Microsoft settled in Microsoft vs. Lindows because they were quite worried that Windows would be ruled a generic termthat wasn't trademarkable. IIRC the Judge they appeared before raised serious questions about the term, and so they paid millions for the Lindows name and settled.
You get all that for the price of a worse web browser plus nagging issues like no copy and paste (though the update to fix that should be out soon). If you don't use much in the way of Microsoft products, it's a wash. Developing for WP7 is decent, though some of the missing classes from Silverlight leave me scratching my head.
Just the browser makes WP7 bad as far as what I would use it for. Go to the acid3 test in mobile Safari, then in WP7's bastardized IE version. Safari renders it correctly and gets 100/100 on my phone. IE produces garbage and a low score.
In other words, it doesn't, but the same organization that said that growing wheat on one's own property for one's own use can be regulated by Congress under the Commerce Clause has said it is, so there.
I've had a dealership not tighten a line up enough, and my brake fluid slowly drained out. It was fine on the way home, but the next morning I had no ability to brake. Thankfully my emergency brake worked and I had an alternative ride.
IE has been the heart and soul of all that was wrong, and unless he had any part in that, Murdoch is not the most evil thing to the web. He's still at least 1 or 2 steps behind the RIAA and MPAA.

That is true, Cingular was the dominant partner, but it still caused a bunch of problems.

Although it's different there, I seem to recall more air conditioning in Okinawa.
I haven't used Photoshop since about 2005-2006, but I don't recall it ever using the GPU. Has this changed?
And it was established by the judiciary. Coincidence? I think not!
This times a thousand. They are useful little things to have and pass around. Just this week I was asked for my card.

No, we all hate IE, it's just 9% of us are at work, libraries, etc. where they force us to use IE.
Africa is one of the regions expected to run out of IPv4 addresses last.
Welcome to the watch list, citizen.
Not COBOL, Brainfuck is more appropriate.

Sometimes things happen, and that dealership mechanics are not always the best.

Facebook uses a version of XMPP, and you can at least download open clients.
They may have three /8 blocks + what they had before, but look at their consumption.
I think they do on some builds.
I thought this was the case already. At least, it seemed to be the case when I went to school.
If that iPhone can run iOS 4, she's good.
Just like the drug laws keep drugs under control, right? You can lose it all there, but people still do it anyways.
Not all NAT is evil. NAT64 and DNS 64 are useful transition mechanisms so that you can connect with v4 hosts while running v6.
They chose to follow the leader. We humans at least have the capacity to choose that.
