Exactly! Moreover even if there are no laws against it there is still responsibility. If they start a fire they are liable for it. Sue them for damages. That might make some people wake up.
actually they weren't making bets then. They were standing pat on the earlier successes. It wasn't until Job's return that they began to make moves. The last big bet they lost was the Newton. The Apple TV really wasn't a disaster it just wasn't a big win.
Every PC sold for over two decades, with minor exceptions, has carried MicroSoft Operating systems by default. You couldn't buy one without an operating system without building it yourself. That's an unbelievable advantage. Overwhelming to say the least.
Microsoft has never had to compete. They always bullied and now that they are in a market where they can't have things their way they find themselves at a loss for what to do.
I think Pot may be like most things. A little probably wont hurt and might even be beneficial in some cases. Unfortunately it gets treated like alcohol by most people. If a little is good then more has to be better. That said, I don't really see why it's illegal.
I have no fear. I know if I don't use it then I can't be hurt by it. What it does to you is of course your business. I'm sure the effects aren't all that beneficial. I've seen plenty of pot heads and it was enough for me to pass on the experience.
I knew Carl was plenty smart but I always wondered what the fuck was wrong with him. Now I know. No telling what he could have done if he wasn't a pot head.
Really. If you want to be locked in there is iOS. For those who don't there is Android. Maybe that's why MS is having so much trouble, both options are taken by better companies?
Microsoft is really a little lost in the smartphone market. They aren't used to having to compete on an open playing field where they don't have any leverage. If it weren't for the ungodly amount of money they have it would have been over way before now. They can't bully Google or Apple so they have to actually try to compete on merit. They're fucked.
Windows was defective by design. It was made from the ground up to be backdoored and up until Windows Vista really made no attempt to do anything about it. There have been so many articles about all the problems with Windows over the last 20 years that it's really stupid to claim anything else. Why you would bring such ignorant bullshit to/. where everyone knows how full of shit you are is beyond me.
A guy brought his iPhone4S into my shop a few days ago and 2 of the guys there went and traded their androids for the damn thing even though I told them the iPhone5 is probably going to arrive in 3 months or so. I couldn't believe it. Few people buy their phones for practical reasons.

Exactly, there's an anonymous coward in charge. It could even be you.

People that believe they will suffer dire consequences are less likely to commit a crime. Really? Imagine that.
Actually it's a Pelosi-ism. Kinda like "We have to pass it know what's in it."

Why not? It's an idiocracy.
I wonder if maybe Men and Women have different interests?
Who makes your keyboard. I think I'd like one like that.
If it ran iOS or Android I'd be interested. If it's their brand of malware I'll have to pass.

If Sony wasn't so fucked up XBox would still be bleeding cash.
Sadly there in no +100 funny.

The win phone is for people locked into Exchange.

Nah. That was too lame to be a shill. I think you're just a fanboy.

Sounds like you missed out on the entire point of his post. Maybe you just love being bent over and fucked by tech companies?

According to the RIAA it's "theft!"
