These things are rarely objective; if you have to deal with Company X for something and they are spectacular fuckups, then you're not going to willing choose to use their software again if there's any alternative - not because the software is inherently bad, but because you never want to have to deal with the company again in any way.
For precisely this reason, I will never choose to work with Commvault products if at all possible.
they may as well close down java.com and close up their database business while they are at it, nobody would trust working with oracle owned properties for anything of any consequence
Give them time, they seem to be working on it full time at the moment.
If the MicroSD card in your Windows Phone 7 device cannot be removed or replaced, what is the point of making it a MicroSD card rather than simply more onboard memory?
They are on Win7 phones - I think all the ones I've seen reviewed so far have placed the MicroSD card slot behind a "Warranty void if removed" sticker in one way or another.
And just how does it decide what a valid AV package is? There are thousands of the bloody things available these days and they change on an hourly basis in some cases; there's got to be a pretty high false-negative rate.
Not really, even the most zealous anti-copyrighters around here will usually acknowledge that a) There's an important distinction between copyright infringement and copyright infringement for profit and b) copyright laws are essentially *never* applied fairly between "regular" people and corporations.
And yet if you walked into a store and stole those 24 songs off the shelf you could probably get away with a warning, maybe with some community service.
Oddly enough, the only people downloading IE9 *beta* seem to have done so within a few weeks of it being made available and so it's reached saturation. Regular users aren't going to download a beta version of "the internet" and techies grabbed it, installed it, tried it and forgot about it pretty quickly.
I eagerly await the article a couple of weeks after the IE9 RC is made available trumpeting the massive increase in IE9's market share.
The only reason that Harry Potter has "abandoned" 3D is because they couldn't retro-fit it into the latest instalment in time for the planned release date. They're still fully intending to go back and 3D all the old films plus this latest one and re-release them to cash in.

For those playing the game, Jumping The Shark is the point at which something has done the best it can ever do and can only go downhill from then on.
I'm not sure Facebook has jumped the shark and if it has, it was way back before all of the recent privacy outcry and probably before it opened its membership to the general public.
The vast majority of current exploits are targeted at applications, rather than OSs; primarily Acrobat Reader and Java at the moment.
Regardless, no OS can overcome the problem of permitting users to carry out administrative tasks without allowing them to execute malicious code when they really, really want to see the dancing bunnies.
Actually, historically that's not the case; it's only been the last 10 years, where Labour decided that the only way they were every going to get elected again after they so thoroughly ruined the economy in the late 70's was to parrot all the Conservative policies without actually being the Conservatives - i.e. "New Labour". Prior to that (and possibly going forward, depending on how Ed decides to direct the party), they were very much a socialist movement and clearly to the left of British politics. Of course, in order to counter New Labour, the Conservatives have been slowly moving themselves closer to the centre anyway, but if Labour rebound back to the left then the Conservatives might decide it's no longer necessary and move back to the right again.
The Lib Dems have always mixed the rational with the impractical, but have never had to worry about it before because there was never any chance of them getting into power; now that they actually are (at least partially) in government, they're having to make loads of compromises because many of their election promises can't be reasonably implemented even if the Conservatives agreed with them.

Then get them to email the PDF to you, but make sure they include a message to let you know what it is, something like:
"Here's the file you were after, hope it helps"
Well it beats WYSIWYG, which always sounds like a childrens cartoon character to me.

Though at all times it bears remembering that Firefox, Chrome and Others are all vulnerable to serious exploits from time to time.

And therein lies the problem.
No they're not, parody is one of the clearly defined exceptions in copyright law.

A jury of your peers is really a jury of people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

That's what the ASA is for.
Internet Companies != ISPs
Internet Companies, in this context, are companies that operate in part or in whole on the internet.

No, it increases sales.

What's sad is that it's as disturbingly accurate today as it was 30 years ago when it was first broadcast.
