Before you copy your reply to another similar (yet not the the same) post, you should read the post. I do not use 3rd party applications. I didn't even infer that in my post. As I said, the NewUI (a microsoft product, built-in, not 3rd-party) is basically a replacement to the Start Menu. I use it to start applications. That's it. I don't use the NewUI Apps and App Store because I'm not on a tablet, I'm on a desktop. If I had a Microsoft Tablet, I would use the NewUI and App Store.
I said the author of the YouTube video is an idiot because he says windows 8 is unusable. That is completely false, because I use it just fine, as well as many others.
I've been using it just. I put up with the NewUI instead of the Start Menu when I have to, but other than that, I spend 99.9% of the time on the desktop and it works just like Windows 7. I haven't used the NewUI/Metro Tiles/Apps or Store since the first day I installed it, and I have no plans to either.
They can still put the hard drive back together and pull out information. Facebook has everything on him. Google tracked what he searched and what websites he visited. The fingerprints on his keyboard and they way the letters are worn will show which keys he used most and they can determine his passwords to his accounts. The NSA and DHS has been tracking him, and everyone else in the country, and knows his exact whereabouts for the last several years. Yes, I've seen CSI.
Many companies currently pay for personal phone plans if they use them for business, or at least give them some credit; flat fee or usage based. With these dual identity phones, will you need two phone plans? For many people that may make their own personal phone plan more expensive, especially if they were paying $0 before.
So true! I mean, have you priced MacOS X? Apple wants what, $30 for it? Whereas Microsoft wants Windows 7 for over $100! And people buy it!
Not sure this is always true. I mean, yes, people buy it with a new PC, but how many upgrade? I don't see that many people upgrade their computers, unless they get a free/stolen copy and their bro-in-law's cousin twice removed installs it for them.
But, just about everyone I know with a Mac upgrades it when the new version comes out.
I agree with your first statement about not interfering with the private company's choice. But, I disagree about wasting people's time. I would bet that many people, especially conservatives that only vote Republican because that's what they think conservatives are supposed to do, would be surprised and possibly learn that there are other options besides the Republicans. In some ways, that's what the Tea Party was all about, unfortunately it had no real leadership.
You are abosultely correct. You should starve if you refuse to feed yourself. You should also die if you jumped off a 10 story bulding. You should also bleed if you stabbed yourself with a fork.
According to the the constitution of the country that this presidential candidate is vying for, citizens are not entitled for food, therefore this candidate you speak of is following that constitution he is campaigning to protect and uphold. I think some other entitlements, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are specifically stated. Here are some entitlements that are missing from that document: food, shelter, medical insurance, and cell phones. If enough people think those should be a right, then the constitution needs to be changed. Otherwise, leave those things out of the federal governments hands and leave it up to the states and the people.
The answers I ask when hiring a system admin are typically not OS or vendor specific. I'd rather have someone intelligent and clever, who can then pick up any technology thrown at them. This philosophy has worked incredibly well. But, if you want someone that has memorized the MCSE tests, then ask the Windows-specific questions. But when it comes to troubleshooting or real-world environments, you have no guarantees.
Some families are larger than others and need a vehicle that can hold several people. Busses exists. Tractor-trailers exists. Some people need larger vehicles to haul boats and toys, haul work equipment, haul [insert large object here]. You will always have large and small vehicles on the road. It's a fact that most of the increase in fuel economy over the last few yeas is attributed to smaller and lighter cars, thinner sheet metal, plastic parts, etc. Hybrids, electricity, the air-powered cars in India, and other mileage-increasing technologies typically just move the carbon-generating from the vehicle itself to somewhere miles away.
I would tell them to stick to Windows 7, and they would agree. Just like I told them to stick with XP instead of Vista, and they agreed. If history repeats, Windows 9 will be the next version for businesses.
Vista failed, regardless of how many licenses MS sold, because they were downgradeable to XP. If MS does not have downgradeable licenses with Win 8, then it will be very interesting to see what happens.
Because it takes away choices. If I wanted to start up to Metro, or if a business wanted to start with Metro, they should have that option. But, if I wanted to start with a desktop and start menu, then I should have that option, too. Using your own example, prior to Windows 8 you can change the shell to a command prompt if you wanted to, or you could use the new and improved desktop and start menu. But now, Microsoft doesn't give you that choice.
Your're missing the point. The bank has more customers and is holding more of their customers money. Regardless of how more or less secure it is, the bank's decision is working. If it required a PIN and a fingerprint, the bank may have lost customers, but I could be wrong, don't know, market research may have already figured it out.
Killing the Start Button...

Killing the Start Button is like building a house without a front door. Sure, I use the garage door 99% of the time. According to Microsoft, this is reason to get rid of the front door.
I'm not sure of the temperature in Hell that day, but I believe it was pretty mild in the OC when the eMachines CEO did the same thing in 2004 with his $72 million. http://www.johnhui.com/newsocregister.html
Interesting, though, that the CEO, John Hui, was also Chinese
So all the subway users in New York are house cleaners and students? Wrong. The reason why only poor people use it in other cities is because most public transportation was built around cities that were not designed for it, therefore driving your own car is more efficient, and therefore poor people that don't have cars obviously have to use it. Building public transportation in large spread out city after the fact is a complete waste of money, doesn't matter what kind; e.g. bus, rail, subway, or these new "tubes" - they just won't work in the suburbs.
So you learned the 80/20 rule and you happen to be in the minority. Your questions are all irrelevant. Word of advice - if you want to stay employed, stop showing off, because your bosses will probably be in the 80%.
Does anyone know how the app approval process works exactly? Is there 1 person or a team responsible for every app submitted? Do they only look at the inputs/outputs and overall UI, or do they look at every line of code? For example, what if I write a game that does something malicious on level 39, beyond what the Apple inspectors will likely reach in playing the game during the review process? And what if Level 39 is not anything malicious on the network, contact, sms, phone level, but just displays something that may be considered malicious or against Apple policy, e.g. pornographic images? Just seems to me that there has got be ways to get past their inspection process if you know what it is, or even by guessing.

10 years is a ridiculous amount of time to be in prison for something like this. Child molesters and murderers get less time.

The voters have NOT indicated they're willing to trade those away for a sense of security
Yet the voters will vote these people back in over and over again

No, it is not a full blown OS. Windows 8 RT by definition is not a full-blown OS. That's the point of waiting for the x86 version

I guess "Original, in French" should have warned me
1. Never
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No
5. Not any profitable ones.

So why shouldn't they do this?
