    Oh no! How will the site ever recover after such an earth-shattering proclamation.

    if you don't mind jamming 100 lines of assembly into your head to grok an if statement

    That must be some shitty assembly to need 100 lines to do something that can be done in 2 or 3 statements.

    Yeah and the smartphone market in those days was a tiny fraction of what it became after the iPhone.

    It was designed in 2004 but not released until the beginning of 2007.

    Does MsOffice explicitly names the default font in the save document?

    Yes. Why would it possibly do anything else?

    It wouldn't have changed the font. Calibri became the default font for new docs but old docs weren't automatically converted to it.

    What specific data is Apple giving away? Don't handwave and be vague.

    By the same logic, niche and unpopular != good.

  10. Nothing of value... on Windows Phone Dies Today (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Will they be having the same mock funeral they arrogantly had for the iPhone? The hubris was astounding.

  11. Nice attempt at spin, but it still shows that signiificantly less people will buy one without subsidies.

  12. Sure, but that's big IF without actual sales data.

  13. It implies that X% of new PCs are AMD compared to Y% in the last several years.

    No, it only implies that a niche group of people heavily skewed by selection bias are benchmarling more AMD CPUs. It says absolutely zero about sales or stealing marketshare. This is as silly as the people who claim net stats about Linux marketshare are wrong until the numbers show negatively for Microsoft. At that point, the previously flawed methodology becomes infallible gospel.

  14. So another set of data with a heavy selection bias?

  15. The headline says "stealing marketshare from Intel". The number of people bechmarking systems does not back up that wild claim.

  16. But that doesn't mean that AMD has more marketshare which is the ultimate claim being made in the headline. People may still be buying lots of already released Intel hardware and don't feel the need to rebenchmark it.

  17. Pfft, that's logical thinking and doesn't support a clickbait headline.
