Yes, but the marketshare over DVD is still only 12%. When do you think it will overtake DVD - by 2020? That would be far too late and I doubt it will ever happen.
If I saw those numbers, I'd declare Blu-ray dead too, just as Jobs and the Xbox head did.
For me, the additional glasses over my own were extremely uncomfortable.
I think it depends on how much of your nose is left to perch the 3D glasses on. I didn't have much left of mine to do so!
In the telecommunications industry, at least at the company that I work at, of the tens of thousands of Unix servers, over half of the servers are Sun, roughly a quarter are HP-UX, most of the last quarter are Linux and a very tiny sliver are IBM running AIX.
No one is buying new IBM servers. There has been a slight rise in Linux over the last few years, but the continuing growth is on Solaris/Sun.
I think you are thinking of HD DVDs, which have no region coding.
Blu-rays most certainly do have region coding: A, B and C.
From wikipedia:
* Region A includes most North, Central and South American and Southeast Asian countries plus Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.
* Region B includes most European, African and southwest Asian countries plus Australia and New Zealand.
* Region C contains the remaining central and south Asian countries, as well as China and Russia.
Some distributors don't use it much, and others are very strict about it. Criterion only is in region A, and Disney tends to only distribute for region A.
It's also not a problem with either the iPhone or the users. The phone works just fine on other carriers' networks in other countries.
There have been numerous stories of the iPhone performing poorly as a phone on almost all European carriers. It is definitely not an AT&T-specific problem.
No wonder AT&T is complaining about Verizon's "we have 5x more 3G" campaign when Verizon's 3G is the same as AT&T's 2G (which does have more coverage than Verizon's 3G).
The truth is that the provider's definition of "*G" is what ever their marketing departments say it is. There is no absolute standard of comparison on the marketing front. You have to dig into the actual specs to do so.
I think that there are three distinct "universes" of OS: Desktop (and maybe phones now), Enterprise (support for the Desktop: Exchange, intranet web servers, etc.) and Production.
Solaris is for production and it serves that purpose very well indeed. I think you'd be surprised at the percentage of Solaris use for production use by the Fortune 500 companies. And nothing else is seriously considered except for HP-UX, Linux and AIX, at least at the company I work for (well over half, around 20,000 or so, are Solaris; Linux is in third at around 12%).
I have used all of them and I like Solaris and Linux the most and I find them the most similar to one another by far. HP-UX is very solid, also, but a little quirky.
AIX is the least standard of any Unix-like OS out there, IMO. It is almost like IBM completely rethought Unix from the ground up, but at the cost of consistency with all other implementations.
Huh? In what world did Samba ever replace NFS?
Happiness is twin floppies.
