Oh, I'm pretty sure it does. Everybody knows that umbrellas make it rain. It's just common sense. But I guess you elite Harvard liberals wouldn't know much about that./end sarcasm
It will dominate because Microsoft will stop allowing any vendor to sell pre-installs after 2007. I think 90% of new SO/HO machines will have Vista by mid-2008; whether they asked for it or not.
So men and women are different and should be treated accordingly right? But also be treated equally? So we should embrace diversity while simultaneously demanding equality? I guess that's why there are rarely 'deadbeat moms' in the news or 'crack-whore dads'.
I think the point of the article wasn't about how important the quality of typefaces and fonts are, but some reasoning behind why some people get more fatigued than others reading text from a computer screen.
I guess in the same way that 'need' is not 'necessity', sure. I am speaking of want as a base urge; wanting some for pure emotional reasons. Like 'I don't need a new car but I want a new car'. I'm not talking about want as in 'I want to go to the doctor becasue I'm sick'.
Oh yeah. It's all about the hyperbole these days. Everybody knows that hyperbole is always a million times better that accuracy. All day long they know that.
I used to work for a repro shop and that's how all thier big printers were handled (kinda). We bought several $150K printers from a company called Oce. So the machines belonged to us. But they were so complex that they required pretty regular maintenence. So the Oce techs were contracted to keep them running. In return for that, we got a heavy discount on toner and paper from Oce.
So we did actually get to buy the machines, but they didn't really do anything unless the manufacturer's tech kept them running for us.
The only thing I don't own outright are my home (I rent) and my car (until I pay it off). And, as far as those go, ownership is 90% posession, so I at I own 90% percent:)
Capitalism is a system based on the base greed of men (and women). It's not "work hard and see reward"; it's "you want something, you work to get it".
..why can't they just sell the printers and then charge like $1000 per cartridge? Don't they kind of follow that model now anyway (i.e. $150 dollar printer that needs $300 toner cartridge)?
This person sounds like someone who's daddy didn't get them a pony when thay were a kid. Or maybe they were picked on is school.I mean come on, spam is the bane of the IT industry. But's it's not like it's a life-and-death issue. Put that passion towards things that really matter!
I guess...maybe in the same way a mail carrier "works for" George Dubya. But here's something that will blow your mind: Hitler was also a catholic in good standing (he was excommunicated, but only posthumously). So it's like he was working for the Pope... weird.
The problem is the entire article is just more "teh-Google-is-for-awesome" tripe. Google's great and all, but praise-for-pay (or in this case, praise-for-A's)journalism should never be considered news; just marketing. I will give the article props however; they at least identified the author as a student.
I am pretty certain this number relates to how many iPods Apple has sold to retailers; not how many those retailers have sold to the public. Wal-Mart places an order for iPod and bam! There's another 100,000 units 'sold'. And are we talking about all iPods here? Some of those 1st gen Shuffles are practically given away by some retailers (i.e. all orders over $499 get a free iPod Shuffle!).
Totally. How could this book be any 'quicker' that a Google search. Maybe the book using indexing like "What's that one query command I used that one time?...... page 156"
I don't think I would want to live in a society that *didn't* understand why free speech cannot be absolute. If your speech poses a direct danger to someone, like yelling fire in a crowded theater, it should be illegal.
I understand that's not really what were talking about with Germany here, but a society can (and really must) have selective free speech.

Good thing the headline isn't slanted or editorialized. Oh wait....
I doubt most corporations are not going to buy new workstations (after 2007) and then dig out an old XP image to put on them.
And as far as the consumer market goes, they take what they're given. You can't go to Best Buy and start asking for a custom OS configuration.

and use the shower as my excuse? Probably not. I guess that's just for "meatier" showers. har.

Um,I'm pretty sure it does.
Question is, is Apple counting their sales to Wal-Mart or the sales to the end-user? Or are they (gasp) counting both?

And this whole 'article' is just a school project:
