Then why are they really trying to block other smartphones from being sold? What you mention is only part of the puzzle. They don't want to make phones everyone wants, but they want to be the only ones people can buy at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive things.
something like 70% of Windows 7 malware also runs on XP
You use that word... I don't think it means what you think it means. Also, the big fat goto fail fiasco shows you how much less secure OSX is than everyone thought. Just because it's based on something doesn't mean it hasn't been tainted by those that change it.
I've used FF/Chrome side by side on Linux... you FF people are fooling yourselves. It is by far the clunkiest, slowest, least responsive browser out of the big 3.
Like the other poster, I coded heavily for hours on end with no such issues you mentioned. Sounds like some serious PEBKAC. I remember installing Red Hat 5 and having to reinstall often because I had screwed up a driver trying to get it to work. Linux sound systems are still a big clusterfuck even today.
In addition to what others are adding, in my experience Visual Studio actually works. XCode and some of the others are very unpolished in the debug area. They randomly disconnect from debug target or some such. MonoDevelop randomly corrupting layouts drove me mad.
This is just more rumor mill junk! Reads like a hit piece put out by a competitor. Do none of you remember when games on the Sony platform broke because they were hacked and PSN was taken down?
Something you might not notice initially, but is a welcome fix is that games like StarCraft (the first one) run without as many issues in Windows 8. In Windows 7 there are all sorts of problems with the graphics, partly I hear because of explorer.exe taking over the palette.
Which is the real problem. Most people I've seen who say it's bad haven't even used it. In the future, it should become the de-facto Windows gaming iteration, as they cleaned up and refined the graphics systems.
Check out the AOL Lira patents and the discussion around them. They cover scroll bounce in some methods and it is believe that Apple's patent is merely natural evolution of them, ie not patent worthy.
The re-examination communication (here) only discusses the first anticipatory reference explicitly (the AOL "Lira" patent). That patent describes an overscroll bounce in the context of web page elements, where defined elements that are misaligned with the edge of a particular window are "snapped" back into alignment if the user attempts to move the selected content outside of the of the "snap point."

Humble Bundle is available on the Google Play store. https://play.google.com/store/...

I think their lawsuits show that this is not the case.
As far as I could tell, the browser gets no data from the Kinect other than for navigation.

Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint were all really good products in the 90s. IE was even a top product for a period of time.
Such bias, so kool-aid, very rose colored glasses
Better than the fake encryption Sony uses on your CC details. People are oblivious to what gaming "reviews" have been for the past decade.
Apple's magsafe always falls out for me. If they are the pinnacle of design then that tech is not worth it.
Makefiles are the devil sir.

There are more baseball bat homicides than gun homicides in the US. Should we then regulate baseball bats?
This laptop came with 6GB, was less than $700, and running Windows 8 with Chrome (90MB) and RDC (164MB) open it has 1.7GB in use.
Then use the closed source drivers? Don't see the problem here.

Which only just recently is getting a Linux port.
With none of the new features, and they may have even removed a few! So awesome!
eBay takes 2 cuts if you use PayPal. They bought them so that they could control all the money.
