Is this a free upgrade for anyone already running WP7?
I guess the name, as silly as it is, makes sense now. Windows Phone is only on phones (as opposed tablets) and gets FREE upgrades. Windows 8 does not.
I should have clarified I felt it was a stupid mentality, thus agreeing with his point. You can't be angry when Company A copies Company B's product, but perfectly okay when Company B copies Company A's product.
If there were absolutely no compatibility issues between Android handsets that would be true.
Sans-Android you would write your app for those 6 OSs With-Android you write for iOS, WP7, BB, and the dozens of different android devices individually.
Yes I was talking about OWS with regards to protesting. So we're in agreement. In order to have a successful protest you need a lot of people, however the more people you have the more likelihood you have the kind of people that shouldn't be protesting. Y U NO TAKE US SERIOUSLY
How about:
There aren't any. For them to even be visible, their campaign funds are bought and paid for by their corporate masters
OWS (and other Occupy) are incredibly large, yet being ignored.
Specifically targeting the violence at the problem (Government) wouldn't be considered terrorism??
You do know that the iPhone isn't exclusive to AT&T anymore, right? And that AT&T wasn't even Apple's first choice? What incentive would Apple have to deliberately limit the iPhone to less people?

Pretty sure iOS 3 -> iOS 4 -> iOS 5 is free.
You were probably referring to desktops, but mobile is a different beast.

why would so many people use an "awful" app?
Maybe they want to read the Something Awful Forums

You either think copying an idea is fine or not.
I forgot I already posted but i wanted to mod you up!
The mentality seems to be this:
Big Guy copies Little Guy = EVIL!
Little Guy copies Big Guy = A OK!
and introduce a host of others
Since there is less and less land, wouldn't that make it more and more valuable?
You could say you bought a hot commodity.

Looks like I may have to try out Fx 4 and see how things go.
You mean Firefox 9.0.1, right? Firefox 4 isn't supported anymore.
Realize that as part of running a business you might have to upgrade software/hardware at least once in seven years.
You could also try Camino

How?
Vote new people in that will just do the same?
Protest and be mocked/ignored?
Violently and instantly be labeled a terrorist?
Good luck with that
Which wasn't part of the original argument, so, yes.
Because manufacturers are more concerned with their branding than they are the customer.
Mine would always be Friday the 13th!
That's a relief, I'm not running MicrosWindows 7oft Windows
You didn't like the rapid release model of Firefox so you switched to Chrome which has had 16 versions in 3 years?
What happens if the manufacturer skips more than one update?
They do release patches, the problem is people keep telling Windows not to update it!
There is a way to opt-out of the upgrade and also to downgrade if you happen to get it.
What do you plan to use otherwise? Chrome does the same thing, so you're stuck with IE and Safari.
IE (9+) and Safari don't show a status bar either, so I guess he'll use Opera?

PNGS are used for more than just rounded corners and gradient backgrounds.
Bandwidth may be increasing, but not caps
I also doubt “Tomorrow‘s Internet” will use Flash
