Yeah sure, the 30% cut being exactly the same as Apple wants on everything else sold through them is a complete coincidence
The agency model has DESIGNED BY APPLE all over it
Actually that's false: Amazon gets up to 65% of the sales price for ebooks they sell. And Amazon also has the most favored nation clause, and not just in the ebooks section - unlike Apple in their App Store. At best you can claim Apple stole the design from Amazon.
They cost more than paperbacks because publisher is trying to get its money back with the higher cost. You are right people tend to complain a lot about pricing. My only problem is when the ebook price is MORE than a version of the physical book. I'll chose to buy the physical book instead,
Did you also buy the cheaper audio and video tapes over those bloody silver discs that should have been cheaper?
The best case performance doesn't determine success, worst case does. How well do they perform when, for example, they have a month of overcast skies?
Still better than the nuclear plants that have to be shut down in a month with too little cooling water.
It's just gigawatts, not gigawatts per hour.
I was thinking that. Maybe they meant that average power output, over one hour, was 22 GW?
That's what all the German language reports say.
0 of course. That's when they're buying power from France's nukes though.
And yet, Germany remains a net exporter of electric power. Including to France. http://cleantechnica.com/2012/02/09/clean-energy-loving-germany-increasingly-exporting-electricity-to-nuclear-heavy-france/
Nooo...he is saying what Apple and Foxconn is doing is simply a variation of a Potemkin Village where you build a front to please the suits but in reality the vast majority of Foxconn workers will be living like shit.
You mean the Foxconn workers not working on Apple products will still be living like shit, and that is fully Apple's fault. Yeah, I fully understood what you were saying.
And that would kill OS X's utility as a Unix platform.
And? They already killed Mac OS X Server and removed X11 support,
You are soooo close to being right - if only you weren't completely wrong. So let me doubt the value of your opinion about how much Apple cares.
The most recent version of SkyDrive just shows up as a folder on your PC. Any app can read and write files to it using normal filesystem APIs, and they get automatically synced. And, of course, said app doesn't have to be distributed through the Windows Store.
And iCloud will show up as a folder on your Mac, and any program can open and save files from it just like they were local - it's just the APIs that allow you to automatically sync over iCloud that will be restricted.
BTW, SkyDrive API has a number of limitations (filetypes and usage) - though MS doesn't say what will happen to "nonconforming" apps.
Siri results are pretty basic as it is. The Yelp iPhone app is a much better tool for finding restaurants or such.
How so? Siri uses Yelp.
I hate siri 1.0 because it removed the standard apple voice control that was in the 3GS and 4.0 that works when you dont have a internet connection.
So turn it off. Bamm, Voice Control.
I'd rather push my Harley than ride a rice burner.
