I love Python for GUI apps. I often find myself using wxWindows even though I started out with Glade and Gtk+ because its so much easier to make cross-platform apps with.
I think Nintendo 'ruined the soup' so to speak with the Wii U. They had a product that worked, that sold, that made them money. I dislike it personally but the Wii was a good seller for Nintendo for years. It was not however, on par with the PS3 or 360. With the Wii U, Nintendo has just crawled into the HD era and just barely. They were 6 years late to the party and it seems from some sources that it can't quite keep up with those devices.
On top of that, Nintendo felt the need to completely change the interface while keeping the old wands optional but not included. We all know how optional accessories go down in history...
Now we have Microsoft and Sony dropping in hardware that will make their own previous consoles look slow and underpowered with games that try their best to show off those new capabilities, and I'm quite certain that where Uncharted 1-3 made the Wii look like a toy, Uncharted 4 will do the same again.
I find Python with wxWindows very attractive as a cross-platform development language. I can rapidly develop GUI apps that work on nearly any computer quite quickly.
At 30Mbit/s, when I want to download a show I missed by BitTorrent, it only takes a few minutes. Leaving my stuff on for 24hrs isn't part of the equation at all.
My Transformer Prime lasts well over 10 hours of actual use with the keyboard dock attached. I don't see this as being a real problem if more makers realized a dockable keyboard can also be a secondary battery like ASUS did.
It sounds like you want a laptop with a touch-screen. Off-the-shelf software isn't touch-friendly in most cases so supporting it on a tablet OS (including Windows) is nearly pointless.
If you want software designed for a keyboard and mouse, run it on a laptop. It already works.
Because when someone does something truly shocking to the public conciousness, we need a law on the books to nail them to the wall with.
So long as judges keep denying these charges in cases where they obviously do not apply, its perfectly valid to have them on the books.
Before you disagree with my first point, consider that in a democracy, what the majority want ought to be the law in most cases. Therefore if the vast majority think something is too obscene to be permitted, the democratic thing to do would be to remove it.
That said, if this were the USA, I wouldn't trust the judicial system as much.
The truly security minded don't use Hibernation on Linux and instead use randomly encrypted swap partitions to avoid memory analysis. Its easy enough to create a swap partition based on a/dev/random key at boot-up.

While the 3 click rule may be bunk cf. http://sixrevisions.com/usabilityaccessibility/10-usability-tips-based-on-research-studies/ making users leave your site to go search for their own info is not posting a useful story.
If you're going to post a story, post it *with* the relevant links, for everyone, not just for me.
Did you build that machine for under $500?
I think not.

A link to the patent text or the company involved would at least would be appreciated. I can't be bothered to go find it myself.

I've reduced my Java plugin usage to HP printer configuration...
Some of us don't even read comic books ... yes, I said it.
Coming from you that sounds a little odd. When my file halves in size, I can't think of it as anything but compressed.

The latest HD video speed from Netflix is 5-7Mbit/s
The Transfomer Prime by ASUS already has both full-sized USB and SD card slots on its keyboard dock, as well as mini versions on the tablet itself.

The iPad fails at every single item on that list as far as I can tell. What are you smoking?
Its quite possible a number of your moderations got meta-moderated as poor and you lost privilege for a while. It happens.

#1 desktop on Dell's website. No, most people don't have home-built custom PCs, they order them mail-order like this.
Sure, my motherboard has one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebabcock/3600893754/in/set-72157619247481171 but that's because I'm an enthusiast and shopped around for one that did. Quite a few did not at the time.
This isn't news either, Intel's been trying to kill off serial ports since 2001: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/10/04/intel_to_kill_floppy_drives/

I bet people get used to prison rape too.
Doesn't make it good.
Open the properties of the Paint shortcut and assign a hotkey so you can use Win+N (random example) to open it without ever clicking.
Most of my regularly opened programs have keyboard hotkeys associated with them. Favourite Windows feature since Win9x.
Agreed completely. I had a half dozen themes I really loved in DR15/16 back when e.themes.org existed that made my desktop look incredible.
Also, Eterm.
I used .15 and .16 for quite a long time. Both were very stable and beautiful and worked very well.
Um, you're being funny right?
Most motherboards I see today do not in fact have serial ports anymore at all because USB has taken over.
To be fair, I'd use Wifi direct or Bluetooth to transfer the instructions to the device wirelessly to its on-board memory.
