So one of the reasons to keep Trident and avoid Webkit is security? They are right, windows is at risk of having security at last, that must be avoided. I think that since IE 1.0 that was the main attack vector, it must be kept alive, else won't be windows anymore.
More manufacturers wanting to differenciate themselves from the rest means also more diversity on the software front. Thats from where Sailfish, Tizen, Firefox OS, and even Open Web OS phones will come.
The "We have the virtual monopoly so no need to innovate" mentality is about to get a hit (unless they use other tactics counterattack, like claiming that they will attack your privacy (even more than the US government is doing with everything US based), or with patents (after all the Apple fight to ban Samsung phones from US or Europe, this could happen too ).
I suppose that what you don't know that apple, microsoft, or blackberry installs in your phones would never be malware. I would go to a phone (american, chinese, finnish or from anywhere) that not just runs an open source (so auditable) OS, but also enables you to put in your own version. And so far, the ones willing to go that route are more the chinese than the western ones.
Now, if you concern is about bad real world performance, or bad battery life, well, i would understand, but is just about picking the right chinese manufacturers.
They say numbers about Windows 8 and Symbian, but what about Meego/N9? If a platform that they declared dead and buried basically at the moment of launching it, in just one phone, performed in a not so different way than Win8 phones, that would be a big message. There were some numbers around N9 sales for Q4 2011 and Q1 2012 that could point that it was selling better than Lumias, but not sure how it evolved. What is possible is that if Sailfish or Ubuntu gets ported to it (have a good shape for the swipe gestures used in those incoming mobile OSs) it could be even start selling back.
Anyway, speaking about dead and buried OSs, Microsoft killed and buried the Window OS bundled in most Lumia Phones when announced Windows Phone 8, saying that present and close enough in time Lumias won't be able to run it, and that apps for Windows 7.x won't be compatible with it neither. Is not so amazing that it sells badly, even for being a Windows phones. You had to wait till Lumia 920 to have a Windows 8.
There are several kinds of DDoS, some that could be seen as a protest (i.e. making customers not being able to access a company, putting a big sign making them aware that that company is misbehaving in your opinion), and some that could be seen as vandalism (breaking windows, throwing chairs, or even launching Windows 8). A line must be drawn between both.
As long you can run the apps of one in all the others (leaving minor "cosmetic" things like particular features of the desktop integration) is all good. All those have its own particularities, but all run linux, qt, html5 apps. Running in a platform that don't enable me to put buttons in my minimized icon like in sailfish? is ok, just don't show it. They all have a lot of things in common (i.e. notifications) in the interface and some things that make then better suited for one environment over other (i.e. don't think sailfish interface is meant for tablets, like i.e. plasma active, or even phones too big to be handled with just one hand, where ubuntu could be better), but what matters is that if i develop for one could run in the rest.
Will be this year when Ballmer's move should fully show how bad a CEO is. Or a good one, delivering a good product is just part of the equation, pushing other factors to make even a very bad product to succeed counts too.
The rest of the world now feels smarter after reading such a dumb idea. Why anyone would use/carry a weapon if could fail in a situation where their lives could be at stake? Why adding even more weapons to the system will prevent that any of them being misused? Will those guns have positronic brains to decide when not harm?
What if a gesture is looking from left to right to the screen and someone appears in your right? With voice commands speaking to someone else (or a background conversation) could have easily unintended consequences, even if you are careful, but for your eyes will be worse.
Hopely with it what has been seen could be unseen... i mean, undone.
... usually is the kind that force users to have windows and to use outdated versions of internet explorer (because some specific internal app depending on it) and Outlook and enables internet browsing. Or not enable internet browsing for most employees, but surely he does it in his window pc, and/or enables non-it managers to do it, connected at the same time with the most critical networks of the company. And, of course, there is always the point to VPN/internal portals connections from his home or whatever access point that he finds outside, again, from his personal windows computer/pc/tablet. Extra points if connects with secure networks/protocols like vpns, https, or ssh, from unsafe computers, saying that anyway the communication is all encrypted.
Cellphones are a threat, but a far less probable ones than all those scenarios so far. In fact, those managers are a bigger threat than cellphones.
A lot of the new technology is more mobile related, that is usually presented at Barcelona instead.
Also, lot if not all of those announcements were done by big companies doing their own, exclusive events, focused mostly single products, very awaited and with long enough preannoucements campaigns, usually not meant for shared space/attention with other companies.
Is all ok, unless you design your user interface based on having just one of those input devices disregarding the others. I.e. Windows 8 gestures are ok in a touchscreen or with a mouse, but with a touchpad moving the pointer could be taken as a gesture and do something not intended.
If we can't get enough meat, but the what is needed to raise it could feed everyone anyway, why go to the meat route anyway? Probably would be cheaper to have as food additives whatever we can't get or assimilate from vegetables.
You will still need to have cows and chickens, at least for milk and eggs, it could be luxury meat, but for normal, widescale food, probably vegetables (even lab growing them) could be the way,
Anyway, if labs can grow meat, they could grow/sintetize "pure" food at a potentially similar cost? Food patches could be the next hit.
Wrong question or wrong device. The idea of chromebooks is there are no files (at least, no local ones) to worry about, All file related goes to google drive/docs/picasa/etc.
If you want to have a mostly googlebook management, then install ubuntu or some other linux distribution and even could use chrome as desktop. SSH beats rdp any time, specially if is mostly about file management.
They tried Tizen in a Galaxy S3, and were planning to release a Tizen phone. Launching an ubuntu one, or at least, having it available for dual boot or optional OS, would not be so bad. In general, take out Apple, RIM, MS (if they make a phone like they did a tablet) and maybe Nokia, and all the other makers could try models with it instead of android, bada, sailfish, tizen, webos, firefox os or symbian, if is good enough. All those alternative OSs have their own good points, but having available an alternative OS if you want to give some special use to your phone (i.e. as enterprise phone more fitting than blackberry if good enough apps coming to the ubuntu version) gives extra value to your hardware.
No, they already know what is karma. Microsoft employees and directors are being forced to use Windows 8, now when Ballmer yells Developers! and throw chairs really mean to hit them for what they did. Google, please, can't you feel their pain? Don't make them suffer even more.

At least now we know around which star is Alderaan.

Maybe the meter is somewhat arbitrary, but in particular weight can be measured against i.e. 1 liter of pure water?
Maybe won't be the year of the linux desktop, but with that, and a few android based gaming consoles could be the year of the linux game console.

Good opportunity to put in jail all weapon makers for multiple murders
The "Broken by design" paradigma is already patented by Microsoft. Hope they have some spare billons for the incoming lawsuit.
Is working as it should. Not a bug, but a feature only available in internet explorer.
Do a code in his style, and ask him to maintain it, specially doing changes where that way of programming show why its wrong.
