Your logic is pretty flawed on the matter.
What is at issue is the hardware, not the OS.
Microsoft wants to develop their own hardware, that is fine. But who controls the UEFI restrictions? What club do hardware and OEM manufacturers have to belong to now to conform?
With Windows 8's added requirement to conform to this standard, hardware will have to go through testing with MS, which historically has not been that great.
Well now, MS holds the reigns on competitor hardware as well as its own. So... where does that lead the industry?
They can either conform and deal with what is dealt, or find alternatives.
We already see that Apples Developers are leaving due to this "controlled" approach, so what will happen to hardware?
Personally, i think the next 10 years of computing will be very interesting or very depressing.
It was obvious that the shares would be priced too high. They have been working on hyping Facebook for over a year, and the frenzy by idiots only added to the starting price.
I think Zuckerberg was right to stay out of a public offering, and he should have.
There are too many "yes" men and shills in the public offering arena, patting you on the back while drawing a blade.
Stock markets... pppfftttt, more like legalized gambling.
Regardless, he cannot do anything like this to the computer. He is liable if something goes missing and they suspect he deleted it.
If he was that concerned about this information, he should have used his own computer.
You lost me with "Seriously."
If you are going to rant, stay on point, on topic, and within the same realm of thought.
Jebus H Visnu you must be new here.
Thou are speaketh in a comical form and manor. I say art thoueth a baffoon or comical jester?
You simply must continue on. Doesth thou produce plays? Pray tell where doest one sign up to get tickets? I wish to submit myself to thy whimsicle banter!
I think the icing on the cake is the fee of 5 mil to point them to a known fraudster.
Talk about the ultimate troll move. That surpasses being Rick Rolled.
Your argument is flawed. Back then, games were a niche market. Less people were buying them, the industry was just getting started, and games came with manuals.
Today, games are prevalent, the market is understood, and the industry has been around a while. They also have no manuals.
However, cost is going up because industries are getting greedy and are creating a false environment of "games are in trouble thus we must raise prices".
Well, lets face it, the last major contribution to email was the "discussions view". Not much has changed in the way of email. The standards have been the same, the security is over an SSL standard, the display is either plain text or HTML, and anti-spam is handled by people like spamhaus.
What more is there for email?
Agreed, the obvious use of the 'church' method to show that the author does not believe it to be a church means that the author has animosity towards the subject.
Treat the subject with respect, and in return you will be treated with respect.
May Xenu do the thingy that he must do to make an example out of the guy that talked so carelessly about it.
The reasons our phones dont suck is because we have stuck with an out of reach business model whilst being probed from behind by other smartphone makers.
Want email AND contacts AND calendar? Well, then BlackBerry server is for you. It is another item your corporation has to sink money into and IT resources in.
What? Your phone lost connectivity to our server? Well, the fix is simple! A security wipe of the phone and a reset of your Blackberry server account by your IT will do the trick!
Nothing could be more simple!
Had an app you needed for work on the phone? Well, lets hope you backed it up, or your organization will have to pay for it again.
No other email service offers remote wipe like we do. Oh wait, they do? Well, we also offer encryption, wait they do natively?
What about our cool mouseball, no one else has that patented feature! Or our mini-thumb-track system, which is so annoying only the pains in your thumb know it is the real thing!
WEEEEEE!
Yeah... they were doomed when smart phones started supporting Exchange.

Move along.
and when it comes time to get a raise, they can hold this over your head.
Id rather take a 2k/yr raise than this BS.
I'd agree, and so would I.
PPSSSTTT. your crazy is peaking out again!
tolerance of superstition is not tolerance.
What?

Wait, my government was supposed to beholdin me?
Where can I sign up for this service?
I enjoyed the irony of replacing "expensive and demanding" people with robots.
Mostly because this is China we are talking about...
Since when did the idea of an OS change from "Directory Navigation, Launch point for applications, application install handling" to "Marketing bitch"?
Check mate sir!

Simply orgasmic!
So then if 80% of the world is average...

Yup, and if they win, then I will sue Verizon for limiting my free speech rights by throttling my internet speed.
I hope you are joking, as Mitt Romney said that.

I knew they were close, but this is awesome.
Quick, give me a date and take my money!
