Flash on windows might be better but it isn't exactly rosy. Flash is often an instant way to make my otherwise blazing fast (to me) core2duo feel like a 800mhz pentium.
Actually it appears to me cross platforming is easier than ever. The 360 and PC versions can be nearly identical (the PC version will run like shit but gamers don't care). The PS3 version does probably need a good 2nd team for development but the Wii version can be offshored because they don't really care about quality. Today I see more crossplatform games than ever, even MAC is gaining steam.
So they outlawed metal-detecting? Anything valuable you find would have to be turned over to the police, which probably just gets resold at an auction.
My grocer routinely runs sweepstakes by you just using your card, so while some data is faked, my name and address isn't. Yes I realize they are selling my data, just like everyone else.
This isn't acceptable when they take our DNA and patent the tests and results that come from it. If they want free access to my DNA I want free access to their tests and results.
This does nothing at all to prevent drive-by ad malware, which has happened to me twice on "reputable" sites, even using firefox. I now use adblock and noscript, but no longer is it "safe" to simply just not use IE.
MS probably wouldn't have a problem moving on to another generation, assuming they can keep some backwards compatibility. A significant number of 360 users have probably already replaced their machine at least once. Sony doesn't have a choice, their platform practically seems like it is just getting started. Nintendo might be able to pull a "Wii isn't a Gamecube:DS isn't a gameboy" and release a controller-based HD gamecube.
When I bought the 1st generation PSP I returned it to walmart 5 times before I got one without dead pixels. Same for my Viewsonic monitor I got 4 years ago. I'm sure the employees hated me but I'm hypersensitive regarding product defects; if I'm paying more than $100 for something I expect it work 100%.
Because all a yellow means in my state (CA) is "light was green is about to turn red." There is no other meaning.

This is straight up bullshit, I don't know if you live in Klan Country but I have lived within the US in California and Arizona and I'm not sure if a more diverse set of people live anywhere else in the world. In the middle of Republican Arizona I can get some of the most awesome authentic Afghani food available. There are entire communities of people from nearly everywhere in the world that exist in major cities here. Greek fairs, Asian fairs, Russian fairs nearly every week a culture celebrates themselves with large followings. Even suburban white people have yearly block parties and love for native american culture and western themed anything. It is true Americans are very behind in some respects but we are very open to other cultures. Even our immigration policies are more open than our neighbors (Canada in particular).
The candy looked too sweet. With Windows Phone 7, they are going to market-place only installs (from the engadget article). Otherwise Windows mobile 6.5 and blackberry (nokia/symbian?) are the only major smart-phone operating systems I am aware of where installing 3rd party apps doesn't require anything extra or major hassles.
Except you can't read graphic novels, comics, or technical books on the kindle (at least very well). CNET has a video somewhat demoing this on the iPad, and it actually kind of sold me. However, I am not a sucker, I am going to wait until version 2.0 where they will most likely reduce the bezel, add a camera, and probably drop the price a little. Can anyone chime in if it is easy to read pdf ebooks on the iPad?
I use J River media Center, it has similar functionality to itunes except it doesn't treat you like a child. Currently using 33MB of RAM playing an mp3. However, unlike itunes it is expensive, but if you are a digital music aficionado it is worth it IMO. No I don't work for the company but if they want to throw a product key my way that would be cool.
Taking part of your suggestion I went back to Opera (for the 5th time) and now while it is no longer the fastest browser it seems like the most usable, and it renders much better than it did several years ago.
There is nearly no concern with using disposable lances. They are frequently and safely used for a variety of common lab and consumer tests. Safer than having your blood drawn.
I already said I don't want to edit my hosts file (doesn't do anything to prevent new rogue drive-by malware). If this solution is similar to all the other adblock solutions for Chrome it still downloads all the ads and associated drive-by rogue malware, it just hides it so you don't see it.
So then what is a good browser? I do value privacy so I don't use Chrome (I figure google can have either my search history or web browsing history but not both, and adblock for Chrome really sucks). I hate ads so I don't use Opera (the adblock solution also sucks). I don't care about bloat, but I do care about speed, and firefox is the slowest of the main browsers I use (I do not use IE8). The four things I care about are security, ad-blocking, speed, and privacy. It looks like this is another case of "choose 3 out of 4".
It isn't, but at this point our understanding of everything you mentioned is barely above "it is the soul." We are still in the dark ages with our understanding of psychology.
If there is indeed a god, even a christian god, it is entirely plausible that man's writings about him have little to do with him. I actually find your comment to be just as hilarious as fundamental Christianity. "Oh, you exist, well fuck you!" strikes me as just as silly as the literal interpretation of Genesis.

Is the upgrade to Onenote alone worth it? It is probably my favorite application. I just wish firefox had the equivalent plugin that keeps formatting.

Please provide these statistics.

Windows 7 allows for 300%, although you have to manually add the value in the custom DPI box.

While it can be done much better in linux, if you are a linux noob I suggest getting something like Windows Home Server, this way when shit hits the fan (as it inevitably will) everything is already automatically backed up:

My original 1st run xbox It 360 is still working. Maybe our consoles should mate. The offspring could use Wii consoles as gaming cartridges.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't care about usability, IMO all the major browsers are horrible in this regard.
