It seems as though we do. I am more incline to think that they could make better hardware that is more nicer to battery's etc, if they did not spend so much time trying to perfect something that I believe down the road will be dead anyway. Today's hardware is far less bulky than the hardware made several years ago. It is far more efficient, and computers today (a few models)are even getting the energy star seal of approval.
The computer hardware manufacturers are better off getting rid of all of this integrated stuff, and concentrating on the real hardware. I believe it would be a big boost to the industry as well. Plus a step up in the right direction.
"Additionally, most R&D today is done in federally funded universities."
Just amazing! Are we talking about the same drug companies that said it takes millions to think up, test, and produce these new drugs, thus the expense?
Simply amazing!
Oh wait! I got it wrong sorry my bad. What I meant to say was:
It takes millions to think up those commercials, produce, and test. They keep the ones that work. That is why we keep seeing all of those "same" commercials. (those little blue pills) If you know what I mean.
That's it for me. No more Windows for me. Look out Linux looks like you will be used on my box 100% of the time instead of the 45%. To think I am in the market looking for a new computer too. I am no longer fighting Windows. You can only take so much of their crap. I have dealt with plenty over the years. Time to move on.
All I can tell you is I will never look at a sale the same way anymore. I think deep down the store selling the Sony must of had returns and in order to get, or recoup their money they put them on sale, and added to the sale a no return policy. Which to me sounds like a rat. I am sure they had plenty of complaints. But this couple did not complain because they got it on sale, and because of the no return policy. (wouldn't of done any good) Now if there was, or could be, some type consumer complaint to challenge the no return and proof they were deceptive in the sale. Then maybe they would come forward. They still paid out the butt for the Sony. I told them they got ripped off royally. I paid almost 800 for mine, and it will play any type of CD / DVD I put in it. Thank the god above it is NO Sony.
I do know of a couple that bought a Sony entertainment system. The system has the DRM built in. Now logic would tell you that as long as the DVD's are compliant with US rules as to format etc, then that DVD you put in the player should work. This is not the case though. They never know if the DVD will work in the DVD player. So half of their DVD movie collection wont play in the Player. They bought a second DVD player, and use this for those DVD's that wont play in the Sony.
Sony may argue stating that the movies wont play because they are pirated. They are not. They were DVD's bought from reputable stores.
This is how bad DRM has become. Consumers are at the mercy of manufacturers of DRM laden products.
Horse chit! They pay out the ass to use that text to speech software on computers.

Well I can't help but think of the stalking cases that made it on the news. Some of them went too great lengths to stalk their victims.
This Google Latitude gives them another weapon to use against their victims. You can't tell me they wont try to do it, because many said that they wouldn't use a car's GPS to stalk their victims but they did.
Give the stalker time, they will find a way to use it.
"NOT SUITABLE FOR CRITICAL USE The Software is build for personal entertainment use only. It should not be used in or allowed to communicate with any health critical applications or systems or any other vital, critical or valuable applications or systems."
The 20th was still a day to work. Many employees I am sure were hooked up to this that day. So it is not just the regular every day user that has to worry about the bill coming. Also many did not read the EULA. That includes the many on the job in the health profession, etc. So it is safe to say that many businesses will be getting a bill from hell as well.
The EULA's are bad enough as they are....So lets hope the FTC doesn't screw this up, and leave enough loopholes in it to cause the consumers to cry foul.
I have a way to screen them, and that is my listed name in the phone directory. They ask in the States how you want your name listed. So I either list as just initial, and last name, or a bogus name. Telemarketers always call you by the name listed in the phone book. So As soon as I hear that name listed in the phone book. I hang up. I am not on the do not call list. Maybe the telemarketers removed me from their list? {grin} I don't get call backs.
"In two cases, the basic identifying information about my traveling companion (whose ticket was part of the same purchase as mine) was included in the file. Perhaps that information was included by mistake."
I don't think it is a fluke/mistake They want to know whom you travel with also... Is it someone of interest to the DHS?
we should give Open Source a go at it. But I don't want a half baked job. If Open Source goes for it... It's ALL or NOTHING. Plus it is not like we didn't give all the others a chance.

They are more willing to bet they wont last on the planet for very long. Life expectancy is higher now days on earth. It wont be the same on mars. So how much stuff were they willing to send with them in case they do last for like um 20-25 years? That's a lot of rations. You have to pity them also. Unless they send doctors, with plenty of medical supplies, chances are they will eventually start to die one by one. From common ailments that are well taken care of on earth. Plus who knows what that type of life would do to a persons mental health. You have to feel sorry for anyone that volunteers.
when several fonts are accepted, the screen is in color instead of the bland look it has now. Even the ones that place pics in the e-books they produce are often disappointed with the outcome. I just think that with today's technology, I don't understand why the Kindle has not upgraded far better than it has. I look forward to the day when this product is really worthy of a purchase. But I can't see spending that kind of money on something that looks as though it came from the 1980's.
I just can't help to think that one day we might have several hundred of these on our highways... on every other stretch of 25 miles of the highway one in every 7 was put together by some idiot that ALWAYS has a few nuts and bolts left over after the assembly of the car. They do the same with everything else they have ever put together. Slapping a build-it-yourself hybrid car together will be no different.
um... New rule for road maybe is in order?
Do not drive in front of, or behind one of these wanna be cars in your SUV. It could get messy.
I think they should give them to the College students as a pet project they would earn bonus points if they can find out how fraud was carried out, along with proof. Would even be a extra grade if they can find out which state / county used that particular box too.

The top reason I believe you will never see the list is because some of them are probably under investigation.
Some are very hard to track down.

So in essences, it is still DRM causing a DVD not to play in a DRM laden player. Slap in a few bad sectors in the DVD, and call it DRM.
This does happen to mainly their Disney collection. But it has happen to some of their non Disney collection too.
I do know of a couple that bought a Sony entertainment system. The system has the DRM built in. Now logic would tell you that as long as the DVD's are compliant with US rules as to format etc, then that DVD you put in the player should work. This is not the case though.

"No other chip or device can be disguised as the original chip, even if the data is copied from one Verayo RFID chip to another."
So because it can still be copied... is "that" suppose to make us feel more safe?
Oh wait! it's not the original!
blah... I thought the idea was to be copy proof, as well as "safe, and secure data"? Guess not.
I think they should give them to the College students as a pet project they would earn bonus points if they can find out how fraud was carried out, along with proof. Would even be a extra grade if they can find out which state / county used that particular box too.
I can dream damn it!
