Wouldn't it be interesting if every time there was a bunch if layoffs like this of tech workers the number of H1B visas were automatically lowered by the same amount (since clearly there are a large number of tech workers in America now available to fill those jobs).
I think it would be fascinating to see the effects of such a rule on corporate decisions regarding these type of actions.
They want to talk to a physicist, I presume, to help determine if a drop in temperature — a slowing of the air molecules inside the football — can explain the low pressure that was found in some of the balls used in the A.F.C. championship game two weeks ago between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts.
You don't need a physicist, a local tire dealer will tell you that. As air temperature drops it will cause a loss in pressure in inflated items. In an automotive tire this drop is only about 1 psi per 10 degrees below freezing. Not sure how big a difference this whole "deflate-gate" thing is about but I imagine it's a bit more.
Eagerly awaiting the sequel series:

The two questions on everyone's mind...
1) Is that going to be a LTS release?
2) Does it have systemd?
So we took your favorite TV provider, and made them an MVNO, too!
With a heavy hitter-partner we'll keep your 4G video streaming quality high, while your bill is on the down-low.
So now you can watch Sky on Sky, as it comes to you through the sky!
Yeah, because there's never been a security or privacy exploit on a Linux-based OS made by Google.
Yes, the IoT is coming... as soon as IPv6 is fully deployed with stateless autoconfiguration so we'll have network addresses for all the things.
I hear both Verizon and Comcast are really happy about the idea of offering routable addresses for everyone, without finding some way to monetize it.
Come now. You know that's not how it's going to work.
The household things will not talk direct to the Internet. They'll connect via NAT to a hub-like base station device you have to buy separately and connect to your broadband router. It will use a proprietary protocol that bears a striking resemblance to something open-source (except with extensions on it) to talk to the devices. You will communicate with the devices via a custom website or smartphone apps. Your access to your devices will be contingent on you paying your monthly subscription fee for said service, of course. Even when you try and control the devices from your own LAN the commands will be routed out to $connectedhomeprovider and then back to your home's hub device, so if your Internet service is down (or their servers) you will still have no access to your connected IoT devices, even when they are sitting right next to you.
If they can't make a profit without bombarding people with ads, maybe they fail at being entrepreneurs. It's not my job as a consumer to prop up bad business plans.
There's Amazon Prime for Business?
I'm curious... At this point do we just expect everything to be 100% free?
The website should be a way for the business to reach new potential customers. Not an ends to producing profit in itself.
I buy plenty on Amazon despite blocking those affiliate third-party retailer ads at the bottom of the pages.
There are porn websites that operate on giving away short video samples, and subscribers paying for full videos.
I block ads on ALL websites.
Using this technique, can they tell us if the NSA did write the Regin Malware now?
They are comparing a global economy (Apps) to a local US market.
What's the profit of global Hollywood sales?
You might also note this is going entirely off Apple's numbers. We haven't added the money from the markets of Android and other platforms.
Because people have been using largely the same UI for the last 19 years, and are used to it. Thats a good enough reason the screw it up isn't it.
It is for Microsoft. If they don't make a new Windows release visually different in some significant way most people will see no reason to upgrade, which will make the product a commercial failure (or at least, not enough of a success to make Wall Street happy). Now, it's true, if Microsoft were do make a new version of Windows significantly faster performing and more secure then they might get a bunch of people on board even if it had the same interface as before, adding shiny to software is much less work than actually improving the product itself.
Now if google would just announce no more flash allowed in ads, we'd be set.
Why would you willingly watch ads?
