Like the last time it's going to bite them in the ass as the internecine incompatibilities make migrating from one version of their OS to another a trial by fire, and less attractive than adopting one of the many platforms with easier shifts.
Well, since you asked that would be to be using an apt-url supporting OS and browser and clicking on an apt-url link like Get Firefox. That would be easier. You could do it right inside the online forum where you read about this hot new browser.
The thing is with the vast majority of these systems, the in-ground portion is a closed loop like the radiator in your car. The cooled water is pumped into the ground, which heats it. When it comes up hot its heat is transferred to another medium, that works like a refrigerator but in reverse. In normal operation, no emissions at all.
The solution to this problem is well known

. net sucks. Perl, Pascal, all interpreted languages are a dead end. They're ui elements that don't count. If you can't use your available source to build theOS
the compiler and core apps, you lose.
By definition the library you go to limits your scope to the books on hand or available. This library limits you far less than a physical library that only has the books it has. They do so for well-defined reaons in their charter.
Ebooks do away with this. You can get uncensored works in their original from the source. How is this a bad thing?
I'm pretty sure that outside the US still has eBay. The world is shifting to a global market thanks to places like eBay where localized products can be arbitraged for a nominal fee. That's how we in the US get access to the thousands of Android tablets built and marketed for third world markets when we don't live there.
It's one world now. If you have the cash and Internet access you can have anything sold anywhere in the world delivered reliably and quickly to you in any place that has delivery services. The world is turning in to one huge bazaar. To steal a quote from R.A.H., "anything in the explored universe can be had by a man with cash, from a starship to ten grains of stardust, from the ruin of a reputation to the robes of a senator with the senator inside."
A sort of suicidal hunter-killer micro bot bird flock. Launched with scores of these bots in each rocket, on attaining orbit they spread out, attach to dead junk and deorbit it. Or aggregate it all in one spot for this proposed mechbot to service.
Microsoft's money is offshore. But it's not in Canada. They need to assimilate Skype and Yahoo first anyway. RIM is just going to hang in there 'till 2013 if they're waiting for Microsoft to buy them.
Xbox is a net loser. Word processing documents and spreadsheets have been a solved problem for 20 years. What new have they, except their stuff doesn't work with other stuff? And why would that be a "plus"?
There were concerts, ads, product placements on popular TV shows, purchased "Likes" on Facebook and followers on Twitter - and of course astroturfers to beat all previous levels of astroturfing, including here in these comments by folk who've done no else but astoturf by their comment record. Ad placements on all prominent online venues ensured adoring reviews on those same sites. At best estimate they moved 2M phones, so the cost of marketing is more than the build cost of the equipment - which is not that odd in general but pretty weird in phones at this level. They'd have done better to buy some phones in bulk and give them away to likely influencers. They've not got great ROI for a company whose legions bear Return On Investment as a standard to sell their ware.
The money to Samsung is probably balanced against the patent licensing agreement so Samsung will continue to build new phones noone will buy. Nokia? Well, that's probably part of the $1B already well commented on. And they're not going to turn down any deal because they have the Manchurian CEO.
So now the news is they're stepping it down by 80% and hoping to do more with less. Good luck with that.
WP phones are single core at best. They have limited choice and old tech. At any one retail vendor there will be 0-2 Windows phones up against 0-5 iPhones and 19-30 Android phones. As soon as the customer says "what if..." the salesman is compelled to find the best fit, and the greater selection leads to better fits. Call it fragmentation if you want to. It works.
Nokia built their business on providing many slightly different options to fill the vendor's shelf, pushing out competing options from the shelf. Android vendors have learned from this, and are now out-competing Nokia for shelf space. If you want customers to buy it, it helps if they can fondle it.
Maybe it would be best in consideration of the season and in light of current events for Microsoft's marketing department to reprise this popular event from the launch of Windows Phone.
I'm not in danger of ever buying an iThing, but I like it that people get excited about new tech things. It means that technology still has the power to move us emotionally as humans. It means new stuff is still happening. The tech can touch our hearts. Otherwise it's boring.
Me, I like boring. I like letting everybody else try the new thing usually - the only exception these last 30 years being the Asus Transformer I bought on launch day. But the idea that tech has the ability to move us emotionally gives me hope that it's on the right track maybe.
I pondered for quite a while expanding on the following but you're a bright person well grounded in logic, math and history and have been here long enough to build a whole story out of two little words. By being a little bit obscure I may escape accusations of panic-mongering:
I was going to suggest something like this, or "bullet time". Since those are taken, maybe arrange them in a ball looking out, and get the students to writing image stitching software. Then they could mount it on a cart and get some cool panographs.

Do you have any idea how many reactors in the world are of this design? You've called doom on a lot.
And we're not due foresight from folks who transmute elements for money, because money corrupts. The first thing money corrupts is expectations.
>If you believe that then I doubt you've lived for a significant time outside the US.
Good point.
Why is that's material I ask. A thing is what it is, wherever it is. Moving it to your house or mine doesn't change it.

This is interesting. Or turn it into a LEO gas station.

It takes a lot more than that to make the platform attractive to end users. Remember, lots of really great stuff is lost under the dunes of time.
We've got millions of unemployed people with nothing better to do with their day.
Maybe a prior generation could have pulled this off. Not us. It's cold out there, and dark. The planets are far, the fare is steep. Space is not ours.
Let the Chinese go, or India, or Russia. When they come back they'll tell us what they found - won't they?

The free concert series was a big hit for WP7 - it drew big crowds.

Yes, Thank you Mr. Ritchie.
