I have some experience with Hyper-V 2012. It's useless when scaled to run more than few virtual machines. There are issues that cause data corruption on hosts when doing migrations (yes, there is ticket open about that, been open for 8 months now without fix). SystemCenter requires silverlight and there are plenty of smaller issues. Linux support is close to a joke too.
New mobile site really doesn't work on desktop browsers, but it does load articles and i can see what it's all about.
Now my question is, what makes it so hard to make it? I think i could create something like this with jQuery Mobile or Sencha in few days (or less). Why did you choose to start from scratch and now spend days and days to fix bug's like touch events and differences beetween browsers? You could spend most of your time to simply polish and make it look like yours if you chose to use UI libraries that are already available.
I know this is not related, but failure rate for soekris boards are close to 100% in three years. I'm not sure if problem is with power unit that they use, but very soon everything starts to fail and magic smoke comes out of soekris.
Now I might be wrong here but memory serves that in Sweden the retailers are forced to accept a return of old equipment of the same kind when you purchase a new one. My google-fu right now has failed me so I can't find a reference.
I might be that what was optional now will be mandatory and different countries could already have this in effect.
More googling suggests that this is how it is./C
Mandatory in Finland also, can't recall how many years already. But it's not just that, you can also take your old electronics to local dump and recycle them for free. This also works for all other household item's that can be recycled, like old car batteries. No reason to throw them into river or park at night.
I'm running Windows 8 preview edition on my old Atom tablet. Metro works really well and i was amazed that it works with just 1GB of RAM (sure, more would be better). There are still some things missing, but it's very fast and way how apps are designed, makes it easy to port them for WP8 devices. I'm not big fan of Microsoft, but they could be on to something this time..
Article says they require $2 self test kit in every car. Well, here in Finland, they are actually thinking of installing device to car that would not allow car engine to run unless you regulary (15 min -> few hours) test your alcohol level. This device needs to be installed in EVERY car, new and old.
Second, web platforms are dead, and native apps that call web services are the new rage. It's just a better experience. Web platforms have been tried before since the 90s--see Java applets and ActiveX--and the experience is always poor. Nobody wants ChromeOS over iOS, Android, etc. Google has offered Native Client and Dart to compete performance-wise, but those are non-standard, Google-specific technologies
What are you talking about? Big part of your iOS and Android applications are already running in WebView. On desktop browser, think about Facebook and Google Apps. Web applications today have nothing to do with 90s Java or ActiveX crap.
I'm too looking for tablet that would run just HTML5/JS web applications. Browser autostart is must and system needs to be locked so that you can't easily get to undelaying operating system (when normally using application). We currently do this with stripped down Debian that simply starts X and Chrome (fullscreen, with some plugins).
It works very well but now there is severe shortage of sub $500 x86 tablets. I'm trying to find tablet similar to ExoPC (or WeTab), but i have only found few POS 'superpads' that are very low quality (grayish plastic screen etc.). On the other side, there are many expensive indrustial type tablet, but they are too heavy and expensive.
Our application could run on ARM tablet, but rooting and hacking Debian into easily available Android devices is too hackish. When i saw information about Linux tablet called Spark, i was excited until i noticed that it's just on of those useless 'superpads' from china (meaning, there is no 3G or 10.1" screen... or anything).
Since KDE 4.x, Kubuntu has been useless and even before that, there were way too many problems with default installation. There are other very good distributions that run KDE very well, openSUSE is one of those.

What ever you decide to do, please don't do Ubuntu.

Yes, what makes whole Mega thing interesting? Free storage? History of Mr. Dot? I would never upload anything to that service.
Graphics and voice acting still need work.
I just got Kingston 128GB SSD for my ultrabook and it was only 80 euros (around $100).
Well. Tell us about it then. Because i too think that when workload changes, so does FPS.
I would like to add that thet are available in ANY retail store that sells anything related to tools. Common sizes are 8mm, 10mm and 12mm for example.
Heck, a soekris or an alix board will do.

Why do you think VIA only produced crap? I only remember one bad chipset from them.

And when using just digital output, there is no difference at all anymore.

I didn't read your reply, but that was just the information i needed.
I didn't read article, summary or even comments, but i would like to know how well Raspberry Pi would work as thin client?
I think this is all part of Valve releasing their own console in next few years. Yes it runs Linux.
Birth control.

I'm told that it's legal to own jamming device in UK, but using it is illegal.

I never knew Stallman said something like that. Now i think he is sick fuck.
WindowMaker has absolutely nothing to do with KDE. Can you write emails with WindowMaker?
I missed dpkg too, but after a while, it didn't really matter. RPM's work just as well.
