But consider all the chemical crap those things eat. Read the ingredients on a bag of doritos, or a can of coke. Do you want to eat something that has been feeding on that garbage?
'With Windows 8, Microsoft is trying to gain share in what has been dominated by the iPad-type device. But a lot of those users are frustrated, they can't type, they can't create documents.
Of course you can type and create documents on most tablets a standard KB. Frustrated by *not* having ms-office? That'll be the day.
Nobody considers doctors, lawyers, scientists, accountants, or engineers, over the hill at 40. Why is software development considered different?
Can surgeons learn new procedures after they are 40 years old? Can lawyers learn a new law?
I suspect that employers know that software developers can be productive when they are over 40 years old. But, maybe EA would have more trouble working those developers for 110 hours a week?
> There a more than 1200 Linux viruses. That notion of yours is bullshit.
I have ran Linux as my primary desktop for over ten years, never run an anti-virus, never got infected.
> And you are forgetting costs to teach your average secretary how to use Linux + New Software licenses + migration costs.
Are you forgetting how radically different Win8 is from previous versions of windows? And, unlike iTunes or other proprietary garbage, there is no 79 page license you have to sign for Linux. As to migration costs, much of your old software will not run on Win8.
> You must be a teenager in Mom's basement if you think for a second that large scale environments can be migrated to Linux for free and everyone know how to use it. Bollocks.
I am not. I realize there are difficulties in switching from one environment to another. But sometimes it's worth it.
> Supported Linux like Red Hat actually costs money.
So don't use Red Hat. Lots of free linux distros out there.
> The problem is that the "War on Terror" is really a war of Christian fuck-ups against Islamic fuck-ups.
Classic false equivalence argument. There is actually no comparison. Muslim terrorist attacks far outnumber all other groups combined, by about 10,000 to 1.
Groups like the ACLU always need money. They have to keep their big contributors happy.
I have discoverd that Melissa Chabrán is on the board of the Washing State ACLU. She is also the Senior Program Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Patent lawsuits are not *always* bullshit. Some lawsuits are completely legitamite.
If Apple was having real technology stolen from them, I would applaud Apple taking appropriate steps to protect technology that Apple actually invented.

Stay with Windows 7?

My understanding is: if you are going to safely eat insects, they have to be specially grown. Wild insects are loaded with insecticides.
The real problem is: these companies let themselves get vendor-locked by Microsoft.
If they had used a browser that was less proprietary, and more standard; there would not be this problem.
Once you go with a company like Microsoft, you get totally locked in.

Apple is the one filing all the scam lawsuits.
> Don't you think its wrong though that Apple spends billions of dollars and then have someone else come along and copy it
Like what? What great invention - that Apple spend billions of dollars on - was stolen from Apple? Please be very specific.
> Remember Apple started playing this game when someone sued THEM
Difference is: Apple's patents are pure bullshit, and Apple only sues over their bullshit patents because Apple is scamming the system.
Not *all* patent lawsuits are scams. Some patents are entirely legitimate. Apple is the master of junk patents, and scam lawsuits.
In all fairness, how can they deny Samsung a bullshit patent, when they have granted Apple so many bullshit patents?
> Samsung and apple in this case are to blame here.
No, only Apple is to blame. If somebody punches you in the face, and you hit back, are you to blame?
Samsung is only defending itself against a scummy patent bully.

Time to get our heads out of the sand, wake up, and smell the coffee.
Kill the infidels where ever you find them. These good Muslims were only doing what their religion commands them to do.

> Fuck religion, period. Christianity over time has had similar consequences.
Centuries ago.
I am agnostic, but let's face reality. Muslim terrorist acts out-number all other terrorist acts about 10,000 to 1.
20,000 Muslim terrorist acts since 9/11, 250,000 casualties. Modern Christianity does not compare.

This is very typical of MS's MO. They send their execs to work at Nokia, or whatever.

This does not smell right. Windows have suffered far more attacks than Android.
Wonder how big a contribution the Bill and Millenda Gates foundation made to the ACLU?
> Instead lets call the people who do this type of shit what they really are which is "murderers" or "psycopaths".
Do you consider soldiers in war "murderers" or "psycopaths?"
Soldiers for Allah are doing what their religion commands them to do.
> I had to sit through weeks . . .
Really? All that? Compare that to the Watergate scandal reporting which went on for years.
Watergate was just a burglary, nobody was murdered.
The Bengazi cover-up scandal has been swept under the rug by the 90% liberal democrat pop-media.
His propaganda seems to be exactly the same as the propaganda used by all the big techs: IBM, Apple, MS, etc. all say the same thing constantly.
Patent lawsuits are not *always* bullshit. Some lawsuits are completely legitamite.

FYI: Apple did not invent rounded corners.
Apple has been pulling this crap since way before Google even existed.
The history of this lawsuit, and much of Apple's legal shananagins, prove this without a doubt.
Apple is pedatory, and loves to abuse the legal system. Google, not so much.
What does Apple care? Apple has that much spare change under the couch cushions.
