"I won't buy no Apple product no more."
That's a triple negative. Does that cancel out a double negative and make it proper English? If so, I'm stealing it.
Instead of going to court every other day, wouldn't it be easier to just threaten all retail outlets with not supplying them with products if the sell someone else's.
I don't see Anobit on that list of suppliers. And, considering Apple just acquired Anobit for its NAND flash ECC firmware, it makes me wonder why they'd do that without having even used its product first. Or could this list from Apple be only what it's willing to reveal?
I don't mean to come off as too cynical, but I mean, I can see being the first person to hike to the South Pole, fly to the South Pole -- heck even snowmobile to the to the Pole. But, what the heck is the purpose of biking to the Pole -- simply because it's yet another form of transportation? Maybe it's just me. I don't get it.
I just know somewhere in the process of the multi-billion dollar drone development project someone must have said, "You know. I think a self-destruct mechanism might be a good thing to add."
Of course, I can also imagine someone saying, "Yeah, they'll never even see it. It's stealth."
All that texting, hi-res photo taking, streaming video, game playing, global positioning information, realtime video chat on top of being able to have a telephone conversation from anywhere would certainly leave fed up. How much longer do I have to wait for teleportation!
Actually, I like Red Box. It's the cheapest rental around and the dispensers are everywhere -- where I shop for food, electronics, etc... But, they've got to follow McDonald's pricing model and base their profits on volume.
It's been around for a while now. Haven't you noticed when you log into your social networking sites, you get ads based on what you've purchased or the hotels you've stayed in? It's what map reduce technologies will allow these companies to do more and more of in the future. Imagine this: your frequent flier miles cards, super market frequent shopper cards, credit cards, online transactions and people with whom you socially interact with online -- all that data will be used to compile an consumer profile on which companies will base their marketing and advertising. Cell phone companies already use it to figure out how likely it is that you'll jump ship to another carrier -- based on the habits of your friends on social networks. It's all very creepy and big brotherish.
Consider that it took until 1804 for the world's population to reach 1 billion. Then, it took another 123 years to reach 2 billion in 1927. It then it took 33 years to reach 3 billion in 1960, and 14 years to reach 4 billion in 1974. Most recently, it only took 11 years to add a billion from 1999 to 2011. Something has got to give.
Yeah, that was my fault in the Slashdot submission, which I always write up far too quickly. The article doesn't say Apple has Superspeed USB on its systems -- the Slashdot summary does. Doesn't anyone on Slashdot take time to actually read the article?
Sony has a Thunderbolt port on the expansion module, not the computer itself. So, that would be a "no". Sony does not have a Thunderbolt port on its computer. So, the article is correct.

When I used this laser for my Power Point presentation, the projection screen ended up looking like a kiddy's scissor class had cut it up for a paper doll!
Let's not forget that the solar power industry is competing with an oil industry that get $5 billion a year in subsidies from the U.S. federal government, almost as much as the industry pays in federal income tax ($5.7 billion).
FTA: "The move from ICD-9 to ICD-10, which changes out about 15,000 codes for approximately 68,000 new ones, comes at a time when care providers are already under the gun to implement and prove to the federal government the meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs)."
Try reading the actual article next time.
Well, that's alleged. I don't think its a "tip of the hat" by any means.
The story goes that music producer Rob Fusari, who helped Stefani write some of her earlier songs, compared some of her vocal harmonies to that of Freddie Mercury. Fusari helped create the moniker Gaga, after the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga". Gaga was in the process of trying to come up with a stage name when she received a text message from Fusari that read "Lady Gaga." He explained, "Every day, when Stef came to the studio, instead of saying hello, I would start singing 'Radio Ga Ga'. That was her entrance song. [Lady Gaga] was actually a glitch; I typed 'Radio Ga Ga' in a text and it did an autocorrect so somehow 'Radio' got changed to 'Lady'. She texted me back, "That's it." After that day, she was Lady Gaga. She's like, "Don't ever call me Stefani again."
The New York Post, however, has reported that this story is incorrect, and that the name resulted from a marketing meeting. Considering Stefani's penchant for exaggeration (i.e., she was an outcast in school), I'm prone to believe the NY Post story. http://www.tntmagazine.com/tnt-today/archive/2011/04/27/lady-gaga-accused-of-faking-tears-over-school-bullying-claims.aspx

Very well said, sir.

You people have no appreciation for the number of small children, pregnant mothers, and elderly veterans the TSA has saved this country from.

They should have at least tried to sell it on eBay first to recoup some of those tax dolars -- pick up only, of course.

Welcome to the world of typos. It happens. Move along and comment on the content of the article.
I see crazy knows no borders.
You bought a $300 flashlight that lasts 15 minutes per charge? Why pray tell? To light newspaper on fire and impress friends and family?

Just some old retirees who've pruned up with too much sun.
That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

That's highway robbery for that album. It's pretty much been panned by most critics -- not surprisingly. So what now? She's running out of costumes and gimmicks. http://www.boston.com/ae/music/cd_reviews/articles/2011/05/23/lady_gagas_born_this_way_is_a_long_awaited_letdown/
That's two times the number of frames per second as they used in Steamboat Willie. How far we've come!
