Second that. Microsoft Voice Command has been around for a while as well as voice command in windows. It is fine for dictation but I would not use it to control PC. It is much easier to point what needs to be done with mouse than to explain it.

Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
The Palestinians are paying for the trip and they get to set the conditions they pay for; that's the way all invited talks work. "No side trips" is a common condition for invited talks.
Nonsense. Are they requiring him to get on a plane and land in US? I don't know what kind of deal RMS got for himself but I am pretty sure it is quite uncommon that organizers require you to go back to country of origin after the engagement is over. He should have negotiated fee for giving talks like 1k/hour and pay for his trip himself and not be restricted in his movements.
They've learned nothing from the history of the internet. There is no need for "kill switch". FUD, few trolls and a bunch of idiots gotta be enough to ruin any sensible group.
Nonsense. As long as people enjoy reading books single-player games will have the future. Ability yo explore the story at your own pace is as valuable as being able to engage in competitive combat.

Yeah, like WinMo and Palm from several sources on various carriers are outselling iPhone as well. But you are right, it is not surprising at all - majority of people do not like walled gardens after all.
Kernel development isn't driven by the product needs but by egos people maintaining it. In that sense it is no different to any closed source kernel. The only option to get things done quickly is to fork it and then hope to get it merged later. Linus isn't exactly known as "accommodating" and "reaching out" individual and merging code upstream isn't exactly a priority on Google product schedule so there.
They don't have access to the code. Besides, reviewing the code requires non-trivial technical skills. They are checking that apps conform to certain standards. If somebody really wants to plant backdoor into their app then nothing can realy stop them. There must be an explanation for 10000 fart apps in the store. Perhaps some of them have VOIP client built in...
All software is licensed so you are not the owner. The same logic that applies to Psystar applies to hardware sold by Apple (you own the hardware but you license the software). So according to your logic, every time you boot your Mac you are making an illegal copy.
Android was designed for touch screen interface - finger-friendly touch screen to be exact. No wonder it feels "clunky" using a pointer device like mouse/touchpad.

Yes, and back in those days 640k was enough for everyone.
Yes, on average. It is also possible that you buy 91,000 tickets and don't win anything.
Don't know about that but somewhere a chair is being thrown.

Common misconception. Local access present creative opportunities for phishing from code injection to creating facades to existing apps.

It has been shown that E&A (encrypt & authenticate) is inherently insecure: http://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/Authenticated_Encryption. And this is is exactly the scheme used by ASP.NET
Never seen a rooted linux box? Now get off my loan!
I use Safari in Windows (gasp!)
There, fixed it for you

It is the size of the balls what's important (pun intended).
It ain't size of brains that matters for evolution purposes...
at least they made it open source this time

They can do NAT for all clients but it does require effort to redesign the network.
Windows Mobile: it depends on the carrier/device. Some only allow signed apps.
