Appliances are for home users; computers are for businesses that can afford one.
See iPad vs noname PC. Or unsubsidized smartphone vs noname PC.
...hmm. Can you get back to us when the computer-appliances are cheaper then the actual computers. And no, netbooks, despite being commonly lumped into the "appliance" bin, are actually fullblown, if moderately powered, computers, so that sub $300 sticker is what an actual appliance has to beat.
However, we don't object to clear factual statements informing the user that the product also works with specific proprietary operating systems.
I might not agree but I see how a huge Windows logo can be interpreted as endorsement or (depending on size and prominence in regards to everything else) as a statement of exclusiveness.
I do not agree with it, but I can see how "Works with Windows" and "Made for Mac" can, due to design and prominence, be understood as "Works (only) with Windows" and "Made (only) for Mac" or similar. I have to say the Apple one is worse in that regard. As for information:

So I guess there is no problem with being informed, as much as being Logo-formed (sadly, this one is considered more important).
"Preemptive" wars of conquest based on fabrications, secret detentions, extra-judicial assassinations via drone, Fatherland... I mean Homeland Security Department with all of its lovely extra-judicial powers etc and so on.
Treatment of native americans, slavery, Jim Crow laws, women's rights, prohibition, Japanese American internment, McCarthyism, the Guatemala medical experiments and so on, and so forth. It has never really been significantly different. Where does this meme that the US has suddenly abandoned it's perfect record of freedom come from?
As someone who runs NoScript, I can safely say the people who put those "safe fall-backs" in are in the minority, and this is currently a problem, even without HTML5.
There is a big difference between having fallbacks for lacking features and fallbacks for existing features that the user deliberately disables. Having a duplicate version for all javascript (that can be quite a bit these days) in whatever the backend is a much bigger liability then a CSS hack for IE6. That said, it is true that far too few places do fallbacks were appropriate.
In the day of terabyte hard drives and blazing fast internet connections between browser caches, viruses, automatic system updates and whatnot I wouldn't want vouch for the contents of my hard drive either, even though I know for a fact that I haven't put anything incriminating on it.
You should really get in touch with Ton (the main Blender developer, head of the Blender institute and the producer of the short). Contact information is here: http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-institute/
CMYK aside I know of adjustment layers and color depths over 8-bit without even thinking and I don't even use Photoshop. But I do listen to legitimate complaints; if you don't want to listen to what the other side has to say, then don't scream at the top of your lungs that they are wrong.
You're as bad as the Photoshopers who insist that no professional would ever use GIMP, so back under the bridge with you.
There have been no less than seven different product names with the word "iPod" in it:. iPod, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Mini, iPod Shuffle, iPod Photo. So yes, Apple has developed a "iPod" brand, like it or not.
While I like a lot of things about Ubuntu, I have to disagree on the bugs. I don't bother with distro bug reports any more, clueless triagers who close a bug after requesting irrelevant information or requests to re-run over and over again hurt more than they help. How about looking into the fucking problem? But hey, it keeps the open bug count down, right?
Ignorance at it's finest. Acid3 is not a standard, it doesn't measure standard compliance. Implementing just enough to pass Opera/Webkit style is absurd, go bark up their tree.
They are trying to "advance the web" by pushing "to open the web."
Right, their agenda doesn't exclude opening the web by any means, but it is not their agenda as such. The relative importance of the open web subgoal is currently unknown, as there haven't been many (any?) instances where they had to make a choice.

No? It doesn't say that you have to refer to any and all systems as "GNU", just ones that are a fusion of GNU and Linux as "GNU/Linux".

Oh, ok then let's just make a bigger board and...
Oh. So yeah, they don't scale but similar games can be formulated. I wasn't disputing this.
Was it non-obvious how to do it before they applied for the patent? What to do is theoretically still not patentable.
The difference is that those games just don't scale.
Indeed, where did I write that?

Back in reality that is not how web standards work out. HTML4, CSS2 and PNG were finalized, did that mean that they were the minimum baseline?

Gasp, how dare they serve an otherwise neglected market!

Acid3 doesn't measure standard compliance. The only thing that you that has a 4/100 chance to break is if you are developing an Acid3 test.

Problem is, ceiling fans go away too...
You don't need to be smart to have ideas. You have to be smart to implement them. And maybe to understand this rather simple concept?

You were wrong.
Maybe you should focuson what you want less and what Mozilla has always been doing. Not to mention that Chrome's "agenda" is very similar.
Mozilla's agenda is "to open the web". Chrome's agenda is to "advance the web".
Not higher then before women entered the workforce. Those 8 ours had to pay for the whole family back then, if 4 can pay for half...
However there is no way that can happen with the way that globalization is orchestrated.
