How about users just get a clue? Online search is a feature, not a bug. Yes it can 'leak' data, but I would expect most Linux users to know that and make an informed decision.
You're either trolling or had very bad luck. I had a Moto Q (actually two, upgraded to a newer model) for years and ran Windows Mobile 6. I rarely if ever had any of the problems you describe, and I used it heavily. I've happily moved on to Android and iOS phones now, but it was a solid piece of gear in its time.
While I prefer Intel CPU's and use them to build most of my systems, when it comes to copying would you kindly remind me as to who copied who on the x64 instruction set?
No he is correct it is why iphone apps smoke the android apps for performance. The overhead introduced by java just means you need at least 20% more cpu,ram etc just to get equal performance.
Yeah that's why most apps on Android don't benefit much if at all when native code (like the NDK lets you write) is used. Keep drinking that KoolAid though. It must be delicious.
I have an iPhone and an Android tablet. Both are pretty quick and there is no noticeable difference between the platforms. Well that's not true. The Asus tablet is noticeably faster but that's not fair because it's a quad core Tegra 3 with twice the RAM.
Why would I want Java shit eating up my iPhone battery?
Good point, since because of deliberate designed obsolescence you can't replace it or carry a spare. A lot of people might want to run Java applications on their phones. A lot of those people have the option to carry spare batteries or, heaven forbid, get an extended life battery. Pity that Apple doesn't allow that on their iShiny devices.
Windows, Android, OSX, iOS are successful because they are sold already installed on their respective devices. The only reason Linux is not a major desktop OS is the lack of commercial support from a major consumer electronics company. Most people hate computers and don't want to install OSes. If Dell/HP/Sony/Toshiba/Acer/Asus decide to stop sucking milk from Balmers fat tits and deploy their computers with well supported Linux desktop environment while also promoting 3rd part app development there is no reason for it not to be successful. Given the open nature of Linux I fail to see anything Linus can do that could be a problem.
People have been saying this for years. The mass bundling of Linux on well known PC platforms just isn't going to happen. Wishing it were so isn't going to make it so.
X-Rays have no temperature, they are EM radiation, not matter.
I love how people who didn't bother to RTFA get modded insightful. The summary is bad but the article clearly states that the gas creating the X-ray emissions is what is heated.
Well that's just Reagan vs Carter all over again. Iran knew Carter wouldn't bomb them if they didn't release the hostages. Reagan pretty much promised to. Iran released the hostages the moment Reagan was elected.
Umm. Didn't they release the hostages because the US, under Reagan, agreed to sell them weapons through proxies?
No, they released them right around the inauguration, long before the arms debacle.
Ice means raw materials for fuel and oxygen to breathe. This is exciting news. We need to get up there. The smaller gravity well will make it an ideal place to stage missions to other parts of the Solar System.
I probably won't live to see it but I am looking forward to when we can directly observe in more detail the area surrounding the event horizon of black holes. There is so much we do not understand about the Universe and overall cosmology, but black holes by their very nature will probably be one of the last frontiers as we continue to peel back the layers of knowledge in our understanding of the nature of the Universe as a whole.
There are also potentially practical applications given far greater technology than we have now. Imagine using black holes to generate energy, or as massive particle accelerator laboratories!
I always liked how space combat was portrayed in Babylon 5. It mostly adhered to proper physics of spaceflight, and the battles always seemed to be more realistic to me. I know that is subjective, but it seems it was the best of anything on TV or in the theater. Don't even get me started on Star Trek. It makes Star Wars look realistic and that's hard to do.
What a shame the guy never thought to test it on any dyslexics, instead of making up a load of random shit about how he thought his font would work. I mean, that must be what happened, since you're dyslexic and you've declared that it doesn't work. And all dyslexics must all be the same, since you didn't just say "it doesn't work for me."
He more or less did say "it didn't work for me", so I fail to see why you'd treat him with sarcasm.
With clovertrail provided a single core from tablets, how to prove intel can best at the user experience? If not to be slow or middle then only above pricing can user pay for best experience. They say "power" and only think domain and voltages but user need other gfx domain.
Wide adoption hoplesss?
I am not sure what you mean...it's dual core with hyperthreading. It sounds like it will be a flop for other reasons but you're post makes no sense.

"It's not my fault!"
Personally, I have a bad feeling about this.

Did I say that? No. See the other response. As long as we have a huge entitlement system we won't be doing OK.

Yeah, the laziness of the average American is why we work longer hours than most developed nations and have higher productivity. Try again.
Citation. You can find dozens more if you were not too lazy to look ;)

How is it history if it has already happened once before?

Whoosh. That was the sound of the GP's sarcasm flying over your head.
But they do not force anyone to use their search. I can use whatever search engine I want ever from my Asus Transformer Prime.
Nobody forces anyone to use Google to search. They don't sell search. I fail to see a case, but IANAL.
Well that's just Reagan vs Carter all over again. Iran knew Carter wouldn't bomb them if they didn't release the hostages. Reagan pretty much promised to. Iran released the hostages the moment Reagan was elected.

I'm 45 and a little over two years ago I got back into an engineering role after over a decade in management. It's never too late.
The Obama Administration being incompetent and Glenn Beck being a moron are not mutually exclusive things. Both are true statements.

Because if you want Google's data you play by Google's rules, and Google has things they want that Apple didn't want to give them.
Google is not responsible for Apple's poor planning.
Pretty much what I said the first time...

Apple's A6 goes up to 3.
(GPU cores)
Gotta love fanbois. Take a look at the specs of the ARM based NVidia Tegra 3, then tell me how wonderlicious the A6 is. They are barely keeping pace.
Tegra 3.
