you dont explain it as that, you explain it as it is the logical way. If i lose my data, its faster to simply restore my data and vice versa. Obviously you dont explain that you want seperate backups in the case of a divorce..
Simple solution here is to have separate backup files of separate data. How hard is it to set the routine to make a backup of "robs documents" and another of "debs documents"?
sony execs - lets raise the prices in 1 area, see what happens br wait, the backlash is huge, lets blame a rogue employee and not raise it in the rest of the country...success!
sounds like a good coput to me. How convenient that it was a "rogue employee" that just happened to raise the prices of a singer who died only 30 minutes earlier... im sorry, I simply dont believe it. If it was someone other than sony, I MIGHT believe it, but coming from sony, after the past mistakes, I simply cannot believe that excuse. They got called out for doing something dickish, and they are tyring to save face.
no,businesses are supposed to produce profit for the owners/shareholders. I dont agree with what sony did, I even called them out for this a few days ago in an apple thread, but a business is NOT supposed to benefit society, no matter how much you wanna think they do
would not dieing, meaning no more albums will come out (unless you are tupac) considered supply?
plus we are talking digital downloads, there is infinite demand, I would probably be ok with them raising the price of the packaged media, But the digital downloads???
Profiling is only bad because we have convinced everyone that is so, Israel profiles at their airports, cops profile in the streets, employeers profile prospective employees, Profiling is a tool that can be used, or abused. If someone kidnaps my kid and im told it is a white male of medium build with a beard, I dont want the cops stopping petite teenage girls to see if it was them.
I can remember in the early 90s at the big chain stores they would all be running demo software where the keyboard didnt work unless you knew the magic code... what was it? ctrl.alt.del and the machines were never password protected. So much fun setting up screen savers to mess with them.
But if its a droid based tablet root with titanium backup you can remove most all programs from the device except those you want.
I agree with this as well. sometime around 2001 I was working with a fairly big niche website, maybe around 25000 users 2500 regular users. and they not only transfered ownership of the site but they changed the name of the site as well. What we ended up doing was buying the new domain and setting up the new site with new logos etc than we simply put a redirect up on the old domain, left it for about 6 months before the traffic to the old domain was pretty much zero and the new domain was flourishing.
Fast forward to around 2008, A turn based web game community I was an administrator for sold out a portion of the community to zynga, thescum of the gaming world. He decided that with a portion of the community gone that it would be good to change the name of the rest of the portion he maintained. He proceeded to change the forum,the 4 different domains and put them all on one domain where before it was a little cluster. Overnight he did this, he killed the original links to everything but the forum. Traffic declined 65% in that first week and it never recovered.
Also let us remember thant apple and microsoft have a much much longer relationship with the government simply because google is the new big kid on the block
all that means is that apple and microsoft have paid... i mean lobbied to ensure that google doesnt take their billions and push it against the will of the people.... negating the billions that they have
I wanna say when the switch color displays on the ipod they continued selling the previous gen at a lower price, but other than that I cant recall that happening other than to dispose of stock
Tablets look like they will have more of a cell phone buying mentality. I think people will look at tablets as more of a renew every 2 (3?) years where desktops are at the point where with good maintenance will be good for many many years.
if this were 10 years ago and we were saying most 5 year old PCs wont run windows XP I would agree with you. I have machines as much as 7 years old running windows 7 better than they were running xp. Granted they were top of the line or close to top of the line tech from that time period but its not impossible these days
simple. The supply does not get lower due to more people downloading the music. By artificially raising the price of the songs simply because she is dead is evil.
If we were talking CDs and DVDs, I wouldnt disagree with you, supply and demand. but we are talking about Itunes, there is unlimited supply, therefore it is simply pure greed to increase the prices on digital downloads,
apple has been making phones since what 2007? samsung/windows/rim/ pretty much everyone else in the game has been making phones since the 90s? moto in the 80s? I remember a phone I had in the late 90s I could do voice search on.
I am almost forgetting about sony being evil with every new lawsuit out of apple.

if we are going to go THAt far i have a better idea...get rid of the TSA and save americans a buttload of cash. Thats a win win
