According to Netcraft, about 30% of servers run Windows/IIS...
...and those servers serve only 11% of active (not parked) web sites, implying that the average Linux server handles roughly - um - 3.5 times as many active sites as the average Windows server. No wonder there is a brand preference.
You'll be waiting a long time I'm afraid. QWERTY phones aren't coming back.
I'm hanging on to mine (Desire Z). After replacing the battery (ahem) it looks like there are years more life left in it. Sure, I also have a slab-only phone and these days I carry it most of the time, but when I travel the Desire Z with full keyboard is generally more useful by being much faster at communcating.
Why does the Linux Foundation force its website visitors to submit a form before they can read this report?
The LInux Foundation is pretty much out of touch with the community, it is basically just a self appointed manager circle jerk. Not understanding basic open source etiquette is a clear demonstration of that.
...It's a psychological barrier, not a technical one....
Spoken with supreme confidence by someone who has evidently never touched a line of kernel code. I can assure you that it is in fact a technical barrier.
...we can all believe that the 31.6 billion dollars his foundation has GRANTED since inception internationally is not much of a personal sacrifice in relative terms...
You're a bit confused. That is somewhat close to the amount the foundation was _endowed_ with, but actual grants are not remotely close to that. Skeptics point out that the foundation smells like a gigantic tax dodge... the money remains under Bill Gates' control with not a cent of tax paid on it.
So you most probably overestimate your ability in power management. Think about what might be necessary to achieve a win from sprint-to-power-save, and why the phone you own might not implement that. Think about the whole system.
You don't need the newest generation of gear to do what you've always done. You can use the newest generation of gear to take photographs that you wouldn't have taken before.
The step up to 20mp+ full frame is really watershed, nobody will fail to notice the difference vs generations just 5 years ago.
When I do lug my DSLR around (which is often) I always have my (fairly respectable) smartphone too. I _never_ take a shot with the smartphone when the DSLR is at hand. If it's a real shot that is, not just somebody's license plate in a fender bender or something. A decent holster case makes a world of difference.
A pro DSLR will catch the moment in 200 ms or less. Anybody who ever did baby shots will tell you that your phone is great for taking shots of your baby a second or two after they did something interesting. Plenty of great shots of back of baby's head.
Keep in mind that the power management software in your phone may suck and fall short of achieving all the efficiencies that the hardware is capable of. BTW, it is not necessary to lecture me about power curves, far from it.

There is such a thing as a cool dev? (speaking as a dev)

Teach them to respect the law, just like Bill Gates
hmm... "Details of which have been lost over time"... hmm...
If you want to kick somebody's butt about it, aim in the general direction of Qualcomm, not marketing but engineering.

Video resolution is readily distinguishable from photo quality. If you don't care about that then go for it.
"Cameras don't take pictures, photographers take pictures."
A great musician playing on a honkytonk can't make it sound like a Steinway.
Do they even make f/8 lenses?
Most ultrazooms will be in that range at the long end.
Is the one you have with you at the time you need to take a picture.
...If you really enjoy wallowing in a sense of regret as you review the shots that is...

...the longevity of the equipment keeps increasing. I'm currently shooting with a 5D Mark II...
The Mark III completely and utterly devastates the Mark II, so does the 6D.
Most people just want to mash a button and get a picture. Phones give them that.
So does the 5D, just leave the mode dial on "green".
I have some great photos I took with my phone. Whenever I look at them, I feel a twinge of regret that I didn't take them with the DSLR instead.

Really, the only thing my SLR does better than my phone is Optics...
Hah hah, nice joke, will you be here all week? Shutter lag, just for starters...

Canon has me pegged, they _know_ I need the 5D S :)
You posted about your S3 in response to an article headlining the 5D S? I guess you won't be publishing your work in a magazine...
"Right, my ghetto blaster sounds great there's no way I need to spend $2k a side on studio monitors* a side."
* Cheap ones.
EEs are famous for thinking they have a clue about software :)
Right, you own a phone so you're an expert :)
