Adobe's flagship product is Creative Suite. It competes with Microsoft Expressions which has approximately zero market share and isn't really an important product for Microsoft.
The only thing Adobe has in the same market segment as Microsoft Office is Acrobat, and people use it alongside Office, not instead of it.
The MacBook Air is also pretty competitively priced compared with other ultrabooks. If the Apple offering is around the same price for the same spec, or maybe only $100 more, you are probably going to go for it.
The main problem, not with high frequency trading per se, but with all the fake bids that are put into the system and then cancelled, is that it prevents proper price discovery in the market, because you can't tell who the real willing buyers and willing sellers are from all the noise.
Technically people in the US don't get to vote for Obama or Romney either. They vote for people who meet to decide who the next president should be. It works the same way in the EU, except that they really do meet to consider who the best candidate is.
Is that the Webkit source? Some of that is in the 2 clause BSD licence, and Apple are involved in it. The original authors were the KDE project though.
I have a few.uk domains. Because I am a non-trading individual, my details other than my name are not available to the public, but law enforcement can apply to the courts to get the details if my domain names are being used for illegal purposes. That seems to me to be a good balance between allowing law enforcement to shut down websites used to sell fake concert tickets, distribute malware and so on; and catch those responsible while ensuring I don't get continually harrassed by "The Domain Registry of Europe" and similar outfits that law enforcement ought to be going after.
Apple are not a convicted monopolist. Microsoft are. The only market that Apple could conceivably be considered to have a monopoly in is the tablet market, and I don't think charges would stick there. They initially had 100% of the market because they invented[*] it, but Android tablets are getting increasing market share.
[*] Yes I know there were tablets before the iPad, but none of them were anything like as popular as it, because they weren't anything like as good, or as cheap.
There is no technical reason why you couldn't have a bitcoin bank that works in the same way as a US Dollar bank. If Bitcoin does become the world currency of choice, people are going to want to save money like they do at the moment, and other people are going to want to borrow money like they do at the moment, and you have Bitcoin bank deposits which are bank created money backed by the loans they make to people, just like real world bank deposits at the moment
They could credit people's accounts with bitcoins that aren't backed by actual real bitcoins and hope that not everyone tries to withdraw at the same time, much like how real world banks do things.
The case failed because 1. They didn't own the copyrights in question, Novel owned them, 2. Linux didn't copy the code in question; and 3. Both SCO and Novel published the disputed code under the terms of the GPL meaning that even if they did own the copyright and even if it had been copied into Linux, they had permission from the copyright holder to do so.
As a result, there is nothing for Microsoft, IBM, or anyone else to buy.
How recently have you looked? Hotmail's spam filters are pretty good these days. I used to get about 50 spams per day on my hotmail account, now I get less than one a month.
Serve all the scripts from your own website rather than from loads of different third party websites? The actual bandwidth requirements of a script file are not that great, most of the time is spent trying to contact all the different websites.
Blocked by google means blocked by any browser that checks against google's safe site database before opening the page. That includes Chrome (as you might expect) and Firefox. Internet Explorer uses Microsoft's equivalent, I don't know about Opera and Safari.
When testing my password on it, I substituted a for a lower case letter, A for a capital letter, 1 for a number and ! for a symbol. My 15 character mix of those tells me it will take many centuries to crack the password. I would get the same result if I put my real password in.
And all the indications are that tourist visits to London will actually be quite a bit lower than usual during the Olympics. Hotel bookings are down by a third because all the people who usually go to London to see Big Ben and shop at Harrods are going to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower and shop on the Champs Elyses instead.
90,000 people went to see the Champion's League final at Wembley last year, and a similar number go to see the cup finals. 80,000 people go to see each of the 2 or 3 Six Nations matches at Twickenham each year. Up to 60,000 people go to the Emirates Stadium and 50,000 to Stamford Bridge every other week. Then you have the O2 arena and all the west end theatres. None of this is happening during the Olympics.
The strict definition of "Classical" music is music produced between 1750 and 1820. That includes Mozart. Bach is in the "Baroque" period - 1600-1750, and Beethoven (certainly his later works) is in the "Romantic" period 1820-1910. A slightly looser definition of Classical includes all three.
That certainly isn't the practice in the UK. The Estate Agent will arrange appointments between the owner and potential purchaser, the potential purchaser will go to the house with the Estate Agent, and the owner lets them in and shows them round.
I realise that. That wasn't my point though. In XP, if I am logged in as a restricted user and want to do something that requires elevated permissions, such as install some software or do something in the Control Panel that isn't an everyday task, I can either right click on the icon, chose "run as a different user" and hope for the best; or completely log out of Windows, log back in as administrator, perform my administration task, log back out again, and log back in as my restricted user account.
In Windows 7 (and Vista), if I want to perform an administration task that requires elevated permissions, I get the UAC prompt, type in my password, and do what I want to do, exactly the same as I do with sudo in OSX or Linux.

It is gamed on a regular basis. Get a shill to place loads of buy orders to push the price up, sell the shares to someone else, then cancel the order.

Well I think Microsoft would recommend Lync for corporate use.
Easier than writing a complete new operating system.

Quite a lot of people in the UK and elsewhere get their electricity and gas from Électricité de France.

You can see the sky from the District Line platforms at Earls Court, so cell access should be available.
