The author of the article keeps knocking Apple for what they decided to include in the OS. Okay, sure.
But compare this to any Linux distro -- the distro maintainers make similar decisions with every release. Some new packages get included, others get dumped. If you need the ones that were dumped, you just have to install them manually.
Without that comparison, the entire argument is meaningless.
Funny, that's exactly the same argument people use against the first amendment. If this exact same argument justifies Google+, then it's like I said earlier: NO THANKS.
After it was revealed that Google would remove ALL your Google accounts -- Gmail, Adsense, Docs, etc. -- for violating the Google+ TOS, it became clear to me that this was a Friendster clone I was better off not using.
If I wanted a bureaucracy to decide for me what's appropriate for me to say and do, and punish me severely for violating the rules, I'd build a time machine and go back to the Soviet Union.
You're missing the point -- it's got nothing to do with one medium being "better" than another. People aren't clamoring to convert to BD-R disks even though they hold 10x what you can cram onto a DVD-R.
The problem is and always has been that a new storage medium has to become cheap enough at the right time to solve a real problem, and it has to work well enough to convince people to spend time and money switching.
By the time floppies "died," they were well-past their sell-by date, and CD-R drives were not new.
No, it's nothing like that. CD-ROMs were already well adopted by the time floppies came along, and there was no licensing issue going from floppy to optical media the way there is when going from optical to streaming.
After reviewing a "wide range of DRAM and NAND configurations," as well as nearly 300 industry-standard PC benchmarks, the researchers concluded that even at today's prices, a dollar's worth of NAND flash improves PC performance more than adding a dollar's worth of DRAM.
Nobody is talking about what's faster or cheaper. They're comparing apples and oranges -- and telling you which to buy.

About as much as you get paid for posting idiotic blather that has nothing to do with the topic, retard.
...will Google lock me out of Gmail and other services if they decide my Twitter account violated the TOS?
No? Well in that case I'll keep using Twitter and they can keep Google Plus.

Yes there is. And did the author bother looking into whether the packages he needs are available? Did he look for alternatives?
If so, why didn't he mention that in the article?

We need to stop linking to Network World, their content tends to be HuffPo-esque rehashes of press releases and garbage "listicles" like this.
Network World: Just say no.
Or (more appropriately) George Orwell.
Again, I have no such thing; I have merely compared one stupid and completely illogical argument to another.
The only thing being conflated here is your brain with an unusually dumb brick.
And can you point to where I said I thought the first amendment applied to Google?
Again, can you read? Because so far, you've indicated that you have no comprehension skills whatsoever.
Can you read? Or are you being intentionally stupid?

You know what I meant. I just can't go back and edit posts, because that feature hasn't "come along" yet in the world of Slashdot. :)

So no, the comparison isn't meaningful.
No, but they're great in iPads.

I'd say it's a bad idea for *anyone* to invest in a company that has no product and/or does not make money.
Business plans are a dime a dozen; ability to execute is an uncommon skill.
I say push it live, let those damn n00bs grow some chest hair by referencing all their files by inode id.
If you're talking 'bout my roofing
It do matter if it's black or white

EA breaks everything they touch -- Westwood, Bullforg, Origin... even Maxis.
Given EA's track record, PopCap doesn't stand a chance.
Why would they introduce something they've had for a long time?
