Yes they concluded that it was a false statement, while completely ignoring the fact that the victim and the victims father corroborated his story. Not that any of this excuses his actions in the slightest.
There was no decision, it was a settlement. Quit acting like Microsoft came out the winner on this one. All they got was a shitty domain and a huge PR black eye. Mike Rowe, on the otherhand got a bunch of things from MS and after donating the majority of his legal defense fund he had enough left over to pay for University.
Bad argument in the Mikerowsoft case as they settled and it did not go to court. In the end Mike Rowe won, it was Microsoft that walked away with the black eye. They origianlly offered him $10, in the end he got Microsoft to pay all of the expenses that Rowe had incurred including setting up a new site at and redirecting traffic to MikeRoweforums.com. Additionally Microsoft provided Rowe with a subscription to the Microsoft Developer Network, an all expenses paid trip for him and his family to the Microsoft Research Tech Fest at their headquarters in Redmond, Washington, training for Microsoft certification and an Xbox with a selection of games.
Anti-virus is basically useless now, they don't update enough, virus writers test to make sure they can bypass them. How often do you see a machine with Symantec or McAfee installed completely pwned by viruses. Windows Defender (the built in av for windows 8) is probably enough as long as you surf smart.
Rally, I don't see any reviews saying anything like the hardware is crap. Actually most like the hardware, they just see no use for the design. If the hardware is crap then so is every other ultrabook out there.
Please show me the ultrabook that gets 10 hours of battery life. Hell show me the laptop with an intel (not atom) chip that gets 10 hours. The only laptops I have seen that give that kind of life all have to use an extended battery that ruins their form factor and adds quite a bit of weight.
Well since the Supreme Court does NOT agree with you I will state that no Abortion is not murder and also state that you know this and are making a bullshit argument.
Why do you think the Surface Pro is not a real PC. It has all the components of one. I can hook up an external CD and reinstall it if I want. Hell I could probably put linux on it if I wanted to make it less useful.
Actually, every review I have read has said it stays quite cool. But what do I know, I just went around and did some research instead of spouting off complete nonsense.

Because of these exact issues we are currently moving our mail back in house this year.

Too bad you can't trademark your name. Without a trademark he has very little standing in WIPO.
How is the surface pro a netbook?
How many netbooks have an i5 processor, how many have a touch screen, and how many have a wacom digitizer?

non-portable???? since when is 1.5 lbs not portable. Shit, most laptops weigh more then this thing so I guess they are not portable either.
Excuse me, I was under the impression we were talking about the surface PRO, not the RT, maybe you jumped on the wrong article.

I am just wondering why we are calling a company software. MarkMonitor is not a piece of software it is a company specializing in brand protection.
Yes that was the Bush policy, except you couldn't see a lawyer and you would never actually get a trial (maybe a military tribunal aka kangaroo court)

When the supreme court weighs in we will see if those appointments are illegal.
>Jobs died and (unlike Gates) didn't get the chance to "redeem" and paint over his previous asshole-ishness.
Jobs knew he was sick for years. He never showed the slightest desire to seek redemption.
The question was can YOU install an OS on your DVD player. Not does it have an OS.

There's the jobs bill they promised us a year ago.
Mine is running fine. But yeah the 1st gen XBox 360s had a design flaw. But MS resolved it where as HP just discontinued it.
Actually, every review I have read has said it stays quite cool. But what do I know, I just went around and did some research instead of spouting off complete nonsense.
That around 90% of the comments here will be from MS haters coming to bash something they have yet to see. For reasons they can only poorly describe.
Because your bank isn't using it, that means no corp will. Is that your point?
>In United States, several larger companies seem to be doing quite well acting for the politicians and sometimes for the shareholders (in that order).
I thought it was always for the shareholders. I don't see a lot of corps acting for the politicians, it's almost always the other way around.
