Any phone OS that has a concept of multiple users is designed by a moron. Phones are personal devices, they are not multi-user systems.
Ask any parent whether their phone is a personal device, and whether they would benefit from a multi-user device that could prevent their kids from messing up their private data or posting accidentally to Facebook by hitting the wrong icon in a game etc.
And remember that Apple still makes tablets too, which are much more likely to be shared devices

I suspect iTunes Radio will be available for every market where there's a local iTunes music store.
I don't know why you would suspect that. Apple has no record of consistency in offering all their services to all markets. They need to negotiate the same licenses with the same companies that Pandora and Spotify do, and they will hit the same obstacles that have held them back.
I'm guessing here, but to be of any use, the KVM would most likely be an IP based one, connected to a server somewhere, which in turn could be traced to the crooks, who like most crooks, were not very sophisticated and didn't think to go through Tor or anonymous hosting in a foreign country.
Make a VM on some desktop machine. Set it to 256meg of ram and a 32gig HD. Install Windows or Linux. Run Chrome or Firefox. Watch how it can view pretty much any site on the net.
Now take your 64gig iPhone/iPad. Try browsing some heavy pages on the net. Watch it crash.
Virtual memory does not stop buggy apps from crashing. You're experiment might be slightly more valid if you used Safari on OS X as the control, but even then there are significant differences in the software that could account for the crashing.
And the main reason for iPhones' non-removable battery becomes apparent. It keeps the market churning over when the advances in technology aren't enough to get people to upgrade.
Except that most people don't give a damn about a removable battery.
They will to give a damn when their phone is 18 months old and no longer holding its charge like it used to, and they realize that progress in smartphones has slowed down and the latest models don't really offer anything new over their current handset, so the hassle of moving everything over to a new phone is not worth it. And they may be locked into a 2 year contract from their last upgrade, so need to wait another 6 months still until they qualify for an upgrade at subsidized prices.
That's [locking] one of the fundamental functions of version control software. No?
Not since 1986, when CVS was introduced to the world. For the frequency that real conflicts happen in the real world merging ends up being less inconvenient than locking, as the latter also gets in the way of work that does not really conflict.
The 5C will have the integrated Chinese radio bands and have the custom firmware that lets the Chinese government spy on you. ( as opposed to the preloaded NSA monitoring in the US;) )
Who are you kidding. The 5S and 5C are both "Designed in California" and "Made in China". Both models will come with both sets of spyware as standard.
What would be more interesting is to take a big enough sample so that the proportion of bitcoins that can be traced to drug purchases can be determined. Is it higher or lower than the proportion of US dollar bills with traces of cocaine on them?
What about the 900 million who can speak mandarin?
Doesn't that need revising now that the Chinese government has admitted that 400 million of them cannot speak it after all? Based on the figures for English, that seems to be counting only first language speakers, so Mandarin should be lower still (Chinese government may call all of China outside of a couple of special administrative regions native speakers, but the reality is very different, and many more will speak it as a second language in addition to the 400 million who cannot speak it).
By not providing first class Office 365 support on Android and iPhone, they are basically guaranteeing themselves the first scenario. If they add in the second scenario, they are getting the worst of both outcomes.
2.) they will stop producing phones (HTC, Samsung, etc.. can install Windows Phonn(e/y) too)
That would kill Windows phone for sure. Samsung, HTC etc are already a bit half-hearted with their Windows Phone offering (I went to half a dozen phone stores at the weekend, all of them carried about a dozen different models of Samsung Android phones, only one shop carried one model of Samsung Windows phone, which looked equivalent to maybe the Galaxy S3 mini). Now that Microsoft has bought Nokia, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them drop what they have entirely - it isn't a good situation for your supplier to be directly competing with you. Yes, Android has that issue too, except that Motorola is not already dominating the Android phone market and doesn't seem to be getting any favours that aren't also available to Samsung.
at least until they add the improved notification APIs in 4.3+, which most apps cannot support unless they want a maximum of 10% of the market for at least a year
Obviously Android could do with a feature like Reflection. If only they'd chosen a language that supported it for their platform.
The accident in Spain happened to a train that was running on the legacy, low speed network. In Europe, high speed lines are built as fullly segregated carefully controlled lines with trains running up to 320 km/h. To keep costs to a reasonable level and to allow more passengers to use it, the trains that run at high speeds on those lines branch off and use the old "classic" lines with the limitations and safety systems used for classic low speed trains. It was running on that old track, that the Spanish crash happened.
Japan plans to do this too with dual gauge trains. I thought they already had them in service in Kyushu, but it seems from Wikipedia they are still in testing. Its a bit more difficult there, since normal JR lines are narrower gauge than Shinkansen (and some private railways), while in Europe almost all railways are using the same gauge.
I hope you entered a random 1-900 number first, before abandoning the registration. They need to get feedback that will make them sit up and notice that people are not happy with their non-privacy policies.
And this is a fundamental problem with religious fundamentalists... they can't handle the fact that scientists can change their minds when fresh evidence emerges.
The people who are not happy, aka Apple and Microsoft who don't have FRAND payments are fighting it, meanwhile charging silly figures for trivial patents.
The funny thing about this statement is if you check the list of FRAND licensors of essential patents for H.264, Microsoft is listed, but Motorola is not.

Android does do multiple users. Finding devices that make use of it may be another matter (perhaps the Nexus 10 and/or Nexus 7?).
Ask any parent whether their phone is a personal device, and whether they would benefit from a multi-user device that could prevent their kids from messing up their private data or posting accidentally to Facebook by hitting the wrong icon in a game etc.

Has he fathered any kids after starting work on the technology? ... didn't think so. You can keep this well away from my testicles buddy.

That's basically what Clearcase is. And why it needs a Clearcase specialist to administer it.

Really? I bought Apple's flagship tablet when it first came out, and have been stuck on an old version of the OS since it was 18 months old.
Your living costs are only cheaper if you disregard the $500 a day spent on train travel to get to work and back.
Nice timing. Fits in with the first run of the Shinkansen in 1964.
