I'm convinced.

It's a self-UN-fulfilling prophecy... just like when computer makers began rounding up to 667MHz processors. Apparently, 66Mhz, 266MHz, 466MHz needed to be rounded down, but they had to round up 666.

Both the lead developer and the project manager of our site had to be committed. Otherwise, murders were going to be committed.

Very informative. I can't wait to hear from the other one.

BOTH of them?

Tony Hayward is available!

He's got the "right stuff".

• Deny and minimize problems
• Emphasize your own power and importance.
• Make the story all about you
• Never apologize, and don't even pretend to learn from your mistakes.
• Hang onto your job even when it's clear you should go

And experience in negatively impacting an entire ecosystem. Perfect! (Also perfect that this article posted 14 minutes before the Slashdot article. ;-)

I assume admins are active in an annual affirmation of amazing alliteration as apparent amid abnormal (also atypical) alphabetical arrangements!

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-29/verizon-wireless-said-to-start-offering-iphone-ending-at-t-s-exclusivity.html Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone company, will start selling Apple Inc.'s iPhone next year, ending AT&T Inc.'s exclusive hold on the smartphone in the U.S., two people familiar with the plans said. The device will be available to customers in January, according to the people, who declined to be named because the information isn't public. Brenda Raney, a spokeswoman for Verizon Wireless, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Natalie Kerris, an Apple spokeswoman, and Peter Thonis, a Verizon Communications Inc. spokesman, declined to comment.

Video games! HAH! I learned to drive recklessly from Han Solo on the big screen. I didn't need no stinkin' video game! Kiss my asteroids!

At first, I balked at the lack of Blu-Ray. But what place would this have next to my 55" screen? I already have:

1. HDTV with DVR
2. Blu-Ray which runs with my universal remote (TV is aware)
3. Home Theater sound
4. USB input to put a bunch of still pictures into a huge frame
5. A couch and a coffee table.

What am I lacking? ***The INTERNET!!!***

I could get an iPad, but what if I want to search real estate listings or sort through my iPhoto library with my wife between innings and both see well? I could bring in my laptop, but where do I put it when I'm not using it? I'm tired of the stuff I do (internet and computer) being the visitor in the living room. This could solve that.

Unless Apple tries to put HDTV/DVR into a tiny box, the Blu-Ray is redundant. Rather than have a dongle to get my TV into a computer, let's do it the other way around. The Mac Mini is the Internet Dongle.

Who here has a monster TV and doesn't have the Blu-Ray already? Hands... Anyone?

Well, all fanboi-ness aside, here's an and...

Apple Surpasses Microsoft In Market Capitalization... and in 1997, we all thought that this would NEVER happen.

In 1997, Apple was already in the obituary columns. Now, it's the second largest company in the world (market cap). But they made some changes

• innovated where necessary (did we forget how hard it was for your mom to get onto the internet in 1997?)
• got with the program: adopted *NIX, adopted Intel, adopted standards like USB, DVI, DisplayPort, MP3
• allowed coexistence: Boot Camp, Parallels/VMFusion, for those who MUST run Windows.
• jettisoned proprietary/arcane technology: ADB, ADC, SCSI gawd I miss powering up my machine from the keyboard :(
• recognized what people (not users, people) wanted (easy music, easy access to mobile data)
• damned the torpedoes and stood behind their source code model (You may 'make install, not war', but nearly everyone else DOESN'T!)

These are great lessons for any company, but perhaps, FOSS should learn from this. Or else FOSS will 'never' make it big on the desktop.

...Statements of Privacy Policy do. When a site gives explicit guidelines, to which you agree, and THEN they erode or drop the wall that THEY TOLD YOU was there, THAT is evil.

I'm looking at you, Facebook.
