What I like about the iPad:
* Surprisingly low price
* Runs iPhone OS apps
* Larger screen than iPhone/iPod touch
* Video out
* Bluetooth (e.g. can use bluetooth keyboard)
* iWork
* 3G and unlocked (no contract)
* Very slim form factor
* 1/2 the weight of MacBook Air
* 10 hour battery life and 1 month of standby
It isn't poor grammar if everyone does it. Languages are living beings. It is just proof that the academic institutions hasn't kept up with advances (changes) in the spoken language.
Flash is proprietary I'd like to see it fade into oblivion. Maybe the iPhone and iPad will be what it takes to get people considering HTML5 instead of Flash. YouTube now has an HTML5 beta, and some other streaming sites as well.
That's why I only play Role-play games, especially Japanese. I get +80hrs out of them on average, not including extra playthroughs for games that offer multiple endings and multiple paths.
Main source of income? Rambus source of income is licensing their memory technology. The Sony PS3 uses XDR RAM designed by Rambus. Hardly qualifies as a patent troll. They have every right to protect their IP.
People drilled Apple for not having feature x, y and z. Now after several OS updates and all the features added, people still drill Apple for not having them from day one!
Well yeah, but Nokia is on the decline. They haven't shown positive market share growth for a long time. Whereas their competition is growing fast, mostly at WinMo's expense. Put in mind Apple never wanted (or at least stated publicly) that its goal is to become the dominant smartphone maker. Android, on the other hand, has the capacity to overrun WinMo, Symbian and whatever smartphone platform that wont be tied to the hardware.
Rewriting Firefox from scratch would be a suicidal move by Mozilla. A simpler solution is fork Chromium and port XUL to run on top of WebKit and V8. This way they get good code to base their browser on, while maintaining ownership to the (newer) code. In the meantime they can continue Gecko 1.9 development and try to bring in more of WebKit and V8 into the codebase. In ways kinda like what happened with KHTML and WebKit.
I don't see Intel competing with ARM, ARM has an advantage over x86 in performance per watt, then again DEC, MIPS and many other RISC vendors didn't see Intel competing with them in the high-end workstation and server market. Hindsight is 20/20.
Why would that spur Adobe to make a 64-bit version? As much as people hate it around here, it would take a 64-bit version of IE being the default to really spur them. I look at our website statistics and over 80% of our hits are from some type of MSIE. This causes much gnashing of teeth, but...
You've got the right idea here. I wonder if Gnash went 64bit before Flash, would that help its adoption?

That's why it is GNU/Linux and not Linux you insensitive clod.
Consider it donation to Wine.
I personally find that it offers better usability -less configuration- than Wine.
I give you the smartbook. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartbook
Two examples: the Lenovo Skylight and Compaq Airlife.

Yet there are some of us who don't want a netbook. I guess choice is a bad thing. It must be netbooks or bust.
Yet Gnome sucks on low resolution small screens. I know this because Gnome sometimes renders widgets off screen!

Apple locks you out, Microsoft locks you in. I personally would rather be locked-out.
I use IBM Lotus Symphony on Mac, Linux/GNU and Windows; and I'm thankful for Sun and OpenOffice.org.
Forgetting OO.o is unfair to all the effort put through by Sun and the community.

Memory/CPU usage? Proprietary license?/
exactly
Flash is proprietary I'd like to see it fade into oblivion. Maybe the iPhone and iPad will be what it takes to get people considering HTML5 instead of Flash.

And this is why I love /.
A Microsoft product dominating is hardly news worthy, but this is important.

Sorry but the iPhone is the better smartphone. Don't take my word for it, but Nokia's.

The question is, in 2011 will they match where Apple is now, or where Apple will be then?
Because buying Danger worked well for Microsoft. If Microsoft couldn't integrate a mid-size company, how would it integrate RIM into its operations?

It is not a bad thing. The more share Bing gains the more this proves that Google isn't a monopoly and averts any possible antitrust suit.

Why would I want WPF on my Unix?
Oh wait, I can't run it!
It says my OS is not supported.
Give me HTML or give me death.
