This has been a recurring theme for a while. "Everyone hates these changes, so everyone will go places that are not facebook." If it happens, great. I just don't think it will. The vast majority will just settle down and get used to the new interface.
So how would windows update work? Any update that modified the system files would have to modify the bootloader to imprint the new hashes, which would then in turn would have to modify UEFI, which would have to modify the loader, which can't be modified. Any change to the system at all would cause the boot-up to fail.
So there must be some part of that chain that CAN be modified, or else windows system updates would not work at all.
Hmm... This is really disturbing... If it's true. Though like most of the other protection windows tries to put on their operating systems, I doubt this will be as strong as it's meant to be. I suspect it will be cracked a few months after coming out.
As sad as that is, it's true. People are much more impressed by higher version numbers. They should just come out and say the next version is version 11. Or infinity...
I'm gonna guess you've never been in a relationship, at least not a healthy one. If my gf wants to use firefox, that's what she'll use. And if she has an issue with it then I'll see if I can fix it. I might recommend she use something else, but I'm certainly not going to force her (not that it would work anyway) and I'm happy to at least try to fix her problems.
Seriously though, how would you prove that? The employer could say "we didn't think he would fit in", which is something that you can't really prove or disprove without the full cooperation of the employer (and why would they cooperate if they don't want you anyway?).
Is that entirely possible? I know in the case of FB, and I think google+ as well, you can lock down what is posted on your wall, but it's nigh impossible to lock down what you post on other's walls (including comments), since those are up to the privacy settings of the person to whom you are replying or posting. Like I could have my profile locked down tight, but if I have a friend who has opened his to the public, anything I post on his wall or any comment I make on his posts will be open to the world.
I think that's fine for a basic office worker (though not being popular with your coworkers prevents cohesion with the group and may impact production), but imagine if you're an executive of some company and you get arrested for some crime? That reflects back upon the company you work for, and I think in that case, since the company is directly impacted, some sort of discipline should be enacted.

So you don't know what it means either? That's a bummer. I've seen the phrase on /. a bunch of times and I have no idea what it represents.
That still doesn't explain why kool aid...
And did he?
It's not delusional.... HTML 5 isn't finished. Several parts of the spec are still being worked out, and several are not supported in major browsers.
As an aside, what on earth does kool aid have to do with anything?
I think as long as you can prove it was prior art it shouldn't matter if it's public or private. Then again I don't know for sure.
But corporations are people....

WGA was supposed to do the same thing. Didn't take long before that was cracked too.
Will it even be possible to update the keys on the mobo? (I haven't read TFA so I dunno if it's mentioned there).

But won't they have to rewrite their plugins to use the Addon SDK ;)
But Chrome still starts up faster?
You know that IS interesting to note. We could have won the space race with the USSR just by patenting spaceship boosters...
Have they actually ruined skype? I haven't noticed any differences so far.
To you. Who knows what it sends upstream?
But the power companies cannot.
It's possible to prevent people from tagging you in pictures. I'm not sure if this stops the autotagger though.
I suspect if someone has a salary that high they probably don't have that much debt.

In my case, my SN profile(s) are locked down.
