No idea, but it's not unreasonable to assume all WP7 apps will work on WP8. After all, all SL2 apps are SL3 apps are SL4 apps are SL5 apps, and all XNA2 apps are XNA3 apps are XNA4 apps. Plus there's always the option of multi-targetting, which is common to all.NET runtimes.
I guess the only real difference will be if you wish to use a WP8-only feature, like the NFC-related additions.
Who said anything about UPS? I suggested a cheaper shipping option. That's got nothing to do with the courier. Super Saver delivery in the UK is handled by Royal Mail, but if you want it quicker, then you pay for a dedicated courier service like Parcelforce or TNT. I can't see why the same can't work in the US e.g. Super Saver delivery is handled by USPS, but if you want it quicker, then you pay for UPS or FedEx.
You evidently haven't experienced the woe and misery that is the almost non-existent US passenger rail network!
Quite true - I've only been to the US once, and never used a train. In fact, I don't even recall seeing a single rail line or station, but then I didn't go into the cities that much.
Who else would invent something designed to spread viruses, botnets and prn? Who else would create a monopoly service with no accountability? Who else would create something to keep me paying over and over again for the same software? Who else would create a communications network that is so unsecure that it took a decade to figure out how to safely use it for simple payment transactions (and even now isn't all that safe).
All of which happened after the Internet went commercial.
Undoing a mod here, but you evidently haven't experienced the woe and misery of the UK rail network, where private companies compete with each other to see who can get away with fleecing the most out of customers, while the network itself falls apart.
They asked politely for the design to be changed when it's reprinted. Would you rather JD took out an injunction banning all sales of the book until all the 'offending' copies had been destroyed?
Apart from guarding against potential misuse of their trademark design, that is.
The book may not technically be infringing, but it's close enough that JD had to do something. At least they had the decency to say 'We like what you did, but unfortunately we have to request you change it. We'll even help with the cost.', instead of the more usual 'Remove it last year of we'll sue for a kajillion dollars every second you don't comply!!!!1'.
Slashdot Mirror
Did you not read his footnote? The one where he admits that not all journalists can use English or do basic research?
BBC articles quite often have a little sidebar describing what the terms mean (often in an incredibly patronising way, but you can't have everything).
Remember they have to cater for all people, from the brainiest of Slashdotters to subhuman trash.
Of course, cheap postage is why postal services are losing money. It's got nothing to do with beaurocratic corruption at all.
Good luck with your crusade to make everyone pay exhorbitant shipping fees where regular mail will suffice.

Then select a cheaper shipping option.

'Blame Canada'
Only with 5000% more talent :P
But did he build it in a cave?
Fair enough, and in support of the point I was trying to make, which was the government didn't create the Internet to spread viruses et al.
Patenting anything that's already patented, but with the words 'using a touchscreen' appended, then suing anyone and everyone who tries to compete.
I've probably overstated it, but it's not far wrong.

if only slashdot had a joke plagiarism filter.
Why did the Anonymous Coward cross the road?
To troll the other side, of course! :) And I know this AC wasn't trolling ;)
Support from an Anonymous Coward - now I have seen everything ;)
If you can find the threat, real or implied, then please point it out to me. Hell, they even offered to help pay for the redesign!

That's probably because he's a member of the sub-species 'Homo sapiens pleasentus', rather than the parasitic 'Homo sapiens legalitus' aka lawyer.

3 petabytes per experiment per year. Also, experiment != collision.
God-Emperor Jobs
I just got an image of Jobs on a Golden Throne, being kept in a state of undeath by the sacrifice of 10,000 fanbios every day.
Damn you Games Workshop! :)
Then turn on 'Use small icons' et voila! All the benefits of the Win7 taskbar, in the same space as the XP taskbar.
Can you get them in a non-fucking version?
