I quickly discovered how big of a time sink it could be.
To fly a Cheetah coverts op ship, my character requires 302 days of 24/7 training to meet all the necessary requirements. And this wasn't even an uber ship at that!
I mean, thankfully you don't have to be online for your character to train, but come on.. who plans their MMO for the next year's worth of gameplay?
The problem is that you can't upgrade to Windows 7 anymore.
I wish I had mod points left, so instead I'll comment.
I don't know where you get your information, but it's wrong. You can downgrade to Win7 if you bought a Win8 machine with your Win8 license code (just get a copy of an OEM Win7 disc). You can also still buy Win7 OEM from stores.
Parent's post should have been modded up insightful, because it's FUD.
Where iTunes still has a dramatic advantage is the integration of it's online store and access to buying (*gasp* yes, paying for music) tracks.
I've yet to find a better source of legit downloadable music, which for me, still makes iTunes the best choice out of all the choices mentioned thus far.
Some of us people value "it just works so I'll happily pay for it" over "it's free and it shows".
a) The laws were applied equally to ALL vehicles (ie cars, trucks and motorcycles) with exceptions for licensed emergency vehicles. b) Excessive fines for tampering/removing said device c) Proven to be 100% reliable and be installed by an authorized dealer. d) A speeding ticket requires towing the vehicle for a mechanical inspection for evidence of (b). If the device is at fault, the vendor pays the ticket, towing and inspection fee. If evidence the device has been tampered with, the vehicle owner (not driver) pays the fee.
This may be the best thing that's happened to Microsoft in a long time. Perhaps they will get their clarity back again. I can't help but wonder if there's a deeper story here though, like his abysmal performance causing a backlash to force him out 'gracefully'.

They said they've given up on the Internet, not they've given up USING the Internet.
And this is the exact reason why when I buy an ebook, the first thing I do is stip out the DRM.
I was going by what EVEMON said for my character *shrugs*

Why would you want to get a SteamBox and cut down the number of games your computer can play?
Might as well just donate to them in dogecoins, since they're all just bitches of corporations and special interest groups.
Back in my day, the *Russian* spooks defected *to* the *USA*.
... and given jobs at the NSA bringing their expertise.

So far, I've yet to find ANY pricing that beats my VPS provider, DigitalOcean... Google included.
Words.. the summary is missing some.

I've decided to stop being Google's product after deciding I can't trust them any longer with my information.
I opened a VPS to handle my own email services, dumped my Android devices, switched to Bing and block all Google cookie and scripts in my browser.
The only last remnant I'm having a tough time replacing is YouTube for gaming vlog's.
I'm more surprised there's people living in Greenland!
Slashdotters will attempt to find a way to blame Apple as they use the same factory.
Crime doesn't pay, but the hours are great!

Considering the pilots fought to keep the iPads and didn't want Surface, there's more going on behind the scene here.

That's why I use my nipple instead.

Perhaps they wanted to build off a browser that doesn't crash all the time and has feature creep/bloat.
It doesn't even have better battery life. The battery life is one day.
But I already pre-ordered a PS4 after Microsoft showed their true colors towards customers and developers.

It was more likely he was sued because his review wasn't bilingual. This IS Quebec we're talking about afterall.
Who (when concerned about security and the NSA/GCHQ/FIS snooping) give a rats ass about gaming?
The majority of the public obviously I'd say. Which is why Linux is still hasn't reached critical mass for the mass populus.
