Personally I never imagined integrating a PCI Express controller in a CPU. If this trend of intregation continues, what would be the next logical step?
You'd think that there'd be enough room in the marketplace for at more than one blood-sucking parasite*, but noooo - Microsoft has squash the competition. Thank heavens for Open Sores!
I am left-handed, and see no point whatsoever in using a "left-handed mouse". I can type faster with just my left hand than my right, and I get no speed or accuracy advantage from using my left hand for the mouse (quite the opposite.)
There are some serious ergonomic issues for lefties e.g. scissors - mice are not one of them.
I'd like it if Microsoft would just STFU and show me the goods, rather than keep telling me how great they'll be tomorrow.
Yes, they remind me of the Roman Empire before its fall - barbarians at the Gates etc.
The real question is, where the hell does Microsoft want to go today?
The Customs Office and it's IT outsourcing arrangements have previously been the subject of a senate enquiry, lets hope that they get nothing less again this time around and the people responsible are bought to account.
Let's hope that Senator Joyce crosses the floor again to vote for an inquiry, otherwise it'll be quickly gagged and buried now that the Coalition controls the House of Representatives and the Senate. (And hopefully it'll be a lesson to Australian voters that giving any government control of both Houses is a bad idea if you want accountability.)
The best defense against spam is never to type your personal address anywhere on the internet.
It's at least ten years too late for that for me, and I'll be damned if I'm going to give up my email address now just because of a few pesky spammers. Besides, the worst of the spam flood seems to be over. A year ago, I was getting hundreds of spam messages a day; now I might get ten, occasionally twenty a day. SpamAssassin + ClamAV identify the vast majority of those.
Do you really think it likely they would classify a rabbit as a "potentially dangerous" animal?
"That's no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on... that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide, it's
a killer!"
To paraphrase Bear Strangler McGee from Red Dwarf IV, anyone who reports bugs for an unauthorised Windows release is either mighty brave, or mighty stupid.
I agree that these "leaks" are deliberate (apparently Microsoft, like the ship of state, leaks from the top), but I don't see what they stand to gain other than perhaps feedback/PR from people who wouldn't touch an official beta release with a barge pole.
I agree. However, there are other systems in the aircraft that detect the low pressure, and THESE cause additional alerts, plus the oxygen systems to activate.
They're called ears. If the cabin pressure falls, your ears will start popping like crazy.

"Leaked."
I agree with your cynicism. The question is, is this latest incarnation of the Halloween document a trick or treat?

More "pins" - it's the new MHz.
Now, ask yourself, is that obvious? I think this patent is perfectly acceptable.
The patent maybe acceptable, but having read all of that would you actually drink this chemical brew? Me neither!

What are they putting in the water on the executive floor these days?
Greed, which is a bad mix for their existing psychopathic tendencies. They need a commonsense and ethics infusion, stat.
and allows the right hand to use the keypad or other control-type key clusters easily.
Like what - the arrow keys? Why not get a left-handed keyboard?

America's the underdog?!

Why not just patent the elements and be done with it? There's no intellectual property here, they are just (re)discovering prior art.
Looks like Photoshoposaurus.

IBM simply dropped it counting on the others to be more than eunuch to do SCO in.
Interesting Freudian slip.

Seamonkey fits the element-animal naming scheme:
Fire: Firefox
Air: Thunderbird
Water: Seamonkey
Earth: ??
YAWN - Yet Another Worm Name.
Both of them? Earth and Space...
It sounds from the article as if Gates is attempting to claim that Microsoft will embiggen users.
You misspelt "embugger".
The colour and shape remind me of another old heavy-lift vehicle: Thunderbird 2. Coincidence?
Penguins with mullets, what could be cooler?
Penguins with herrings?
10 seconds per page, perhaps, or per web object? Those figures are believable - but would make the plug-in unusable.
