Soy beans are normaly polinated by bees, while corn and weat are normaly polinated by wind. That piece of trivia makes absolutely no difference for that case.
Oh, yes, I can see that. And they are losing on courts because all those farmers have top lawyers, billing millions and millions of Reais a month, while poor monsanto can't even find a public defensor.
It's funny the way you describe history. I can't even guess where did you meet those people.
Around here, the PC industry is facing their "demise" because PCs have become good enough. While people were always screamming MORE until the last decade, they've just stopped and realised that their hardware does everything they want nowadays.
Also, those people more concerned with processing power of mobiles than consuption, well, I could never find one of them.
They have way more infrastructure and cash. They don't have more talent, or, if they have, they don't allow such talent to show itself. Big corporations are about putting everybody inside a process, so you can manage them. And you can't put talents inside a process.
So, I guess the answer to the GP's question is that they need to buy startups because they are disfunctional.
Nokia went their own way and suffered but survived on momentum.
Well, if by Nokia way you call going "Left. No, right! No way, turn left again! No, go straight ahead! No, we must go back! Why can't we go all the ways at the same time?!?", that is quite correct. But that is not really a direction...
Evidence for that is that Intel still doesn't have mobile offerings that compete with ARM ones on the market, despite benchmarks.
The problem with benchmarks is that they don't need to tell the truth, one can hide any problem just by testing something else. And the problem with Intel's low power processors is that they archieve that low power by taking things out of the processor (where they perform better) into periferals (where they use more power). This way the processor looks much better.
Or were you asking for evidence that x86 uses a processor for decoding the instructions into something sane? If so, just search for "Intel microcode".
But if you arguing that Intel invests less on research for reducing the power requirements of their chips than ARM, well, you are crazy.
Yeah, it would. And bundling the Office while increasing the price of the OS is guaranteed to double the interest of governments into prosecuting them.
Closing the OEM gap is very bad news for Microsoft. If they do that, they'll lose their greep on the OEMs, an lots of computers running other OSs will start to appear.
MS will only do that if they are desperate for some reason. Currently they are only increasing the price for RT, thus tey are not there yet.
XP only lasted for 12 years because MS was selling it for 9 of those years. They'll probably stop selling W7 after W8 releases, it can only survive for 5 extra years if people pirate it a lot.
The fact that intel and AMD haven't really kicked into gear for mobile has hurt microsoft a lot.
Well, x86 can't really compete with ARM at mobile devices. It is so complex an architecture that it is better to put a processor translating the x86 programs into something sensible, and then another processor executing it, than to simply create a processor that runs the stuff.
But now, guess what. Whose fault it is that we are still using x86? Who is the one that refused to support anything else since NT? Karma is a bitch.
Ehh, you know that most of those dual core ARMs aren't meant to have both cres working in paralel, right? In most cases, they have completely different perfomance (that means, only on of them is fast), and you are expected to turn off the one not adequate to your current usage.
Are you using NFSv3? Because there is a "techinical limitation" (sometimes marked as "bug", sometimes not) of it that completely destroyed my file server. If that is the case, it can be solved by migrating to NFSv4.

The GP did probably go for afunny mod.

Intel discovered GCJ, now they'll surely change the world.

Worms are not authorized to run, by definition. Not being signed changes absolutely nothing.

Yeah, and more often then not, the government is the one starting the cycle, by increasing taxes.
There are exceptions, of course. And then, there are countries like Brazil where the cycle is so old that its roots are lost in history.
The best part is that it works on evverybody, guilty or not.
You also see it at top notch hardware. Windows being that expensive, you won't see it at top hardware, just at garbage.
And, by the way, garbage running Android is cheaper than Windows alone. I can't see how this can end well for MS.
Yeah, it would. And bundling the Office while increasing the price of the OS is guaranteed to double the interest of governments into prosecuting them.

Differently from Linux, Unix is not a name of a kernel (or a kernel API).
By the way, there is something that most distros ship that is (almost) Unix, that is the GNU toolset.
Thanks for reiterating the GP. It is not GNU/Linux, but it is a kind of Linux.

Google does not charge Android instalations.
Yes, they do charge paid apps on their market, but that's besides the point.
Do you really belive that the OS will refuse to run a worm because it is not signed?
Signing your software is great for defeating trojans, but it can't do anything about your other security problems.
That's not a premisse, that's the conclusion. We are to accept it because of the study.
Now, all the disclaimers of a statistical study apply, so you'd better keep doing that introspection you are so good at.
Keep in mind that "computer science" is not the science of building computers, and you'll understand why Turing got the title.
Now, THAT is something I think is offensive.
The best part is that they founders gave their last name to the company. Yeah, there is an entire family here called "Fuck".
But you are wrong, S/A means incorportated. Private limited company is LTDA.
