In a world of constant change, you can always rely on Microsoft to do something stupid. Their saving grace here is that, since Bing is used by a minority, they have little tobe worried about.
That has historically been Microsoft's modus operandi - acquire a company and then proceed to destroy it. As usual, consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.
Especially for the more than 600 million citizens that are still waiting to get access to running water, electricity and sanitation. I am sure they'll be ecstatic to learn about this new law.
Together with Gnome, KDE died in my desktop when change for the sake of change, and innovation for the sake of innovation became more important than functionality. I hate both Gnome and KDE with passion for both push the my-way-or-the-highway philosophy - Gnome more than KDE. They both insist in being the start of the show while my ideal desktop would always be in the background, almost unnoticed, letting you do your work and waiting there to tell it what to do, and do it promptly. I am not surprised that Linux is a nobody in the desktop, with these two shitty, me-too imitations of the worst that Microsoft and Apple have to offer.
I use the desktop for work, since April 2011 Linux desktops have promoted Eye Candy above Functionality.
Welcome to Linux in the desktop. This is what many in the Linux community are pushing in an effort to beat Microsoft in the desktop. No wonder they are mostly spinning their wheels. Fortunately, we (still) have alternatives in the Linux world.
We do not have the technology for flying cars. We do have the technology for those ridiculous airplanes with folding wings that then look vaguely like a car, we have propellers, as in drones, and we do have noisy, inefficient and expensive rocket technology. But we do not have the technology to develop what we all imagine when we talk about a flying car: a contraption that does look very much like a car, that hovers silently (or nearly so) in the air, and that zips back and forth over no matter what kind of terrain. Not only do we not have such a technology but, in addition, we have no clue how to develop it. There will be no such flying cars in this century.
With modern phones, you can identify who is calling - unless they explicitly refuse to identify themselves, in which case there is no reason to pick it up. In fact, I have very few reasons to pick up any calls at home - I just let them go to my voicemail, to deal with them at my own leisure later on. I do not need Apple, Google and AT&T for this.
People salivating over this should remember that Nokia has already released an Android; the N1. That was two years ago. Was it a good tablet? By all accounts, it was excellent. Did it make a massive effect on the market? It barely made a ripple, and was quickly forgotten.
Indeed. It was knifed by Microsoft, overlord of Nokia at the time, because it was eating into its business. Without Microsoft's ballchain, it will be interesting to see what kind of traction it gets - do not forget that, despite Microsoft's best efforts to drag it through the dust, Nokia as a brand still commands some authority.
Right. So the MBAs are laying off people in order to save the company, because of gross mistakes that said MBAs made. If anybody has to go is the largely useless MBAs.
Verizon and AT&T are what is left of the plethora of companies that the old AT&T was splintered into decades ago. It's high time to bring this bastards to heel again, with extreme prejudice.
Skype has become worse and worse ever since Microsoft took it over. On all platforms, in general, I understand, in Linux, in particular, I know first hand experience. Based on past history, this trend will continue indefinitely.
I submit to you that the vast majority of the many millions that the parties spend during the campaign is wasted money. Rallies are attended mostly by the faithful, who want to worship their heroes - but essentially no one is going to be converted by attending a rally. Ditto for ads - they make those already convinced feel good, but that is all.
The notion of a fifth force was seriously proposed already during the early 80s. It fizzled. I would be surprised, and disappointed, if it does not fizzle this time as well. Quite frankly, modern theoretical physics looks more and more like an epicycles science. Sure, strings are very simple - but so are the circles.

Take your Valium and go back to sleep. You are not in any shape for this kind of stress.
What you have explained politely, lucidly and reasonably I will say bluntly: the guy is full of shit.

Oh, you don't offer it in my area?

At least in the desktop.

Except that I have no use for the trash that Microsoft produces Once again, consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.

Yes, way to drop dead. Die, Windows Phone (or whatever the hell it is called now) die!
If it is going to be an experience as appalling as flying currently is, I'll give it a big miss.
This will come to nothing. In a few months time, it will have been forgotten. Who wants to bet against me?
Wrong. It is the Illuminati that are to be blamed. They, together with Sasquatch and Nessie are responsible for the decline of the US.

Are they mindless sheep? You replace your phone when there is a need for it. Replacing it because there is a new model is that hallmark of the sheep.
Why would they cater for Windows 10 Mobile? Here, see how relevant it is: http://www.windows10update.com....

Let the street racing begin to get going just a little bit before the light turns green. Wonderful.
