Right - but my point is that simple anti-competitive behavior is not necessarily running afoul here. IT would be anti-competitive, but for the FTC to be involved the case needs to include monopoly abuse or stopping hard-driving competition.

I see this a few times on here about DOJ or FTC stepping on to Apple like Microsoft, and I think it's pretty off base. In order for that to happen a few things need to occur. First, the government needs to prove that Apple has a monopoly. H

This could be very exciting for amateur analysis of the game. That could potentially have some really cool effects on how we understand the game as data could be recorded and looked at closer, maybe an even greater data based era on the hor

Or maybe it was just me or I gave up trying, they appear to be there now at least on the website, no transit layer to view, but directions do appear.

So far for me yes. Interestingly enough since I live in DC - I never had transit directions in Google Maps anyway.

They already allow turn-by-turn navigation apps, and allow applications for GMail, Chrome (thought they don't get the full baked in system feel). For the most part the duplicated functionality requirements aren't as strict as they were from

It's somewhat unprecedented, but has happened in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_mission It's important to know that as the article points out Embassies do not enjoy full extraterritorial status, and contrary to popular

How I found that was happening for me was looking in Console for Wake and Sleep strings, best of luck.

Are you running Power Nap on battery? Also are you leaving USB items plugged in? On Lion at least I noticed that if I left my USB HD in, and closed the lid on battery it killed it, every time. There was an Apple Support thread confirming th

Again though, Apple is one manufacturer. They make a device and supporting software for that device. Unlike the situation with Microsoft where they were licensing software to multiple device makers. It was the OEM agreements that led to the

Let me preface this with IANAL, just a very interested person. It may very well be, but having a monopoly alone isn't not a crime. A crime in this case would be abusive practices of the monopoly. What makes United States v. Microsoft differ

This is interesting to me as someone who works for a subsidiary of a parent company, suffice to say we are very, very much in competition with a number of the other subsidiaries. This in turn is how the parent company benefits, by getting a

A fine point to be sure, but again we already can see everything a user does on most websites - and most people don't even know about it. Even with that knowledge though wiretapping still leads people to being caught. http://www.boston.com

I think there's plenty of abuse and they should be improved - but I don't think its crazy that in time there would be a system where, with a warrant, investigators could wiretap someone's online activities - provided they had reasonable sus

I think it's also important to note that our understanding of molecular biology while impressive is still so incomplete and there is much to learn. This is a kind of cool Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_molecular_biol

I actually attended one of these types of schools in New Jersey. They are part of the vocational district, but are far from it. There was an entrance exam and requirements, when I attended there were four schools: Marine Academy of Science

Actually, it may be that in properly formed TV ads, muting and/or fast-forwarding still creates an impression. http://www.cs.bc.edu/~gips/BreakingFF.pdf

Well of course, but who said suicide in these instances is ever a rational act? Mental illness is funny like that.

I just got a new Air, and began using Lion, I have to say I've been very, very pleased. Especially on this machine it seems like it was naturally made for this type of computer. I use Alfred, but confession, I sometimes find myself using La

I hadn't considered that - but Twitter shows ads in Twitter, and since this is a web view - maybe?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't kinda situation though - if they reject the app in this case it may create a PR problem for Apple, instead of just for GMail.

by dailyrorschach 15y ago
Considering Google makes its money through selling advertising, of which GMail is a big part of that, I'd imagine having iOS users viewing GMail in an app that shows GMail's ads would be a priority for them.

Kinda. In order to get HBO Go you need to be a subscriber, through your cable company. And not ever cable network is providing access to HBO Go, though I hear Time Warner Cable, is close to doing so.

I remembered when this happened to be when iOS 4 came out and I still had a 3G, a complete wipe/restore solved the problem for me that time, perhaps that will work here, YMMV.

It seems to me that the value in Quicksilver is the advanced operators you can do - for me I only ever used it for launching/file searching and Alfred fills the hole nicely - I don't intend to switch back.

I think the issue with FaceTime is actually more to do with people finding they don't like looking at themselves, and their appearance on camera. I am of course obligated to here mention David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. In the book, pe

Definitely a revenue generating opportunity. However, there is just also a great deal of interest, and as long as they have quality content I'm excited to see it. And yes, I imagine they are contractually obligated, like Mike Rowe, who they

Your welcome to believe that it is bad for you and that you don't want to do it, but I disagree that that should translate to you saying other people can't do something. We could easily replace pot with any number of substances, even legal

I don't know about that. People keep home movies, pictures, etc. Likely over-time she may check them less and less, probably does so already. Maybe only checking on certain days or holidays. I don't think it's that strange, plenty of people
