A university in Toronto tore down the historic Sam The Record Man building, and promised to reinstall its beloved sign elsewhere. It took them 8 years, but they finally installed it over a major public square.
It doesn't matter if he's dead, or if the case isn't relevant anymore. Who cares about its legal status. The heist captured the public imagination. The audacity of it, the lingering mystery. People will still be talking about it in 100 years, just like people still talk about wild west stage coach robberies.
It's funny. Apple had a hand in ARM's founding. They were collaborating on RISC chips with Acorn, and that was spun-off into ARM. Apple owned a decent chunk of it for a while, but I don't know when they sold that share off.
The tiny but dedicated fanbase kept insisting that an x86-based "Surface Phone" was on the way "any time now", and was going to be the platform's saviour. But now there's no Atom, and I doubt a Core M is going to fit in there anytime soon.
Hypothetical situation: Let's say you travel to another country where you don't speak the language.
"I don't speak the language" isn't a Get Out Of Jail Free card. People may make exceptions for you, but those exceptions will only get you so far. You have to make an extraordinary effort to learn the language, or accept that you're going to have to be isolated with others who speak yours.
Social interaction is a lot like that. Some people may make exceptions for you based on your disability, but acting out and then falling back on your disability as an excuse is just going to rub most people the wrong way. I struggle too. I've got ADHD and social anxiety, which makes me seem aloof and distant.
Oh, and that woman who called you "sexist" for opening the door for her? She's got a problem too. I've run into people like that, and they're impenetrable walls.
"I strongly suspect, with what a spyware-fest Windows 10 has turned out to be, Linux is gonna get a BIG boost in users in the not-too-distant future, once joe-six-pack figures out all of *his* data is now Microsofts... "
The eternal wishful thinking of "The year of Linux on the desktop".
Most people already keep their personal communications in Hotmail or Gmail already, so I don't see too much of a fuss going on. Concerned people will just stick with Windows 7. If anything, Joe Sixpack will pick up a tablet* for his casual consumption once his laptop or desktop becomes too sluggish or dies. Things are going in a simpler direction, rather than more fiddly.
So, unless you want to qualify Android as Linux...

Maybe the one person left working in the State Department doesn't know how to restart a server.
So sad for most of the US where people get maybe 4 OTA channels. /s
Anyway, they're reassigning television channels in most markets to make up for this.
People in developed countries can be easily tricked, too.
Remember all the idiots who were fooled into believing that installing iOS 10 would make their iPhone waterproof?
"Hero" is the new "Premium".

Or Slashdot just became trite and boring and I only check it out for a few minutes once every week or two.
Times change, websites fade.
Wasn't that the plot of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?

This is why you never accept a vape from Bugs Bunny.
Felder is an asshole, and you know it.
Right, I'd forgotten about the Zune's ability to "squirt" songs.
I can't believe they used that term.
I wonder what this means for Windows 10 Mobile.

The Xbox 360 had a PowerPC-based chip as well, named Xenon. The original devkits for it were PowerMac G5s.
The GameCube, Wii, and Wii U were also all based around PowerPC.
Sure, they might piss off a lot of OEM partners, but what are those partners going to do? Switch to Windows Phone?

Interest in space wore off when the glamorous visions of the Space Age wore off, and as a culture we became aware of the banal realities of it.
But kids have started to get interested in space again, thanks to Chris Hadfield's charisma and social media savvy.
We need to *keep* them interested, though.
You can have that if I can have a device that disables all motorcycles within 500m of my house.
Such noisy machines.
"Huh, looks like I accidentally my submission somehow."
Maybe you accidentally your keyboard.
But the minor number should keep going past 10, just to make things difficult for pedants. :)
"OS X 10.11? Where's OS XI? Oh my god I'm going insane!"
You're still whining about them getting rid of that glossy bullshit?
I'm glad everyone's finally gotten away from that '90s/'00s "USE EVERY PHOTOSHOP FILTER" mindset.

Ok, I'll preface it with "they started out with the wrong address for the party".
My wife dropped her Lumia 1020, which has a pretty amazing camera, and I had to replace the screen on it.
If "everything possible to remove them from the market" means "not making them anymore", then yes, you're right.
