But then again, I haven't seen an actual satisfactory word processor, spreadsheets, compiler on any touch device (iOS/Android). All the available ones are, to put it bluntly, shit. Even the ones created by Apple and Google themselves. I think Metro apps are not supposed to be full blown apps, they are supposed to be like iPad apps. Just a nice frame to pull data off the web, or games.
Why can't a touchscreen support context menus (right-click menus)? Android does it pretty elegantly, via long touch. And don't forget that Win8 was built from the ground up to support touch, the entire metro interface is great with a touchscreen. just because it is capable enough to run a parallel full desktop interface doesn't mean the whole thing is stupid, it means it is trying to be 2 things at once. And that can be a brilliant thing, if you manage to pull it off.
in games that allow it, i choose to login thru fb than g+. because that allows me to play against my friends with iphone or the rare windows phone. but yeah, except this, there is no other use for g+.
amen to all of that. its a huge problem here in india, i hope it doesn't catch on in the us too. and if nadella does indulge in stuff like hiring stupid guys just because they would work for peanuts, he deserves all the hate. but my point is, traditionally microsoft has NOT done this. they hire only the best, regardless of the ethnicity of the employee being hired. and they pay them more or less at par with americans.
Given that you apparently do not know what a capital letter is...
thanks for the personal attack, and a blatantly stupid one at that. yeah, i got thru 12+4 years of english education without coming across a capital letter.
Furthermore, I think that your English comprehension skills are lacking, due to your claim of "racism" being present. Nobody cares that Indians are Indians. Nobody cares what color their skin is.
it's a matter of opinion. i guess a troll wouldn't be able to comprehend that.
blah blah...call center...blah blah
this is not about call centers based in india, this is about indians being hired to work inside the us. again, your hatred (racism?) is eclipsing your comprehension skills.
The truth is that the American worker is realizing that his talent is not so unique anymore. People educated in India can and do exceed the level of American born, American educated guys. And that truth is obviously hard to swallow.
i don't get this whole racism against indians thing. i am an indian, english is my second language. i am in the 99th percentile according to the gre verbal test. microsoft ceo is a guy completely educated in india. you think he is worse than the thousands of american microsoft employees?
regulation would work in reducing immigrant workers, but microsoft would simply move whole divisions overseas. in totality, us jobs will decrease, not increase. i would think that inviting the smartest people from other countries and letting them create wealth inside the us would be better than less jobs in the us.
i think they mean 'its so good that people just can't stop playing it' when they say their game is addictive. the addiction of heroin might be a completely different kind.
the most successful smartphone (GS4) has a removable battery. The second most successful smartphone (GS3) has a removable battery. These were able to trump iphone due to small nitpicks like this only. MotoX is not selling at all. You are one of the few people who think less choice is good (in battery replacement).
People went to buy a smartphone thinking they'd have the same apps/functions/etc as the iPhone if they bought any smartphone, then found that their Android phone didn't do/use the specific thing that all their friends on iPhones could do/use.
highly unlikely that you can find an android phone that does not at the least do something an iphone can. the other way round is likely, but not this.

LOL, what could possibly go wrong?
There's a super(hero|villain) origin story in here waiting to happen.
VR, dodgy electrical shocks, a budding young scientist, a Microsoft product and Facebook... quick, someone should sell this to Marvel. =)
you forgot :P

ftfy if you are in india (:
the problem is not kernel-debugging, the problem is debugging bugs caused by the compiler misrepresenting your c code in assembly.

yeah, i'm unable to capitalize. see here's a capital 'a'. oops, just can't seem to press shift together with any other key.

1 year old phones (gs4) support ac. look harder, man.
Lack of microsd is simply unacceptable, imo. non-replaceable battery i might put up with. this is the main reason i bought an s4 and not an n5.
i wanna flash cm onto my s4, but i haven't because i don't wanna lose the gesture and hover features. are those implemented on cm?
because kilograms is the SI base unit.
TIL that wireless internet is ubiquitous because of starbucks. Who would've thought!
huh? issues can't travel thru 5VDC lines.
Hardware difference between the s3 and s5 is immense. Please read up.
even flash is better than quicktime.

i really didn't know this, and it surprises me!
you bought a highly outdated android phone. of course it will make you want to switch to the latest iphone.
