Why do you feel, as a consumer, that you wouldn't have to pay for it?, if you're the one using the product, why wouldn't you be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the product?
There's one point where we have to start to understand that we need to make responsible use of what we buy. Products should be much more expensive and durable, and should be manufactured and dumped responsibly.
so what's the news?
Who types in domain names any more?, I don't, since I never know if it was companyname.com or was it
new gTLD will make the situation worse, and you'll have to rely even more on search engines, bookmarks and address bar hints to remember what was the site and under what TLD is found.
If anything, I would just remove TLDs instead of adding more, it just creates redundant information in most cases. No one will give away his own
It's probably worse than that, since I don't think management would like to see an employee spend all his 20% time on the same project year after year. I somehow imagine you'd be expected to come with new ideas on your 20% time, so if the project doesn't get any traction quickly it might be discarded even if the creator was willing to maintain it.
But this happened with Lion, almost a year ago.
I fully agree with this, in fact, not seeing a font/UI scaling feature in Mountain Lion hinted me that they would probably wouldn't take the obvious "retina display" step on laptops soon. I was wrong thou, and although I would be the first one to buy a very high res display, I wouldn't do it if they don't allow me to scale the UI. I bought the Air as my first Mac laptop and one of the decisions that almost made me not buy it was font size. Even with excellent eyesight, fonts are marginally acceptable and I had to change font size for multiple applications to feel comfortable.
I never heard anyone in my country dismiss evolution against anything else. Where I live (3rd world country, predominantly roman catholic apostolic population), everyone accepts evolution as any other thing. I cannot understand why you have such a struggle with something so obvious.
No, 1920x1200 should be standard.
So we should just skip using any technology that will be obsolete in five years? (and I won't even discuss if that's actually true in this case)
Completely agree. When people ask me about the kindle, and if it has internet, or other features I tell them it doesn't (although it does in a very primitive way) and that I wouldn't like it to have them. Keep it as simple as it is, I don't want new features, just fix the image viewer and other bugs.
It's not an accent, ñ is actually another letter of the alphabet in spanish. "...l m n ñ o p q..."
I wonder what follows to real names.
Real profile picture photo?
Real town, school, work place?
Why?, does it make any difference to advertisers to have a name attached to a profile?, would they target that specific product differently if my name is A or B?, I would guess they will try to sell to who I am, and that doesn't change with my name...
Apple got it right with the new displays that act as a docking station, providing USB ports, gigabit ethernet, another thunderbolt port, etc. Add a graphics card to it and you have the perfect docking station.
I'm having problems on a late 2010 MacBook Air. I'm a new mac user, and have been very satisfied with hardware and OS (some things I don't like about OS X, but that's another story). I've updated to Lion mainly for the full disk encryption feature.
I've been having multiple crashes, in different forms. There are a lot more slow downs than with Snow Leopard (I basically didn't have any) and some of those slow down's turn into crashes or permanent unresponsiveness. Last one, safari suffered one of these slow downs upon opening a new tab, this disabled the menu bar, changing to another application enabled it and I could go to the "Force Quit" option (didn't know the shortcut yet), Force quit menu didn't appear, another application stopped responding, etc. Always the same cascading effect until the system is unusable.
I'm kind of pissed at this, specially considering how well the system worked before.
System going down in 5 minutes.
