We're in agreement. I wasn't blaming Google Docs for being less compatible with MS Office, just pointing out that it is. That's a reality that has to be addressed in today's business world.
Now, tomorrow's business world...
Google can push their own platform all they want internally, but they can't control the format of documents they receive. I've resorted to installing LibreOffice on my personal system to edit/collaborate/modify Office documents before sending them back. Doesn't work so well in Google Docs.
The problem with virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) display technology rarely has anything to do with graphic limitations of the server.
The problem almost always has everything to do with the technologies that exist to send screen data to the zero/thin/thick client over anything less than a sub-5ms, 1Gbps+ LAN. RDP is trash, VNC is trash, PCoIP is slightly less poopy trash.
Now, could this GPU have some sort of application for, say, the video editing industry, where these client/server systems are quite advanced (but always on said sub-5ms, 1Gbps+ LAN)? Sure.
I'm sure there will be many valid points made about how utterly irresponsible it is to use the same username and password on both your email account and "financial" sites, and also about how terrible Yahoo! is for making very little effort to make amends to their customers whose privacy they clearly don't value... And sure, this lawsuit will likely tie up the court system and waste thousands, possibly millions of taxpayer dollars... And maybe Yahoo! will ultimately be required to send each of those 450,000 users a $10 voucher for food in the Yahoo! cafeteria......but I think we're all missing the elephant in the room here - Yahoo! is still around?

Andromeda is perpendicular to the visible sky from Earth. This new collection of galaxies is parallel to the visible sky from Earth.
Using one as a reference point for the other in four-dimensional space makes little sense to me.

How do I "like" this comment and/or beg for more mod points to be given to it?
I'd love to know how! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to reach for a stupid RSA key while one-hand-surfing in my hotel room?

But a BYOD application? Probably never...

EA is going to counter counter sue you, yo!
Seriously though, doesn't everyone have a DVR?
NBC's online streaming felt like it peaked at 700kbps.
Yup. Beat me to it...
