Just out of curiosity: how are you going to manage 40 Android devices? Consumers are fleeing RIM, but without some semblance of enterprise management tools, Android really isn't a viable alternative for a larger business or enterprise that needs to lock down/look after/manage lots of devices. You might be able to do it with Windows Phone, but WP7 management options are a shadow of the WP6's. Until there's a real challenger to to the functionality of BES (despite the nightmare), RIM will continue to rear its ugly head.

Imagination isn't dead - it just isn't found at the likes of EA, Activision, etc. Plenty of innovation in the indie community. For example, I just started playing Bastion and it kicks ass - and that's just one of the hundereds of cheap/awesome/original games out there.

GigE comes on nearly every new computer. Consumer GigE routers and switches are marginally more expensive than their 10/100 equivalents. Most home media appliances are GigE. Nearly any home NAS you can buy has GigE. Most Cat5e cable can handle GigE speeds. Why would you bother buying 10/100 equipment? Even if your ISP isn't yet capable of it, there is plenty of application for it in the home, and it's conceivable that consumer-grade services provided by US ISPs will break the 100Mb barrier in the next five years, which isn't an unreasonable life expectancy of any of the aforementioned equipment. Say nothing of the benefits of GigE in small business and enterprise.

Flatulent, unwashed, blind and deaf elephant in the room is more like it. Not to mention a dumb article.

Oh man, I sure hope Taco Bell runs that promotion again - I can taste that meat-flavored filler now!

Then I'll be able to buy some extra activations for my copy of Spore cheap!

...because we're (indirectly) building this instead:

Military Industrial Complex FTW!

But if I knew one of my systems is victim to a rootkit, I'd reinstall the OS without thinking twice - otherwise I'd be looking over my shoulder at every executable on that system until the end of time.

Let's be honest - this really isn't a liberal/conservative issue, which should be evident from the way the Court was split. Besides, you'll recall Lieberman and many "PC" Dems (including majorities in the very liberal California legislature) applauding this legislation when the Governator signed it. Any political extremism, on the whole, is fucking scary.

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

She visited four stores - one from each of the big providers. Had she come to my local AT&T store, she would have seen the giant Windows Mobile display with several working demos, not to mention a sales guy who wouldn't shut up about Xbox Live or Netflix. I'm not saying that WM7 isn't being as hotly promoted as the other platforms, but it would be nice if she were drawing this kind of conclusion from a slightly larger sample set.

I would be surprised to see MS drop Linux support so quickly, especially with the Android market share growing at the rate that it is.

On the other hand, it's not hard to imagine a future with millions of cell phone users Skyping each other...on WM7 phones.

To be continued...

Who needs Xeons and i7's to run servers when everyone has a super-powerful smartphone now?

Oh, wait...

"The Bible guarantees it!"

Since it's very likely Unit 2's containment vessel is cracked/damaged, that would probably be a really bad idea...
