There is a camera you don't really control pointed at your face every time you talk on a smartphone. And another one covering the 180 degree opposite view too. They're putting them in TVs and other appliance devices now.
Um, we're actually using so many of these Roku things we have to argue over who gets the two Netflix feeds and who has to use HuluPlus. Sometimes we explore the other stuff, and there's an awful lot of amazing stuff in there. They're fantastic and cheap at twice the price. I don't know why they didn't beef it up and put Android on it.
They are missing out though on the cyclic obsolescence that has come to characterize what office document suites are for. Without this how will they know when it's time to update their PCs and operating systems, discard and re-buy their printers and server-side support systems? Without the periodic need to update one's office suite to support the features required in documents received from users of the new version there is no cue. They would keep using the same PC for far longer, and update their servers only when the hardware innovation provided true value-add and ROI. LOB applications and third-party plugins would continue to work indefinitely. End-user data would no longer go out of format support. This is anarchy!
BTW: Andy Rubin was responsible for Danger and Hiptop, and sold it to Microsoft for one billion dollars. Microsoft turned it into the KIN. He was also responsible for Android and sold it to Google for fifty million dollars. He stayed at Google and together they turned it into, well, Android. Isn't that ironic?
What does it matter? Office may as well be considered a remote access terminal server backend with system privileges for a metasploit frontend remote desktop client. The document preparation features are optional and in most cases redundant.
Usually you get people - quite intelligent, technical, well educated and experience people - who still can't understand why you don't click on the "Stop sending this spam" link in spam, or why they can't have the "Yahoo toolbar" browser add-on installed by some app they downloaded from a some random download portal on the Internet with uncertain provenance, or the prancing horse mouse cursor. But then you have C level executives who don't understand reply-all either also.
I knew the author of Math Blaster. He was a teacher at my high school. I alpha tested pre-release versions for him on the Apple ][. I hope he got the full benefit of his work - he was a great guy. Mr. Smith I believe (yeah, I know. "Smith. Yeah, right.")
"You can't make a steam engine because I have a patent on the basic tech. I can't make a steam engine that works well because you have a patent on every possible advancement of and use of the tech. You and I are both fucked, but not as much as people who need food delivered by efficient steam engines, tens of millions of whom will die of starvation for our greed before our patents expire." - me, describing the steam engine patent situation from the POV of James Watt.
Why fix on flash? Word can be Pwned by an image, an embedded spreadsheet, a document template, one of a hundred forgotten media formats - or even a font. It's a beautiful gateway to being pwned that requires no user interaction. You don't even have to open a document: it installs pwnable services to facilitate remote management by random strangers.
I hate to tell you this but code is data. Specifically it is the data about what you want the machine to do. There are methods to separate operators from operands, but none of them deliver the utility we demand.

"But it is cross platform. It works in IE8 AND IE9."
I prefer "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric Raymond. It quite eloquently describes how humans trend to one or the other.
There is no replacement for fanfold paper.
BTW: this already happens with Netflix.
I don't suppose Roku puts a channel on their box for free. They probably get a back-end cut of the subscriptions or something.
What makes you think they can really be turned off?

As I said.
If by sh*t you mean the Ribbon then yes.
It is a semi-equivalent system.

do you really think they'd reinvent all these wheels just for spite?

Ah, Davidson. That's right. It was long ago.

It's worse than that. NTFS includes for EVERY file a potentially executable hidden resource fork that can't even be seen without special tools.

It's from my boss. It must be OK. Even if it isn't, I don't dare not read it.

Thanks. Your comment means more to me than upvotes. I'll aspire to do it again if I can.
