I don't see why an "enthusiast" has to put up with laggy interfaces, poor coding. and paltry battery life. Google couldn't even be bothered with GPU acceleration of the UI and browser until ICS, and how long will it be before everyone else gets it? And yet somehow the interface manages to still be lower than the iPhone's. It's just stupid.
Given until recently the majority of Windows users were still running a 10 year old OS, you might not think it matters. But Android is an unpolished OS. Unlike iOS which from the beginning has offered extremely smooth operation at the expense of some features, Android seems to just be laggy and unstable. The improvements in usability from each revision is large, so people stuck with an older version end up running to iOS if they can.
Bing lost Microsoft billions. Xbox also lost them billions. I seriously doubt they've even made up the initial losses with the Xbox 360. He really is a bad business man. He's mostly a "me-too" person without any vision.
Also Android kind of sucks. It's laggy, drains battery life and is generally unstable. The apps are also usually inferior, with large fragmentation issues. Its main selling point is the ability for manufacturers to stick it onto $100 (off contract) phones.
Yeah this ruling is a very conservative pro-life ruling that prevents scientists from monetizing their inventions and essentially limits the rate of innovation. How can a researcher convince his university or company to invest money in something that they won't be able to earn any profit on? Yes, yes it's oh-so-terrible they want to make money on cures for the diseased, but that's freaking life.
Despite what slashdot thinks, patents serve a very important purpose in a capitalistic society. While perhaps abused by large corporations, the method of throwing out the baby with the bathwater reveals a lack of understanding of why the system came to exist in the first place.
Yeah I seriously don't understand why people are complaining about this. I haven't read the complaint thread but I love having the tabs at the top. It just makes things feel... less cluttered and more open. Most importantly is that regardless of the acceleration of your mouse, because the tab reaches the end of the screen you'll never accidentally jump past it.
Troops are voluntary. It's their own fault. If people didn't volunteer for war, the government wouldn't be able to wage war without a draft, and that will never happen.
Uh no? The interstate highway system, a $500 billion infrastructure investment, led to trillions of dollars in private investment. Rarely does the government invest in our infrastructure these days. Higher income inequality also leads to more frequent recessions and shorter expansions.
The real issue is one of jobs and wages, which will inevitably fall when you suddenly force 500 million developed workers to compete with slave labor.
Oil is only used to fuel vehicles. Coal is really what has powered civilization. With out rapidly advancing knowledge in biotechnology, it will only be a matter of time before we develop an oil substitute.
For the last time, Freddie and Fannie and the Housing Act had very, very, very, very, very, very little effect on the recession!
It was the private bank loans that really destroyed the market and lost the vast majority of money.
And there is no such thing as a "Free Market". It doesn't exist!!!! Consumers don't have perfect information. There are ALWAYS barriers to entry. There is NEVER perfect competition. It's a hypothetical construction, just like the IS-LM model. GHrarareadsf
Ha the chart only goes to 2009 but that yellow Apple line just keeps on growing exponentially. Pretty amazing. Also Apple's growing market cap has more to do with its dominance in portable electronics than the desktop arena.

What...? It's called a partition. No one expects to be running PS4 games at the same time they've loaded up Linux or Windows.
Jeezus, rooting, deleting apps, partitioning, swapping between internal memory and SD cards...? Does not sound fun...

You don't need to exploit a monopoly to innovate.

What does Android do that iOS doesn't exactly...?

Nope, just China.
Haha adding people to starving African nations will most definitely not make their problems go away.
What's artificial about helping the NCR beat the Legion?
SHUTUP IT'S REAL!
By any chance do you live in the country where Wall Street occupies YOU?
Yes I'll just go to the generic supermarket and find that non-corporate branded sugar water they sell.

Lol funny thing is Obama passed 3 more free trade agreements. Well done Congress, well done.
Uh huh let's deflate instead. I'm sure that would be great for our economy.
None of that is even remotely politically feasible. You have to address the corporate media propaganda and campaign funding issue first.
>there ate 120 FBI agents
Whoa, I didn't know we had a cannibalism problem.

Do you understand how much easier it is to program compatibility in an OS when the number of hardware configurations is limited?
