Considering that Kaspersky grew up and lived under Soviet Russia Communist rule, his statement is surprising - unless he is part of the old boy apparatchiki network. But, yeah, he can go bugger himself sideways with a stiff wire brush.
Comparing Palm's WebOS development environment (a "1") to the Windows Mobile SDK (a "5") or the iPhone SDK (a "9") is like comparing a kids tricycle to a top-of-the line motorcycle from Honda or BMW.
Ok, ok, "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8192" to wipe every bit of Microsoft cr*p that was on the hard drive in the system that you got from Dell/HP/whoever. The sentiment is the same - wipe the Microsoft byproducts off the face of your HD platters.
I still don't get what the fuss is about slow boot times. My three year old Dell Inspirion 6400 latop with a 160GB 5400 RPM 2.5" SATA drive goes from power off (NOT standby) to Windows XP desktop in 14 seconds. What are you people doing wrong?
There is actually an entity in the world that has more current information about you and your activities than anyone else. They have all your emails, your calendars, your documents, your locations, your voice mails, your credit card numbers, your search queries and who knows what else. They've suckered everyone in by providing these services for free and claiming to "do no evil". The name of The Beast is Google.
By that definition Apple should be calling their products the "iPhone 3GS HD" and "iPod touch HD" since they too can output "HD" video via an "optional dock".
Data Liberation engineering manager Brian Fitzpatrick, uses a good analogy... you cannot take all of your things with you
This a bad analogy. When you move your stuff out of your apartment, you are actually removing the stuff - not making copies. With Google The Evil (tm), you have no guarantee that they haven't stashed a "backup" somewhere in their dark recesses. You don't really take your stuff, you just make a copy.

Ask yourself, does anyone know your game even exists among the 99,999 other games on the App Store?
The App Store's #1 success is also it's #1 failure -- it is frickin' hard to find the golden needle in over 125,000 haystacks.
Then how did they get through law school? Daddy's money and connections bought them the law degree?
In fewer words, all Adobe is doing is greatly reducing the bar for 'developers' to put even more crap on far more devices. No frikkin' thanks.
If you think that Google is not already working on something like that, you're naive
And it will be in beta for at least five years...
If you sketch a big circle and two hands, will it come up with goatse?
Some 'Canadian' ISPs, such as PEER1, are actually based out of the US.
Throws a bit of a monkey wrench into the caving in to a law from a foreign country...

Why the "Format C:"
Ok, ok, "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8192" to wipe every bit of Microsoft cr*p that was on the hard drive in the system that you got from Dell/HP/whoever. The sentiment is the same - wipe the Microsoft byproducts off the face of your HD platters.
customers have a way of figuring out how to pay the least amount of cash possible to use Microsoft's software
Yes. It's "Format C:" followed by installing some flavor of Linux and Open Office.
Google "iPhone jailbreak" and then "cydia store". You can then put all the crap that you want on your iPhone.

Dear Google,
Bringing Digg to the whole Internet is NOT a Good Thing.
- The Internet
Yes, but does it allow you to run the exact same virtual machine image on a big honkin' server, a desktop, laptop and a Mac? Didn't think so...
For the last time, going from Vista to XP is an upgrade. Look up the definition of "upgrade" sometime.
Piping it to /dev/sda would be even better...
...an NSA text-mining system...

that shiny brown turd
Fixed it for you...
You blew it! You could have been FP with Godwin's Law and called them (UK) a bunch of Nazis.
Have you actually seen what it takes to upgrade the memory in some netbooks?

The Greed Factor.
Apple wants you to buy an iPhone to get a (crappy) camera. Despite all the rumors, I don't see an iPod touch with a camera in the near future.
