Can you? This article was predicting they'd be on sale in less than five years, and was written over four years ago. They appear to be a little behind schedule. Their website (http://www.gen4energy.com/) still talks about everything as being still on the drawing board; no mention of actual deployment or any target dates or milestones.
What the devil was he supposed to do? "Gee, I guess Apple is right. Time to pack in one of our biggest money-makers and the product my entire job is centered around and admit it isn't any good any more." He needed to make the strongest case possible for Flash and since the iPhone had declared Flash worthless and anybody using an iPhone would, by definition, *not* be using Flash, his only alternative was to bash the iPhone.
He's not a true believer; he's just somebody who used to have a job that involved keeping the true believers happy and trying to recruit more.
The US is currently spending 10x the next ten countries on it's military
Boy, argument is easy when you can just make up your own facts as needed. This is, of course, not even remotely true. Yes, the US outspends everybody else on military matters by a good margin (41% of the world's military spending in 2012 was US). But not by this amount. In fact, the next ten countries together spend almost as much as the US.
Democratic does not necessary equal right, or just, or fair.
'When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world â" "No, you move."'
...to make people feel good. Because if you make people *feel* like they're helping to solve the problem, it doesn't matter at all that they're actually making it worse! Once you understand this, many Green policies start to make considerably more sense.
Compare the number of people alive who have eaten a Twinkie to the number of people alive who have even ever *seen* a Pyrenean Ibex. So which one is more relevant to most people?
If all makers cheat equally, comparisons are still meaningful.
But since the makers don't share notes on cheating techniques, they will *not* all cheat equally. Comparisons are thus just telling you who is best at cheating.
Anyone who refuses to see that your opinions are the only morally correct ones is insufferably arrogant? Yes, that is generally the most usual definition.

The pope has always been the Bishop of Rome. It's difficult to deny that Peter was the first Bishop of Rome. Whether that makes him the first Pope can be a matter for debate, however. Part of it is how inerrant you believe the Bible really is: there's reason to believe that the "Upon this rock I shall build my church" verse in the Bible was inserted by those wishing to bolster the Papacy's claims.
Why does network transparency have to be a function of the display system?
Because if you have network transparency in the display system then all your applications get network transparency for free. They just talk to the display system like they always do and the display system throws them up anywhere you're connected to, as you like.

Whether or not it is a good thing becomes moot when there is no practical way to stop it. And in five or ten years there *will* be no practical way to stop it.

The fact that you refuse to look at it doesn't change the fact that it's still what most people use.
No, most people do *not* use it. Most people use Flash. That was his point.

You mean like the complete waste that is Earth Hour?
So they had to count them all, then.
Thundercats, ho!

What do you mean, no synergy? They're both *boxes*! Next up, they're going to acquire the Xbox.

Well, it's about time they put somebody from the new generation in. Fresh blood and all that.

Which is, of course, exactly the outcome Microsoft is looking for.
