Not quite. There are three segments (besides the "I'll just look at my phone" segment):
People who want to tell accurate time. These are served by digital quartz watches, the higher end ones synchronize with time transmissions every night.
People who want something which is more than just another piece of consumer electronics and will actually retain some value over a long period. (And doesn't look like a cheap piece of shit, like most digital watches, regardless of their price, do) This is the market for mechanical watches - which while nowhere near as exact as a digital watch are good enough if regularly set. Analog quartz watches also fit in here, to a lesser extent.
People who want a smartwatch, for whatever reason. Problem is, they still mostly look like crap, aren't exactly cheap and aren't really more accurate than a regular quartz watch.
Must they absolutely advertise their bugs before they're fixed? Nothing wrong with being open after it's been patched, but this is like "Hey, we tried to fix a bug and failed, so you can totally go check our non-fix to figure out how to exploit this!"
It's not funny, they did almost the exact same thing when overnight everything stopped charging via the firewire pins on the dock connector, leaving most docks unable to charge iStuff without adapters.
OneNote 2013 is now free, so there's no reason not to upgrade.
As for equations, just hotkey the Office equation editor - it even accepts a lot of LaTeX syntax - which is a lot more intuitive than most shortcuts from that add-on.
Well, a tablet with a digitizer (Think Surface Pro) can do pretty much all sorts of notetaking typically done with pen and paper. It helps organization immensely.
Agreed. OneNote is perfect for note-taking. With compatible hardware (tablet with N-trig or Wacom digitizer) you can even get the best handwriting experience this side of paper. Naturally, it works just as well with keyboard+mouse.
The Windows Desktop version (which is the only one I regularly use) has some pretty random bugs when drawing shapes with the built-in tools (it may be limited to high-DPI displays, though, since it looks like a bad coordinate transformation - and it only happens occaisonally), but is otherwise stable.
Like all Office applications, it might be good to spend an hour or two learning the ropes instead of diving right in.
Nuclear is cleaner than any fossil fuel, properly managed. Overall, despite the accidents, nuclear's impact has been a lot smaller than that of fossil fuels.
Unfortunately, accidents aren't seen as an opportunity to learn and eliminate old flaws, but to halfheartedly dump the whole thing, leaving behind ancient designs with known flaws instead of new, safer designs.
They sold their product under a contract that clearly specified the support period, which was then repeatedly extended at no cost to anyone who bought XP.
Windows XP is archaic by modern standards. Yes, some people have to use it or buy new scientific/industrial/medical equipment, but that can hardly be blamed on Microsoft.
When you last bought any piece of electronics or machinery, did it come with implied free support for all eternity? No, you got a well defined warranty period and beyond that you are expected to pay up. Same here.
Supporting XP this long is anything but abuse. They were under no obligation to support it by the time 7 came out (two years past the next release, which is longer than 5 years).

My Casio does all that, except that I have to tell it which time zone I'm in. It's not an inherent advantage.
Mass deployment of nuclear power could almost completely replace fossil fuels in half that time.
The only application which would require somewhat more work is airplane propulsion, where it's hard to match Jet-A
Or a few minutes, depending on just how edible the thing is...

You should definitely add some sarcasm mark to that, or people might take you seriously.

The conclusion is that whoever wrote that has little to no idea what a logarithm is.
You should be ashamed of yourself, calling accountants and (likely) MBAs monkeys...
Do you have any idea how much it depresses monkeys to be compared to such creatures?
Even if you had to absolutely use OneDrive with OneNote, what's the big deal? You don't have to use it for anything else (but you should, it's good).

For some reason, the grudge lives on. It wasn't that great a pissing off either, just your average banana republic tactics.
Compared to North Korea, Cuba is a beacon of democracy and human rights. They're just a banana republic that pissed off the wrong people.
They don't really need to design them to last that long, considering they typically refuse to honor their warranties anyway.
Then they wonder why their laptops don't sell...
Didn't they invest in Tesla a while back, including a joint venture for the electric B-class?
I'd mod you up, but the ifs are out of place.
There's no "if", it's happening right now.

If you have an example that proves otherwise, feel free to share and enlighten those of us who naïvely expected some informative/insightful comments.

I wouldn't put it past him.
Bullshit fantasy, most likely.
That effect is minimal and would never account for such a large difference.
