Is this enough to beat the Google search quality edge
Is this a joke?
Google is less likely to bring up unrelated articles when doing research. I'll suffer through ads for better content quicker.
Or better yet, use an ad-blocker.
America's "Broadband" networks are far more profitable than anywhere else in the world.
And in the land of the corporations and the home of the greedy scumbags, isn't that all that matters?
So long as even a single search engine exists, these labels are just wasting everyone's time.
Does anyone honestly care?

I remember the huge fanfare when Firefox 4 came out, we were on 3.x.x for ages.
That was what, 2 years ago now I think? And so now we've since had 17 new "versions", it maybe deserves to be 3, at best.
My point here?/., we don't need an article every time a new version is released. You don't do this with chrome either, and for good reason.
They come out too frequently, with too few changes, and frankly very few people honestly care at this point.

Remember when firefox wasn't trying to complete in some stupid version race, and just tried to be the best browser it could possibly be?
I miss that too.
After all, the company still has a lot of really smart developers and engineers, a whole ton of cash
...and an idiot management team directing it all.
If I've learned anything working for big companies, it's that it doesn't matter how great your grunt workers are, or how great your budget is.
If you have shitty management/leads, you will fail.
I've never been a fan of the "PC Master Race" people, but fuck, the further we go, the more they seem to be technically right.
( I still don't care for their attitudes though:/ )
Consoles used to have the fact they were cheaper going for them, but that's hardly true anymore:/
On top of that, it's Microsoft. You know they're going to port most, if not all, of the games that do well to the Windows OS.
You know, their other product?
People are surprised when I tell them that you're not going to get a car that drives you from A to B, or door to door, in the next 10 years.
Oh really now?
Google has already been testing the cars on the road in Nevada, which passed a law last year authorizing driverless vehicles. Both Nevada and California require the cars to have a human behind the wheel who can take control of the vehicle at any time.
So far, the cars have have racked up more than 300,000 driving miles, and 50,000 of those miles were without any intervention from the human drivers, Google says.
...is to think of one that's even worse.
Works every time, until you hit the bottom.
For me it's either an airhead singing about the end of a work week, or a giant imaginary purple dinosaur singing about how he can't stick to a single lover.
A company gave an honest answer?
I was expecting all of these companies to give bullshit reasons, and Microsoft just straight up said "Oh, lol, cause we can:D"
I'm not disagreeing with that, but I want you to think of the implications of doing such a thing.
Video games are made by companies across the world, sold across the world.
What entity is going to decide what goes in this "bill of rights?"
The US? Japan? The UN?
Plus, if you think for a single second companies aren't going to find an easy way around it, you're naive.
The point is that trying to implement this is a waste of time, effort, and no doubt money.
It is, by far more efficient to show companies you won't put up with their crap by not buying it and/or sending them an email telling them why.
I remember hearing that it was unstable for the first few days, but nothing past that, and NOTHING CLOSE to this much of a backlash.
Granted, I'm not into the series myself, so I'm not 100% sure on that.

Microsoft hasn't been hating on their partners enough lately, too much on their customers.
Thanks for remembering us, Microsoft!

Do you know how many bugs you'd have to raise to make a single hamburger?
It works and gets the job done
In order for my coworkers to make anything that works, the planets have to align

it becomes ever more clear that this is a company hell-bent on innovating first and asking questions later
I'd prefer that over sue/patent first and innovate later, or don't innovate at all, which is the direction most tech companies are headed in.

Another example of the government closing tax loopholes for the common man, but they still won't close the ones that corporations are using.
You appear to have dropped your finger there buddy, gotta be more careful with that!
Lots and lots of yelling at faulty machines.

No, just no.
No one is forcing you to buy the games.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. It's really that simple.
Haha, oh shit, you're right.
Welp, I did pick my username for a reason.
He says a one-hundredth of a cent per e-mail tax could discourage spam
Because the amount people who send snail mail pay has totally stopped them from spamming the shit out of every single person over the years.

Spying on Texas citizens? A-OK.
Spying on Texas businesses? NO WAY
I've seen background processes that take up more than that a month.
