You know that you can run Microsoft Office 2007 in Wine, right? It works very well and I have never had any problems with it on Linux. You just have to install a few extra things, but thats fairly easy with wine-tricks. I do a fair amount of things in it for school.
I haven't tried Microsoft Office 2010 yet though, so its hard for me to say if it works or not.
I would definitely agree with you on that Apple products are here to stay, they will always have a little niche. I'm just saying that Android is getting more and more popular to the point where it is very close to out selling the iPhone. Basically they are head and head right now if I understand correctly, its just that Android is moving up faster.
If you look at table two it says "Worldwide Smartphone Sales to End Users by Operating System in 2Q10 ". You will notice that iOS says "14.2%" for world share, and Android says "17.2%" for world share. Last I checked 17.2 > 14.2...;)
Bah! just you wait till I get my UPS fitted into my back pack, along with my desktop and then a tray kind of like thing for my monitor, keyboard and mouse. Oh wait... you would still beat me in battery life... but mine would some much more awesome!
Sure they might know it from their handhelds, but will look at Opera as *just* a mobile browser that they wouldn't want to use on their regular computer. Most people don't even understand that smartphones, handhelds, and consoles are computers just like their laptop/desktop computer.
I am red-green colour blind and it is probably the most annoying thing in the world when someone asks me "What colour is this?" over and over again. And when I get them right they automagically think I am lieing to them despite the fact that an optometrist who has gone to college for 8ish years tells me that I have colour vision deficiency. Colour vision deficiency is also considered to be the proper term and tends to help people understand it better as they see that it is a deficiency vs. a "blindness". There are people who are truly colour-blind. These people have a condition that is called Achromatopsia.
Also, to my understanding someone who have colour vision deficiency has all three colour receptors. Its just that one of them is going to be mutated so that something like green would simply get shifted to the red part of the vision spectrum. So, the green receptor would still be there, just not in a fully functional form. The amount of functionality it has will vary from person to person.
Well, if you read the *fine* article you would know that this is a proxy torrent site. The torrenting isn't done on your phone, its done on Imageshack's servers. After its done downloading from their then you can download it on your home connection.
So it would be rather useful for people to be able to do this because if they think of a linux iso *wink* that they want to download while on the run they can do it with the torrent proxy and download the finished copy at your home.
I would think that it might be more useful to try and incorporate something with dropbox with this. For example, you could have a script set up to look for.torrent files in your Dropbox folder that would be ran when you are gone and check for updates every 10-15 minutes (or so). If it detected a new.torrent file it would then start up your favorite BitTorrent client and start the download of that.torrent. This way it would be downloaded straight to your computer right away and you wouldn't have to worry about the middle man (Imageshack).
I thought the name of this site was "Bash-On-Microsoft-No-Matter-How-Far-You-Have-To-Take-It" . Afterall they are the cause of all evil in this World, aren't they?
>>>"Commercial software that gets pirated has no open source replacement of the same quality.. or people would simply use that instead."
I would have to disagree with that as its not that simple. I know plenty of people that have pirated versions of Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007, when OpenOffice would often be better suited for them. They pirate the commercial version because that is all that they know of, before I ever mentioned anything to them about OpenOffice they never had even heard of it. Most consumers are simply not educated about alternatives that are free.
The next they are going to want to do is go to trial over anything that starts with 'i". Sooner or later all of the iPolice are going to be coming to knock on your door to insure that you still believe in Lord Jobs.

O rly? This says things a bit differently

I would like to know if the video chat for android will actually work over 3G (or 4G) then in comparison to the iPhone only working over wifi.
Umm... Android is actually outselling iOS... I'm rather curious to see where you got that info from.
But how many lightyears will it take to cook?

Is that why all open source software is considered evil by big companies?

Actually, I'm fairly certain that Nokia (Symbian) would be in first place there for world wide usage.Smartphones They even have a pie chart....
And thats only if you hold it *just* right...

How do we know there wasn't a microphone on it to record conversations?

At my school we have a ton of problems using Microsoft's GP to do changes. A lot of the win 7 tablets that we have don't like to take changes with GP.
It should really be the HTML5 center.

Didn't the makers of World of Goo (2Dboy) basically go bankrupt since they made so little money on the game?
No, I think you must have been mistaken with Cnet.

People are always looking to blame someone else for their problems or someone else's. Its just human nature.
