At least now two alternative engines are starting to get recognition around the world, and newer one of those two seems to strive more for standards compliance (they wouldn't make this post otherwise). There was a time when a lot of sites appeared to be made primarilly with "IE + FF" in mind...which didn't really change that much in the grand scheme of things.
But now perhaps sites will, to a greater degree, simply target standards... (just look at the link above to see why that's great news for you)
BTW, regarding safety of Opera - considering that it's big in post Soviet Block areas (typically #2 browser; in places #1, ahead of IE already)...maybe they just don't want to eat their turd?;)
Wasn't last summer also the date when decision regarding browser choice screen started really circulating in mainstream media?
Nobody here is saying it's the decisive factor; but it might have easily contributed a bit even before the update went live, just because a lot of people heard about the decision and "other browsers"
Yes, the deals Google supposedly cut with some PC manufacturers are probably insignificant. But Google promotes Chrome...everywhere, I believe. Not only on almost all their websites, also for example on largest social networking sites. OK, not exactly bundling; but at the least a marketing campaign which jumps at you several times per day, it seems.
You're curious. I take it you also think that humans are not instinctively sexual creatures? After all, if one could say that we are driven by sexual urges...then no stable societies could develop! There would be way too much indiscriminate fucking all around, not to mention totally destabilising cheating, jealousy and murders inspired by them; no happy female to be found due to constant rapes; not to mention loss of "productivity".
Anyway, at this point I don't expect you're doing anything more than trolling - I have a hard time imagining somebody who is at the same time rather non-illiterate and thinking in so absolute terms, so demanding of perceiving factors influencing life as either completelly overshadowing others...or insignificant.
We also have to recognize that, ultimatelly, governments (especially in so called "western world"...though not nearly only there, it's not so simple) and generally public institutions and...company practicies are just a reflection of the society; also corruption in them and what you have there.
Or where do you think people in those structures come from?
Well, if those lawyers were so crystal clear and professional, they should be able to see that LG case was weak...but that wouldn't result in charges related to trial.
It simply boggles the mind that you can dispute something so self-evident (and your simplistic views of societies; do you really think that hoarding instinct in individuals, a usefull survival trait all-around, would be the single determining factor in dynamics of those societies?...). Heck, look around you. It's hard to find a house in which large portion of stuff wouldn't be unnecessary at given point in time (too often eventually thrown away); proportion being the larger the more "poor" people are of course (so is it so inconcievable to simply wonder whether or not money might supplant part of that instinct?)
Start from here and if you still don't want to be convinced - fine, have at it your way; it's such a non-issue...
Are you really seriously considering two tablets, one for Win7 and one for WebOS, with the same hardware? That would be...incredibly stupid on the part of HP. WebOS can run on much simpler, much cheaper, much more energy efficient hardware.
I guess it gets complicated in a tablet - preferably a device a bit smaller than a netbook; a bit, but in non-trivial way: you either get from Intel some much slower Atom (hence performance suffers) or the battery won't last acceptably long.
I'm not talking about minimum wage, I'm talking about not exhausting yourself. Things you mention don't suffice alone as a reason why you would have to do it - you can set aside some funds even when the pay isn't "great"; they won't dissapear (if set aside in a way that will be ahead of inflation at the least). "Accidentally" your health will be probably better, long term, too...
Generally I think it has more to do with wastefulness and weird priorities than some real need; for example what's the point in waiting for fully comfortable savings on retirement fund (vs. setting yourself up in a way so you will want to do lower intensity work much longer; and enjoying the meantime) when you'll be totally exploited by then?
Uhm, the very fact that those societies (building on smaller blocks - remember, we can't really track more than few dozens individuals) survived means people are hoarders... (among other things)
Oh, and the money in present age has a nice property of the possibility of being, instinctively (not technically of course...so?), "all mine".
I can almost imagine that indies with a "risk"(sic) of making it too big, at least as far future MPEG-LA whims go, should precautionarily hide what equipment they use.
Only problem is, basically every camera that is a great deal for indy filmmaker also uses H264. And I can also almost imagine MPEG-LA analysing videos for camera "signatures"...
Highest paying jobs might also simply make them like that.
People are instinctively hoarders, getting & keeping what's valuable. It just so happens, as TFA claims, too many people convinced themselves that large sums of money are the most desirable loot.
And when you have so much of precious, perhaps many more people are starting to look suspicious; a threshold for "enemy" becomes that much lower.
He's most likely from Germany (being irritated at German dubs of...everything that's on TV), which means - in an area of the world which is not so dependant as, say, the US (at least that's the impression I get, also from this topic) on cable internet providers for high speed access; where such bundling is often not even available...
Stadiums are typically better for live sports BTW; or pubs, eventually.
I can't wait to see what they'll come up with for "wide field of view with comparable eye stereo", it appears to be really non-trivial thing to do (accidentally, a thing I was wondering about a bit - doing it properly probably requires quite insane optical system)
At the least, with "proper" zooming, we might finally have the ultimate geeky "romantic" photo; with stunning view of Mars moons.
I would guess Opera Mini will get soon a nicely integrated creation process and access to email account; so Opera Software will jump on the badwagon of hundreds of millions of people getting their first email adress (people in so called "3rd world countries", having access to the internet only via fairly simple phones; phones on which Opera Mini is very popular, it certainly helps it being #1 mobile web browser). Opera can also offer it in nice package to mobile carriers, I guess. Who knows, perhaps next step will be some integration with My Opera and also basic mobile client for that online community.
Same as many other free browsers which get part of their revenue from search engines + licensing fees from manufacturers who want to incorporate Opera tech into their products (Nintendo or some TV manufacturers for example); possibly also carriers including Opera Mini by default in handsets they offer.
Thing is, quite cheap and rather small laptops based on Intel CULV chips showed up recently; some of them certainly can do 10h, perhaps there are some with 12h. And they are fast, if needed.
On top of that, if I look at announcements of ARM netbooks - even though they will be purposely quite limited machines, it doesn't appear like manufacturers want a price reflecting that. Certainly not as long as there's not much competition yet, as long as they can offer it as a "premium" machine. Which has a big chance of killing them altogether...
Well, PS2 is a MIPS system...production continues and Sony stated it will continue as long as demand for consoles and games is there (new ones scheduled for this year, too)
That's probably in large part due to so called "3rd world" countries, but I'm sure you can pick one up easily where you are.
They didn't mention LyX too, I pressume (since you would mention it, I guess, while lamenting lack of LaTeX; reading TFA? Nah). Also quite nice and one would thought not too scary...

Well, and standards didn't exactly help those browsers which did try to stick to them back then...

Can they send nukes from orbit?
I wonder what could be the short term effect on prices of LG panels. Hey, if there would be more of them outside the US...

That's not a bad thing - there's a chance the boring guests will stop coming over, eventually.
It seems the solution is simply to not abandon the lighter lifestyle. Oh, and that means no official kids, too.
Highest paying jobs might also simply make them like that.
