Google's filing (PDF) affirmed that they have not paid media for articles or done any quid pro quo in exchange for coverage. However, they acknowledged that many people receive money from Google through other means (the company's philanthropy, ad business, etc.), and asked the judge if he wanted further details about those instances.
stupid Google, dont you know that as a corporation you are supposed to deny and impede any attempt to get information about what you've done and tie it up in court for years? just look at Oracle, they deny everything until the bitter end and fight tooth and nail to budge an inch on any information at all. i mean, volunteering information? for shame!
this "don't be evil" stuff is really getting in the way of becoming a well adjusted sociopathic corporation.
It's been gradual but i think we can say it's official that The Big Apple has become The Big Fuck You.
You have obscene pricing, crooked cops, they completely ignoring everything bad going down on Wall Street (and their major cocaine habit), they are a nanny city telling you that you cant have a large soda and now they are going Big Brother on everyone (that isn't part of the government).
Corporations really dont give a damn about what people do so long as they keep getting money from them. However, governments are just itching to break out the swat team for a double parked car.
I think it's time to blow the bridges and drag it out to sea with all the vermin on it.
Nokia has really shot itself in the foot. They could have pushed the porting effort to get Qt on Android and then get a nice native app ecosystem going but instead they went the (classically) shortsighted take-the-money route with Microsoft. Now they are stuck with this burden called Windows 8 Phone which is on a whooping 4% of cell phones. Windows 8 Phone just needs some apps, right? Well it's bad enough to come into the game late but when you have a hostile environment for developers (developers! developers!) you are not going to get anything but crappy ports from Android or iOS from developers that dont know any better.
It seems this culture of CEOs/board members coming and going on a regular basis has made corporate investments shortsighted.
According to this theory, if you are dont get negative feedback it makes you confident so you act polite and dishonest then conversely if you get a lot of negative feedback it makes you unsure of yourself so you are rude but truthful. I get a lot of flack for pointing these kind of things out but this this theory is total bunk.
i looked in on this project to help earlier this year and found that it's 100% bullshit.
1) the Open Compute Project claims to want energy efficiency but they are using AMD Operon and Intel XEON chips (so inefficient!) instead of something power efficient like ARM chips. why? in case you didnt see, the project is COMPLETELY run by big businesses that have proprietary bullshit that they want to run.
2) they also claim to be making low cost machines. those chips cost >$500 each which is waaaaaay more than any ARM chip. right now you can get quad core ARM chips running at 1.2 GHz and 2.2 GHz in the near future so dont give me that "ARM isnt fast enough!" bullshit.
if you dont like what the technology is doing or will do to you then dont use it! the point of technology was never to take over, it was to assist. feel like your cell phone has become a tether? use a land line! think your lawn mower is making you lazy? break out some scissors! scissors cutting into your sense of being? start ripping stuff with your hands!
frankly, i like the idea of technology making sure that when i say, "i think i'm having a heart attack" and fall over my roomba comes out with a defibrillator. it would also be nice to know that when i get shot, my cloths can communicate to get me help or possibly tell my car drive me to the hospital if i'm far away.
technology is a tool and if you dont understand that, so are you.
if you become comfortable in a certain business model you will die. you have to follow where technology is going and possibly steer it to your advantage. newspapers ignored technology and now that it's hurting them, they trying to catch up. they should have been the leaders in the internet realm as it's purely a communications medium. hell, they should have been driving the internet to new places but instead they are reactionary and slow at that. blogs have shown up far too late and they strait up shot themselves in the foot with paywalls which were put in AFTER so many other site with free content thrived by using advertising systems that didnt suck.
you need to try a lot of different things. diversify your strategy or your one basket may be in trouble.
Federal agencies must be assured priority and uninterrupted access to public cloud resources before fully embracing the technology for national security and emergency response IT functions
if this system is required for emergency functions then WHY THE FUCK IS IT "IN THE CLOUD"?!

So "click harder" will be a valid solution, now, so that the computer can finally understand urgency.
How long until someone makes a window manager that allows pressure to control the priority of a window's process?
That sounds terrible. Call the GNOME developers!
But I get to be the second horseman, you insensitive clod!
anyone who plays games that use EA's "always connected" DRM are going to be screwed shortly.

I wanted to send a note that by the end of the day today, OnLive as an entity will no longer exist.
but corporations are people too! if you cause them to stop existing then that is MURDER!
just add that anyone that tries to enforce their patent automatically invalidates said patent.
problem solved!

OH SHIT! PARADOX!
British firms have sold covert surveillance equipment to the former Egyptian regime, as well as to Iran and Syria in recent months...
Perhaps it's just me but shouldn't said British firms be the ones to be punished?
Homey don't play that game.
Maybe they thought he was the Terminator or some other evil cyborg from the future.
That's it! I knew there was something fishy about those Canadian folks.
don't hate the player hate the game
if there are no players, there is no game ergo the players are the game.
