i fail to see what relevance time-to-market has in a consumer purchasing decision. and if all phones are equivalent in terms of the points 1-9 given above then surely they also have no relevance to the purchasing decision. so, if any meaningful question is being asked, it cannot be the one you suggest.
the Windows Phone UI always gives me the feeling that I'm "missing something". I always feel like there's something else I should see
isn't that precisely the intention - to indicate that you're currently viewing only a subset of the available information and that the rest is accessible by scrolling to the right/left ?
no, a plea bargain is a different thing entirely: the defendant in a criminal trial pleas guilty in return for reduced charges from the prosecution. out-of-court settlements are for civil cases where the plaintiff (the DOJ, in this case) can decide to cease litigation at any time, for any reason.
your term "criminal corporation" implies that Microsoft in this case committed a crime which is ridiculous since they weren't even charged with committing a crime by the DOJ. the anti-trust laws in the US are enforced by civil action.
1) virus writer tries to pay microsoft $99 to get his bootloader to run on oem machines. good luck with that. 2) savvy users manually disable secure boot, or install their own keys.
You know that among modern OSes, Windows is unusual in that it doesn't come with a compiler as a standard feature.

you can extract the jre from the download using 7-zip.
download the 7-zip .msi installer. /a /qb TARGETDIR=%TEMP%
extract and run 7-zip:
msiexec
%TEMP%\Files\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
then download the JRE Offline-install from oracle.
navigate to the JRE download in 7zFM and extract it. inside you'll find a 'core.zip' archive. extract that, that's the JRE.
now there's an express install. also, reboot is no longer required.

What does MS bring to the table that's better?
i don't think that's the question being asked.

great in theory, but has any study shown that this is how users actually behave?
I wouldn't be surprised if the people responsible for the malware/data-loss even know that the company makes headphones.
seriously. i used to work for them. i can't believe there's a company more incapable of making effective use of its assets & talent.
that's hardly a fair comparison... sure the sennheisers sound better, but they cost twice the price - they had better sound better.
I have two pairs of 7506s, one nearly 20 years old. they still sound great.

atheism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive. you'd be hard pressed to find an atheist that is absolutely certain of their beliefs.
That's not better than a position of a raving religious zealot
not so, the onus is on the constructor, not the rejector.
Comitting crimes does not automatically make you a homicidal maniac
no, but the need to avoid going to prison is quite a motivator, especially when you're already in the hole in the heat of the moment.
if you got mugged and you didn't see a gun, it's probably because you didn't try to defend yourself.
the outcome of a 1-on-1 confrontation is extremely variable, unless one side has a gun.
wow, RedHat pays $99 to Verisign for a code-signing cert and gets Microsoft to give it to their OEM logo hardware partners?
it's the end of the freaking planet people.
run for the molehills.
1) virus writer tries to pay microsoft $99 to get his bootloader to run on oem machines. good luck with that.
2) savvy users manually disable secure boot, or install their own keys.
either way, not an issue.
Microsoft was found to have committed
remember that the Jackson ruling was overturned in appeal and the two sides settled out of court.

top tip: it's a good C++ IDE.
doesn't the time shifting clause cover this?
yeah, but by eating the post-split sugar you're screwing with the natural insulin cycle.
yeah, but why do fat people eat more? because they're hungry. why? because their insulin response has been screwed up by too much sugar.
wrong. it's the sugar in the bun that causes your body to store the fat.
it looks to me like the exposure was entirely external.
if you're breathing, eating, drinking and washing in the source then it's much more likely to be problematic.
i fail to see what bearing the time/implementation of the binding has on the syntax.
why cannot
object->function(object, parameter)
be the same thing as
objc_sendMesg(object, @selector(function:), parameter)
?
and don't get me started on the whole '.' / '->' thing for fields & properties.
does ARC handle cycles??
Yes it does.
huh? that's like saying malloc() doesn't leak, and free() is safe.
in other-words, no, it doesn't.
