The same people who can't credit properly throughout history are the same folks who ignore Adam Smith's premise for his Wealth of Nations: One big assumption being that all needs of a Nation have and are met leaving on the wants to be fought out by business owners miraculously all focused on convincing the consumer their product(s)/service(s) offer them the greatest value for their capital.

Seeing as no nation is remotely at the point of a nation's needs already being sustained and fulfilled how Smith's thesis became a bastion of capitalist economic theory should have one questioning the merits of this pure capitalism pipe dream.

Yes, it's a shame a vindictive billionaire, who disavowed his daughter for nearly 20 years, didn't get to see his yacht finished before he died.

Having worked for Steve, twice, you don't know a fucking thing about the man. You also don't know the inheritance he set aside for his little daughter whose mother pissed away on her own selfish desires. Lisa is the only one in that relationship who gets to bitch about the lack of one. They sure made up for lost time so please I doubt she gives two shits what your cowardly comment thinks.

Wouldn't a small amount of these phones flood a wireless spectrum? It would not take many people in an area until the speed is chopped down significantly.

Or do they have poor range and expect femtocells everywhere? But why not just WiFi at that point?

What do you think? They sure as hell expect the Telcos to pony up the spectrum mesh and not themselves. Testing at an R&D facility is fine, but to start spreading 5G around is ludicrous and a bad business strategy.

Glad to see that the first amendment is so inviolable...

How the hell is this post insightful? The poster has the wrong goddamn Amendment, unless he's talking about whining all day long, peaceably, without insinuating a riot and/or panic, to publishing his grievances but last I checked this has nothing to do with individual manufacturing of what obviously will lead to military grade 3D printing weaponry. Grow the hell up.

The reason to improve MathML support isn't browsers. It's eBook readers that share the underlying rendering engines. Lots of textbook publishers want to use MathML, but without robust, reliable, visually appealing support, everybody has to do awful hacks with inline images or (hopefully) SVG instead.

Spot on. EPub 3.x with MathML 3.0 is vital to work in digital publishing for iOS, Android, etc.
