Microsoft might as well buy it. I'm switching to C#, other than for Android development, but of all these kinds of problems (and because Eclipse sucks so hard compared to VS in practically every single way). And I don't even run Windows (yes, clearly I'll need a VM for C# development). Unless Mono is something to be taken seriously these days.
To nitpick further, though, I'm not sure that those who died in either the planes or when the buildings collapsed during "the attacks of 9/11" died for that reason.
And even in more traditional deaths, the fact that oxygen stops going to the brain after death doesn't mean it was the cause of death, any more than your toes going cold was.
Not sure it's evil; they just want people to use their real names so that people don't act like fucking idiots, like they do on Slashdot, because everyone will then know they're a fucking idiot. The money comes from allowing companies to use Google+, so that they can deal with customers properly. It'll be hard to spam on Google+ and I can see it reducing or eliminating spam because people will end up using the huddle/messenger thing most of the time with people they already know.
Since June 2011 they said `in the coming months` which could technically mean at any point in the next thirty thousand billion months, but probably means sometime this year.
I guess they need to work out if every person in a domain is a seperate user or part of one organisation and they just can't decide...
Also, you're supposed to want to get *into* the garden. Who's going to want to own a Microsoft phone/tablet? Years and years of sales of Windows Mobile, and Android pisses all over it in a matter of months!

Probably going to go with the BBCs figures, to be honest.
I think it's because it's insecure by design. The internet, websites and emails is what's brought people together. Anyone with Google can google the company name, and go to the site. Having to create a Facebook account before you can use it is a problem if you value security. The real names thing (to the extent that it's policed, which is not very much, just like the `no children` rule) is doesn't help.
Yes, there are more people into social stuff than there are geeks. If the internet were only used by geeks, there wouldn't be a Facebook; there were BBSs, email etc for that sort of thing.
It's just like 'new age'/alternative medicine. People feel better; that's great, but are they better or do they just feel better? (If you want to feel better you could just take something natural like heroin, cocaine etc).
Also, I quite like the idea of a compay which has a reason to create something from scratch to do a job coming up with something which may or may not succeed on its own merits, vs most of the crap which has made web development so tedious (and with such poor results) thanks to `development by committee` and 'death by 1000 standards'.
Get rid of javascript, flash, etc etc, start again with html5 and a new, proper language for doing development on the browser and it's almost worthwhile stopping developing for android, iphone, this os, that os etc.

We, as a society decided we didn't want to go to war in Iraq.
You'll always find a few people who'll equate punching someone with typing a message on an internet forum somewhere, but I don't believe the comparison is one which most well-informed people would go along with.

Ah - so you're not from the UK then, or are you one of those people who believes the UK has a constitution?

Yes they do, in the UK at least. And the publishers know books are going to libraries and do nothing to stop it; on the contrary, they support it, as they sell a lot of books.

Classical ad-hominem. Does the argument have merit? That's all you should care about.
Microsoft might as well buy it. I'm switching to C#, other than for Android development, but of all these kinds of problems (and because Eclipse sucks so hard compared to VS in practically every single way). And I don't even run Windows (yes, clearly I'll need a VM for C# development). Unless Mono is something to be taken seriously these days.
But how would that information be in any way relevant to a discussion about how much profit Samsung makes from selling this or that product?
What a bizarre response. If you knew what a margin was, you'd know I have no need to quote any source.
Oh, and there's no need to point out how similar 17% and 18% are. We know.
To nitpick further, though, I'm not sure that those who died in either the planes or when the buildings collapsed during "the attacks of 9/11" died for that reason.

Yes, but I'd imagine the markup is a little higher on a device you build and sell yourself...

Or a free Google Apps account (and let's be honest - 50 users is plenty).

People are starving? Where?
A polymer, which has nanowires embedded within it? Doesn't sound *that* complicated...

I saw 9/11, and both planes there exploded. I'd expect large, fast, hot, heavy things full of fuel to explode, but what do I know?

Sounds very exciting. But interestingly, the BBC is currently saying 3 deaths:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14957437
"Three people have died and scores are injured after an airplane crashed near a grandstand at an air race near Reno, Nevada, say medical officials." ...
"Earlier unconfirmed reports said up to 12 people might have been killed"

Lol!Yes, they should have made the announcement before they made the announcement.

No, it describes how easy it is to buy and sell on the marketplace. It has nothing to do with the quality of what you're buying and selling.
Slashdot readers in Asia already have speeds comparable to Asia.
Yes, and he's clearly cutting the price because he just can't keep up with the demand his runaway success of a tablet has become!
