Comment It's already kind of been implemented. (Score 1) 1

Opera Mini servers get the page that you want to go to and then, the send it in a way so that is is viewable on your phone. So I'm sure that they will come out with a versoion for the tv's and stuff. Hell, they have a version that is compatable with the nintendo DS, so im sure that it's just a matter of time, for the tv work arounds.

http://www.fiercemobilecontent.com/story/itunes-now-70-digital-music-sales-amazon-growing/2010-05-27 I know this is kind of an old link but 70% of the market qualifies as monolopy. Plus the fact that they are about 30% of all music sold in the us every month. They are even under a DOJ invistigation. http://topnews.us/content/221070-apple-under-doj-investigation also kind of an old link. Then they are trying to dictate other stuff, like the whole thing with flash. IMHO if the DOJ is investigationg you for anti-trust laws, then your pretty much a monolopy or on the verge of becomeing one.

Submission + - Palin e-mail snoop gets year in prison (networkworld.com)

netbuzz writes: David Kernell, whose prying into Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account caused an uproar two months before the 2008 presidential election, was today sentenced to a year and a day by a judge in Knoxville, Tenn. Kernell was convicted of misdemeanor computer fraud and felony obstruction of justice back in April. His attorney had argued for probation on the grounds that what Kernell did amounted to a prank that spun out of control.

It may be cheaper and easier to just turn everything into windows based. I'm sure if you you go to some Microsoft guy and say I'm going to convert everything in my company to linux, unless you give me a deal on licenses. I'm sure he will, hey you should probably do it anyway, I've done it, it will usually make the guy krap a brick, and give you a good deal. I'm sure you can get all the adobe stuff for windows, so that's just one department to turn over, instead of three.

Comment This is just step one. (Score 1) 130

If you had enough cash, I'm sure you could make a basic holodeck, you just need a room, and 5, 3d tv's big enough to cover the entire walls and celing and a kinect to use as a controller and krap load of pc, to do all the rendering. Like I said this kinect thing is just the first step to a holodeck type thing. Some companies have alrady said they are going to sell 3d tv's that don't need those damn glasses, so it's just a matter of time before all of the tech can be scaled down.

Fat Fingered Sumo Wrestlers Given iPads 69

The Japan Sumo Association is handing out about 60 iPads to training stables to help the wrestlers communicate because their fingers are too fat to use a regular mobile phone. From the article: "The iPad was chosen because the sumo association believed the device was big enough to cater to wrestler's fat fingers, unlike the smaller keys on mobile phones, according to reports."

Yes, I agree with you, but he's not really a politician any more, he's trying to be a celebrity now. You see in the US celebrities rarely get convicted of anything, and if they do, the the barely go to jail for hours most of the time. It's all for show, like on the last day of the trial, he brought his kids to court, that was the only time his kids came, right before the jury got to start talking about his fate. The guy is a career politician, he knows all the tricks, that's why he did celebrity apprentice, and his wife did I'm a celebrity get me out of here. When people see you on a somewhat regular basis and can connect you as a person, then there is less of a chance they will convice you. As for the $80 a picture, the guy is broke, his last trial cost him what like probably like $20 million by his lawyers and, and now he has got to go through another one. I believe that his wife acutally has a job, and I'm sure that their house is paid off, other wise I'm sure it would have been in forclosure already, this guys hasn't been working for almost 2 years, pretty soon he'll be so desperate he'll be taking pics with people, just for buying him lunch at mcdonalds or something. As for his guilt, I don't think he is guilty, that's not to say I don't think he did anything wrong. He did alot of things wrong, but that is just how politics works in our state, you can't get the janitor to resupply the toilet paper in the washroom with out having to hire his wife as your new maid. Nothing happes around here with out at least a dozen back room deals first.
