Google is killing everybody else. I moved to a working class neighborhood in KC to get a cheap house and Google Fiber. Google has the ILECs running scared as almost all of my neighbors signed up for at least the 5 down/1 up Mbps "free" option, and will be dropping their existing cable/DSL contracts when up.
The Kansas legislature is made up almost entirely of rapid Tea Party half-wits that are taking money from the ILECs or anybody else with money to buy them off. The ONLY reason this was postponed was due to the ongoing blizzard that has the Statehouse shut down this week...
BUT, that being said, I'm a musician in real life that prostitutes myself as an engineer during the day to pay the bills, for several decades now...
I tried for years using various software packages on Windows and Linux, you name it, I've tried it... Bottom line is, I finally broke down and bought a MBP in 2011 ( cheap ass $1199 entry level one, maxed out the memory and shitcanned the HD and installed a 512 Gb SSD) I'll never look back and wish I'd done it a lot sooner.
Everyone can spew whatever fanboi shit they want to, but Apple owns the music market. Even software that works in multiple OS environments like ProTools work better on a Mac and you don't run into hardware/latency/drivers/other issues common on other HW/OS platforms. Just go ahead and buy an Apple iMac or MBP as suits your environment; if you don't you can spend a lot of time/money/aggravation over a period of years, trust me, been there, done that, have the T-shirt and barbed wire ankle tattoo...
I think your supposition is extremely flawed. Over the course of the last year or so the influx of new subs into T-Mobile is primarily former postpaid customers from the other carriers...
This is obviously a hoax, based on an anonymous letter sent to a website you've never heard of before and a good example of "cut'n'paste" journalism (using the word "journalism" is the loosest of senses) that has even showed up on the Business Insider website so far...
Good luck getting "5-10 cops" plus "feds" to show up to "investigate" this; Paul Blart - Mall Cop with a Female Body Inspector badge, I'd believe...
"They still sold more PC's in the last quarter than all of the ipads that have been sold in total ever."
Let's see, if you know how to do "the Google", global PC sales (less Apple) were about 80,000,000. Total iPads sold to date as of October 2013, ca. 170,000,000.
No one above specifically mentions the actual age of the child, but instead of handing them a mobile device to play Plants vs. Zombies on, hand them (as age appropriate):
- Legos
- A book
- A musical instrument
- A "300 in 1" electronics set
- Whatever the latest cool educational toy is
- Better yet, send them out to the backyard to play so their BMI doesn't doom them before they're teenagers.
This would not be an issue if your idea of "parenting" was to hand your child a device to use in an unsupervised state. That makes a good marketing opportunity which usually gets exploited...
It might be difficult to prove the INTENT of the "no poaching" agreement was to suppress wages. Unless any of the defendants were stoopid enough to refer to such in emails or other discoverable documentation.
But I know a couple of people that have sold their startups to Google and their total compensation might add up that high, but much of it's in stock that they have to hang around long enough to vest...
Mine was a Chase debit card, everyone else I know that is with Chase got an unsolicited new card if they shopped at Target during the breach period. If you fall into the same category and haven't received one I'd recommend contacting them.
My bank (Chase) has sent out new cards to anyone that had a transaction at Target during the time period they indicated of the breach, and many other banks/financial institutions have done likewise. The value of the purloined data is heading towards nil quickly.
I think the study was done with the express purpose of finding the indicated outcome, and statistically the sample size is insignificant and relies on non-empirical self-reporting; ergo I call B.S. spin...
I've been vacationing in Jamaica since 1980, and have a circle of friends in Negril that do in fact smoke pot each and every day of their lives. I know some people from the time they were kids until grown and others from early adulthood to retirement age.
Without conducting a "study", I can say after nearly 35 years of observation, the net effect of long term daily pot smoking would appear to be nil; people that are stable/unstable, crazy/pretty sane, serious/non-serious all seem to maintain their individual personality traits long term irrespective of their ganga usage.
If you RTFA you'd find that these are Seiki 4K unit that marked down to $500 each after Xmas, making them more cost effective than a multiple monitor setup
...but Ford Sync is actually running Windows Embedded Automotive for an OS. Like some malware/zero day exploits with that while you're doing 70 mph (112 kph)???

While they don't transmit, per se, if GPS is enabled (and sometimes even if disabled) the most recent GPS fix is typically stored in memory.
All your examples would be in my category of "crap" I wouldn't bother to stream for free from Netflix...
Actually it is 9th-11th century...
I don't know about that...Microsoft's offer of somewhere around $50B for Yahoo comes to mind.
Actually, the only thing dumber than that was Jerry Yang NOT taking the $50 billion...
