First of all, Apple makes its own OS and applications while Amazon just uses Android. On top of that Amazon has always tried to keep their price down so they can sell more ebooks. Apple tries to make profit by selling their devices. These two things combined, I don't think the $100 price difference is that much. It's almost surprisingly low.
They do force people to use their advertising platform, tho. Yes that's right, if you use Adwords you are not allowed to use the same ads on competitors advertising platforms. On top of that outright monopoly abuse, Google displays its own service higher than competitors, therefore undermining them.
It's not theoretical, it's the exact reason that companies have been complaining about. Google told companies that they cannot use same ads on competitor services.
Adobe has recently made their full software suite available for a monthly fee. Compared to paying several thousands for the software, you only pay $70 per month. For me that seems much better. If, on the other hand, I would like make longer commitment to Adobe's software, I could buy the whole suite, too!
Doesn't anyone have problem with the full source code being available? I mean if you develop with HTML5 and JS the full source is there. I think companies might have a problem with that.
As you said, not knowing the OS is the problem. However, some things are clearly intended to distance OS X from Windows, while providing no usability improvement. Just the other day, I spent some 45 seconds trying to delete a file the Windows way. First I realized there was no Delete key, which is annoying even if it's not strictly the OS' fault. So I tried backspace, seems like a logical alternative when you want to delete stuff. Nope, so I tried right-clicking and all sorts of weird click+button combinations I could remember.
Only then did I remember that you must absolutely drag files to the trash.
No you don't. Cmd+Backspace deletes them just fine.
Actually, I found some of the webpages in the pics very well done. Let's take for example the burger menu webpage. It's simple, elegant and probably the best done choose what items you want on a burger, just because it's so simple.
This is nothing more than the old wisdom of not dating anyone who is exactly like you. You need someone that shares little same interestst, but who can fullfil things you dont like or do. Yes, you can have one night stands between developers, but then again, majority of female programmers are ugly and insecure as hell, so you might want to get a normal person anyway.
It's just because Sweden has always had quite nerdy population. And good internet access. Even girls use internet over there. Sweden was also always treated as safe haven for such things and when the laws changed, it came crashing down.
You know, it's not always about immediate profit. It takes huge effort to fight in the console market. That's why there is only three of them. Microsoft has been really successful in that regard and they keep opening avenues for new products and keep gaining market share in the old ones.
Gates and Ballmer might lack the young vision they once had, but on the other hand they're been a stable successful company for decades. Windows and Office isn't going to be losing their market share and that is the main line of products for Microsoft.
Remember that innovations usually come from small startups which then get bought by the large corporations. Google does this same, ie Google Earth is really Keyhole, inc's product.
However, Baengnyeong Island hosts a joint US-South Korea military intelligence base and the US Navy SEALS operate out of the base. In addition, four U.S. Navy ships were in the area, part of the joint U.S-South Korean Exercise Foal Eagle, during the sinking of the Cheonan. An investigation of the suspect torpedo's metallic and chemical fingerprints show it to be of German manufacture. There are suspicions that the US Navy SEALS maintains a sampling of European torpedoes for sake of plausible deniability for false flag attacks. Also, Berlin does not sell torpedoes to North Korea, however, Germany does maintain a close joint submarine and submarine weapons development program with Israel.
The presence of the USNS Salvor, one of the participants in Foal Eagle, so close to Baengnyeong Island during the sinking of the South Korean corvette also raises questions.

With the rise of OS X Windows is no longer relevant.
Nobody was talking about Kickstarter the site. He just said he got some money to kickstart the project.
Sort of.. The summary is already behind (when story went live) as the jump is happening at the moment.

you mad?
Isn't it good that the government is transparent?
The whole thing seems like lots to do. I would just grab a beer and call it a day.

It's the most fun a guy can have with one hand.

It makes a great difference when you're traveling elsewhere. Oh right, US people...
Everywhere else but the U.S...
Charlie and Dino sounds like some kids adventure movie. What's up with that?

I'm just waiting for them to pick up the pace like Chrome and Firefox did. HTML 38, here we come!

Government regulation is like violence. If little doesn't help, use more of it.
Is that you, Kim Jong-un?

or about .74 cents per gig
Wow, $0.0074 per GB! That's cheap!
I trusted you Google. I trusted you to be better than this. You weren't.
Anyone want to suggest any other search engines?
