I have Vista, and have been using it for a year or two now. I had issues early on, but discovered that it wasn't Vista but a bad RAM stick that was giving me grief. I really have no qualms about the operating system. Personally I think Apple is the one to blame about the public perception of Vista. Microsoft's marketing has focused on their own product and tried to keep the mud slinging to a minimum while Apple decide to directly speak to Microsoft and bash them during their marketing campaign. I guess we can see what the public responds to better. No wonder politicians campaign the way they do.
I hate to knock on wood but I have to wonder if Apple will stick the course with Windows 7 as well.
Why are people texting while driving in the first place? You have a phone, dial your friends number and talk to them. It isn't that hard.
Also, couldn't there be some sort of voice recognition software created to solve this problem if people still want to text while driving?
Perhaps we can just use the system from a Star Trek episode where we fight our wars using computer simulation. When a virtual job hits your city, you have to report to the death chamber. The war continues but society lives on!
Facebook have a very extensive privacy control area of the site where you can lock your profile down however you want. You can even completely block every user on Facebook from viewing your profile (thus making it pointless to be on the site)
Another level of privacy is what you publicly offer up from your profile. You can make you entire profile open to the public or hide everything (including who your friends are). HR types love the dumb people who don't lock their profile down.
Probably the best setting to use is to only allow friends to view your profile, friends list, profile picture etc.
I didn't RTFA, but who does? Anyway when I saw the description it instantly reminded me of those ads that pretend to popup a textbox stating that you have a virus.
"associating a piece of data with multiple categories" Seriously could that be anymore vague? Perhaps they should sue the W3C for creating the SELECT > OPTION dropdown box in HTML while they're at it.
Safari also caved to the tabs on top layout. While the extra screen real estate is nice, I'd still rather have the title bar for the same reasons you pointed out.
Opera still doesn't support border-radius or box-shadow, probably the two most important properties that make web designers life's easier. Safari (or really Webkit) seems to be doing all the innovating lately when it comes to CSS3 features with Firefox and Opera battling it out for 2nd place. Either way, as a developer I still prefer to use Firefox with all its useful developer tools and addons.
Its unlikely that Microsoft even shot the photo to begin with. The majority of Marketing departments just go to iStockphoto and buy something off of there.
Being a PC gamer of many years, I wouldn't complain about PC gamers having the advantage. It seems that gaming companies are giving up on the PC as a gaming platform and releasing buggy games to us now as an afterthought. So while we may be able to get DLC, your game at least works when you put the disk in the drive.
My personal website has been dying a slow death, not because of the fancy graphics I use on it but because I'm stuck on shared hosting with 100+ other websites (1and1). That alone can make the difference. To download 100K to 300K isn't a big deal now days.
Also, for instance try tallying up all of Facebook's JS, CS + HTML files, and you'll discover the site clocks in over 1MB. Now consider how fast the pages on the site load (super fast) See the difference how your site is hosted can make?
IE does not support the W3C spec for embedding fonts. Like everything else in IE land (see IE Javascript Filters) they have their own proprietary method of embedding fonts.
Probably more offensive is that a glitch happened at all, large or small. It could have just as easily been $2.31 in which case he may have not noticed the overcharge and paid it. Charge several thousand people $2.31 too much and you can make an alright profit.
Is it just me or does this sentence not make sense - "Then one day in January someone was finally figured out what was wrong with Jessica. That person was her."

Instead of calling your friends 'friends' you call them 'nodes'.

Would IE still be installed on the laptops along side Chrome? If so, this really doesn't matter.

I've always wondered what CEOs 'actually' do all day. Now you've explained it for me.
"reads/edits/writes a lot of documents"
I just burned all those songs to a CD and then ripped them back to my computer. See ya DRM.

Could always use a version of Linux, even one that runs off a CD so you don't leave any traces on your computer.
Great South Park reference. If I had any points I'd throw them your way.

Online 29 years ago? Did you meet your wife the same place the Al Gore and Tim Berners Lee did?
And it's unlikely anyone is going to want to marry her and inherit her 2 million dollars of debt so she'll most likely be paying that off on her own.
Yeah.....I don't think I'll be clicking that link, and I wouldn't recommend others do either.
This sounds a bit like that Seinfeld episode where Krammer gets spit on and it miraculously turns around in mid air hitting Newmen as well.
Is it just me or does this sentence not make sense - "Then one day in January someone was finally figured out what was wrong with Jessica. That person was her."
"Someone set us up the bomb"
"We Get Signal"
"Hello Gentleman, All Your Base Are Belong To Us"
