Yet another way that workers in cubicles are just like ants.

True. This seems the exact polar opposite of Ubuntu now - they provide software, you provide hardware.
Everyone has several old phones kicking around - if not they're dirt cheap used. A version of Ubuntu that would install on existing hardware would be popular - and build Canonical's business. Then, *if* that was successful, then they could look at producing their own hardware.
But - if they are switching to producing their own hardware - where is the Canonical/Ubuntu laptop?
Most tech companies claim ownership of anything created by employees, whether created at work or on their own time.
But, the students are not employees, and signed no waiver when they enrolled. Claiming ownership of the student's creations is rediculous.
They mean the transistors are programmable.
Xilinx, Altera, and others have made reprogrammable chips for years. This new technology could potentially provide a different/better/cheaper/faster way of making a FPGA, but it isn't anything brand new, just a different way of doing the same thing.
4. Pissed. That Oracle waited and collected bug fixes, not releasing any until they'd collected 50 in total, so they'd look like heroes.
The President got Chu'd out.
The only people that should be against this is the Cartels and the ATF.
Alcohol is fully legal - and yet there are quite a few moonshiners out there.
Making drugs legal won't stop the issues, it will merely change them, like it did when they legalized alcohol.
Cell phones are just two-way radios; those existed in 1960.
Thomas Edison didn't invent pictures.
No, he didn't. Photography existed in the 1820's; Edison was born in 1847. There could easily exist baby pictures of Edison.
Best thing about writing a customer-service simulator: if your code freezes, people don't care, they think it's part of the simulation.
They're shifting to 1920x1080 instead of x1200 because of cost - the industry is pumping out a LOT of 1920x1080 displays for TV sets, so that exact resolution is cheap.
Square, high-resolution displays do exist.... generally used in radar applications.
Android phones typically do *not* list their capacity - either total or available. Instead they just have a memory slot. The customer can put in as much or as little memory as they need, without being charged a rediculous amount (Microsoft $100 for an extra 32GB of space; a 32GB micro flash card is about $25).
For the first time a summary that ends in a question can be answered by a yes.
That doesn't mean there won't be 300 responses to this story, though.
You can store a *lot* of plain text files (not HTML or source code) in 23GB.
Source code *is* plain text files.
No mention of Nokia?
TFS said "Microsoft is struggling".
