Here's the relevant link on conversations.nokia.com:

It pretty much boils down to this:

"To be perfectly clear, we have asked Mr. Murtazin for the return of all Nokia property in his possession. As he has declined to reply, we asked the Russian authorities to assist us. We leave it to the Russian authorities to determine the most appropriate course of action."

Apple is just trying to shift blame to AT&T for the disconnections.

Unless the phone intentionally drops calls on low signal, this will fix nothing.

*sigh*

The idea behind returning faulty equipment is the same, I think.

The patent issues covering VP8 and H.264 are unproven. It's possible that H.264 infringes on VPx patents as much as VPx infringes on H.264 patents.

They also reused code from previous VPx versions. Maybe the "infringing" code in VP8 is actually older than the patents on which it infringes?

Clean Room Technician: You know what they do with engineers when they turn forty?
[to Aaron, who shakes his head]
Clean Room Technician: They take them out and shoot them.

Shooting people makes a mess, who's going to clean that up? Not to mention the sight of a person's exploded skull.

Isn't Vimeo more art-oriented than Youtube? A very large amount of videos on Vimeo can seriously be classified as visual art.

For all its sexiness (and $699, apparently) it comes with no screen, keyboard or mouse. Granted, people will probably use this with their TV, but having no bundled keyboard/mouse is a real shame. And to think that the Mini was supposed to be an entry point (price-wise) in the Apple Mac world.

Also, no Blue-Ray option?

The Brittish would. Though the correct term is "queueing".

Windows XP is still "good enough" for many people out there, and besides, it's still supported by software vendors, and probably will be for quite some time. The technological rift between Windows XP and Windows 7 is not overly large (the base infrastructure is in many places similar to identical), so that incentive is also missing (unlike, say, the jump from Mac OS Classic to Mac OS X, which were completely different, with Mac OS X clearly being the way forward).

As long as people can run their Offices and their Firefoxes and whatnot, XP will stay for those people who do not wish to purchase new computers (or new OS licenses, anyways).

And to think that Vista was supposed to be a quantum leap forward in terms of infrastructure (remember WinFS?). If the largest software company in the world can't get their asses into gear, something is clearly wrong with their modus operandi.

The Balkans, probably.

The screen does *not* have a 2450dpi resolution (which would be ridiculous). The dpi metric refers to the input sensitivity. The screen is a 8" 1024x600 panel.

The panel is obviously not e-ink...is this old school monochrome LCD, then? If the viewing angles are OK, I don't see why not.
