People are slowly figuring it out. You can buy a pay-as-you-go android mobile phone (i.e. a Virgin Mobile one) at WalMart for $40 now. You don't have to activate it. Install a 32GB microSD card in it and use it with Wifi only. Log onto your Google account and download apps galore.
Only really really stupid people would buy an iPod touch in today's market.
I remember when I was an operator, loading tapes and booting up machines to run jobs, back in 1982. I thought that someday becoming a programmer would be cool.
I had to download the binary installer myself to install Flash on my Android phone about a year ago. Last week I got a new phone and noticed that Adobe Flash is right there in the Google Play Store now. I'm not sure when Google quietly added it. Maybe it's vendor dependent, as I was using a Samsung phone and switched to a Kyocera. It's the same Play Store, though. Right?
Microsoft doesn't put a desktop link on their OSes to download Seamonkey. They leave that as an exercise for the user. And that's really alright with me.
That's only true when there are tens, hundreds, thousands of something in existence, so that the patina can be compared.
The 'historic value' of the remaining original paint finish is important, but the paint also serves to preserve the vehicle, and if it's chipping off it can't do that.
Does your car have the smarts in it to be remotely disabled? Does it have the capability to track where it has traveled, so that the road tax can be calculated based on usage? Those are slated to be required features. The day will come when speed limit signs are obsolete because the max speed is beamed at your vehicle from the roadside.
In the eyes of forces within the Government it's obsolete and only a matter of time before it's not permitted on public roads.
A lot of people were 'Hitler cronies' in that same period. The entire US Communist Party thought Hitler was the right side to back, until he betrayed Stalin.
Musk made a mint with PayPal and has been plowing the proceeds into what he thinks is 'cool stuff' with mixed results.
It just goes to show that money can buy cool stuff in today's market. It's sort of a shame that the opportunity was there for Musk; many other companies and operators should be doing the same.
He's done a lot better than Paul Allen thus far, but there's no real qualitative difference.
My ISP's DSL Modem has a router and wireless built into it. However, I don't want my local network managed, or manageable, by my ISP, so I just use it as a DSL Modem. I can't imagine sharing access to my home subnet with my ISP.
You're one of those guys who now says 'Ronald Reagan wasn't so bad' but you also were one of the people out in the street cheering the day he was shot, correct? Please can the phoney 'William F Buckley weeps' bullshit, brother.

All the stupid rich people run iOS, near as I can tell.
That should be reason enough.
That 'the rest of us' use cost-effective mobile platforms doesn't matter enough yet.
I use Gmail, and I have for years now. But I always use pop.gmail.com to retrieve it, and read it in Sylpheed.
Near as I can tell, Google hasn't gone out of business.

I remember when an Objective C toolchain was an installable option on Slackware. Back in about 1995. It was right in the 'D' series.
Your customer base is entirely composed of stupid rich Americans?
Yeah, but the only way to get MASM anymore is as an obscure part of a Driver Development Kit.
Oh wait! I'm wrong. MASM32 still exists.
eliza says she thinks you're cute.
I installed emacs on android, but then I discovered it would only work with a bluetooth keyboard that had control and esc keys.
I even have a cellphone with a little slider physical keyboard, but alas, no esc or control buttons on it.
I remember when one of the bragging points of Opera was that the installer .exe file would fit on a floppy diskette.
I ran it for a little bit of time, just because I try to run everything at least once.
But I've also ran Windows NT 4.0 on Alpha and PowerPC.
It's sort of like visiting a ghost town.
a disfunctional Chrome
Don't be redundant.

Fuel cost is part of what makes something a 'good way.'

Cash for Clunkers was just a warm-up exercise.

Tux Racer will be screaming fast.
I have talked to human voicees from both PayPal and eBay.
They didn't even seem to have a foreign (non-Usian) accent.
All we need to carry now is our compromised near-field cellphones.
What could be simpler?

Well, George Orwell, who was British, wrote the novel.
