He's done something in the past that has made him a fuckton of money. Good on him, I'd love to be in that position. But in his later years he doesn't seem to have anything to do other pass the time silly stuff like this. If he at least pushes carts at Wal-mart it might help.
Not sure I'd want to help someone leverage their desktop monopoly to kill off even more third party developers nor do I really trust someone who gets security wrong more often than they should.
HTML5 is quite good when someone implements it properly. Not everyone wants Google sticking their nose in everything they do. This is a good alternative.
Yet they still do shit like this and file BS patents. From what it sounds like they're claiming in the patent, just about everything from Trillian onwards has done this so there's prior art. Then there is that anonymity patent.
These people complain about things like how save icons look like floppies but offer no good solution. They just want people to think they should have to design something completely new for every little change because, funnily enough, that means work for them.
And I also wouldn't take advice from someone whose site isn't exactly nice to look at.
You obviously didn't read the article. What his complaints are apply to all operating systems but Apple was picked out to draw attention to his stupid blog. But don't let me stop the circle jerk.
I remember during the 32 & 64 bit era a lot of people would mention console performance vs X-rays. Big deal, it's old hardware. Of course new stuff is more lots of power in a much smaller bit of kit.
Exactly. The power consumption, lack of heat and lack of moving parts are the big sellers. The performance boost is just a nice bonus. I just simply refuse to buy a laptop that doesn't have an SSD and I replaced my perfectly fine Thinkpad R60's HD with a 256gb SSD. It's better than when it was brand new.
Yeah but while it's a decent phone so was the iphone 4s. Where as most Android phones are complete shit so you'll get more people jumping onto something that looks good.
Google believes in freedom of speech unless there's a slight hint of it having an effect on their profits. So basically freedom of speech only has PR value to them. So that makes them just like any other corporation. No real surprise there.
The need to upgrade computers is almost non-existent if you didn't buy the cheapest, lowest spec'ed machine. Mobiles and tablets have the benefit of contracts and or lower specs that mean people will upgrade them more often. But the fact is as well most people are not geeks and they don't really care about the hardware. They care about the tasks. They want something that works like a VCR and not something they can hack and tweak.
Everyone uses computing devices of some sort now so it only makes sense most hardware goes towards devices that the average person prefers which would be a self contained easy to use device.
Bad move, imo. Sounds like they want all the open source karma but don't want someone taking that and making something better. If Android is so good they should welcome the competition rather than killing it.

And they wonder why they're poor. Hopefully they'll be out of the EU soon.

So in other words the humourless babies cried a lot and the admins decided to shut them up.
works for me

It has security holes and attracts malware. iOS only really has security holes.
And guess what, you're not the average android owner. So the little story you typed out doesn't really mean anything. it was a waste of time.
iOS6 being hacked doesn't change that NFC is a busted technology.

It'll be a rough start and I don't blame them for being upset but it's far better than everyone becoming reliant on Google.
The earlier stuff doesn't matter since he's asking if it works on Win 7.
True but he asked if it includes Win 7 so I'm just saying win 9 isn't an XP thing.
Ie 9 isn't on XP.
You sound like a 40 year old virgin.
