This seems to always have been a "Chicken of the Egg" problem for Linux. We want major game titles to run on Linux, but vendors won't port because there isn't a large enough Linux user base; There isn't a large Linux user base because the quality of what is there is often inferior (dues to running in wine, bad/neglected drivers, etc) to Windows.
Did you show up to your interview with your hair blue and spikey and displaying your tattoos? I'm going to go out on a limb and say you probably combed your hair and covered the tattoos.
has signed up only 12 percent of the 2.6 million families eligible for the service since it was launched
Perhaps only 12% of those 2.6 million want internet service? I know it's unthinkable to be without broadband but there are people that don't want it. Why the crusade to get to 100%?... Oh yeah, more sheeple for advertisers.
I've heard this for nearly every interpreted language. The only problem is: that quick and dirty prototype almost always winds up being the production codebase.
It's obvious that few people on this forum even care about the victim in the article. Just a refresher: Stalking is a crime. So perhaps this woman needs to carry a gun now to keep her safe from the idiots who are (pun intended) up in arms over this silly device?
If you support this device or not: it is wrong to intimidate, threaten and/or stalk someone.
Just because someone works harder doesn't mean they deserve to get ahead of someone who is more talented. If you're simply not very intelligent, but work really hard, would we put you in charge of things?
Probably not.
Actually yes. The smart/talented wind up engineers, the "hard workers" wind up in management.
Compared to the religious masses of the rest of the world, who subscribe to much stricter tenets which are largely contradictory to science, I call bullshit.
Compton also has the Ghetto Bird constantly overhead (most of L.A. does). One difference is you can hear it coming, unlike the drone which I am assuming is silent.
Now, if they were looking in people's windows, that would be a bit creepier.
Read: "All of Compton", this assumes back/front yards. Peeping into the backyard IMO is almost as bad as peeping into a window.

Queue the scores of responses claiming to "never have had a problem" with .
Then after all of that we'll finally get to move on to the next big thing that was purposed twenty years ago.
Look at the bright side.... We've delayed the IPv6 apocalypse by twenty years.
Now I have to avoid you at the grocery store for fear of being in line behind you while you write a check.
I think your sarcasm detector needs adjustment.
I really don't see why they just don't abandon the whole "watch video in your web browser" scenario
Because apps made for the browser are multi-platform. duh.

it's great for quick and dirty prototyping

No longer are they striving to put out the best software
I'm sorry, did I miss something? When were they ever trying to put out the best software? "Bottom line" has always been the bottom line with M$
Honestly amazing things can now be done in a variety of languages.
Really? I thought they were all limited by the underlying hardware.
Last I checked they all basically did the same thing(s), just in different ways.
Immediately after WIRED published the story

Does anyone else have a problem with legislation being tied to a commercial product?
To me, it just seems wrong.

So, please, stop painting this as an iOS vs. Android thing
But then what fun would there be to have?
There is a warmth to the time on an analog time piece.

sometimes eliminating upwards of 10 or more gigabytes of code. OS X only got faster with each release.
Wow, how'd they fit that onto the release DVD ?

I can't wait until someone re-invents the wheel. Again.
