I don't get it. You people say you don't want spyware, i.e. the Google Apps, on your phone. THEN you complain that Cyanogenmod doesn't come with Google Apps. Make up your mind already.
Yeah. Like that is a good indicator. Their market share is going down and their profits per device will too. Just like what happened with the iPod. You think people are dumb?
more than Samsung, Asus, Amazon and Lenovo combined
I still remember when the Apple apologists said the same about cellphones. It took Samsung what? One year? Two? To sell more smartphones than Apple.
I'll give it a year. If the market doesn't implode that is. I doubt a tablet and guess what. I don't use it that often. I either use my PC at home, or the laptop when travelling, or the smartphone when I can't be bothered carrying my laptop around. It is niche hardware.
Sure man. I mean there were Italians working on jet propulsion in the early 30s too. That lead to the C.C.2. The thing is none of those engines were practical. Most of the early prototypes discarded everything just to keep the weight down. Even after the performance got better the materials often weren't up to snuff. e.g. the Me 262 turbines had short lifetimes. Not to mention that Whittles engine, despite being the first decent working jet engine, was superseded by axial-flow turbines like the BWM engines used in the Me 262.
Apple decided to compete with Windows PCs by allowing Mac clones to be sold. But the clones were cheaper and had better specs so they kept hemorrhaging money even though the Mac compatible market share was actually increasing slighly.
MacOS Classic was utter trite. Imagine a Windows 3.1 style cooperative multitasking OS when even Microsoft had released Windows 95 and NT with preemptive muttitasking. The projects to develop alternatives like Copland consistently failed to materialize. This is why Apple had to get NeXT.
PowerPC took a long time to get developed. 486 DX2 was faster than 68k series. Then after the PPC 604 the Pentium Pro came shortly afterwards and blew its performance out of the water. Pentium Pro workstations running Windows NT basically killed the RISC workstation market as well.
Hardware projects like Pippin and Newton were commercial disasters.
Capacity had nothing to do with it. Neither did the iTunes (software). The main deal was the iTunes (store). Other people tried getting permission from the recording industry to make music stores. They mostly got denied that. Steve Jobs had connections to the entertainment industry because of owning Pixar.
I think you hit the nail in the head. This policy is ridiculous. They need to replace the reactors. There is no shortage of new and safer reactor designs.
FWIW TLS, SSL, PGP, SSH, S/MIME are protocols. I remember using them before SHA-256 was even available. When a cypher or hashing algorithm is compromised the protocol accommodates replacing the cypher with something else altogether as long as the clients and servers support it.
You say it like its a bad thing. When currency depreciation happens all outstanding loans you contracted are now effectively cheaper to pay off with your assets as well.

Blackberry didn't lose sales for a long time. Look where they are now.

been selling more tablets than ever

Losing market share. You know. The title of this article.
Makes sense. It even uses a thermionic valve as a symbol. If that isn't a symbol of snotty audiophilia I don't know what is.
So is KDE or GNOME the Linux platform? Is X or Wayland the Linux platform? It doesn't matter man. The kernel is there.
Or power beaming. Remember this?
You use a propeller. That is known to work.
Microsoft also sells millions of products a year and we hate them too.
User satisfaction is not a quantitative metric. Its a bullshit metric which can be manipulated into giving you any result you wish to get.
Plus their sales are going down. As a percentage of total sales. They are growing slower than the market.
Yes and the iPhone was based on a Linksys product. No wait.
Especially because there were 'app stores' before Apple's.

Lots of things.

Also the French had decent military hardware when WWII started. Including aircraft. The defeat was more a matter of organization and tactics.
It isn't mutually exclusive. A turboprop is a jet engine mated to a propeller. The thing is you had NEITHER available in 1940.
Its a paper plane. Paper planes always look great on paper.
What about tomorrow's desktops?

The US dollar is backed by the US government. Bitcoin is backed by zip.

I would rather save my earnings in the form of tulip bulbs.
