How many of us will raise our hands and admit to our surprise when MS suddenly decides to "license" that patent technology from Acacia? Seriously, MS is clearly violating the patent too with their power toy. I really believe that MS is behind this, and when the license the patent in order to prop up the legal action it'll be the proof.
According to this paper the revenue to NBC would be about one dollar per viewer with traditional media distribution. I'm not an Apple fan boy, but at the $1.99 price for television I would guess that NBC was actually making more money per video than they will running their own distribution system and supporting it with advertising.
When all you have is wine, cheese, and snails its obvious why it is losing weight. Everyone knows that if you want something to GAIN weight you should move it to America! Three Double Whoppers with Cheese a day is what it really needs to get that weight back!
I teach at a technical high school, and I use Ubuntu, Vista, XP, and OS X in the course for integration lessons. The kids Ooooh at Vista and OS X but when they discover that Ubuntu can do compositing in a flashier way (with Compiz Fusion) than either of the other two platforms and that it is free they immediately ask for one of the Ship it CDs that I happen to keep around.
I'm not saying that I evangelize Linux but since it is free, and I do teach it I find it very convenient to be able to just furnish them a copy on the spot. Flashy sells. It sells cars, bombers and hookers why not use it to sell an OS? Before anyone posts a response about bloat please remember that these are primarily 15 year old kids and the concepts of bloat are just academic to them. They won't care about bloat until they are running their own network.
Me an Me shipmates extend to ye oer sympathies. Tis tuf to looz a parrot, I wuldnt be da same witout mine. Arrrrrggghhhh. May he rest in Davy Jones Locker in peace. Arrrgghhhh!!!!!
It all seems fine and well, what with creating life artificially but, speaking for all the red blooded American, European, African, and Asian males in the world there is just no substitute for doing it the old fashioned way.
The N800 is a great device for what it is and I don't want to take away from that, but I use a pda as a quick replacement for a laptop for those times when a laptop isn't convenient such as while sitting at a restaurant that doesn't have wifi. I don't want a device that is tied to the Internet to be functional. I live in a semi-rural state where wifi isn't as pervasive as San Fransisco.
As nice as the N800 is, it's is veritably useless apart from a wifi connection.
Hallelujah. I've all but given up hope that my Palm TX would not be the last of it's breed. I watched Hawkins debut the Foleo live and I felt a twisting in my stomach, sincerely fearing that Palm was committing suicide in a spectacularly dull fashion. There is not a market for the Foleo and there never was. This might be a sign that Palm execs have finally started to understand that 1997 is gone and will never return. I'm looking forward to the next rev of the Palm OS (read: brutal murder of Garnet). I'm looking forward to a device that has Skype built in and finally has an OS that doesn't crash, plays multimedia, has a decent browser and above all is a PDA not a phone. I hope that this is a sign and I wish Palm the best!
I used to think that there was just NO WAY that R2D2 could take the kind of crap he took and still survive... who'd of thought. Those robots are completely amazing to me. Designed for a 90 day mission, and here we are at over 13 times that number of days. The best part of the mission is all of the fantastic images they have sent. Check them out here
To come up with a way to distribute birth control so efficiently! This would never work in America though, it's difficult enough getting them out of that quarter machine that resides in the restroom at the gas station.

With my 1505n, Dell included a standard Canonical "ship it" Ubuntu CD right along with the laptop, and it still has a very well done recovery setup on the hard drive.
Products that start their lives perceived as having a very high suck factor will end their lives with much the same perception. There is little that can be done once a products suck level (read: consumer perception) has been determined.
I'm actually pretty excited to see iPhone features make their way into non Apple products. Sure it is blatant idea theft. Sure Nokia is leeching whatever "coolness" they can from Apples form factor. Who cares? We have PCs that aren't proprietary because of blatant idea theft. Hell, we really wouldn't have spinning cubes in Linux were it not for ideas presented in other operating systems. Noah Wylie, while playing Steve Jobs said that "good artists copy, great artists steal". I do not mind getting quality (if Apple like) features at a lower price than Apple is willing to offer.
One user says NT 5.0 another says Windows 2000, one says NT 5.1 and another says XP, one says Panther and another says 10.3. I agree that Ubuntu is kind of cartoonish in naming but it's a train that everyone is on right now.

Is a headphone jack on the Surface table! Now that would be a PMP that would sell!

Now that is efficient! Why email trojans to the criminals when you can have them preinstalled by the factory!
I smell a conspiracy.

I've written a blog that will surely make the front page of Slashdot. It is titled:
Top ten list of things that Ron Paul said about Apple products while typing on a Linux computer at an Anti-Iraq war conference.
The reason I don't read Digg often is that I want real, biased, geeky, obscure fact riddled news commented on by opinionated sysadmins!
Pascal. The eight wonder of the IT world.

At least that's what I hear.

I agree whole heartedly with you.... but the iPhone doesn't sell on features it sells on pure sexiness.
vote it'll come out that they were voting on Diebold voting machines furnished by ProClarity Corporation
