Umm, HTC makes the Google Nexus One, in fact on the back of mine both names are prevalent. HTC just made it more or less to the specs that Google wanted, I'm sure that HTC contributed plenty in terms of expertise, but this was the phone that Google wanted made.
I've got one and it's a really nice phone, it's nice to see that rather than giving up completely, Google's just moving the sales to stores rather than killing the phone completely. It's a good phone and I'm sure people will see that when they play with it in store.
Not really, I doubt they'll be completely phased out anytime soon. Internal combustion is great for things like ships and trains, both of which could use this technology. Basically for places where it's inconvenient or impossible to ensure power lines or sufficient battery capacity.
That's not entirely true. Dr. Porsche a really long time ago more or less solved that problem. By inventing a vehicle that was propelled by an electric engine but powered by a gas one. Meaning that at all times the gas engine was working at it's most efficient gear ratio, but since the electric engine was driving the actual wheels it could be very efficient and give just the power needed at any given time.
No it isn't. If it were then we'd all be in a world of trouble because journalism would cease to exist. In fact CA law specifically shields journalists from these sorts of search warrants being issued, let alone executed. I find it hard to believe that this is really the same thing as stealing if the state legislature grants immunity from search warrants being issued.
Previously you had a choice as to whether or not to update the firmware and they weren't doing it to previous models that shipped with the ability. Now they aren't giving you a meaningful choice and their patching the older machines to remove functionality. Hence why people are just now being so upset about it. Personally I think it was a dick move to not include it on the slim models without putting it very clearly on the packaging that it was a crippled machine, and not a real PS3.
O really? It's actually cost effective to do so when you're stuck with no replacement parts at all. And the Feds have a nifty thing they do where lawsuits just magically get dismissed for national security purposes. If they want to haxxor the thing so that they have guaranteed replacements, they can do it. And it will likely be the most cost effective and least damaging choice.
This is in some fashion less believable than that "death panel" rumor that's been circulating? Of the two, this one is far more believable in my opinion.
Only an idiot let's his wife talk him into that. It's hardly unheard of for a woman to get her husband to have the operation then later leave him and decide that she's just finished having kids with him.
Ultimately it's his body, if she wants to finish things off, perhaps she should have surgery herself. Or is that people own their own bodies stuff only applicable to female bodies?
Don't be absurd, what this means is that all Cable companies will be reduced to the same standard of care was Comcast. Comcast will then rebrand itself as being 10 years ahead of the others.
And if you pre-order now you can get Amnesia: The Dark Descent for half off. Which will come with bonus content since they've sold 2000 pre-orders. I have to say that this was rather wicked marketing. They get me for $50 on the collection then an additional $15 worth of games.
To an extent you're right this isn't something that can be counted on in the long term. However, things like this do attract the attention of smaller developers. Knowing that there's that much interest in commercial software makes them more interested in porting software or making ways of using their software legally on other OSes more appealing.
Remember there was a time when MS and EA would've jumped at the chance to get 1m in sales. And I'm sure there's an up and coming company out there that's in a similar position right now.
Indeed and don't forget that the 25% likely include some people that weren't able to get in on the action legally. Either they didn't have a credit card or they live in a part of the world where they have no access to the payment processors. It would be interesting to know how many of those would've paid had they been able to send in a check or pay in some other fashion.
Just keep telling yourself that. The aviation industry has had a problem with being way too cozy with regulators for some time now. And a tendency to ignore necessary maintenance to boot.
I think GP's referring to the turn signals. And yes, unless you're in Ballard you're able to do so otherwise you're liable to have people thinking you're turning.
To be fair if they put that stuff behind the actual research then nobody would read it. Serious researchers would stop at the end of the research and most other people would give up before even getting to it.
They already have digital X-rays, in fact most hospitals are moving to the technology due to practical reasons. It allows them to take the X-Ray and send it to the ER before the patient gets there and greatly reduces the space required to store the huge numbers of X-rays that hospitals have to keep on file. It's mostly just smaller clinics and ones that haven't yet gotten the funds to upgrade that the older ones are being used at all.
The other issue has always been that you have to emit the X-rays to get a usable image, and you're not going to get that with metamaterials alone.
If you're doing that, you're doing it wrong. What you should be doing is adding the following to about:config 'config.trim_on_minimize="true"' If you're still having trouble then it's almost certainly not Firefox. But didn't we settle the fact that Firefox performs better than the competition on memory utilization quite some time ago? I see people making these sorts of trollish remarks, but last time I checked the data didn't support the suggestion.
No, it wouldn't. Despite pleas from conservatives to the contrary, nobody forces these people to allow the use of their patents in standards. They allow it because it gives them the chance to file massive law suits later on for infringement. Meaning that people have to pay for the license, suit or be left unable to use the standard.
No it doesn't. They could choose to withhold permission for it being included in the standard. Which is really the point, a lot of these formats would never have become standard if they had been forced to pay royalties on it from the get go. GIF and JPEG for instance ended up having issues, not to mention somethings with submarine patents where the corporation holding the patents lies about it.
The problem is the abuse of questionable patents that aren't disclosed or utilized by the entity holding them then holding the world hostage after the standard takes off. All standards should be unencumbered and free to use. You want to be paid? Fine, just do it with something that isn't a standard.
I couldn't read for a number of years because books are not very well suited to the purposes of actual reading. Between the migraines and difficulty tracking lines on the page, it was pretty much a non-starter. At least with electronic books of various sorts there's ways around that. Whether by changing the spacing to be more appropriate or by making the portion of text stand out more as the page progresses automatically. Perhaps in the future even tracking eye movement to keep things in sync.
There's always been and always will be a small minority of literature romanticists that insist that the way it was done was perfect, when in fact it was badly broken for a sizable portion of the populace and mostly served to create an elite. It's sort of like how somehow it's terrible to have books on tape, because you're being deprived of the serious discomfort of having to hold a book in an awkward position and risk the neck damage that encourages.
Except that he's correct. What the iPad has arguably done is slowed the rate of growth of the netbook market. Which is questionable at best since the slow down started prior to the slow down in sales growth. Coincidentally we're in a recession even now and it isn't shocking that the growth rate has somewhat slowed.
Additionally this sort of development tends to follow a logistics curve where the growth is slow then it picks up rapidly before tapering off somewhat gradually. Assuming that the growth rate of ~640% would keep up indefinitely is absolutely ridiculous. Add that to the bit where there isn't any particularly good reason to believe that netbooks are being purchased less frequently than last year and the tendency of manufacturers to not sell the ones that were simple like previous ones and you get the picture.
RGB can't produce brown, for instance, if you look very closely at it, you end up with something that's sort of a dirty orangy color in most cases. Adding an additional color allows for the expansion of the gamit to better fit things like that into the picture.
HDR is something which enables photographers to approach the dynamic range available in print photography while largely retaining the color saturation and other qualities of transparency film. It does tend to be overdone, but so is saturation and the colors that people use in their photos/video don't particularly reflect reality very well either.
The point though is that adding a fourth color provides the possibility of opening up the gamit, whether it works or not really depends on the other portions of the TV and the source material, for now I remain skeptical.

That's absurd, everybody knows that the GPL only magically gets people laid.

Hey, I heard that the Velvet Underground is really cool. But surprisingly nobody else knows about them...

The Skipper and Gilligan take the rest on another cruise and they wind up cracking open Gilligan's head for the gooey nougatty center.
