My point being...perhaps the packaging doesn't have much difference to the success of the company as you think...
It is part of the total package was the point of the article and it worked for me. When I bought my first iPod back in 2002, I had never seen a product packaged in such a pretty way. A company that cares about that much detail amazed me. First impressions are a mighty thing.
But seriously, who *actually* reads journals any more?
Only the best scientist and researchers in the world.
All we need to do is latch on some peer review and ranking system onto the arXiv (or similar) and we get rid of all of these outdated journals.
Sounds like a restricted wikipedia and we all know that wikipedia is immune from mis-information. Honestly, I don't see any issue with journals. They are peer reviewed and most are digital and fully-indexed these days. Journals provide about the only reliable, authoritative documentation on the internet.
There's a guy in town that uses a laser to get the plaque off
My dad did laser dentistry back in the early 90s to zap cavities. It was really cool because the laser would intensify when you ran over dark spots(he used a black business card to demonstrate it). Overall, it was a 50k machine that was apparently way ahead of its time since we don't really see laser dentistry everywhere(or the insurance problem that you stated).
Its' famicom, not famicon.
Both are technically right.
Family Computer => famicom
My poor attempt at Romaji since Slashdot doesn't support Japanese...
famarii conputa => famicon
Since the product came from Japan and was never marketed as such to the US...
Where are the Amiga games?
Commodore was a Canadian company. This was an auction of his Japanese related property. RTFA(Read the f'n Auction:-P
The podcast that the student listened to was produced on June 7 and the slashdot comment was June 4. Hmm... to think user JustOK could have been in Nature.
Perhaps JustOK is the actual student and is just bad at remember dates:-/
When selling a system you ask the following: 1) Intended use 2) Final destination of system
Accept for the part that the clerk didn't ask. The clerk just assumed that it was going to Iran because the girl spoke Farsi. As the article asked... should Apple also not sell to people speaking Korean and Spanish because North Korean and Cuba are export banned countries as well?
So you keep insisting. But the fact is, you don't know that, you only have the media report's word for that.
The media report that quotes the girl as saying that she was born and lives in the US.
I believe they're sitting on a large body of cash and in no danger of going under any time soon.
It is a public company... no reason to "believe" or guess...
1.77 Billion and falling.
Dune remains the all-time great, in my opinion. It pulls together many different themes... It's a coming of age story, it's about becoming a leader, it's about making do with circumstances, and it's about the struggle for resources (spice, water).
I don't think an eight year old would enjoy Dune. And... the books are somewhat inappropriate when it gets to the spice orgies and such.
1280 x 768 isn't common.
Computer Monitors
Looks pretty popular to me. The lesson... Microsoft typically does its homework when copying.
If you lie, cheat, and steal, you'll get into the top echelons of power.

Next step, full disclosure of high school and college papers. I bet we would fine that most politicians were/are plagerizers.
