In England I learned the version further up this thread. Computer Science nomenclature doesn't really follow British vs. American English separations as much as natural language. In fact I don't recall anyone in Britain use those terms to m

They indicate a Liu Hong seems to have authored the install package. No indication if he was a Energizer employee or not.

How does code like that get in a system from a major corporation? Is this an outsourcing/supplier issue, or something related to Energizer's own staff?

It's fraud because they impersonated non-real persons in order to obtain good by deception. E.g. not only did they violate the TOS they also provided fraudulent information during a commercial transaction (buying the ticket). That's illegal

But Google aren't making these devices. They are providing an OEM operating system which can be installed on a device made by another manufacturer and sold branded by yet another company. It's exactly the same circumstance.

This is exactly the same as OEM computers and Windows. Microsoft have such dominance in OSes that they can't object to manufacturers making their own deals to set default search engines in browsers. It's an anti-trust issue. OEM manufacture

This headline is misleading in that Timbl is agreeing that the charter is out of date. He isn't rejecting some proposal from Adobe to banish items from the WG agenda.

by sh1mmer 17y ago
Some have interpreted that way, but it's quite cynical. I used to do a bunch of W3 standard. People I know on the inside _not_ from Adobe have told me that this was just a procedural question. This is probably the reason it was done on a pr

This seems like a better model for the iPad. The kind of heavy note taking interaction means they were looking more for a PDA-ish replacement. The Kindle is very much optimized for reading, taking some notes is definitely possible, but the
