You're underestimating how out-of-this-worldly easy to use the iPhone was for the common population. The iPhone was a smartphone that just fucking worked (as cliched as it sounds). iOS 1.0 didn't even include an app store. It was that browsing the web with Safari was almost as comfortable as doing it on a PC, excepting the obvious differences in form factors.
Windows Mobile 6.5 was DOS-like in comparison. Obviously designed for an era other than of readily available processing power.
Both the 650 Ti and the 950 are built on a 28nm process. Sure, that's not the only parameter that matters but I don't think it's a reasonable upgrade path at all. If you need more performance you should probably go for something bigger, or better yet, wait until 14/16nm becomes a reality for GPUs.
I really can't explain this properly because I can't show you the symbols, but I'm sick of seeing the Chinese variant of the first kanji in "chokusetsu" whenever I type an email in Japanese. Of all the huge corpus of Chinese ideograms, the ones with different stroke order should've been separately encoded. It's really weird behavior and to me it's a bad enough oversight.
These problems are intrinsic to the languages; they are not problems with Unicode. The real solution is political and cultural: if using strings across languages is a frequent use case, that use case can only be addressed by harmonizing the writing systems themselves and adapting real-world usage; it's not something that the encoding can solve.
I don't follow what you are trying to say. Are you saying the Japs and the Chinks should unify their writing systems? Because that's as disrespectful as the demonyms I have just used.
Microsoft spent 20 years teaching people how to use their UI then just throws that all out for no reason at all.
There is a reason: apps for the new paradigm (Metro?) have to go through their app store and they get a cut for each app sold there. As always, it all comes down to money.
OK, I'm an Argie and I don't like this government. But that link you posted couldn't be any more biased. Why should I trust them? Under that same domain you have this article: http://www.heritage.org/events...
I can't and I won't ever trust a website that claims "they [the U.S. and Israel] must remain steadfast allies if they are to overcome the serious challenges threatening both nations in today’s world." This is an 'us vs. them' kind of bias. They can shove their economic freedom index up their ass as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, because it's obvious people in a company will only work with people in the same company. No e-mail will reach people outside the organization, right?. Why don't you think a little bit before posting? Is your company willing to train every single guy who needs to use a document?
It's all right, I don't care about the opinions of fanbois. Link me to some benchmark showing a significant (more than 20%) difference on Windows vs. Linux for the exact same workload and I might believe you. Otherwise you're just pulling out your Windows 98 era knowledge, which I don't care about.
Are you seriously claiming you can't spare 1 or 2 GB of your computer for the OS on a 32 GB of RAM computer?
Audio editors are much better on Windows or Mac OS. Where the fuck are you getting your information from? Small business owners use Microsoft Office. Are you Linux fanboy?
I'd rather pirate Windows 7 and get (almost) anything the way I want it. 3 minutes of tweaking (Always show file extensions, taskbar like previous versions, disable sticky keys, etc.) and it's just what I need and want.
or consume to many resources
Why, why is this still and issue? Are you using a Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM? Otherwise I can't comprehend how on earth you would claim any OS to be "resource intensive." There's no such thing in 2015. Every OS works fine with decent hardware, and if you use computers for a living I can't believe you're not able to buy 8GB of RAM.
Anyway, I'm not telling you how to use your computer or anything. Whatever rows your boat.

Currently the world is focused on more demographics than monolingual English speakers.

For how many years have you studied acupuncture?
Why do you proud yourself in becoming more and more shit each passing day?
This is why SJWs are the cancer killing this industry.
You are not aware iOS is a major OS?

put in one that is good at running the country.
Yeah, uhm, that's very difficult to accomplish, to say the least.
Maybe their server business is subsidizing their consumer departments. I'd like to see HP dead within this decade.
What should we choose then?
Source? I'm interested in this.
No, we can't. That ship has sailed.
You mean your Jeef collection stored in Sequel on a Scuzzy drive?
Your problem was that you didn't smoke pot at your workplace.
You got it wrong, it will present that as "malware.jpg"
SSD's firmware get many necessary updates.

Mod parent down, never worked with non-techy people.

Most of that stuff is getting done on the GPU nowadays. Except on Xfce, of course.
