Well, except for the extra cash that they spent on buying an iPhone instead of a perfectly usable $150 Android.

Yes. Why not? If Netflix thinks it's so great for telcos, why shouldn't Netflix lead the way and show us how it's done? They can have an open system for everyone who wants a movie deal. Everyone gets the same terms. They can

With her, I got the impression that it was some political protest thing, although I'm not sure I see the connection.

Has any flipped this battle around? I like the idea that the networks want to be neutral. If this is good for the phone network, why not bring it up the stack to, say, the Netflix system. Why shouldn't Netflix give every video maker th

I don't know if this is an inaccuracy per se, but it seems like (7) and (8) are in contradiction. One says they don't accept outside contributions and the other says, "Contributing to SQLite is invite-only".

I'm always interested in how reality can be different from the popular notions. Sure, they have plenty of geothermal energy but it's not free to turn that heat into electricity. And many other things are pretty expensive on that i

I think the poster was saying, "This isn't just my own, lone opinion. Many others seem to feel the same way." And that becomes a problem for the business, despite your own stat about the Christmas numbers.

Rilly? In my experience, many of the rich people are isolated and paralyzed by concerns about status and wealth and family connections and .... It's the poor who are often able to put those issues aside because they have so little stat

I agree. I'm also confused. The original article uses the same phrasing. My impression is that it's (2) because the people who ate the cheese seemed to have more cognitive ability. " In addition, the risk of developing dement

I'm surprised that anyone prints anything any more. Such a waste of paper, toner and ink (the most expensive liquids on earth).

But that's not true in the world of stocks. If all the stocks go up, all of the owners are richer. And they do tend to go up, at least on average.. in recent history. The futures and options markets are zero-sum. For every winner, ther

The great thing about leafing through BYTE is seeing the old ads right alongside the articles. Today, the great content gets stripped away from the ads. Yes, you can go read some article from a newspaper from ten years ago, but the ads are

The US Navy, like all parts of the DOD, knows that the best way to build support for any weapons system is to have part of it manufactured in a Congressman's district. The most unsinkable projects are built, little by little, in 435 di

It would be nice if some HAM operators or other citizen scientists could provide some evidence about the US moon landing that can be verified independently. One friend won't shut up about it and it grows tiresome.

Or worse, start saying just the country name with a German accent, the way that the pretentious news readers like to pronounce Spanish names with a Spanish accent. But only Spanish names. Not other countries.
