It appears artists and labels will have the choice when digging into Google's pockets either through a business deal or lawsuit. Which will they pick?"
Time Warner Market cap: 77 billion
Google Market cap: 130 billion.
Yeah, nobody saw that coming. Of course the little guy in this battle is going to wave the white flag. It's about time a tech company put the smack down on the content industry.
a new television technology has been developed which is touted (by the developers) as far and away superior to both plasma and LCD
....just like blu-ray and HD-DVD have been touted as far and away superior to both DVD and H.264. Is LaserTV going to be made compatible with wireless HDMI? How about Displayport? Standard DVI-D? Pardon me if I'm colored unimpressed.
AMD claims that its quad core is true quad core, while Intel's is two dual-cores grafted together.
So Intel's Ben Sander claims that AMD's claim is that Intel claims that their dual-cores grafted together qualify as quad-core technology? That's not confusing at all.
One young programmer by the name of Jarosaw "sztywny" Rzeszótko decided to ask these types of questions (and more) to the programmers he admired the most who also, it turns out, happen to be some of the most influential computer scientists and programmers of the last several decades.
He asks such age-old questions as, "Why am I forced to learn the LISP programming language? Seriously? What the hell? I can program in C just fine."
Linux has been used to create a podcast capture appliance that aims to make podcasting as dead-simple as possible, in order to give everyone a 'voice in public discourse, not just those who own TV towers
I hate to burst your bubble, but I think this has already been accomplished by Youtube, to the tune of 1.64 billion dollars worth of "public discourse".
The defending lawyer described her client as 'isolated and living in a fantasy world, spending hours on his computer in his room where his persona could be as he made it, good or bad.'
This new solution is for Navier-Stokes equations under physically reasonable conditions. Navier-Stocks equations describe the motion of fluid substances such as liquids
who needs a description of the motion of fluid substances? I want video, perferably in slow-motion and from multiple angles.
Resuming your browsing session: The Session Restore feature restores windows, tabs, text typed in forms, and in-progress downloads from the last user session.
Yeah, like I need my last open browser window coming back up on my screen. I "accidentally" kill the power strip when my boss walks in my cube for a reason.
But what about innovation? If we cry foul that monopolies stifle innovation, then we should also be decrying standards that may not adapt easily to future problems.
You're confusing a product with a business method.
A monopoly is created and maintained through business tactics (i.e. flooding the market with (initially) cheap product to kill off competition, strongarming resellers and OEMs, etc).
An open standard, on the other hand is just a tool. If a better tool is made available, there's nothing preventing the market from switching over to the new tool and phasing out the old one (i.e. the transition from ISA to PCI)
There are 6 key recommendations, including: DRM should not override users' statutory rights; analogue rights should apply to digital media; and copyright terms should not be extended without evidence that this would be good for society.
The RIAA and MPAA have posted their official response: "....aaaaaaaAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
The Nobel Prize for medicine has been awarded to two US scientists who discovered a phenomenon called RNA interference, which regulates the expression of genes.
In other news, President Bush has awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to two US scientists who discovered the gene which regulates the expression of opinion.
This patch is just another arrow in the quiver. These guys are some of the best-known reverse engineers and security researchers. It's a tight-knit group that has worked for years to make the Internet a safer place. This isn't a patch created by some guy in a basement.
Oh, so it's not a patch created by some guy in his basement. But what about some guy in his parents' basement?
Failing to do so only harms users in the way that they risk having unsupported or malfunctioning hardware in their operating system of choice.
So we get unsupported or malfunctioning hardware with our operating system of choice, or we get supported and functioning hardware with a malfunctioning operating system. cool.

it's hard to argue that voice recordings will not have a greater percentage of people actually having something interesting to say.
I remember hearing something about a million monkeys with a million typewriters, and Shakespeare, if that's what you're getting at.

This is where special software automatically exercises programs rapidly while looking for errors.
and this software, folks, goes by the name "internet explorer".
You can see the Seismic Data here.
And a global map indicating it here.
No denying that one.
Why is it called a rocket "Belt", when it's typically something the size of a surfboard with a pair of propane tanks that you strap on your back?
The average density of a supermassive black hole can be very low, and may actually be lower than the density of water.
I'm starting to feel very lucky to have grown up in the Milky Way Galaxy.
He might as well be saying he feels lucky that he grew up in Kansas instead of Hawaii.
The high bids made me wonder just why people were willing to pay thousands of dollars for cast resin and foam.
It's not just "cast resin and foam". It's "cast resin and foam" that was in Star Trek

How did she know that he read slashdot?
Yet, as this article goes on to say, the lack of credit card ownership prevents teens from buying music online.
Clearly, the only solution is for the RIAA to start providing teenagers with credit cards. That can't possibly go wrong.

It is recommended that the government will fund a research center dedicated to open-source software security as well, adds the article.
Wouldn't that make it a prediction, rather than a recommendation?
NewScientistTech has a story about robotic whiskers ... Check out the slightly creepy video of them stroking a sculpted face.
They seem to be making a noise.. it sounds like "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
Will it really be this easy to wean myself from the Microsoft mobile teat?
Gee, I dunno. Lets check the next sentence: The phone is expected to list for $600.
There's your answer! "no."
The signal tell the phone to wipe all of its data and begin emitting a very loud and obnoxious sound.
Isn't this what happens if Paris Hilton calls you?
