Gaming on a netbook is actually not very bad. We're not talking big budget titles, but lots of indie stuff runs perfectly well. The market for Bejeweled was huge and that runs just fine on a netbook.
Something you may no be aware of is that those keys are typically tied to a specific manufacturer (like Dell). Another common occurance is to tie the key to a certain motherboard/bios combo.
You obviously don't remember early TiVo's getting cripled.
3. Changes to your TiVo Basic service. TiVo may at its discretion and from time to time change, add or remove features and functionality of the TiVo Basic service or the TiVo DVR without notice.
Aren't people already paying for the data plan through Optus? Sounds like a case of double dipping to me. While not illegal in this case, sure is shady.
Interpolate is still broken. I even remember it being better in a previous version. I can't seem to get any of my objects to interpolate between each other. Squares work fine, crazy fire object does not.
Anybody know of any other free alternatives? I am tied to CorelDraw, but have been looking for a free solution for years.
Developers only have to develop for one set of hardware requirements, and can fully take advantage of that piece of hardware.
As of the release of the iPhone 3GS this is not true. The processor and dev environment are the same, but 3GS can do OpenGL ES 2.0 which is not backwards compatible (read will not run on) the other two versions of the iPhone.
You're correct, I was not being sarcastic. Another thing I loved was the availability of free tools to develop for the platform. Later I learned about XDA Developers and all the amazing things people have done with various devices. It's truly an open playground.

You are obviously not a certified electrician.
Some inventions are prohibitively costly to produce, so no working prototype is necessary.
Several priveledge escalation holes have been found in Linux over the years. They could have gotten root if they wanted.
Some of the Cortex ones support 754, but not 754r. It's optional component, however.
It doesn't seem like any of the ARM based procs support IEEE 754r.
There's also the mobile realm, where I don't think IBM has even stepped foot in. Not adopting IEEE 754r at this time seems like the right thing to do.

I was always talking about the UI. "results pages" != "search results". The video search is also impressive.
Try using the image search on both. The Bing results are larger per page, and easier to look through after clicking on an image.

Just because you didn't do a search doesn't mean search was unavailable on the site you were on.
After the search is where it gets better. The results pages on Bing are way better, and have even caused a stir at Google.

Some of them aren't even apps. They're content unlockers for other Apps because Apple hasn't had in-app purchase until recent.
You have described precisely why I chose Windows Mobile and keep a close eye on Android et al.
As long as the majority of users keep using IE, web developers will have to support it.
So better code means less users?
I think it's more because people just don't care.
I'm willing to wager that the majority of that software is also available for free on Windows. GIMP is a prime example.
That doesn't sound like red-eye-removal at all. You make it sound like dodge/burn.
Paint.net is my fav free image editor. Irfanview does quite a bit out of the box tho.
Why is the real/normal world so much smaller than the MS world?
