No, because even bums know about news management. Bad news sells. Keep quiet about the good stuff.

Someone hasn't been taking their medication.

Nuclear winter has been pretty much debunked now. It was a nice scare story 20 years ago but we have better scare stories now :p

That's going to mean you have to produce a different app every time a new phone comes out with a slightly different CPU. Or you'll force the platform onto a single CPU model which would in the long term kill it.

Android has had push email for years.. 2.1 even has a little desktop widget to turn the syncing on and off.

The exchange features are somewhat lacking (although you can buy some very nice apps to make up for that). I don't think that's android's market though.. RIM have the business market sewn up.

I reckon they're looking to usurp Nokia, who are very vulnerable either now, especially now their marketshare has dropped below 50% for the first time.. they've put out a series of smart phones that quite frankly suck (Symbian is beyond help and it's about time they ditched it)... they keep putting shitty resistive touch screens on everything.

No you're not alone. The story was too generic to carry the movie.. it's all about the graphics.

Tie that quality of rendering to a decent story then you've got a winner - possibly next year.

The story was very generic.. I think it was aimed at the American market (possibly still guilty at killing all the indians or something) but it didn't engage me and like you the plot was obvious after about the first 10 minutes.

I liked the graphics.. I saw it in 3D but wasn't impressed with the 3d (creating depth by making the background blurry doesn't impress me it just gives me a headache). 2D would probably have been a better option.

That's because they were dealing with a real threat not just playing at it. If there's a risk of bombs the last thing you want to do is cause a choke point meaning large numbers of people congregate in a single area - you keep the checks as efficient and fast as possible.

A refinement of that the used on occasion was to issue a bomb warning in one place then blow up the place people were most likely to evacuate to.

I've come across this before. It's *way* cheaper to buy a new printer each time ebay the new one & keep the ink (sold as new, get more money) than to keep buying new ink.

You just described a LAN (more like a workgroup). That is *not* cloud computing.

Cloud computing is just client/server. It's where you store the documents 'in the cloud' (remote server) rather than locally. Hence google docs (the subject of this article), in fact a lot of the google stuff is 'cloud' based.

No. A stated feature of the OS is no native execution.

It'll be completely locked down.. Google have stated no native apps, only web apps, and no local storage, only storage 'in the cloud'. To me that makes it not a useful system... I'm sure *someone* will like it but don't see the point myself.

Linux kernel is GPL v2, as is much of the essential software. They can stay clear of GPLv3 easily and create a perfectly working distribution.

5 seconds is more than enough to trigger an asthma attack. My wife nearly ended up in hospital after some idiot decided to blow his crud in her direction as she was walking into a building. I'm 100% for putting the penalties for nicotine possession up there with heroin.
