Fuck you. The Newton was a HUGE(!!!!!!) loser. You are just too fucking lazy to look it up. I was working in the 90's. I remember this and I'm not going to waste my time learning you easy to find information. FUCK OFF AND DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK.

OT: I wish their was a way to delete my fucking account. This site is a bunch of armchair CTO's who don't know their eye sockets from their assholes.

So you voted down my comment because you couldn't find a citation on Google? First link :-> http://www.edengene.co.uk/article/how-the-world-learnt-from-... using https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&#...

Actually it was the Newton that made Apple loose so much money. It was never profitable with an average annual loss of 1 billion USD. But if it wasn't for that loss, Steve Jobs would never have been requested to be a consultant at Apple and turn himself into the CEO later.

Two words: Government Regulation.

Once Congress puts a bill forward to deal with this issue, it will be the beginning of the end for this type of behavior. I'm sure Obama will get behind it as well, as it will help the computer market immensely.

No. You can put in whatever copyright information you wish as long as you are able to be contacted based on that information.

> Does it mean that if someone steal my photo without permission and removed copyright information, other people can just use download it from there and legally use it however they want because they cannot contact me?

Yes.

FTP is perfectly sufficient. Why should they use FTPS instead?

Good. Adapt or die.

Will no one rid us of these Steve Job's parables. Wisdom has no correlation to success.

Bank regulation isn't worth the paper it's printed on. The contracts reflect the culture, and if the culture is rotten the benefits will be the same.

Ultralight aviation(1) is available to the masses, but people don't want to replace their cars with them. Why? It is an unsolvable problem, so nobody knows.

Yes.

You've only linked to print advertising and newspapers' declining revenue, i.e printing on dead trees. Printing on paper then selling that paper isn't a requirement for journalism to happen.

Yes, it's called journalism.

Alcatraz was a prison known for tight security, so I am guessing that based on their motto "…your plugins are mine…" the project is just trying to tie all the external projects into one secured location. But I am just guessing.

Others may have more cynical views, though.

Here is the project list: https://github.com/mneorr/alcatraz-packages/blob/master/pack...

Steve Jobs big plan was to sell a computer for under a thousands dollars, given that macs used to cost over two thousand dollars in the "monopoly" years. And it was not only accomplished on the Mac platform when he returned to the company, but also on the mobile platform by releasing a computer less than five-hundred dollars with the iPad accomplishing Bill Gate's vision with Origami(1).

Mac sales are critical in that they are also development machines used internally as well as their "partners" who create and sell apps for the platform. Apple will never abandon the Mac platform even if it looses them money.

I think the "Make something that works" poster isn't available.

Yes. The Windows-Intel platform is fully backwards compatible back to Windows 3.1 with 32-bit.

> The parent also said that particular app is well established and that his newer apps do not fair as well.

Wrong. The parent post claimed that the higher cost app $12.99 led to much higher revenue than the lower priced apps at FREE with ads and $.99 to $1.99 cost. In fact so much so that the parent post wrote that no more low cost premium or premium apps would be developed.

Please, do your research so as to not waste people's time correcting you on this website.

Two main reasons:

1) Youth income is low given low employment and a stagnant economy which some would call a recession.

2) High gas prices means less cars and more public transit.

Windows RT didn't break any compatibility because Windows RT was built on the ARM hardware platform. Win32 was just a software platform on Intel's hardware platform and won't work on ARM's hardware.

The more features which are added to a laptop, the more it tends to cost.

I never claimed suicides don't count, so I have no idea what you are referring to.

I'd rather not engage in political arguments especially on this site.

In the US gun suicides outnumber gun homocides, so the gun control advocates add them together and call it gun violence to inflate the numbers for political reasons.

You seem exactly like a shill.

Thank God nothing like this happened in Venezuela.

Why is that New York picture in Black and White, and the Moscow Metro empty?

And slightly on topic, here is Windows 95 on a 25Mhz 386 with 4 meg of RAM http://everything2.com/title/25+MHz+386+running+Windows+95

The parent post just stated that he made 5-6k per month off of a single iPad app. Can you back up your claims with facts?
