Exactly. And it's amazing that a business journal is unable to see past the transparent hype. I'm sure they believe the Segway will replace cars as well. Morons.

Amarok and Kaffeine are both actively developed, and none of them are stripped of functionality (Amarok has been rewritten, though, which is not the same). Kwin is stable, but demands decent graphics drivers.
The problem with his 'prediction' is that it neither refutes nor confirms the climate researchers' predictions. It's simply outside the scope of the current models. AFAIK, the models, as an aggregate, predict a new warming record with 90% certainty[1] within the next 18 years. Despite the trend, there's a fair amount of noise from year to year, which is of course what deniers exploit when they claim "no warming since 1998" (a record year until 2005) and similar. Some decades will most likely experience moderate cooling. Denialists love to pretend the 2000s have been cooling, but as a decade on the whole, it's been warmer than the 1990s and everything else.
[1]pulling this from my memory, so it's likely wrong.
But how is that any different than the massively different user experience between the iPad and a Touch and an iPhone 4? Rovio's popular Angry Birds game has more choppy animations on the iPad than on some of the unsupported Android devices, btw.
Only their stock price has been stagnant the last decade whereas their revenue and operating income have been going up. Stock price is an indicator of the perceptions and delusions of the players on the stock market, not of the corporations themselves.
If MSFT is a "perfect example" of a company with "stagnant or declining revenues, stagnant or declining stock prices or both" when in fact its revenue growth has been at 11% throughout the last decade? For someone called aristotle-dude, you seem to be far too easily swayed by hype.
Oh, really? Relying on a phone for one of its simplest features is "inexcusable"? Mobile phones have been able to do this reliably for more than a decade. It's practically an Apple-only problem: for everyone else, it "just works".
Re: your point 3: Making out three years as some kind of "trend" is simply not statistically valid, never mind significant. It's only "heretical" because it's false.
I'm not sure you can give an Android app permission to write to other application files, which a virus would need in order to spread. Then again, most Windows worms a couple of years back seemed to rely on user stupidity, and I don't think Android differs too much in that regard. An app that can read your address book and send SMS can also spam your contacts with "Hello friend, I just doanlowded this new Android game from http://spam-r-us.cn/andoird.apk and its great, thank you!" or similar, and at least some users would follow that kind of link.
You may not know this, but Adolph Hitler attacked Poland, France, England, the USSR and a bunch of other nations as well, and was an ally of Japan. WWII was, in fact, never about the Jews. Some people say that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it; I believe you're only doomed to eternal stupidity.
You're selling Android every bit as much as others are selling iOS. If they're fanboys, so are you. By your own definition.
Let's see the comment I originally replied to:
iPhones are a solid platform. They have a few different versions of the OS (there needs to be progress, right?), but that's it. Much better for developers and for users. While Windows Phone 7 has definitely taken a better approach than before, they also haven't considered this issue.
That's advertising. There's nothing like it in any of my comments. Like I've said before: you're a fraud.
Right. As if the so-called "subsidized" price has anything to do with reality. Are you really that stupid, or are you just hoping others are? There's a word for what you're doing: fraud.

No, I didn't buy their phone, and I never will. But loads of people do, and if Apple ever gets to become a dominant platform, the media will start adapting to their censorship, and we're all screwed. So that's just another bullshit argument from you, and yet again it's a cliché that you copied from elsewhere. No wonder you're happy with the Apple "experience" when you're following the herd without a single rational thought of your own. Sheep.

Mod parent up. I thought he was joking, but then I really got diarrhea towards the end.

No, not Uwe Boll.

So, which climate change denier hasn't been caught lying yet?
Why? Slashdot's summaries are almost consistently wrong.
Opera is still the most widely used mobile web browser worldwide, according to Statcounter. But perhaps mobile is irrelevant in the real world.
That's wrong on so many levels. All decent chefs know that animals start tasting rancid once they're old enough to reproduce.
According to Wikileaks themselves (Slashdot breaks cut & paste in Chromium, so no link):
Which would include people like me.
Mobile? It's going to change the office desktop.

But yeah, let's blame the victim.
Oh? Point me to someone somewhere saying that some climate model is 100% accurate. You're a liar.

Yeah, except this is not a virus and Android doesn't seem to be very susceptible to viruses.
