I think non-technical people are easily distinguish between a 10 inch and 12 inch screen, but do not understand that resolution is also important. The Mini 10 (not the 10v!) has the option for a 1366x768 screen, while the Mini 12 has 1280x8

Written in 2003, and its age shows. It is clear that the people working at Ubuntu and other distros only care about making their product easier to use by non-programmers. 'Raymond does attempt to compare and contrast Unix to other operating

This is why I sold my MacBook and bought a ThinkPad T500. While it's nice that every single MacBook that is your exact model has the exact same hardware and runs very well on OS X, I have found that Lenovo laptops run better on Linux.

This is super unlikely to happen. Google's snarky messages would invite people to download Chrome, while Apple's would try to convince people to download Safari. Combined with the fact that people still using IE6 of their own volition would

Are you talking about their publication of the NSA's wiretapping program? Or about European cooperation to track terrorist funds that was in violation of EU privacy law? Or maybe their publication of excerpts from the Pentagon Papers in the

Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View#Development ) suggests that this is correct. New York City was added at its launch in May 2007. London did not appear until March 2009, almost two years later.

Being that this page is from 2005 (almost exactly 4 years ago!) and the source is still not available, I would say that it is a neat trick, but also difficult to reproduce.

Except that it is difficult to take a class without buying the textbook, and they are expensive. When was the the last time your professor mandated that you see a certain sports team play, but base tickets cost $100?

I get the impression that this is for prototyping as opposed to a new way to create applications. ASE lets you develop on the device itself using high-level scripting languages to try out your idea now, in the situation where you need it,

If 'smartbooks' continue to have the same form factor as laptops (and netbooks), I think consumers will continue to buy them as low-cost, low-powered replacements for their computers. Hopefully, manufacturers will introduce new form factors
