Oh, that's a damn shame. I bet a lot of people really liked Opera for its customization preferences.

I guess you'd use Opera instead of Chrome, if you don't trust Google.

Fick dich! :-P

After kicking off Flash from OS X, I feel getting 3D acceleration in the browser is also advantageous for Apple. Maybe only Microsoft is the one that does not particularly feel inclined to invest in this tech. But on the other hand, they also have their version of a tablet for sale.

I bet it's on purpose. Currently the applicants are pulling benefits. But the only way to deal with their godforsaken malware-ridden childporn-routing spam-sending virus-infected backdoored Windows machines, is to install Linux. It's a nefarious plot, but it's a bulletproof way to train their lazy-ass benefits claimants into true Linux Sysadmins.

Exactly, and that's what makes me sick.

Why does this guy get to explain himself? In my country, the IRS just sends me a letter about me misbehaving, and says I've got 30 days to pony up the cash.

Why the flying duck does a company then gets to make apologies, when it's obvious by now that they're cheating?

I'd hire some black hat SEO type. All the girls would then get a label like "Cerberusss: hung well".

I agree on a lot of things there, but let's skip 6-8 years ahead. 3D printing will have advanced. I'm thinking colors, shiny gloss, more rigid or more flexible plastics.

In my city, a non-profit organization runs two labs with 3D printers. I could see the next five years where people just select a part, then submit it to a queue at the lab. Next day, they pick it up. Easy peasy, and just like Visicalc it will sell itself, because it saves costs.

And then I'm not even mentioning that it is much more flexible. (select size, colors, gloss, weight, strength, etc.). I'm also not mentioning the possibility to print metals, which might also happen.

I'm pretty surprised that you think nothing is worth printing. There are products for which I feel the only important thing is the plastic shape itself. For instance, a dock for your mobile phone. Or a lunch box. A laptop case. A box to store your nuts and bolts. Models to paint, like model airplanes or tabletop game parts. Door handles. Spoons and spatulas for kitchen usage.

It's a pretty long list.

Like I owe something to my parents. Weird thinking you got there, buddy.

I'm more someone who loves them.

Nothing good? You must be a blast at parties. It's funny, which is a great purpose in and of itself.

The thing is, it's a weird conference anyway. It's called a Developer conference, but they do major product announcements there too. So the press wants to get a seat, and that's only logical. I don't have a solution, but it's Apple's own doing as well.

You have no idea how to fix this, but what you forgot to add: "with in your current budget". You don't need to fix this; you just need to formulate your reason for a higher budget.

Because it's their passion, of course. I like a good fuck as any other guy, but a fuck is just a fuck. I have dreams that I want to fulfill, and they relate to work. Apparently your dreams relate to doing nothing.

Why don't you just carry an extra battery with you? I've got a Samsung Galaxy Gio and ordered an extra battery + external charger. Since these batteries are small and flat, I carry an extra one in my wallet.

If you've got a built-in battery, just buy a case with a built-in battery which you can switch on.
