Not sure if/how the iPhone can/cannot do the phone book - but the point is this:
Isn't this type of method for integrating work and personal usage at the application level better than splitting the entire machine in half?
Rhetorical question. In reality, there will be very, very little demand for this type of over-engineered niche solution. Simple, well-done, mass-market solutions like the iPhone outsell it a billion to one. Don't debate me on it - just wait and see!
Yes - when you put events into a calendar - they go into a *specific* calendar. You phone can display multiples - but looking from the "origin" of one of the calendars (either Exchange or Gmail, for example) - you can't see the other calendars, because the entries aren't in them.
The point is - for example - on my iPhone I *can* keep separate calendars - which are synchronized from completey different sources - Gmail (for my personal calendar, and my Wife's calendar) - and Exchange for my Work Calendar.
I also have two Email accounts as such.
The best part here - is I can optionally display these calendar entries together on one calendar - or turn off calendars for simpler views. So if I want to put an entry on one of my calendars - I have a view that shows me potential conflicts on *all* my calendars. If I want to check my email - I have one place to look that shows me *all* my email.
When I leave my company - my Gmail notes, mail and calendar is all there and ready to be paired up with my new device - or if I keep the device - I just need to disconnect from my corporate exchange server.
This is vastly superior than having multiple different virtualized environments that are completely separate - requiring me to look through each one any time I want to do something.
Isn't this a little overkill? I mean the only thing that sounded good about it was the whole "two numbers" thing - but you can do that without virtualizaing complete operating systems.
HP prides itself on "Pragmatism" - though their PCs are the worst in the industry on all levels. Their test equipment was absolutely phenomenal - but they chose do dump that.
Microsoft prides itself on "basic research" - which would be great if they were all studying for the PhD's - but has seemed to done this in contrast from the focus of making a responsive, reliable, easy-to-use desktop OS.
IBM..."the most patents"....I don't even want to go there.
This is a joke, right?
I searched for "Dumbest" and was surprised to find no comments with the word in it.
This is supposed to be useful why?
If you're going to "troll" me - at least please explain how you think this would be usefull, first!
I do not see "startssl" listed in the list of built-in root certificates under Firefox.
Does this mean that if third-party users access my web site, they will be "stopped" with the typical warning that the site is secured with an unknown certificate - and make them go through the ususal steps to add it, etc?
Or will it just "work". Will they get the nice colored emblum on the address bar saying "Verified by: startssl", etc?
In otherwords - will it be any better, or more transparent to the user than they key I generated myself? Will it be automatically accepted by (let's say) an iPhone?
Yes...and given that I keep cars for up to 15 years - It's going to take more than a new Radio with "Microsoft Technology" (1-3 month R&D Cycle) to wow me back into a Ford.
Prove to me that you car will last that 10 or 15 years - like my Hondas - and my Toyotas - and *then* we will talk. Don't try to bullshit me with a Consumer Reports survey that goes 3 years back - or a JD Power & Associates study that measures **INITIAL** quality.
That kind of reputation *does* take 20 years to shake, sorry to say!
90's-era Ford's weren't exactly the pinnacle of world-class engineering.
Now if they claimed $100 million dollars in plans to trick consumers into buying three transmissions, two alternators, and four water pumps for every car they sold, I'd maybe believe it...
The first three pieces of the puzzle were just very simple, basic, textbook hand-cyphers - two were Vigenère and one was a Transposition cipher - and it took them that long to do the first three - and the last one remains unsolved.
You'd think that with people from the CIA and NSA - they'd be able crack these things with their eyes closed.
It doesn't give me a lot of confidence that the government could crack anything strong than the ciphers encoded by a Capt'n Crunch decoder wheel...
Furthermore - any time someone claimed to have decoded a section of it - the NSA and/or CIA would claim that they had already figured it out...RIIIIIGHT...
That would be like me calling up my local lawnmower store looking for a lawnmower - and getting angry that they recommended I by a lawnmower that they sold, and I should buy it from them!
If you don't like it...call a different lawnmower store!
I understand you're desire to find someone who is "young", unfortunately, I think that it is a somewhat misguided direction.
*Many* people who have great fame, wealth, or success at a very young age due it to a great extent out of *luck*. It usually takes some time to really see if lightning can strike twice - or three times, or more. Was their success due to brilliance? Character? Ingenuity? Or was it just "dumb-luck" - or being at the right place at the right time - or being lucky enough to be "chosen" into something.
Case in point - Homer Simpson: "Tatoos help you immortalize things that you love..." (Looking the tatoo on his arm) "'Starland Vocal Band', they suck!"
Steve Wozniack - aka Woz. Obviously he's "the guy who invented the Apple" - but if you read iWoz, or learned about him - that is all just the culmination of who and what is is.
I would say Steve Jobs too - reluctantly.
On the upside - he's incredible. Most people who are killer successfuly in business do it once. He's done it several times. Most people that come up with killer products do it once. He's done it many times. Even when he's ousted, he comes back, proves he was right - and flips everything back around 180-degres.
On the downside, he is an evil, narsastictic flaming egotistacal asshole, and oppotomizes everything that he built his career fighting against. (Yes, the "1984" thing).
Exactly. Short bio. Some skill, some luck - came out on top. Aren't there a lot of guys out there like that? Like that guy that invented Netscape who everyone was drooling over 10 years ago? You, know....what's-his-name...
I don't have many idols, but I really idolize Howard Hughes
(That's the pre-insane Howard Hughes).
The dude was a pilot and all - but he went on to really design and build these planes. He was such a "hands-on" guy, a real genius and innovator. I never knew any of that about him before watching some movie about him. I'd recommend the same.
My 8 year old daughter's idol is Buzz Aldran. I totally respect the guy too. Aside from obviously being the second guy on the moon - he was (I think) #1 in his class at MIT after doing his thesis on Orbital Docking manuvers - before any such thing was actually done.
Aside from just "flying the spaceship" and "walking on the moon" - even today, he continues to innovate in the area of space travel. He has a web site where you can see not just some of his old stuff, but new stuff as well. He's not just part of history, he's really part of the present.
Yes. It touted among it's features getting "a familiar dial tone" before you dialed, and having an operator "address you by name" if you dialed "zero". They would advertise it in Yankee magazine, and other things that all the old folks read.

Okay - I *will* go there - "the most patents" - almost as useful as "cleanest rest rooms"...

On most browsers/clients/systems - you can "hover" over a hyperlink and see the URL it's going to. Not so with iOS

Do you believe any advise is unbiased?

MOD UP!
Yea...Check out this project I did... http://www.bradgoodman.com/dimwatt
If that was the best demo they could come up with for this...I've seen better products like that at Radio Shack and Sharper Image...

No - maybe "quater-assed" at best...
