I recently recycled my old notebook and took out the hard drive before recycling. Just a few days ago, I noticed videos getting added to the automatic camera uploads folder. These were not from my camera and strangely were of women undressing taken secretly outside windows. When I went to dropbox.com, it seemed that these files were added from the notebook I recycled.
I reached out to Dropbox support but got no response yet.
Cisco has the highest market share in wireless and it is Cisco's innovation in wireless that's keeping it ahead of Ruckus, Aruba and Motorola. Don't understand the conclusion that Cisco can't do "out of the box" R&D, at least in wireless.
I think what he was trying to say is that Cisco's R&D efforts are largely focused on refining the wireless stuff that it already does, if it wants something radically new AND that something is being done already it's easier to just buy the company and their research instead of spinning up a new R&D effort to reinvent the wheel.
No, Amazon Cloud Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive do not have shell integration. You need to upload using a browser.
Hopefully, Google Drive will be similar to Dropbox wherein, you will have a G-Drive directory in your hard disk. Microsoft has a similar product too - it is called Live Mesh.
-you can easily mount a Skydrive folder and Office will recognize the file originated from Skydrive and show relevant information (e.g. other editing the file)
I'm unsure how this comment is helpful. The conversation goes like this:
Person 1: Microsoft SkyDrive doesn't have shell
support. It's browser-only.
Person 2: Sure it has shell support, but it's
Windows-only.
Person 3: But it's not *CROSS-PLATFORM* shell
support!
Why doesn't Apple assemble iPhones here in the USA? It's all in the economics. Cheap skilled labor, fast and easy access to components, unregulated work conditions - none of this is possible in the USA.
A long article that does little to provide any insight into how we can solve this problem.
FTA: "A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.
“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.” """
If that's the sort of existence we'd have to face for bringing those jobs back to the US, I'm not sure I could envision many Americans doing it – and, I, personally, couldn't expect that sort of availability and devotion.
I'll even go so far as to put my own moralistic spin on it – if that's the cost to humanity, I don't want my iPhone made more cheaply... but that may just be me.
Having worked a 12 hr shift in a tire factory I can tell you the only thing that would have to happen is the pay would have to meet American standards. I am not sure Apple is willing to pay that much when slave labor is available elsewhere.
I've only ever been able to think of two directions we can go in.
We can strip away pensions, insurance, environmental regulations, unions, OSHA, and every other advantage the U.S. workforce retains. Or we can add some friction to offshoring and free trade.
The former approach means that we'll lose our stronger buying power and eventually become a less attractive market. The latter means there's less profit to be made and we'll become a less attractive market.
I personally favor the latter approach because retaining our buying power means we're less likely to be shocked by rising energy and food costs down the road, fewer people will be injured and out of work in a system with no safety net, less garbage and pollution gets pumped into our environment, etc.
But right now it feels like we're going halfway down the former road, chipping away at our workers' infrastructure while still remaining uncompetitive on the world market... and continuing to reduce friction on trade.
Sure, ununionized labour would be more employable, but these would be lower-class jobs, not the middle-class jobs that the west of today was built on. Nobody’s going to be able to support a family at middle-class standards on $10-15 an hour.
For some reason, the broader socioeconomic discussion the western world should be having has been condensed to creating jobs. But jobs aren’t a binary thing; and they’re means to an end, not the end goal (an equitable society in which the average person can be a member of the middle class).
The article said that most of the high value componentry came from Germany, Japan and Taiwan. I'm not aware of these people working under slavish conditions. Could it be that the US companies don't have sufficient technical edge?
Um, 'middle class' is squarely in the $10-15/hr range in the US today. That's about $25-30k per parent, with 2 working parents. That's 'average' in most of the US.
I’m not in the position of supporting a family, but is that really enough to support a mortgage, car(s), daycare (if we’re assuming both parents are working), putting kids though university, buying supplementary insurance, etc?
I get the sense that “average” is no longer middle class unless you really loosen the definition of middle class.
Is it possible that the new product announced during the Fall event is actually a 7-inch retina display iPad? Apple might find it expensive to build a 9.7-inch retina display and that could explain the $3billion+ investment that Apple has put in (possibly for the 7-inch retina display screens). Yes, Steve Jobs did say that 7-inch tablets are DOA but it was the same Steve who said Apple doesn't see e-books as a big market.
