Here's the problem with saying "web 2.0" is bubbleproof. That whole thing about approximation and expectation of ROI based on what you think the company will do in the future. This means it's justified because they see some continued growth indefinitely in many cases. This is the exact same valuation fallacy which caused the original bubble. And in many ways is causing the real estate one.
Large group of other countries : Hey US, We want you to give us control over the internet because we want to know you don't have control over the internet, even though you kinda created it...
US-Govt : Hold on.. let me check here.. oh yeah... go DAIF.
Large group of other countries : But But But... Freedom of the internet.. we should have as much control as you do!
US-Govt : Then go make your own.. and oh yeah.. DIAF.
Geez, one thing the US has done reasonably right and the international community wants to kick us in the mansack over it. sheesh.
Could it possibly be that Google, with their rapidly accelerating growth into a myriad of markets attempting to leverage search success there, might just be afraid of setting a precedent which could leave teeth marks on their respective posteriors later?
Can someone give me a run down of all the things being added to qualify this as a major number release? I see anti-phishing, anything else? Are there some major things going on under teh surface which weren't evident in the FF sites and such? Is this an overglorified minor revision?
Or is this a case of them figuring htat since IE had a major number release to seem like they were keeping up they needed a major number release?
Even worse, my wife works for a division of the Wal-Mart beast as a technical writer, so we have a 10% discount card. Makes it hard to make a lot of reasons to deliberatly avoid buying things there when the budget is a concern.
And I knew.. there would not be ONE serious discussion on the topic. People asking for a cessation of rectal humor are basically.. well.. fartin in the wind.
I can imagine that talk in January will go well. From my read on the article it sounded like he had the talk last January and he's just coming to market with something now.
Jon : Hi Steve.. Jobs : Here's your cease and desist letter , I can have my secretary frame it for you on the way out.
Next week..
Jon announces new software product based on his re-engineering of the DRM to allow people to save files without DRM encumbrance.
They're just trying to keep the tubes clear. As we all know. poker chips clog up tubes, and there are only so many state approved lottery balls we can keep pumping through to clean out the mess.
Again, this is basically an unenforcable law from the perspective of stopping on line gambling as people will work around it with non US banks, the same way the gambling corporations get around gambling laws with non US servers.
As for coding ETF transactions, there are too many times that money is moved without a given purpose at the time other than changing where you are keeping it. Is "Moving money to a better storage facility" going to be a valid transfer code? If so, your premise is shot right there. As at that point you have to legislate thoughts of "Did you decide you were going to gamble with this money before or after transferring it to off-shore-bank.com?"
If they release a new OS with beefed up security by the definition of ot being "beefed up" that would mean no need for third party security addons. Actually I believe Vista has a documented API for how they handle security now so Symantex and others can still write security applications. They're just mad because a lot of what they do isn't needed now. So if they do your version C they will still be hated by anti-virus manufacturers.
Add on to that all the media and other functionality that they were all about touting at the last Apple Developers Conference thing... The real answer is that Apple doesn't have enough market share to be worth going after for parasitic money, and doesn't have the lingering specter of anti-trust actions to make it an easy target.
A) Release an OS without really beefing up security and watch everything bad about XP and prior releases repeat itself on a larger scale.
B) Release an OS and beef up security and see people who have made a living compensating for your poor coding in the past complain that they can't in the future.
The NAPA analogy is shockingly accurate in my opinion. Like what would happen if all the fast food places discovered a way to make the same fast food, but make it healthier enough that people didn't have to worry about dieting anymore? Who would complain? Diet manufacturers of course...
Maybe they realize the impending segmentation of the Internet by large corporate interests (i.e. a non-neutral net) and they're setting up a system to "strike back" at the man? They see a future of the Internet where the big companies really do rule the roost and they're just getting a nice stockpile of ammo to throw around.
Think about it, some of the same things are said about terrorists. If we open up laws to make is easier to hunt down and eliminate them, then they'll up the ante in ways to help insure their continued survival. They also think what they're doing is for the greater good of mankind.
Yes, but only 34.27% of people know that false statistics are more readily believed by people if you have a few numbers after the decimal place to look more "exact".
I'm a Wierd Al fan. Few who hold their geek cred near and dear to them can claim not to be. But I have no idea of this "premier" or anything else involving a new video (like you could see videos on a channel on cable? na.. never.. not now a days).
On the other hand, I catch it on Slashdot and i'm there. And loved it, I cried laughing and got bad looks from people in other cubes until they saw it.. at which point we all geek bonded.
Probably did better for him to have it leaked than played on AoL.

Or the WRATH OF AN ANGRY GOD! heh

The simple rule is TANSTAAFL
If he was going for the theme he would have gotten a space marine outfit for his wife and had one of the toddlers bursting out of her stomach.
Or that you could use a little diet and exercise and your partner is too nice to mention it so they mention something about "cushion" and "cuddly"
in 3...2... 1...

Web 2.0 will be in line for it's reality check.
It was early... I didn't have enough caffeine to be properly hammering our acronyms... I got it right the SECOND time ;)

You're new to this whole "buying technology" thing... aren't you?
If it's not obsoleted within 5 years by new technology it's not technology, it's an small appliance.
Even worse, my wife works for a division of the Wal-Mart beast as a technical writer, so we have a 10% discount card. Makes it hard to make a lot of reasons to deliberatly avoid buying things there when the budget is a concern.

Did you learn NOTHING from Contact?!?!?!?!
Remember, the first rule of government spending, why build one when for just twice the cost you can build TWO!
The second of course being at a top secret location, and/or build predominantly underground.
Am I the only one seeing the parallel?
Sixaxis... Oh I had that back in high school. Got a shot.. cleared it right up baby.. you got nothing to worry about.
Next they're going to expect us to adopt the metric system or some such wackiness.

They are damned either way.
