorite P2P client, bittorent, or newsgroups. It's the same thing as when VHS and betamax came out. The industry was worried about this new technology and how they'll lose tremendous amount of money because of it. I think record industries should expect that their music sales will decline because of techonlogy particulary the ability to compress music to realistic sizes with decent quality, and the ability to transfer this media with realitive ease. Giving people subpoenas for dowloading songs won't help, and I think it's just pointless. You're not going to make up technology's bite out the music market by doing this.
Actually that place is not "a nondescript graffiti-covered brick place with a rollup door and just enough identification to take deliveries" I live a few streets away from there actually, just never knew they did this kind of business online. It's a pretty decent neighborhood with a lot of orthodox jews mixed in with hispanic people.
Being a real New Yorker, especially coming from Brooklyn, you can sort of tell apart which kinds of stores are legit or not. If you ever visited the 34th Street area (and beyond) around 6th avenue or Broadway in Manhattan you'd know that A LOT of those electronic stores let alone camera shops all operate together. The price tags on the windows of those shops all have the same yellow border with red lettering used as font. It's funny watching tourists looking at those cameras or electronics because most of them are actually stolen or used. I wouldn't be surprised if it was all owned by some bigger entity, operated elsewhere.
I don't even understand why we're still debating about this. I'm not trying to be pro-american here, but we did technically make it, so why can't we govern it? There's no problems with the way everything is set up now, so why even screw it up? I see this as every country just wanting a piece of their small pie, slowly trying to take away the U.S. control of the DNS or whatnots. It seems like it's all a game to all the other countries as to see who can 'win' the biggest control of this.
