Of course Google's scale is impressive but you're talking about datacenters upon datacenters of servers. I always get a chuckle when people talk about "old" mainframes taking up a whole datacenter. Now the Mainframe occupies a corner and

It makes for a cheap way to run Oracle since they charge per core.

Yes Java runs on the mainframe and runs quite well. CICS can run JVMs which can provide web services using Axis2 as well languages like PHP, Groovy, Javascript (via Rhino) or Java for CICS apps. Websphere runs on the mainframe but it's a

Great hardware but we just upgraded to the z196. Maybe in a couple of years :)

I still enjoy my Playbook tablet and though i plan on getting a Windows Phone 8 i can't wait to see what RIM brings out.

Yeah initially it wasnt made to support 3rd party apps he expected everyone to innovate on the web. That's why they concentrated so much on making Safari great. All the developers wanted native apps and eventually it brought the app store

I thought I read that right after they were outbid they showed interest in TV whitespaces and Verizon was pissed. I guess nothing ever came of that.

Wow you just brought back memories. I remember when a 250 ping was fantastic :)

I always thought that was a feint to try to get whitespace access.

The other issue is who is readily available to discuss this if it happens? How do I know my emails don't just go to someone who barely speaks the language? If my Microsoft ID was locked out that's quite a few services I wouldn't have acce

That's what Apple originally planned with the IPhone. Make the browser as awesome as possible to support web apps. I guess people aren't that into it. :P

More importantly will Apple give me a replacement for my 2008 IMac? :P

..and yet if they release too early when it's not ready they have to hear "it just seems like beta software" "it's too unpolished"

Haters gon' hate. I personally would love to see Microsoft bring out a standard branded tablet to serve as a baseline. Their partners should be able to step their game up with their own tablets that may have support for things like 4G rad

Not a big deal. I'm tired of the HD7 as it is.
139.
by zmonkeyz 14y ago
Agreed.

by zmonkeyz 14y ago
I really like my HD7 simply for the OS. The hardware is actually old and that's the unfortunate state for most of the Windows Phone "selection". The bigger problem is that all of the good phones are on one network.

It's interesting that people say "iMessage does the same thing that BBM does" yet you always hear complaints about how the iMessages are routed. Sometimes to the computer at home, other times to the phone or ipad. If you mean at it's core

'I would drop the development of the QNX OS and all related systems' I knew it was coming and wanted to stop reading after this. With that said Android may work out for RIM vs other companies because they make pretty good hardware and they

It would help to have your flagship phone on multiple networks.

Maybe Megadeath can make a "Bing sells, but who's buying?" album.

I could think of a billion reasons you'd be inspired. :)

People are so damn stupid sometimes. Like 15,000 is so extravagant for a game budget.

I remember the Terraserver. It was always messed up when I wanted to check it out. :P

I can't really see what you're describing. One of those things you have to see in person i guess.

I hear you. I have a 2008 IMac and I wish i could put 8GB or more in it.
