Deflation can hurt the economy. If you know prices are dropping, chances are, you'll wait a little longer before purchasing your goods. Sure it's fine when it affects just one industry, like computers, but if it spreads across all industries, it can lead to recession.
Depends on use case. Arguably, phones are given simpler UIs allowing quick access to services you might need while on-the-move. The bigger the format, the less you're likely to use while moving. Therefore, there is less of a need for simpler UIs.
Not surprised. Radio Shack has become a relic. Everything they sell is available on-line for a lot less. Sad they weren't able to transform themselves. I feel bad for their employees.
What's wrong with iTunes? It's great for backups. Also, you don't need to use iTunes if you don't need/want to. MKV is not a popular format. In the real world it's MP4, h.264 and AAC.
I also predict a massive PR push by various Linux groups starting about 300 days in.
I don't think that will be necessary. People will flock to alternatives. I think it's great for Microsoft to introduce subscription for the OS. It means many will switch and we'll see more diversity on the desktop and more developers creating applications for other systems than Windows.
Once you're dead, all the information Google has collected on you over your lifetime becomes almost irrelevant. I'm sure Google wants you to live longer.
Frackers expose themselves to potential legal battles against property owners should seismic activity increase and cause even minor property damage. I think the problem will solve itself by keeping oil prices low.
How so? ARM processors are quite plentiful and support several operating systems already. Perhaps you're just not very familiar with them. Not to worry. There's plenty of material available.
Well it's about time they make money. Still going to take a while to recover all the loses of previous models. I expect it's not going to last long with all the cheaper equivalents popping out of Asia. I expect Surface is really a short term stint until OEMs catch-up.
I concur. For me, Mint is currently the leader in desktop Linux. Things just work. I expect other distros will also get better as a result. This is beauty behind the GNU license.
The problem is not spying on US citizens, it's spying data from foreign citizens stored on US based cloud servers. Something the US will never stop doing any more than they will stop body searches on domestic/foreign flights.

your voice is going to be transmitted over the internets for analysis.
Why would a normal consumer assume that? He's talking to the TV, not chatting with someone using Skype.

Ah yes; but a bricked computer can't be used, a p0wned computer can still be used - sometimes by many.
In all fairness, all main distros have introduced elements making Crunchbang less relevant. It's actually somewhat of a victory for Crunchbang.
Go on-line. It's all there and more. Sure you have to wait but that's the new reality.

Can't blame him. Reading the title, first thing I though of was "we can make Neptune habitable." I blame reading comprehension.

Dedicated, loyal and exuberant perhaps. A cult? Hardly.
Mine has always worked well. Only problem was that it lost one of its rubber feet. Running latest OS X like a charm.
I don't think it's about improvement but rather staying relevant in an world where your entire ecosystem is what defines you, not individual products.

Right on. Where are my mod points when I need them.
How so? ARM processors are quite plentiful and support several operating systems already. Perhaps you're just not very familiar with them. Not to worry. There's plenty of material available.
I think you proved his point.
Yeah, I remember vaguely. Didn't he say "major malfunction?"

I believe it was in fact Jacques Pankove but the LEDs they discovered were not very useful. Shuji Nakamura is indeed the one who made them useful.
The green and red LEDs were not as hard to develop as the blue one.

This is more evidence that alien planets are common in the galaxy.
Strange statement. Why would anyone think planets were uncommon in the galaxy?
