Everyone should have the option to vote but you should have to pass a test before you can use it.
Just look how close we were to seeing Hillary being president and we're not out of the woods yet. Sarah Palin might get in there and start spitting out stupid laws as well as stupid babies.
OO has a Windows option to preload some bits. The difference is it mentions this and asks you if you want to do it where as MS Office just shoves some bit into your startup folder.
I had a neighbour whose 4, 5 and 8 year old could easily use DOS. Yet so many adults can't use the command prompt and apparently the use of CLI is holding back Linux.
In the case of learning new things it's not always wise to compare an adult to a child whose mind is actually much more capable of learning new things. Children find it much easier to learn two languages where as adults can struggle at it.
I've not had a problem with Win 2007 other than I find it ugly and don't care to pay for it while I'm phasing out Windows on my home PCs.
Because you don't look like a dork with a Mac on your desk compared to something that is a beige box or resembles some sort of redneck monster truck.
PC companies have got better at design but they're still lacking and they were completely awful in the past. Graphics cards are just as bad. The average consumer isn't all that keen on buying products that feature scantily clad CG women in leather and have names that you'd expect to find on some redneck monster truck.
Apple created something that looks fashionable, seemed more mature and appeared to worked better. The fact it wasn't primarily a gaming platform worked in their favour.
The fact is most people look for different things in computers and they rather pay a bit more for something that looks nice.
Yes people are still buying them but at the rate they're going I think people will view them as a scam.
For instance a Lenovo IdeaPad U350 can be had for £390 and a Lenovo 3000 G550 for £455.
The latter is only $65 more and you get a DVD drive, larger screen, faster processor (and dual core) and it'll be easier to type on. The netbook loses any energy or portability advantage by removing the SSD. It won't take that much longer until people realise they're better off with a low-end laptop which is effectively what the netbook is becoming and arguably the netbook ceases to exist at that point.
I would normally agree about the WinTel margin protection but from what I can tell MS made some really nice deals to kill off Linux on the netbook.
Websites don't run on fairy dust and quite frankly I rather click a few interesting ads on my favourite sites than pay for them.
I'd rather not see the internet become cable TV.
The whole idea of this product is that you'll be doing things online most of the time if not all the time so yes ads will play a large part of the system's life even if it doesn't show ads when it's offline.
Just by a normal non-subsidised netbook and deal with the same adverts on the same websites anyway.
He saved Apple upon his return in the late 90's by having them put out things like like the iMac and turned Apple into a company that was just as much about style as computing.
I don't really care for iTunes or the iPod but it is the walkman of this era. My Android is my portable music device.
It's not always about doing things first but being the first to do them well. A lot of portable music devices are rubbish but some of the early devices from companies like Creative, while superior in the format support, were ugly and not very user friendly and unfortunately the consumer feels they never have to learn anything (thanks in part to MS) so your device has to be simple and easy to use for your average idiot and the iPod did that more than any other.
While more Americans have no iPod compared to those that do, most Americans have iPods than any other portable music device and virtually everyone knows what an iPod is as opposed to an iRiver. Plus companies are copying the iPod and iPhone's designs, not anyone else's so yeah seeing how Apple are more or less set the standard for portable listening devices, I think it is possible to say they've changed how we listen to music.
I think you'll find there are more old people online than you might assume. Places such as the BBC's "Have your say" is loaded full of moronic old geezers.
I think it just proves people don't think past their nose. This is apparent by most people's views on pollution and we repeat history so frequently.
9/11, imo, wasn't that big of a deal. What was a big deal is how the white house took away so many freedoms in the name of fight terror.
More people die on a daily basis in the US and in Sudan there's civil war and genocide going on and most people don't seem to care. Just looking at the US alone the genocide and near extinction of the Indians is by far a bigger travesty than 9/11. If all human lives have the same value then 9/11 certainly isn't the worst thing to happen.
So that being said, a company that truly kicked off the smartphone revolution amongst the common people which will have a long lasting effect is a bigger deal.
The question is whether it will be bigger than the government's theft of our rights. That will depend on how long people are will to sit by and be fucked in the ass by the awful two party system.
The Gates/Seinfeld ads are probably the best ones they've done, imo. How is it hard not to be better than the SongSmith ads, Win 7 party ads, or the homosexually themed walking penis ad? I think even t hose "I'm a PC" ads were a bit dumb.
Even if you somehow never heard of http://www.stormfront.org/ the mere fact the guy is implying the guest worker site is racist and his link sounds military-like, there's a good chance it's a place for nazi dickheads so it's probably best not to click on it at work.
Without a guarantee that haven't been producing anything decent in ages. Why can't we just let them die off and where does it say that anyone in the music industry deserves to be a millionaire especially those who don't create music?
The ideal solution is that all artists are independents and they earn what people are willing to give them. On a level playing field anyone with talent will rise to the top and become rich and hopefully all these fake artists will die off.

Those people aren't necessarily the problem. The problem is the people who think they have researched things well by watching Fox News and Glenn Beck.
Some who doesn't care could probably be swayed either way with a good argument. Where as the brainwashed won't change their mind no matter what.
Everyone should have the option to vote but you should have to pass a test before you can use it.

Good luck when Sarah Palin is elected and turns the US in the next Somalia.
I'll go with the second option. No one in my family needs to see my gigantic collection of women "riding" horses.
As Ben Franklin said, those who give up their rights for convenience deserve neither, or something...
The exact saying is:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Ben Franklin loved convenience. Hell, the lazy bastard used a kite to get his key up in the air rather than climbing up himself.
That's about standard for an unlocked new phone. What were you expecting?
I'm waiting to see what if there will be an SDK and what kind of access users will have to the phone. Hopefully it will be wide open.
You started off well but then you went here and jumped on the fail boat.
It will be the Android OS/SDK and already has loads of apps out as Android has been out awhile.
They don't need to. Herbal health people are like religious extremists, any sort of logic won't get absorbed by their brain.
Exercise will have the same effect on you and improve your health.

It might be best to do you job rather than playing on the internet if you're not aware of a major racist website like http://www.stormfront.org./
That is true but it still reads like it was written by a special needs child.

He's already ahead of you. It appears there are Foundem rants on the NY Times and the the Guardian. Watch for it to pop up else where.
