I used to raid hardcore a year ago, I keep asking myself why I did it. At the time it didn't seem that strange or wrong at all but looking back the difficulty is what attracted me to it. I wanted to do something hard and that required some amount of dedication put forth to that task.
Once they made it easy the entire thing seemed pointless and trivial.. so I stopped and never doing that again lol. Well i'm doing that in starcraft 2 now.
I don't like him either. He's more lawyer than marine biologist, he does anything he wants and justifies it (I know it's funny when I say it too) but frankly there's nothing I hate more than running around in circles and WoW is doing exactly that.

Think about it. Microsoft has no tablet because they don't make the hardware. They make the software which allows other smaller companies like Asus, HP, Acer etc to use in their hardware. IE never made them any money instead it brought on tons of headaches and a bad reputation, we should be happy that it is dying.. not sad. Their money makers are windows, xbox, office etc.. none of which are mentioned in the article.
It's like saying Intel is dying.. oh wait I saw that the other day too!
wrong again. This is a company that year after year makes billion and billions of profit. Predictions of their demise may be true only if they were faltering but their business is clicking along nicely. The issue with microsoft is they are not popular anymore, but it does not mean they are not profitable, or they are not researching. They do a lot of tother things other than building oses.
If anything Symbian and Blackberry phones are behind the competition.. oh wait. Why do most people assume everything is supposed to be be built for the iphone crowd?
Yes it is. I bought a Xbox 360 and PS3, while I love both I spend more time and money playing games bought for the Xbox than the ps3. I'm not saying PS3 sucks, on the contrary, the hardware feels better and it has a snazzy blueray player.. some of the truely epic games have been on the ps3.
I would rank the 360 and ps3 to be equals.. just diferent, and mine certainly hasn't died yet but if it did that's fine. Damn thing has been used 5x more than my ps3 in 3 years.
Why would microsoft suggest they switch to Android? The article is poor and borderline flamebait. It starts with a falsehood, suggests a swtich to android, then throws in a completely irrelevant "copy and paste" windows 7 issue in there. Terrible article.
I put 127.0.0.1 facebook.com (and for www.facebook.com) and it's amazing how much my Back browser button gets messed up because almost every link on numerous websites foward to facebook.
State farm does take your money!. They raised my insurance from 162 to 225$ a month, no reason no nothing. Clean driving record, no tickets.. certainly did not grow 10 years in 1 month. The idea that they are nice because they can get publicity from a feel good story is naive at best.
what's the big deal. Most of you don't vote anyway.. what does opening the source do? it won't prevent bugs or hacking or cheating (which has nothing to do with the source). There are many things that affect our lives that aren't open. Why voting?
I know some people will be "yay banned wifi" and all that jazz but if children are really getting sick, taking a stab in the dark would stop them from getting sick. I suspect the real problem is mold or poor airflow, but hey lets ban wifi because it makes our parents feel better, while our health problems continously get worse and last through adult years.
Pretty right on most points. To me linux distros are like wrapping paper. underneath it's still a chaotic mess as soon as you try to install anything not included with the distro you run into install hell. Software is the most annoying thing to me when I deal with linux. So you find this app you want to install.. install it and it requires lib.version.x or whatever. So you go download the said lib and it's version x+5 and it doesn't work and all that bullshit. Why can't they just come as independent packages? Too much reliance on this or that lib.
You know, about 30 years ago (1978 to be specific) there was this strange thing called "KERBEROS"... it still works. Single-Sign-On is a non-issue in the UNIX-world. It was solved 30 years ago.
Another great argument for thinking a little bit before giving good things stupid names.

this is exactly what statistics are for, it's way better than your anecdotal evidence.
So you're saying Microsoft invents stuff and Apple just copies and refines it? How is that not innovating?

grow up son. it's market speak, besides it's a memo.. I bet you don't even know what that is.

The great fallacy nowadays is that everything should be designed for the Apple consumer.

All insurance companies are evil.
I don't understand how and why they need shareholders if they have no plan to be profitable.
The fact that when you open an MS word document and do any editing it fucks it up for everyone else is one reason. One of our meetings went like this
"Who uses open office?"
"silence"
it's nice to list what you want, but others want something else too. That's just the way the world works. It's just QQ to me
Companies developing software are still raking in billions of dollars. Maybe stop giving the shit away for free...

No that's not what he was trying to say. He was trying to say, my shit is better than yours.
what does anonymitiy have to do with it?

4 stories in a span of a couple of hours. Why Microsoft?
