I could have guess this would some how involve people who make unimaginative games. It makes sense it's Epic given their status of king of the poor story and space marine society. If they'd quit making the same old games then they wouldn't have to preach about games not being the same old game.
All the benefits of email are exactly why they refuse to support those things. Google isn't actually that good at releasing quality software despite all their "geniuses" so if they use a protocol that anyone else can compete on then they'll lose.
They could monetise people by charging modest fees rather than being the US government's little bitch and expect everyone to give up all their privacy in return for something.
That might have been true due to the rarity but I expect that is actually Microsoft FUD. Job listings in the UK show that Linux sys admins aren't getting £60k over some Windows guy getting £30k. They're getting £30k too.
It does affect you. Unless you live in a country with zero socialised programs the dead weight in your country will eventually affect you. The people with the least and the most money aren't paying enough taxes so unless you're in one of those categories you're going to have to pick up the slack or convince people to vote more sensibly.
That and I'm not against Indian developers coming to the US. In fact if we had free flow then more of them could come and more importantly maybe the dead weight born in the US would go somewhere else. But a side effect to that is most workers would move more and yes employers would have to find a way to keep people which probably would be better wages. I can't see how anyone would think that's a worse idea than what is effective indentured servitude.
Why would it stay that way? The cost of software is being pushed down too. I think it's against people's benefit to simply demand cheap goods while at the same time not thinking through that their bosses have increasingly been earning more than them. Director's wages certainly aren't being pushed down so again it's the common person that's getting it up the butt.
It's always better for people to have more options for employment too. No one is going to go overseas for a factory job anyway but why should the India developers or American ones be able to go to the best paid job rather than the one that just happens to let them in the country?
Globalisation is something we don't all get to benefit from. It about letting immigrants, generally from poor countries, come to a western country and probably working for poor wages. He'll be ok with that because we have clear water and hide our poverty away better, right?
But we still get web sites, films, games, etc divided up into regions. Why can't I take advantage of globalisation and buy games from anywhere? Why is it harder for an American to go to Hong Kong and take a job where he may be needed more?
Maybe if they'd push for the negotiation of free movement treaties and provide content on a global basis then people would be happier to support them. Instead, I can't help but feel all they really care about is driving down costs.
If globalisation is so great then why can't we have region free digital goods, websites, etc? I think people would be less butt hurt if globalisation was a one way street.
I don't think the skills they want are actually that highly skilled either. Some do but I suspect most don't. Facebook and Yahoo are both companies whose business is basically putting pretty skins on databases.
Dropbox is a storage medium not a data format. Unless you want to use text files which will kill any chance of formatting then that's an inferior solution and either requires setting up permissions for every new person or opening it up to the world.
You're right but if you don't trust them why should you trust the US government? They're all self serving and blowing money on unncessary things that make them look bad ass than helping their citizens.
Yeah people can tell themselves that all they want. Keep in mind these are people who claim no fault on agent orange or gulf war syndrome. Nor are they really any good with "surgical" strikes using smaller munitions. So I'm not buying the claim they'll only hit out in the middle of no where and it'll have no effect. Sorry but the US gov has a poor record on the truth.

I was a huge fan of notebook and you're right but that's the problem with notebook, I guess, in that google couldn't lock you into their OS.
Exactly. It doesn't really target OS X, it targets complete morons.
I'm pretty sure that's when this will get the axe.
It's also bloated and beyond help. But developers are too lazy and companies are too selfish to create a great alternative asap.
Fanboys like to think they're normal so they must assume everyone is an irrational doofus.

Please explain why it's garbage and causes you so much butt hurt.
I believe it went up on the news of him leaving so it was clearly the right move in some people's eyes.
Sorry bro, you need to pay for your stuff.

I think someone is crying into his android phone. Maybe if you root it and make it remotely useful that will make you better.
Chromebooks are just for decoration while you sit in the coffee shop anyway so it's no big deal.

Why because it works perfectly well without proprietary lock-in involving some web app that will die any day now?
The US is making things up and doing it themselves to scare people into letting them lock down the internet.
