let the bashing begin. I mean, it's MS and this is/. Hmmm... what could we bash them for this time.. Oh . I know... Nahhh... there is no Linuzz or Abble telescope...
Hmm... let me see... Oh, I know! ***IF**** Abble could make one it would be better. I mean, it would be shining white and **cool***.
Ohh...or better, let's bashing them by not making it OS!
Whilst what you said is not quite "the biggest load of jibber jabber since time cube", I, for one still have No Fucking Idea What You Are On About
Rumour has it that after the Vista debacle, MS is going to rename itself to MyCrowSoft and their next OS will be far more powerful than any other ever released. Fully optimised for mobile applications, it will ship in an innovative new format with a shock proof coating of black feathers...
Apologies for the urls, formatting etc. but I'm not used to this yet.
Once upon a time I used to think Sony products were premium quality. I'll outline my experiences over the last few years...
I've owned several Sony Clie PDAs - all useful in their own way, but quite honestly, quirky and tied to that awful sony memory stick. Don't even go there when it comes to getting second tier support when things don't run as smoothly as they ought.
Minidisc player. This was actually ok, however, I really should have got an ipod instead. What ruined the experience was that excuse for a music library that Sony foist upon you. Sonic Stage I think it was called - I do try to forget, however.
Sony Vaio Laptop. For this one, I save the real venom. Bought for about £800 ($1600) 18 months later it failed completely. Furthermore the shop I bought it from had disappeared. Being 'competent' enough to open it up and take a look, I did so, unwilling to pay Sony to do the same before returning it as unrepairable. Now admittedly, this isn't Sony's fault - at least not directly - but someone had already been inside this thing as all the grounding foil had been torn.
At least if you're going to release reworked products, make sure they are marked up as such; for the record, when I registered the serial # with Sony, the records suggested that it was a brand new machine.
After that disaster, I vowed never to buy Sony again - and for the last three years, I haven't. I had thought about getting a PS3 just to play with the Cell processor, but I'll wait and see what else comes along. This is a fairly unique machine (in the respect that it openly runs linux) so I might actually swallow my pride here.
Once upon a time they may have had a technological edge in the consumer goods market, but in the same vein that Ford and GM (at least in Europe) are catching up in technology terms with the quality German automakers, modern electronics technology largely makes significant improvements hard to achieve, to the extent that for around half the money, the budget brands are almost as good as the best - at least as far as most people would notice.
Computers (of the personal variety) are and have been for a long time essentially commodity products. Sure, some may have fancy styling, but anything deviating too far from a discrete black box is usually an eyesore if you ask me (a personal opinion - if you like case modding - that's cool, I just don't see the point myself). Sony continues to think that it can command a premium price for computer equipment that if anything (especially in terms of compatibility and upgradeability) is actually inferior.
All said and done, I really do think that the Sonys of this world have had their day and unless they change strategy to deal with a different market, then they won't need to race to the bottom, they'll just sink to it.
I see the flamebait mafia is at it again. What is it today? A lobotomite's free for all? Someone mod the parent up - it isn't flamebait by any measure...
If 'begging' a question is a logical fallacy, surely 'raising' a question (levitation of an abstract concept - i.e. contextual dissonance) and 'calling to mind' (voices in your head perhaps?) are also logical fallacies. Or more likely symptoms of a schizoaffective disorder. You fruitcake.
These guys seem to be on the right track

Microsoft responds with its own 'Free Love' initiative. The highlight of the event will be a 'developers' conference, featuring Ballmer in an 'easy access' rear-zippered gimp suit.
Then the royalties I get every year will allow me to actually afford it for a change...
On a serious note, I can hardly believe that such obvious stuff actually gets awarded a patent; it must happen all the time - in all fields of creative endeavour.
That gives me another idea...
If I patent masturbation, will I get a tax rebate from the government?
Well, this comes as no real surprise; I think you can expect this sort of behaviour from any individual or group that has no tolerance for dissent or satire. Whilst we can pretty much say what we like in the west, don't forget that our ancestors had to fight 'the system' for that 'right'.
That the need was felt to block youtube by a sovereign government just shows how tenuous its hold on power is. As peurile as it is to say so, someone somewhere is going to label this as "EpicFail" - which it surely is.
Now even the previously disinterested have been dragged into the issue and the clips in question will undoubtedly reach a far, far wider audience than would otherwise have been the case.
Whilst Pakistan isn't yet a theocracy, this sort of behaviour (Acting 'as if') begs the question: For how much longer?
Given that they are a declared nuclear power, how do you all feel about that?

Aren't you really called El Lobotomite?
Firstly they act like a Vogon Constructor Fleet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogon_Constructor_Fleet and destroy all competition to their plans...
Second they try to take over the internet like Infinidim Enterprises http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mostly_Harmless#Infinidim_Enterprises took over the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Worse, Steve Ballmer starts performinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogon_poetry as can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMU0tzLwhbE
