Now virtually everyone on the planet has two smart phones (including a lot of Africa) the game is about to change - eg there are a lot less protential customers prepared to buy phones without exchangeable batteries (as HTC just found out). There are a lot less people who would try a phone with Windows on the box. Blackberry's problem is that a lot of people already have a working Blackberry, and have been reluctant to buy a new one while it still works. Buying one without a keyboard may not be high on their priorities.
In my experience, LibreOffice does a far better job for word processing- especially editing tables. AND, if you report bugs, they get fixed. I agree that the spreadsheet has limitations, but I have used it for business since it forked from OO, and not had any problems.
So, why would I pay microsoft for something google gives me for free?
you are not the target market, which is idiots. However, as PT Barnum observed, there is one born every minute - it must be true: MS is still the market leader.
You must be one of those iFans. I have a pile of batteries for my HTC Desire, so I can leave the house with 3 days worth for a long weekend! However, my Nokia E72 (probably nearly 10 years old) and 6120 each have a new battery which lasts 7 days.
Summary: if you didn't buy it from Apple, you can change the battery - and spare ones of an SGS3 are in the region of $5 each from China.
Pre-install OpenBSD, and route the console port via GSM. I will configure it from my mum's basement with my Samsung Galaxy S3. Just email me the Mountain Dew, Doritos, root password, and its ISDN number.
If you know, maybe you should be applying for promotion - some of the people that operate them obviously need help! http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007QC9QS2
If this is made in Europe, then I guarantee the welding will be done by well trained robots, and not third world immigrants.
CNG is known to burn vigorously, while air is known not to.
I agree a small puncture might be a risk, but I think you will find that all trucks (in Europe anyway) have air brakes that require storing significant amounts of air at 10-12 atmospheres, and have done since before 1950. I dont recall a single accident where escaping air caused a fatality. (European trains use the same air braking system, and I think US ones do as well, judging by the movies).
Damn right: Joe Sixpack should not be allowed near a gasolene powered car, but you in America support the right to arm bears, so obviously, risks are on a different scale that side of the water.
Or you could distinguish yourself by supporting your hardware with software upgrades as long as the hardware is capable. replaceable SD cards and batteries, and the option to install Cyanogenmod^H^H^H^H^H another OS.
It may be true that an array of icons can work well on a touch screen - but only iff you have a very limited range of options Once you have 150 or more icons on your Samsung phone, it is hells own job to remember what all these tiny little pictures stand for, when we have vocabularies of tens of thousands of words.
In short, where there are few options, icons are fine. Where there are many, you need a hierarchical approach so options are presented in context. Icons do not do that well. It is fine for people who only ever do three things. For those of us who do hundreds of completely different tasks, icons are no good. That is why Unity looks like a piece of p*ss ot power users, and is fine for the dibbies.
It may not have been dumbed down, but the reliability fell by a factor of 10, and it the same applies to microwaves with dials vs buttons - except you can still get ones with dials.
I seem to recall this debate 20 years ago: If you write the menus in English, only English speakers can understand them If you use icons, no one can understand. "This supports our equal opportunities policy".
I think you will find the entire "PC era" derives from the concept of IBM clones. DEC also published full details of hardware. Apple did indeed stamp on loads of clones.
The IBM BIOS was published, providing detailed API information. Software was provided as source by both DEC and IBM. Unix (BSD and AT&T) was also supplied as source.
Software was not closed until Bill Gates closed it.
Slashdot Mirror
or the British government that said "Three computers should be enough for any country"
However, they are all closely related.
I assure you British governments are quite incapable of "predicting" the present, let alone the future.

Parents of students suckered by the sales staff in PC world, I would guess.
Rip Van Winkle - is that you?
Perhaps there is a reason why Samsung is No 1?
For a (near) monopoly to do that is a clear breach of EU competition law. Expect someone to realise this will solve Greece's debt problems very soon.
Not a Windows user then!

Not many PCs had enough screen resolution for 1080p when XP came out!
Not if you share all your vital data with Russian hackers^H^H^H^H^HGoogle.

The point of having a college education is so they dont catch you but you still need to be able to weld like that to get a job on a farm.

However, sensible people use Diesel engines, for which low load efficiency is much less of an issue.

Then again, you could be Nokia.
Does Google Navigation describe your current location as "Hell"?

That is alright. Hurd is not yet ready for prime time!
