Confusingly, this is old news. I've been staring at these horrible bastardizations for over a month. (I use 'staring at' in a lose sense; what I really mean is a grey square that marks the spot where my HOSTS file and I finally said "we shall not yield.") I guess no one else here is actually unlucky enough to have to use Skype on a regular basis?
(But seriously. Thanks for the link. Now, to switch to Ekiga.)
Is there any reason you cut his lifespan two years short? Wikipedia boldly proclaims with unquestionable veracity that he didn't pass away until '94. (And he didn't have cancer until '93. Still, that's a rough gig.)
The Apple Calendar would replace the Chinese and Gregorian calendars with a uniform, modern system built on the one thing that unites us all: an unswerving devotion to the memory of Steve Jobs, the greatest computer scientist in history.
No, mostly second-world problems. It would allow the Chinese to finally eliminate the duopoly of their traditional calendar and the Gregorian one in favour of a new, uniform system that better reflects the reality of economies the world over. (Because, you know, every country is 100% iPhone. True facts.)
Personally, I don't think Apple will let a numeric inconsistency like "iPhone 5 released with iOS 6" stand. They'll either bump it up to be the iPhone 6, or just stop numbering them like the iPad, and call it the 2012 model iPhone. They don't do it for their other products, after all.
And immediately, it would become popular knowledge that it's dangerous, and everyone would use Bing or some other search engine when they wanted to look up anything remotely suspicious.
To extinguish that joke before it goes any further, MS was one of the biggest single contributors to the Linux kernel for a little while because they were adding Hyper-V compatibility stuff. So they've been embracing and extending it for some time now.
I looked it up—yes, it's exactly like that. A little progress bar with a time estimate for all downloads even appears on the button when at least one file transfer is in progress.
If it helps, I use Firefox 15 (Nightly), and its UI hasn't changed much since FF13, except for the inclusion of a new pop-up list download manager. I don't know of anything else that this resembles, but I find it really efficient; much better than trying to make do with clumsy "clear and close" extensions for the classic FF download manager, which itself hadn't changed since the dawn of the Firefox project.
3. Someone who invests in the creation of a product has some right to expect to be able to sell their works for a profit.
Licencing is not selling. Selling would be granting an exclusive licence and giving up your own rights to the product in question. Even people who don't think that IP is baloney hesitate when the argument is made that you should be able to profit forever from a work.

No, it was the 800th.
And now a Political Correctness moment, brought to you by your local public radio:
At no point in its history was the majority of Australia's population comprised of convicts.
I do believe we owe the editors some reheated "ignorant Americans!" comments.

All of these posts have been sarcastic. I'm so sorry.

Still unclear: if this event is being organized by Google's Vint Cerf and others, how many Vint Cerfs are there?!
Nah, during the fifties it was illegal to be cheerful, too.
...iOS 4, rather.
Or the iPad 2 ran iOS 3, or the iPhone 3GS ran iPhoneOS 2...
That solves so many problems.

Here's the rest of the list for those looking to be similarly innovative. Personally, I vote for 418.9: Government is a tinpot.
I know, right? You'd think that wouldn't be so hard to grasp, conceptually.
Sadly, not everyone shares your enlightened views.
Yes, well. No metric is both convenient and perfect.

My friends, I am here to announce a terrible thing: the world is out of good codenames.
