Most companies have a hard time recruiting any good RF engineering. It's not a 'digital' domain and the Educational System just plain isn't putting out many (any?) good RF engineers anymore. It isn't even something you can passably fake with 'SPICE' like some of the lower-frequency analog.
I doubt if Apple can afford that kind of engineering. They can't even afford mechanical engineers with the skill-set to design a robust replaceable-battery-compartment into their products. (the most recent attempt I can remember is the battery compartment in the Newton, and almost every Newton I have ever seen has a broken battery compartment)
So who is this 'competitor' that is nibbling away at YouTube's market share? Name names.
And elaborate more on the 'User Experience' issue- are you talking about closed Apple platforms where access isn't even really blocked because almost all the YouTube content is available in MP4 format? Seems to me, from my direct experience, that more non-YouTube streaming video is unavailable to my iPod than YouTube video. It's almost always a sure-thing with YouTube links, and very iffy otherwise. My observation is that the 'nibbling away' is at non-YouTube video streaming.
But good luck at your 'Obscure Platforms all band together for the win' thing.
On my iPod, why does the 'video tag' not get handled inline in Safari? The thing always opens up a full screen Quicktime Player. I suppose that could be termed 'HTML tag enabled.' So could an.au link back in 1993 in the same spirit.
No, the notion that it is HTML5 compliance that was considered important by Apple is laughable. It's the not-Flash that is important to them.
Well, you just stick to bantering about terminology and calling names while we prepare to slaughter and gut the Big Government incumbents in November. You can camp out on the articles on Wikipedia and spend your time that way, I guess. Enjoy your broken-winged Chicago thug, by the way. He's your albatross for awhile longer. Shoulda picked Hillary, I guess.
It's an unlicensed service, provided you use licensed hardware to operate on it. That means, there's FCC certification behind all the commercial wifi gear you use. If you modify it or add on power boosting transmitters, you're using unlicensed hardware and the FCC will come after you.
If it's tattooed female motorcycle lizards you refer to, they might not be as old as you think. That sun and wind and congealed bug splatter is harsh and ages the skin fast. She's not in her 60's, she's 31 and spent a lot of time on the back of a bike.
The parallel would be stronger, of course, if the Indians had been driven across the border into Mexico, and Mexico had set them up in semi-permanent refugee camps, refusing to let them become citizens of Mexico, in order to use them to attack the United States.
Wow. You've not only managed somehow to figure out the entire motivation of 'the people who are pro-war,' you've managed to do so while remaining above them and thus not contaminated by their (evil?) delusions.
And you understand completely what motivated the NAZIs too!
This is so cool. Do you have a newsletter or a blog I could subscribe to?
AT&T tries to keep your identity to impersonate you? The government can lock AT&T out of the system,
Wham! Now an additional 30% of the populace is 'locked out' of the system. No, AT&T is 'too big to fail' and thus we'll just have to accept their abuse as the norm.
From my firsthand experience running 4.0 on my 32G 3G iPod touch, the multitasking means that radio apps that previously would quit if I switched to another app now continue to play in the background . I haven't tried Pandora. Maybe their app doesn't multitask properly. The Talk Radio app I am speaking of does, and I didn't upgrade it for 4.0.
You forgot to mention the 'sex position' dice games and other sex-related apps. All of which are pretty weird, the kind of thing that a lonely guy would buy but never have the opportunity to run.
And then the PC Clone market overtook both IBM and Apple and never let go. Toward the end of the DOS era, even IBM themselves were forced to defensive measures against the clone makers. They came out with their proprietary PS/2 line and the Microchannel bus, to try to differentiate themselves and defend against commodification. But it was too late, and they ended up a boutique marketer similar to Apple in some ways. Both IBM and Apple were ultimately failures in that era, and neither ever recovered the market share the clone builders took from them.
Slashdot Mirror
When you kick the bus, does the driver get out and yell at you, or does he dispatch a Transit Police Officer?
So Google piling on another layer of discrimination, this time against the non-gays, is supposed to 'fix' the problem?
Whoo! Whoo! A gyroscope.
What for?

Idiots like you blame the Democrats, but the real Americans know who got them in this mess
It's a simple cause-and-effect correlation:
Democrats took the majority in Congress in 2006. Economy quickly slid into the shitter.
It's just a matter of presenting the evidence.
Bush is gone. Ohbummer has to actually do something now, and isn't.

What are your options? To stare at a blank screen? How is it 'punishing' YouTube if you refuse to stare at a blank screen?

Just get 355/113. It's close enough for most engineering tasks.
If anything the fact that 'they can be lazered off these days' increases their lameness.

A dinosaur tattoo? Because dinosaurs are awesome?
How did you find a tattoo artist who would ink a six year old?
That makes Hitler a politician.
Shocking to think about it that way, eh?

Sellout, to the U.A.W.
Or maybe that should be 'debt payback.'

Just shut up and spend 30 more bucks on the rubber overcase that makes your new cellphone look the same as a 3G.
Leading scientists have proven that Sears Silvertone electrical appliances contain scant amounts of silver. Some contain no silver at all!!!
Of course Sears didn't have a former coke dealer go on stage and claim silver content.
Still, this used to be Slashdot. Why do we put up with all this macfag gibber?
So Twitter is barred for twenty years from misleading customers, after which.... ?
