Tom Reviews 13 LCD Displays
n3r0.m4dski11z noted that Tom's Hardware has a review of 13 LCD Displays
for anyone who has been thinking about making the leap from the CRT to that
fancy shmantsy LCD stuff thats all the rage with the kids these days.
As usual, they do a pretty good job explaining the issues. In this
case comparing CRT and LCD technology, as well as covering a ton of
screens.
Hey Bill Belsey, I sex0r your mom.
Props to the HTMFers
With its new form factor, is there anyone else but me interested in a non-MacOS, non-Linux iMac?
Microsoft, take me away!
The industrial design that went into the box (it's not even really a box) with an LCD screen attached is great.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Windows community when
recently IDC confirmed that Windows accounts for less than a fraction of 0.1
percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft
survey which plainly states that Windows has lost more market share,
this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Windows
is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by
failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin
comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a nerd
to predict Windows's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Windoss
faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for
Windows because Windows is dying. Things are looking very bad for
Windows. As many of us are already aware, Windows continues to lose market
share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Windows XP is the most
endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Windows leader
Bill gates states that there are 7000 users of Windows 2000. How many users
of Windows ME are there? Let's see. The number of Windows 2000 versus Windows ME
posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are
about 7000/5 = 1400 Windows ME users. Windows XP posts on Usenet are about
half of the volume of Windows ME posts. Therefore there are about 700
users of Windows XP. A recent article put Windows 98 at about 80 percent
of the Windows market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400
Windows 98 users. This is consistent with the number of Windows 98 Usenet
posts.
Due to the troubles at Redmond, abysmal sales and
so on, Windows went out of business and was taken over by
Internet Explorer who sell another troubled OS. Now Internet Explorer is also
dead,
its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major
surveys show that Windows has steadily declined in market share. Windows is
very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Windows
is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. Windows
continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at
this point in time. For all practical purposes, Windows is dead.
Fact: Windows is dead
And here I thought the world record was 12"
