It's amusing seeing people do this. Somehow they think their opinion is more informed than someone who has dedicated a life to astronomy and the science behind it.
Maybe they should meet some astronomers and give their opinions... then they will learn why their opinions are incorrect and ill-informed.
Your points make no sense and actually don't stand up at all to any testing. As has been stated, basic search for "intel drivers", sans the quotes, gives... intel drivers. It all stinks of a shill post as you're somehow claiming MS has never violated people's privacy, maybe use a better search engine and you'll find examples of them doing so.
Routers do come with a brightly coloured label on the bottom with the WPA key from some ISPs in Australia. The problem is that once you start putting devices like gaming consoles on your wireless network, well, people fiddle around with it because they don't want to have to enter the key with the difficult to type with device.
It's all about rep. If someone reputable says "this is a fake" you know it is, but if there's a random saying it's a fake, usually it's wrong. It does happen, but the other comments outweigh the fake ones.
Quite possibly, but you have to remember what the median is for their user base. These are people who don't understand computers and most of their information is coming from Facebook. There's no way you can get that many people to swap platforms.
This is a big problem MMOs have at the moment, getting users to abandon WoW for something new. It hasn't worked yet, we haven't seen millions shift from WoW to another game, I think Facebook is pretty safe at the moment.
NB: I do not have a Facebook account at all, it's been deleted.
Card - Short Term iPad - Medium Term NAS - Long Term Dropbox/DVD - Permanent
You should never use any sort of magnetic medium for permanent storage unless it's tapes in a disaster proof box. The whole idea of using memory cards/USB to store something you want to keep is laughable.
I have xbox, ps3, & set top box with HDDs & network access. Why would I want to put a PC on my TV? there isn't even room. The ps3 does almost everything I need (emulators being the big downside), I even have a keyboard with a built in trackpad for it. Works great browsing the web.
It really seems no different to how other industrialized countries work. Except we do it under the guise of "free market". I thought the whole idea of capitalism is to divide and conquer, modern colonialisation.
1) it's at odds with what the article states re: accessibility
2) you're attempting to explain away a half baked OS coming to market late.
I'd suspect you were an MS shill, but I'd suspect it's more a case of delusion. Creating parity a year after release when they've had so much time to work on an OS and working out later any accessibility features is a bit lame for the largest software company in the world.
You're talking total bullshit. Some of the most innovative games are the best sellers.
The reason APB failed is because it was buggy, easy to exploit and the devs refused to fix the problems when they were brought up in beta.
It was far from a "cookie cutter", the concept wasn't bad, just poorly implemented. I doubt you've even played APB (I was involved in the beta, but refused to buy it due to bugs not being fixed), so calling it a "cookie cutter game" is just a cop out.
I've had the same thing happen on a Malaysia Airlines flight. Most of the in-flight entertainment seems to just be thin clients these days. If the system dies it just reboots.
Mine restarted and was fine for the rest of the flight.
Considering the article estimates the bing bang to have happend around 13.7 billion years ago, I don't see how red dwarves can exist for over 100 billion years.
That's a problem with infrastructure investment, not with the jailbroken iPhones. Your argument is flawed because you are explaining away a lack of infrastructure.
Sending a server into a tailspin has nothing to do with this. The standards are set by 3GPP, if the network can't deliver service while adhering to the standard it's not the customers' problem, it's the providers' problem.
While EDGE is counted under the 3G banner, it's really not 3G at all.
EDGE is upgraded 2.5G (GSM/GPRS), speeds are not even close to basic HSPA.
There's a theoretical max of 473.6kbps for EDGE, 14mbps with HSPA. So the "traffic spikes" claimed by T-Mobile are laughable. If you're network can't handle 1/28th of it's capacity then there's something seriously wrong with it.
This is the problem, none of the $100 plastic Android tabs even come close to the iPad as far as specs or quality.
Why waste $100 on something that has an outdated OS, is underspecced, and is made of the cheapest components you can get. Half of them use resistive touchscreens, which are horrible.
I really wanted there to be a contender to the iPad, but there isn't. The Galaxy Tab is turning out to be a huge joke, the specs are horrid and the price even more inflated than the iPad.
Go price a cell and then go price a few hundred metres of fibre and a fibre exchange card.
Not only will the cells need fibre to each of them and the card, but the cable will need to be hauled down every street anyway. All you're saving is the cost of a fibre lead in and a fibre splitter for every 32 houses, to spend much more on cells.
There's also stories of high tech IT companies waiting with baited breath for the NBN to be rolled out so they can move manufacturing, datacentres, DR sites, etc, out of the big cities. This is a major chance for Australia to revitalise the bush, but the opposition feels that sabotaging the first major public infrastructure project in decades is a smart idea. Their alternative is wireless. No business worth anything would rely on wireless for high speed data, mainly because of the limitations and security concerns with wireless.
Add to this that the estimate of how many towers would be required is insanely higher than there currently is (some estimates put it at 1 tower per street).

Pretty much no shit.
As soon as non-geeks get their hands on geek culture it leaves a horrible taste in the mouth.
As Chris Griffin said:
It tastes like a monkey... a monkey that's past it's prime!
How much is the salary for a Microsoft shill?
Your points make no sense and actually don't stand up at all to any testing. As has been stated, basic search for "intel drivers", sans the quotes, gives... intel drivers.

Why are you posting on slashdot if you're not a nerd?

Pretty much when I deleted mine. It doesn't exist at all. No doubt they still have the metrics they collected.

I usually run the combo of:
Card - Short Term
iPad - Medium Term
NAS - Long Term
Dropbox/DVD - Permanent

Damn those details, I was about to put my tin foil hat on!
You haven't worked in IT then...
I have xbox, ps3, & set top box with HDDs & network access. Why would I want to put a PC on my TV? there isn't even room. The ps3 does almost everything I need (emulators being the big downside), I even have a keyboard with a built in trackpad for it. Works great browsing the web.

I see two things wrong with what you're saying.
1) it's at odds with what the article states re: accessibility
2) you're attempting to explain away a half baked OS coming to market late.
I'd suspect you were an MS shill, but I'd suspect it's more a case of delusion. Creating parity a year after release when they've had so much time to work on an OS and working out later any accessibility features is a bit lame for the largest software company in the world.
It's comments like this that betray those who know and those who don't. I recommend reading some books on the subject then revising your comment.
Generally you're not paying anything for the call, and you're covering your tracks.
Hard to catch and free.

Funny, Opera is already distributed via the App Store... for free.
