I have a Samsung Focus, I got an update notification this morning. I performed my update and everything was fine. All I see is a few people either didn't wait for the thing to complete or whatever and the microsoft bashing ensured
Because hardware changes over time. Example: Department buys a newer better printer, but people using a linux desktop can't use it for printing because there are no drivers for it.
I think there is a huge bubble in some tech sectors, especially mobile. There is huge money being dumped into this sector but I see little ROI in the end.
if that's what the Australian government wants, who are you to complain? Haven't other governments mandated use of other open source software? what did we turn into effing communists? let them use what they want.
Again, if a bank pays you interest they will inform authorities if their laws require them to do so. From what I can tell swiss banks are not required so they don't. It's a legislation issue not a privacy one.
Neither of which requires the government to know how much money you have in your bank account. The only time you get flagged for an audit is when someone reports they gave you money and you don't show that money earned on your tax filing. If swiss banks don't report it's hardly an indication of a crime (or reason to leak personal information about others).
I'm not saying people don't hide money or don't pay taxes on money that the earned but the government can usually tell through other means that you earned x amount of money and misreported it. If IBM pays you 100k to do contracting work and you report you only made 5k that year that's a red flag to get audited. It has nothing to do with your bank account.
What does having a bank account have to do with taxes? Taxes are supposed to be about the money you earn, not the money you have. Funny how this is turning out.
I liked both of them and treat them as separate movies. why does one have to be better than the other, they were both really good. And to comment on the topic, the reason is faulty, I think it's just Ridley's copout instead of saying he's just tired of the franchise.
No it's the feedback to microsoft. Basically what happens is sometimes the phone will get into a state where it crashes a lot. So when it crashes it reboots and sends data, then it crashes again and reboots and sends data.
I observed this the other day when the phone was rebooting every 2-3 mins, after a restart all the apps I was using would still be there (IE, etc) but a few mins later reset. A battery pull was the best way to properly stop it from constantly crashing. Somehow if your phone has feedback enabled, i can see how it would end up sending extreme amounts of feedback data to microsoft.
1. The PVP segment is loud but very small and not loyal, that's why many pvp mmos have failed, see WarHammer
2. Nobody loves grinding. In my original post I said leveling and questing works when it is story driving, when the game reaches a point where all you have to do is kill lots and lots of mobs just for the sake of leveling it turns into a grind. Nobody loves that. Nobody. I wasn't talking about end game.
3. That's why WoW is still the King.
4. What trend? That's the whole point of playing an mmo, this is related to my pvp comment. Normally when I want to kill people I roll over to FPS games.
I've tried many mmos, but sadly they all tend to do exactly what everyone hates about WoW.
- I don't want a pvp MMO - I don't want to grind x pointless levels, if there's no story to fill 80 levels don't make 80 levels. - I want story driven mmo play - I want better group play than what wow offers.
Almost all the alternative mmos I tried are either grind fests, pvp garbage or not story driven in the slightest. The only one that came close was "Vindictus" and that lasted about 25 levels before it turned into a grind, the story driven and group play aspects were very strong though.
I don't buy this logic. If truth should be free then it should not be held hostage as someones insurance, or for attention whoring.. if truth should be free then release all of it now or you're a hypocrite like everyone else.

Your numbers are totally off. Apple sold 40million last year. Windows Phone 7 came out mid october 2010!

why would you think they would not come after you on wp7?
You know the first thing people ask them when they buy a computer?
"Does it come with MS Office?"
Mojo kid may be annoyed but the vast majority of consumers who pay money for these computers don't expect to come with nothing.
Maybe.. she's an entertainer pretending to be a politicans, infact did you know people PAY to hear the dumbest woman on the earth speak?
You could avoid using facebook altogether.
one step at a time.
If microsoft was doing what google is attempting to do we would all be screaming bloody murder

I've always wondered why satellites don't have a self destruct mechanism? Blow it up, burns up in orbit, problem solved?
They do see it and they constantly invest in new things.. if one bothered to research, something which the writer of this article clearly did not.
I've seen some crazy predictions about mobile lately, common sense says it's a bubble.

what part of the word 'politics' didn't you understand?
I wish software developers would stop playing politics with software and just deliver products that work
