Going back pre-smartphone, when the only real players in the PDA arena were Palm and Microsoft, Microsoft surpassed Palm in 2004, and from then on it was all downhill for Palm as they tried to update an archaic OS to utilize advances in hardware.
So you're saying that, during the past few years, Microsoft has basically been slogging through the same experience Palm went through a decade ago.
Lets hope they meet the same end up. Bought up by HP killed by corporate mismanagement and open sourced at a later date.
It is within Google's capability to dynamically map every speed trap and even moving police cars.
If a police car can be tracked so can you.
If a speed trap is fullt automated, how does Google detect it before you have been ticketed?
radar detectors?
If there was a *nudge nudge* *wink wink* international protocol, Kim Dotcom would be out of my country already.
There was a nudge nudge wink wink thats why there were FBI agent in New Zealand when his house was raided, thats why his house was raided, there reason he's still there is because the nudge nudge wink wink was published all over the Internet and media.
'nudge nudge' 'wink wink' would have simply put a bullet in his head over 2 years ago if they wanted to. The only person who cares about what Assange says at this point is himself. No intelligent person gives a shit what he says anymore, he's proven repeatedly that he's nothing more than an attention whore who twists things to promote his own personal agenda.
if no one cares about Assange why is he still allowed to live in the Ecuadorian embassy?
Its not that a bunch of powerful people don't want to vanish him, it is more along the lines of a bunch of powerful people don't want to piss of other powerful don't want him to be vanished and figure he is harmless stuck in a embassy basement.
No the value of any currency is derived by peoples willingness to accept it for trade of work, service, or trade, that in turn is based on other peoples willingness to use it, if no one sees added value of your alt coin then they won't mine any or accept it for trade. So while I can make a billion crypto currencies no one will accept them because they can't trade them to anyone besides me. The network effect is Bitcoins biggest advantage over it competitors. So the only real competitors to Bitcoin are ones that can gain followers through other means like Litecoin that which has a algorithm that makes it hard for custom ascis and fpgas to beat off the shelf PC's, Namecoin is a distributed censorship resistant DNS service Filecoin is a distribute file store using proof of retrievabllity, etc while altclones are ignored.
That's because we talk about the speed of light - in a vacuum - which is a constant....

NASA has been starved down to a rotting skeleton, as it is an easy punching bag for the right.
I don't think the right stands for what you think it does, as they are the ones that fund it when they get elected,

Where the left when the get elected tend to do things like scrap our rocket program at the same time they decommission our shuttles leaving us with no space vehicle. And say oh well we will just pay other people to take us to space.

As Neil deGrass Tyson points out it isn't the right that is cutting science funding like they are often accused instead they tend to better fund the hard sciences and agencies like NASA, where left leaning administrations tend to cut funding.
This is slashdot why is there no AD&D option? No Gurps? and worst of all no cowboyneal?
yeah, you say that, but all I hear is "It is a tablet that can play steam games" The only one on the market.
Asus transformer? booting ubuntu? steam games no windows and tablet/laptop hybrid.
Which raises another question. Can you make Chromium work with Netflix?
I'm a firefox guy personally. I use pipelight and it works quite well.
I use it as well but it has a habbit of getting the audio stream out of synce with the video and tends to misbehave with multiple monitors. I will have to try this on chrome and see if it works better.
If you use a PC as a router though you can do far more with that spare power though, It can also be your DNS server, your home VPN server, SSH, server, Radius server, firewall, tor access point, FTP server, OpenID Server,
That extra power gives a lot of flexibility.
