There have been numerous complaints that the UK gov doesn't know anything about IT, they overspend and end up with rubbish. Of course MS would be very helpful to them. I would not surprise me if MS is milking them for an obscene amount of money.
Funny how it seems no project ever gets it right when they change their interface. the complaints aren't exclusive to Firefox which says to me that people who claim to be tech ninjas might not be as good as they think with computers if all they go on to operate the thing is pure memorisation of the location of things.
So let's say it looks more like Chrome and that makes it worse. So the solution is to move to chrome? That makes no sense.
The biggest thing it did that might make it looks like Chrome is making it's tabs look more like folder tabs which is hardly exclusive to Chrome and it's minimised the space above the tabs. Boo hoo, it still has far superior extension support, superior handling of badly formed HTML, fails less frequently on shoddy JS and uses less system resources. Chrome has always used more resources but the google way of doing it was to make things feel more smooth so you don't realise it's pigging up more resource than IE or Firefox. Unfortunately for them everyone else is catching up on that idea and they're more efficient to begin with.
I don't mind their minimising either because unlike Chrome they don't enforce their minimalist design on you. It's still far more flexible and it doesn't do dumb things like force minimalism then put a big ugly download progress bar at the bottom of the window. So all in all it's still the superior product.
It doesn't really look like Chrome aside from having slightly more rounded tab corners but if that is too similar for you and you want the added benefit of Chrome showing that dumb sad faced folder far too often because it chooses not to run your javascript and the shoddy performance in general with the added spying then go for it.
It still puzzles me how people who claim to be more technically minded hate change more than my computer illiterate grandmother. If it confuses you then computers might not be your thing.
yeah I'm sure having a film about yourself will gain you comfort when you have to live in hiding in a country that is unlike your 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice of places to live in for the rest of your life.
I'm sure he;ll be in the history books and that too might be a nice to have but he's still living in hiding and that will make life shit so I'd still say that's gaining nothing.
Does the US seriously expect to be taken seriously after they've been busted for helping with industrial espionage and then the whole NSA / Snowden ordeal? I'd say everyone has the US to fear, no one else.
Netflix is fun for the first month but then you've watched everything good and then it's just not worth it. I'll be cancelling my subscription because I think I only used once this month and that was out of utter boredom.
No really aims their mobile camera directly at someone. It'd be awkward holding it that high and using it for starters and it's generally considered rude because the person doesn't know if you're recording them or not and generally sticking anything in someone's face is rude.
I think a lot of people forget Google is still primarily an advertising company (from a profit point of view) and everything they're doing is largely to protect and build that income. Sure they can't give you the facility to record everyone 24 hours a day but if they could they likely would. Their main interest in Glass and the whole wearables thing is to basically tag and monitor you like an animal to help improve their advertising. That should be enough to at least raise some concern but as part of monitoring your all day means monitoring your friends under certain circumstances and unless they're cool with that then it is understand if it annoys them.
Don't steal from other countries then if you don't want it disclosed. While you might not ave any problem with your government helping conduct industrial espionage it shouldn't be done.
How are H1-B visas going to have any effect on the uppoer tier of society? It will just continue the death of the middle class and we'll be left with a society where you either live like a king or in poverty. I'm sure that's what he wants but I can't believe no one wouldn't be able to see through his stupidity.
As we put more online we need to adjust laws to properly punish companies otherwise they'll continue not to care. Fine them something like 50% of their revenue (not profit) for the year of the incident and then they'll start to care.
Maybe English isn't your first language but innovation != invention.
And yeah, you're right. Apple was last to the party on Firewire, thunderbolt, retina displays. While Apple has been packaging the same beige / black boxes, all the real push forward has been on wintel machines.
You can't give your education back. Where as if I can't pay for my home they can take it away from me. Given that a degree is unnecessary for most jobs anyway, I don't see why you should be able to claim bankruptcy to dump your education debt while getting to keep your degree. Seems like it would make more sense to quit telling kids they must get a university education.
You probably don't have much going on I your life. However those of us that deal with lawyers and governments still post the odd letter every now and again.
Except Google is selectively picking areas based on maximising profits rather than providing universal access so it's the same problem. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jo...
Comcast wants to selectively serve areas and be the pipe + content provider. Google wants to selectively serve areas and is a pipe + content provider. Sorry but tell me again where the improvement is?
The problem is broadband in the US is bad enough that too many people are willing to accept one bad deal to avoid another.
Except many programmers don't do just 8 hours and even if they did, I'm not sure you can imply that's healthy. I don't think anyone ever thought it was healthy and it's a reason women who had life long jobs in factories often had nasty legs. Even if you weren't coding it's impossible to be moving about all evening so even combing a few hours of sitting at home with sitting all day and, if you drive then you've easily spent the bulk of the day on your ass even if you're active most of the evening.

I assume apple patented security because Google goes out of it way to implement it on android.

Everything is ok if Google does it, right?

Come on skin flints, there's no reason to be on XP anymore. Accept it and move on.

Some people find it hard to accept their own government is an awful entity and they are the sole reason the government gets away all the shit it does.
Don't steal from other countries then if you don't want it disclosed. While you might not ave any problem with your government helping conduct industrial espionage it shouldn't be done.
In some cases but I suspect many to be in the government's good books for when they apply for contracts.

They brought it on themselves. So perhaps people should vote for a better government.
As we put more online we need to adjust laws to properly punish companies otherwise they'll continue not to care. Fine them something like 50% of their revenue (not profit) for the year of the incident and then they'll start to care.
Everything he said helps his company and does nothing for the poor people.
Plug it into my Linux desktop and drag files on it isn't exactly hard.

The UK gov only supporting ODF would quickly fix that.
