Faster than the 90s, sure, but "once a year we'll maybe update our browser with a handful of things that mostly don't do with web standards" is too slow for 2015.
In what way are the interfaces "dumbed down"?
Can you give an example of an application(s) UI that has been negatively affected for the sake of making it "'beautiful' for the touch UI"?

Both Mac OS and iOS have been free (as in beer) for quite some time.
HINT: Even if you give the OS away for free, you make up the cost from the programs in your store.
I don't understand why people want to block regular banner ads... I think John Oliver gave a really good summary of the problem with sponsored content AKA native advertising:
Reddit is hypocritical, sure. They shouldn't allow any of it, or all of it and face the music. I'm in favor of the first. Away with all those haters. Let them set up their own site where they can spew their venom.
Sounds like you're hating on haters and as such should be banned/censored.
and until we're able to have a parallel Earth and tell everyone on one Earth "pollute all you want" and the other Earth "don't pollute at all" and leave it for many years it never will be settled.
Why do people STILL refuse to vote for anything but a repug or demoncrat? Just keep this shit up, voting R or D and you'll keep getting more and more tyranny.
Oh, was a magical third Bush term going to make this any better? Or a McCain or Romney administration?
Considering that R-Money recognized the difference between a state-run healthcare law and a federal-run healthcare law as a constitutional issue, I think he would have done much better in respecting the balance of power, rather than Barrack "Fuck the Constitution, Fuck the legislature, Fuck the courts, I'm in charge here, eat my shit in the form of Executive Orders" Obama.
R-Money recognized that before becoming President.
The bigger issue that GP is pointing out is that candidates (of any party) say one thing while running, then do something different once in office.
While I agree the end result is buggy at best, I've never gotten something that "pops up in [my] face every time I try to do something". It's simply a little icon on the right side of the awesomebar.
That's a dumb argument. I asked you why you would spend $50 for shit like Angry Birds, as the context of the initial comment was:
Put more than 2 hours of content in your game. Your game sucks. Sell your game for $2 and lobby Skype to not refund games costing less than $2 or something.
I suggested a low price for low-content games, and you come back talking about
So, because you prefer an epic gaming experience, all other gaming forms should be ignored?
Would you pay $50 for shit like Angry Birds?
Angry Birds *is* 1/10 the price of what I said. Would you pay $50 for it?
No?
Then maybe these fly-by-night, valueless, contentless game providers should sell their games for $5 and not $50, instead of expecting us to pay $50 for shit like Angry Birds.
Your entire line of argument has been stupidity, up to and including ignoring a propositional question ("Would you pay $50 for shit like Angry Birds?") and instead treating it as a declaration ("Angry Birds is like $50, why would you pay that much for something with so little content?").
I never said any of those things, aside from the last one, you're thinking of Immerman.
Immerman never mentioned "$50" nor "Angry Birds" so I'm not sure where you go them from anyway.
It could be games that are less than $50 and larger than Angry Birds (but not the large epics you originally cite) would be affected by this.
Just because something isn't $2 doesn't automaticaly make it $50, nor does something not being one of the games you cite make it Angry Birds.
What's in it for Microsoft, when the upgrades are free?
As AmiMoJo says above. The Windows Store. The more people running Windows 10, the more people using the Windows Store, the more people using the Windows Store, the more money for Microsoft there.
Similar to how the console manufacturers (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and when they were making hardware, Sega) sell their console at a LOSS because they may up for it in selling games.
Yeah it couldn't be that Microsoft is doing this to increase Windows 10 adoption in the first year since IT departments don't upgrade within that time and for the most part consumers only upgrade their version of Windows when they get a new computer (in which case they would be 'paying' for the copy). No that all makes too much sense, it must be something much more nefarious.
I don't think they understand that they are free to publish whatever they want... but we are also free to ignore/cut up/block the stuff we don't want. I call that a win. If it means a bunch of publishers go out of business and the internet gets less commercial, I'm fine with that too.
And the ones that don't go out of business are behind a paywall. I welcome that endgame because then self-entitled millennials can no longer hide behind the veil of "ads are bad for privacy/performance" as an excuse to get content for free.

Pretty much how liberals take over any place.
or Conservatives.
Just a different list of things you can/can't do.

STEM fields are unfair towards women, we want special treatment!
Oh, we're getting special treatment now? That's unfair towards women!
No, the correct analogy would be that you took a digital picture of the groceries and left. They still have their groceries.
I wasn't aware that a digital picture of groceries had the same nutritional value as the groceries themselves.
you're quoting a chart based on BMI.. BMI is wrong, stop using it.
At least ask for permission first, otherwise you might get sued.

He answered your question in the video. Content is something people want to have, but don't want to pay for.
If it gets really popular, how long until sites remove ads altogether and instead switch to paywalls?

Settled? Hardly...

Because it's been one vote per person for a while.

Now it looks like a bureaucratic corporation struggling to have enough revenue pay for the perks of its executives.
Or enough revenue to pay its general employees since every time they try to do any sort of monetization, people throw a hissy fit.

What exactly is the solution to that mindset?
He is releasing it for free to increase adoption, though only for the first year. Seems like he "gets it".

Phones with a better ability to leverage integrated storage
What does that even mean?
Using an SD card for GBs of 10-bit anime and sideloaded APKs all gotten totally legitimately

I didn't actually expose my genitals to that child, all I did was arrange the zipper on a pair of pants I own in a particular way.
