That's apparently the US version, if you click the link to buy one, they give you the option of the UK version or the EU version. But oddly enough use the picture of the one for the US. It does look like there's a way of changing the prongs.
I disagree, information like this after the fact is more or less worthless. We'll see whether it turns out to be the case or not, but anybody that patches up might very well be in the position of not being able to undo it. A post like this is just a heads up to look out for something that might happen.
Plus it's not like Sony hasn't done anything like this before.
It's the second product of theirs I've owned and the other one was a laptop which was just fine. When I got the PS3 it was cheaper than the other options for a bluray player.
It's not an issue. They already have to take precautions about that with normal meat, this sort of lab grown meat isn't any different. On the upside because you're doing it in a lab or equivalent it's a lot easier to know and verify what strains are present and in what quantities.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to call bullshit. Genetically modification is bad, and I mean possible world ending bad. The problem is that up until now none of the corporations working on it have bothered with any sort of containment strategy, the research itself should be kept in a facility like they use for the CDC down in Atlanta for obvious reasons.
Sure, it hasn't been a problem up until now, but the genes don't stay in the plants you're modifying and there's any number of unforeseen consequences from genes mixing in non-obvious ways.
Eh, that's how that game was, there was a tremendous amount of luck involved. Personally, I preferred the version for the Apple ][ SE which had those cool minigames.
I'm with you on that, Sony definitely isn't above doing this sort of thing, but personally I'm going to wait until there's more information available before updating my firmware just in case. Personally, I won't be buying anything more from Sony after this. If they think that they can treat me like this they can pretty much just fuck themselves with the longest, pointiest, hottest poker they can find.
That's different, the first one is a quote based upon learning from others' published work, the second one is basically piracy and I've never heard of the third. I don't personally think that it would be anywhere near as much of an issue if China was using other people's published research, I mean that's a large part of why it's published. But they use an awful lot of work that's outright stolen from companies having their products produced over there. In the long run that's good for nobody.
Why should there be a Nexus PDA? At this point there's very little difference between my Nexus One and my PDA of a few years ago. Except that my phone has better specs and is generally more functional.
As for the 3G requirement, if you're looking for a PDA then you shouldn't be wasting your money on a smartphone, there are other devices which are designed for such use. It's really a silly way of looking at things.
But, then again, I get modded down and you get modded up twice for missing the point.
So far the Egyptian President has been taking the relative high road for somebody in his position. I'm not sure whether he's worried about war crimes or about being lynched on the way out of town. But as oppressive as things have been, he could have ordered a brutal crack down on the protesters. At this point the armed forces are still trying to avoid unnecessary blood shed.
Not that it means it's alright for him to continue without a legitimate election, but lets keep things in context.
Geeks don't generally try to be different. Whereas hipsters do and that's one hell of a difference. Plus you get a bunch of geeks together and chances are that the thought patterns are going to be pretty similar, in terms of associative reasoning, even if the interests aren't.
That's not geek culture. It involves some sophisticated jokes, but then again that one episode results in Howard getting a robot hand stuck on his dick twice. I think that Red Dwarf being popular is a much better example, or possibly Futurama. But there again there's plenty for a mainstream audience to like.
I think at this point we're arguing over whether a 12" or 13" penis is long enough. The reality is that by that point you're probably going to scare the women away and perhaps focusing a bit more on the general utility might be a better use of time than a meaningless dick comparison contest.
Inferior? My Nexus One does have its foibles, but they're all pretty minor and none of them causes me any particular trouble. I think the WiFi sometimes requiring a reboot is easily the most annoying, and even that is pretty minimal as I'm not typically wanting WiFi anyways.
Or were you one of those people that absolutely insisted that the iPod was the greatest MP3 player ever, without bothering to check out what the competition was doing?
I think it's really easy to compare a single phone, or in this case a single line with a much more diverse set of phones and claim superiority, it's a lot harder if you're trying to compare against the ones which are superior or at least above average.
I'd say that they need a better method of browsing the store. Also some method of filtering out apps would be nice. I'm OK if I have to opt into it being filtered if need be, but as it is I can't browse for new apps on the bus because I really don't want to have to explain to the passenger next to me why I'm downloading porn.
Additionally, while the top apps tend to be better and the ratings help, the reality is that a lot of good applications can get lost if they aren't popular immediately.
I remember a store like that, I think it's by some fruity company, didn't they have some tie in with those Figgy Newton people? I think they also were really big in the mobile music player area as well.
I know, it was Apple where there were numerous at times counter intuitive requirements that developers had to pass in order to get their app in and which could be changed at any time.
Not that it's completely bad in the Appstore, but if that sort of locked down thing is your thing, then you probably aren't going to be wanting an Android device anyways.
That was my thought, apart from apps for things like banking or where it's a free app for users of a given service, I haven't seen anything particularly obvious that's missing. I've yet to have a burning desire for something that was completely unavailable or otherwise replaceable.
It would be nice to get those sorts of convenience apps, but for the most part they're coming and as the marketshare of Android continues to grow, this problem will be remedied at some point. Having an initiative like this is mostly about accelerating that process.
The requirements that Google places on devices that are allowed to connect to the market are pretty lenient. Sure some of them are somewhat arbitrary like requiring a camera, but for the most part they're there in order to ensure that the device can use most of the apps in the market.
It's really not valid to point out that Apple lets the iPod Touch, and iPad into the store, Apple owns the store and manufactures and sells those items. They don't need to set standards on those devices because they can make decisions about how those items are produced. Google OTOH only has the market and control over the trademark to influence the way in which Android devices are designed and marketed.
3G support is a reasonable requirement, at this point no smart phone should be without it, sure if you take a Nexus One to T-Mobile from AT&T or vice versa you lose the use of that aspect, the reality is that most people aren't going to be doing that and it's painful at times giving up the 3G.
You say incorrect, but except in one detail you're agreeing with me. You're right it wasn't the first crop as trained, but it was within weeks of becoming the FBI that agents were being retrained to handle firearms. For somebody that's quoting wikipedia, you've got very little understanding of the history you're talking about. The United States Bureau of Investigation has basically nothing to do with the FBI as it was a completely different organization and didn't have the ability to handle pursuits of suspects across jurisdiction which would become one of the most important features of the FBI.
Just keep telling yourself, the number of parties has absolutely nothing to do with the problem. The whole how many parties are involved thing has absolutely nothing to do with the problems which a system may or may not have. They've also got more parties in Britain than we do in the US, but they have much more serious problems in terms of abuse of power by the government than we do. How does that factor into your hypothesis?
Not really, you do realize that Apple shares are about $335 a piece right now, right? And further more that NTGR shares are only $34 or so a share, right? Which means that there's a pretty minimal difference in terms of EPS and that people value NTGR more than they do AAPL.
In other words, those numbers don't mean what you think they mean.
Honestly, that's loser talk. It would be hard for Apple to not make bucket loads per handheld sold with their business model. And there's enough fanbois to make it work. What happened was that Apple got arrogant, sloppy and started to believe its own hype. Android shouldn't be ahead of iOS in terms of technology, Apple had a sizable lead and blew it.

Unfortunately, they didn't just do all this up front, so a lot of us already have our PS3s and little to no recourse.

You mean they've initiated plans to steal most of the necessary designs from somebody else then plug whatever the remaining holes are.
And a few of us just don't care one way or the other.
