I highly doubt it, though I'd expect them to rebrand the "Zune Marketplace" with a new name in the next 6-12 months to distance it from the failed hardware platform.
It's much more simple than that: Apple has never cared about security. They're not starting down the same road as Microsoft, they've always been on it. They just didn't have enough marketshare to force them to try and do something about it.
I found that as well. Using the basic strategy I would against a human opponent I came up with a near-perfect split of 33-35-31 on Novice but a pretty decisive victory on Veteran at 42-34-23.
Of course, I tend to be pretty decent at this game vs. humans so it's probably doing a pretty good job of learning how to play from people. It's just too bad that it's learning to play from run-of-the-mill RPS clowns instead of pros.
After 100 rounds on "Novice" I was 33-35-31. That doesn't seem like a very amazing record for a program that alleges to be able to predict what you're going to throw and beat you. I'm not exactly sure how to calculate the random odds for rock-paper-scissors, but I can't imagine that an even split like that is too far off what one would expect.
So then I did 100 rounds on "Veteran" to see how it fared there, since they seem to be claiming that this will be even better at predicting what you are going to throw. I went 42-34-23. Maybe I'm just a super champ at this game, but either way I'm not impressed.
Wrong again, Bob.
From the fucking dictionary:
1. a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them.
2. any body of persons viewed as a commonwealth.
3. a state in which the head of government is not a monarch or other hereditary head of state.
4. ( initial capital letter ) any of the five periods of republican government in France. Compare First Republic, Second Republic, Third Republic, Fourth Republic, Fifth Republic.
5. ( initial capital letter, italics ) a philosophical dialogue (4th century b.c.) by plato dealing with the composition and structure of the ideal state.
"Ignore exceptions and block third-party cookies from being set"
It's right there in the "Cookies" section of the settings page. If you're having trouble finding it type "cookies" into the settings search box. How is that hidden?
Why do you need a menu bar in a web browser? Just because you're used to it wasting your screen real estate?
The first thing I do with a new Firefox install is move the address and search bars into the menu bar and edit the menus down to a single entry with the very, very few menu options I will ever need. Chrome has just taken this extra work out of the equation and put those options under a button.
These aren't Mac users we're talking about, there's no way more than a handful of people would have paid $10 for an application, no matter how useful, that provides functionality that should be included with the operating system.
If we did have to reinvent the wheel each time some asshole would just find a way to patent all new methods for producing a wheel and then no one would have wheels.
Figure we're probably looking at a new console launch in 2013, that gives Microsoft two years to rush this thing out the door again. That's more than enough time to get their failure rate down to the 30-40% that they find acceptable.
It doesn't take your freedom away. It protects the freedom of the people producing it. If you don't like the terms you have the freedom to not use someone else's code for free. Only an idiot could fail to grasp such a simple concept.
Perhaps you don't understand what connotation means. "Monopoly" certainly suggests or implies something negative to the vast majority of people. Whether or not that is justified is another matter. Though the answer to that is probably, "when in doubt."
They had to make at lease one nonstandard setting, download in a nonstandard way, and launch the installation in a nonstandard way. Looking for Porn is my guess. I have very little sympathy.
It's hardly that involved. There's just one setting to change, which is to allow installation of apps from sources other than the Android Marketplace, and then the apps will download in the standard way using the standard installation process.

But isn't Windows 7 really just a very late "Vista.1"?
"puh-ho-ho-ho"
Why cry about moderation?
Not as soft? I don't think that word means what you think it means.
You don't get as big a return per exploit due to the much, much smaller install base, but OSX is definitely a softer target than Windows.

Pretty damn good. Thanks for asking.

Have you ever used an Apple product? Pretty sure they don't have any quality control.
You've got to be joking. Almost every Apple user I know uses one because they grew up using Apples in school and so they're "used" to them now.
Slashdot seems to love Apple these days. What are you idiots on about?
Exactly, to get cost parity (and then some) just stop subsidizing oil.
Google.com already has something similar.

Apple is a nation now? Geez, you Apple fanboys have it even worse than I imagined.
Well it's hard to make something that crappy. No surprise there are so few willing to challenge Microsoft for that crown.
