"ipad2 factory destroyed? NO MORE IPAD2?? GOOD BYE CRUEL WORLD!!"
*jumps*
Fifty-bucks says the U.S. media will grab hold of this story and spin it as a retaliatory strike by terrorist group Al Qaeda in response to the alleged death of Usama bin Laden.
What exactly has led you to believe this?
And please tell me it is more than "LOLZ A|\/|D R0X0RZ LOLZ!"
Indeed it does relate to aesthetics and presentation.
Google bashes Microsoft.
Why would Google bash Microsoft? Who is the message intended for? Who is the audience? What is Google's purpose?
...
Exactly.
Would Linux have anything close to the appeal it now enjoys with out the approachable penguin logo?
Cute n' cuddly
Hip and cool
The underdog
The monopolizing corporation
Identity...
You are missing the point entirely.
It is presentation.
Appearances.
In other words, AESTHETICS.
What prompted AMD to change the logo? Love?
OSX and Win7, two OSes by two separate...
Clearly superior and experienced? As if that mattered...
Remember Pentium 4? That piece of crud sold by the millions. Why? Because Pentium 4 was the highest performing processor on the market?
...
I have read what you have written. Your assertion that Google is turning into a greedy corporation is against the curve. The curve I speak of is the view of reality holding some companies as "evil,"...
May I refer you to Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business?
What should be of considerable importance are not the attempts by large business...
This really has to be embarrassing for a lot of people. I mean, I thought FERMI was supposed to wipe AMD/ATI off the earth. Guess not, huh?
You make it sound so antiseptic and black/white. Life is not like that.
What a relief that is.
I was afraid for a moment that this was another "the good corporation of the north will defeat the evil corporation of the west" mantra.
That just took a load off of my mind,...
Your profound desire for a large corporation to succeed in making money is based on what exactly?
This applies to politics as well.
It is a type of cult, a cult of shared identity. No matter how pathetic the cult/religious members are, no matter how many lies politicians spin to their constituents, no matter how desperately...
For great justice!
I am saying it is best to wait until release of product.
I am also curious about Bulldozer. Understand after so many product hypes, so many promises, so many claims predicting gain or loss,...
Specifying 7 or 8 years was and remains a completely arbitrary range.
After spending 17 years in tech, my expectations of what is[ and promises issued by AMD, Intel, nVidia, etc. are so cosmically...
No, good sir, I am not a fan boy.
Plainly speaking, I am not one for estimates and predicates and promises and what if's and could have been's.
"GOLLY WILBUR, DO YA THINK BULLDOZER CAN BEAT...
Roughly 18 months from now I will have earned my associate's degree. The doctorate degree will be earned in additional 7-8 years. Sky is the limit if Bulldozer will see the light of day before the...
gee golly whiz this is all so very exciting and interesting, but what implications does this have on day to day life?
It takes about 70-100 years in the court of public opinion for anything to change in America. Look at JFK and Oswald. Now it's 911 and Usama.
How do you figure Usama was responsible for 9/11? Seriously. I am not about to take at face value the word of CNN, FOX news, or the Federal Government of the United States.
So, with that aside,...
My guess would be a road map.
