Consider Pakistan and India. Both have nuclear bombs, but that hasn't reduced their perpetual war with each other. If Pakistan sends troops into India and starts shooting up Dell's phone support, India can't nuke them in retaliation, but they can't let it go unanswered, either (fuck Ghandi).
If Google has a large collections of (mostly FRAND) patents, do you think Apple will ignore blatent copying?
As a point of history, Java's developers apparently did look at Objective-C as one of their primary influences.
The OpenStep specification was actually a collaboration between NeXT and SUN to make a platform independent NeXTStep. Sun had a beta OpenStep running on Solaris but then they caught java fever and the only cure was more java.
With Amazon prime or a $25 order, shipping is free, so that's not a factor. And the point is, all other things are not equal since some books that are available in both print and ebook form are best-sellers in one category but not the other.
You haven't been paying attention. The EU likes to make themselves relevant for all kinds of mergers that aren't any of their business. (Oracle/Sun and GE/Honeywell off the top of my head). Doubly so when it could affect a European company -- perhaps you've heard of Nokia?
During the.com bubble, some people got fucked over by their stock options. Generally, you exercise and sell your options at the same time and pay short-term capital gains. If you exercise and hold, you can pay long-term capital gains, when you finally sell. However, you're still taxed on the income (number of shares * (strike price - option price)) even if the stock since dropped to 0. (Deductions for capital losses are limited to $3,000 per year).
Don't worry, IPOs are handled by the investment bankers. The hedge funds and other monied interests getting in at the IPO price (and pre-IPO price in some cases). Too bad Google's dutch auction approach didn't catch on -- the company gets to keep more of the IPO money* and the wall street insiders don't have any advantage over anyone else.
* Consider VA Linux: the IPO price was $30/share but the actual opening price was $300/share, closing at $240/share. $30/share went to VA Linux, $270/share went to the bankers.
No, you see the top 1% don't pay their fair share. Or something like that. Ignore the 47% that pay no income tax. So these thousands of new millionaires will push out some of the top 1% into the bottom 99% and despite no change in income or taxes paid, the ex-1% will suddenly start paying their fair share.
Some of the BeOS programmers worked on WebOS. But then again, some of them worked on iOS and some worked on Android and some worked in Windows Mobile 7 Phone Edition or whatever it's called. Hell, some probably worked on your mom.
Does anybody else remember xxx.vendor.slashdot.org? For those that don't, it was a place where, eg, AMD, could post slashvertisements directly without waiting for a janitor to approve it.
When DEC transitioned from VAX to Alpha, they converted the VAX Macro assembler to the VAX Macro compiler which translated the VAX instruction set to Alpha.
Of course, you could also write assembly for llvm, jvm, pcode, or.net cil.

"index of" and "parent directory" are good terms for finding virtual directory listings.
you can shoot up at home.
diamorphine == heroin is an expression. 1 == 0 is also an expression.

They should release it under the GPL license so an evil company like NVIDIA can't steal it and not give their changes back.

Firefox has (had?) $100 million/year worth of google ref codes. Chrome is nothing but google ref codes.
Privately owned... by the 1%?
Dont' be scared that the Euro might crater, be scared that Germany finally won WWII.

This is a company dumping dead code that it doesn't have any more use for. (Much preferable to simply abandoning it.)

There's a reasonable chance that the Windows 8 ARM tablet version will be metro only
I stopped reading after the first three words. Just like they should have given up three years ago.

Why I Will Never Feel Threatened by Programmers in India guy just changed his mind.
Don't forget the Xoom. They sold 100,000 of them last quarter. Not too shabby. No wonder google paid 12.5 billion for Motorola.

If there was no iPad, if there was no iPhone, would the Samsung's tablets and phones still look the same?
