Most game updaters these days have solved the issue of self updaters. Can be a problem in some cases, true, but use steam for example and its not one of them.
Anti-cheat software runs as a service on your machine, and starts alongside components like your anti-virus. It already has all its required privileges before you've even logged on.
As for the last point, that storage is also unnecessary because any program that attempts to store in its own directory will be automatically redirected to a virtual storage directory instead. My own Diablo 2 characters are stored in my user directory's virtual directory, completely automatically, no setup involved, will happen to any installation/user. See:
C:\Users\USR\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
Really puts a whole new perspective on LED clad 'gaming'-machines, which as you know - should have blue LEDs for cooling, and red LEDs for superior overclocking.
Webkit which itself is derived from KDE's KHTML. Apple 'funded' the webkit project, but they're far from alone in contributing to this open-source piece of software. Google (through Chromium) has a massive amount of contributions to the project, and the changes themselves are generally put to practice first through it.
The stock android browser I'm not certain on either, and I posses no Android device to check. I know Chrome for Android is based on Chrome 16 (and as such carries some version of webkit 535), but not much more than that.
I did not mean Apple is explicitly against open standards, simply that they are far from a great example as someone pushing open standards. If they were to be considered leading in this area, you would expect their own website to at the very least drop Quicktime requirements in lieu of the readily available video tag.
I'm going to assume you've never actually tested the capabilities of the various browsers themselves and compared them with the HTML5 spec, have you? Many elements of HTML5 are not part of the layout engine.
Nope, Safari is ahead of Internet Explorer (9 and 10) on standards compliance, but thats it. Further, Apple has made no efforts whatsoever on even fixing up their own website for standards compliance. It still requires Quicktime to view all media for example, and I've found not offered alternatives.
Been a few false positives, though thankfully only a few a year (and the amount of received mail is so low its noticed anyway). But they did fail to block well known fishing attempts that made national media.
Twice.
Slate devices, desktops, and notebooks already share the same code though, because they all run under the same system (WinRT). The sole addition is Windows Phone. On top of that, WinRT and Windows Phone use identical basic UI layouts (especially when WinRT is run on the side) - so if your app stuck to those guidelines the porting should be quite simple.
PC users are probably more likely to use multiple stores for their needs. So an iOS user or Android user files a single purchase for $400, a PC user files 4 for $100 each (or more likely, $95 average each, saving $20).
Yes. You can disable scheduled scans (and limit CPU usage), heuristics scans, or any passive monitoring. The anti-virus is literally exactly the same software that is being used already on Windows 7, Vista, and XP - the menus and graphics is all exactly identical to Microsoft Security Essentials. (And yes, it is present in the Windows Developer Preview from a few months ago)
If you want to send people a video in WebM you have to get them to install software.
Same holds true for H.264 playback in most browsers. Opera doesn't support it. Firefox doesn't support it, and nor does Chrome. Only ones that do are IE and Safari.
These three however do support immediate WebM playback, and a generic codec pack will introduce support of WebM into IE. That same pack also allows WMP (or any DirectShow player) to play it, in addition to several other formats such as OGG and FLAC soundfiles. FLAC in particular is already an effective standard for lossless audio.
Depends on the group I guess. Yahoo is probably popular in the US, but from my experience its almost unheard of in the rest of the world. I see more gmail accounts than hotmail ones nowadays, but theres still plenty of both - compared to zero for Yahoo. (Both current and historically).
Depends on location. Beats me why, but you can get the U2711 for the equivalent of 600 dollars easily in Sweden for example. Cinema display at its best is 950. And for that spare money, I'd buy a good quality Monitor Arm.

gpedit can be used to control that setting as well. Might be easier to remember for the purposes of multiple systems.
MMORPGs for consoles?
That does beg the question.
What console MMORPGs, because theres fewer of those than MMOFPSs.
So if I get the article right - LED cooling?

I thought I smelled something awful.

Actually, why bother with anything else. Lets just compare webkit versions.
Safari 5.1.2 (Windows) utilizes webkit 534.52.7
Safari 5.1.3 (Mac OS) utilizes webkit 534.53.10
Chrome 17 utilizes webkit 535.11.
Chromium 19 utilizes webkit 535.21.

Chrome, Firefox, even Opera.

Yes, SSDs have done this for quite some time. But it does mean you don't want to leave a SSD unpowered for too many months.

I came in and expected World War 3. I left after receiving world war 3.

It is offered by some ISPs. Not my own, but they do however have a tunneling service that most machines should automatically detect.

Its also fairly safe to assume its less likely to decide that CRITICALSYSTEMLIBRARY.DLL is a dangerous file that must be immediately purged.
>"Last month we announced WebP support for animation, ICC profile, XMP metadata and tiling."
I assume thats a 'yes'.
Not that I'm aware of. But it is available for Windows Mobile 5.0 through 6.5. http://xiph.org/dshow/
