Is it really that hard to think that there are more GMO's then potatoes? Really? Is it that hard? And is it so hard to think that maybe, just maybe, because potatoes are so cheap that maybe, just maybe, they end up in the feed? Really?
Europe != the rest of the world. Also your link there states that they don't label any GM feed used for animal production and GM proteins do show up in the animals that are fed the GM feed and those animal food products are sold to the public but not labeled with any warning about GMOs.
Its not a walled garden when you can still install programs beyond the garden. Its like declaring to someone who plays games that they should buy their games from Steam. It tends to be the best way to keep things up to date and legit, but its a far call from a walled garden.
If the rapture comes this Saturday (hopefully, not before Doctor Who airs), the non-believers are to burn in hell for eternity. We accept it, we stand by it.
If the rapture does not come, however, what will the believers do? What do they venture?
I suggest that if they are true believers ready to bet everything on their faith, they all gather in a certain place (desolate place to limit the unnecessary collateral damage would be best) and immolate themselves. For fairness sake.
This week at work someone had put their Android device on our network via Wifi. It was harvestingWindows logins and trying to login with them. Such things don't happen with a policed application store.
Its like when you buy office software from an Apple Store and they showing you Microsoft Office. They didn't program it, but they will happily sell it to you, thus the the Apple store does sell office programs. And games, music, movies on iTunes but they didn't make any of them.
Like connect to the internet without first spending some money on one or more anti-virus packages? Windows is the only current OS which connects to the internet with its legs wide open.
Every Windows OS since XP SP2 has had the Firewall built in and turned on by default.... Nice try though
if you use Windows you get infected just by connecting to the internet. I've never had such experience with my Mac.
I've never had such experience with my Windows box nor have millions of other Windows users. If they did, they would leave Windows by the millions a day looking to either OSX or word of Linux would spread like wildfire (like Facebook did for millions of people).
Ubuntu has already been doing this for awhile. Any program you download gets flagged and you have to right click into Properties and check the box at the bottom of the Permissions tab. If you don't, Ubuntu won't let you install it (it will tell you how to allow the file to be run with the right-click and check the box). I feel this is a nice safety feature. Pseudo-walled garden but you if you wish you can still install anything you want though.
Well, to start with, I meant it literally as a start to VMs on a tablet, maybe moving in the end to something like a cloud to do the VMing. As for porting something like GIMP, thats one program, there are how many different Windows/Linux/OSX programs out there and expecting them all to be ported is just not possible, while VMing an OS online would be much more realistic to use these programs. Use them with maybe an on screen keyboard and Bluetooth mouse when you need those then close it all down when your finished to save your battery.
Well, first thought: first steps to VM's on a tablet. Full powered apps (beyond the more watered down ones like the Photoshop one) on a tablet computer and only when you need it so it doesn't kill your battery all day.
Well the Zune part was Microsofts attempt to enter into Apples portable devices market that didn't make a major dent (and for Apple OSX is their attempt to enter into Microsofts market and not making a major dent when after 10 years of heavy marketing and is still less then 1 in 10). This I mentioned at the end being that, yes, they've tried to overlap but didn't succeed.
As for Apple being able to bundle everything into its OS and being considered a great move by everyone but if Microsoft attempts even a fraction of it then its this horrible, evil anti-competitive move, I completely agree with you. I have nothing to explain against it because I completely agree with you. It is blant bias, and its a wonder that with Apple boasting that it has the major market of tablets that they aren't being remotely looked at for anti-competitive moves with their iTunes and App Market moves (like the whole iBooks incident). It just seems in the end, that with enough marketing anything seems to be a good thing when a company does it with flashy ads and comments that "We do it for you".
Not as simple as you seem to be implying. Thing is while Apple has gotten large, it is by no means a major player in Microsofts fields. Apple has gained it fortune in portable devices, while Microsoft gained its fortune from its OS on computers (and is still the biggest player there by far), and Microsoft also is the biggest player in the home console market. These are 2 different companies that aren't really competing in the same market. Sure they've tried to overlap into the others field but they would come out at either a loss or never made a major dent.
Less web pages to around when you want to download it again. Also auto-patching and the Steam overlay tends to be a great thing (I do know you can do the Steam overlay with non-Steam bought games but still).
No, it doesn't cancel out anything and with you asking that it showed that the entire point went above your head. The problem is people like to claim that only Apple products can live more then a few years and they never break. My point was that Apple products do in fact break (go to your local Apple store and ask people waiting in the Genius Bar to see more). And Apple products can live as long as other well built products by other maker (as I mentioned with "They just don't live any longer then a good built laptop from other companies"" and didn't say "Apple products always fail within a year or 2"). The problems with Apples perceived quality is when people want to compare an Apple product verse another makers, they need to make it a more equal comparison and not purposefully choose a low quality product to compare against. This is a very common issue that I notice when talking about Apple quality. I also notice that whenever I mention anything that is less then stellar about Apple someone has to pipe up to try to make it seem like my answer should be cancelled out and dismissed for no other apparent reason beyond it was Apple I was speaking about.
It doesn't always work to mention how they will be modded down, I've seen it happen. And yeah, I don't care anymore about being modded down. The entire modding system is horribly broken with it just being handed out at more or less random so then people will try to use them to censor anything they don't approve of or to use them against others they've come to dislike.

Oh? Did they leave the 3d lens on the video stream and forget to remove it for the 2d lens for streaming 2d movies?
Rapture Rules:
Let us level the playing field.
If the rapture comes this Saturday (hopefully, not before Doctor Who airs), the non-believers are to burn in hell for eternity. We accept it, we stand by it.
If the rapture does not come, however, what will the believers do? What do they venture?

Great story there... you do know there are packet sniffers and other such programs for the iPhone? They are just a jailbreak away...
All sold by Microsoft.

Yeah, for a while now.

Walled gardens should be optional, but available

They were called both Squiddies and Sentinels. Squiddies was their nick name, Sentinels was the official name.
At what point does it go from the current version to the 'Squids' in the Matrix?

Compaqs website. They have their brand name on their computers and laptops.

So does that make Google Pacman the court jester? To entertain all whom enter the castle walls?
Both Facebook and Google uses Linux, not OSX.
Yeah, my English teacher is very disappointment in my grammer.
