Wow. What a fascinating history. Thank you for that. I knew Tetris deals had a checkered past, but did not know it was behind rise and fall of mighty companies of 80s,90s and today. And sad story too, how the inventor of the game got almost nothing out of it!

>> Taxes are withheld from the wages of the vast majority of them for services they'll never receive but are available to citizens (social security, etc.).
I think you are confused between illegal immigrants and those on H1 (and such) visa.
>> Probably a fair indication of what kind of leader you have on your hands... definitely marketing/business for Gates.
Not sure about that, but your comment is a 100% accurate indication of what kind of fanboi you are. FFS, just because Steve Wonderful Jobs' name is on all those patent does not mean he actually deserves it/invented it - its more like my boss few years back who was first in the queue to get awards and last whenever shit hit the fan.
>> If this doesn't make them fall apart, more time will. People will become disinterested as the fad wears out and the money scam gets old.
Would that "more time" be "thousands of years"? I don't see Christians, Muslims, Hindus - any and all - becoming disinterested in any other religion even after thousands of years.
Do we say web application or we say "Firefox application"? Do we say "car has four tires" or "BMW has four tires"? WTF is wrong with just mentioning phone applications? Since when iphone became the only phone capable of having "applications"? Too many people on too much kool aid here.
Forgive him. He was a regular, normal child till the age of 5. After a nasty incident when a monkey ran away with his candy, he overnight became an overzealous advocate of all the laws (and fantasies in) which monkeys are prevented from stealing candies from children. His this obsession is now manifested in a lot of different ways.
He will be fine once we take him back to the clinic and give him his medicines he has missed for two days.
But that's the point. Those people (grandma/grandpa) are already helped by others and set to work with an alternate browser. Now if this is true (that MS automatic update set to "install updates automatically" and it makes IE8 default), then all that hard work is lost.
I don't know about you, but I can count at least 10 computers (other than mine) I have set FF to be default browser. I don't think its fair to undo that work (if this article is true, which I doubt).

>> Maybe a real statistician can tell me if I'm off to a good start.
Yes, and if you continue this way, you will never arrive at 42. Your loss!
I am sure you have seen this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgZKjJt-TkU
BTW, what is common between Starbucks, BMW and Apple?
There have been MANY phones with front facing camera FFS.
Are you a douchebag or just another apple user?
But don't worry. You are not alone. Wait till the apple army with modpoints arrive here.
Only if they keep themselves up to date by reading tech-centric sites such as slashdot.
Oh wait...!!
>> you can change your chances of survival in a plane as well
You bet! I always carry my own personal parachute in the cabin. Now only if they let me open just one door when the plane is going down.

Well said, sir.
A religion = a cult that has survived long enough to reach critical mass
>> Taxes are withheld from the wages of the vast majority of them for services they'll never receive but are available to citizens (social security, etc.).
I think you are confused between illegal immigrants and those on H1 (and such) visa.
And I thought I was sarcastic enough.
Note that this app uses (or going to use) HTML 5. Not sure if it already contains a tag for encryption.

But that's the irony! Some (not all) of Google's Beta products are miles better than other "production" products. Go figure.
You forgot the biggest of the cult... Apple.
You bet!

Whoa! I am insulted by AC! I must now go and die of shame!
I think I will just do what I have been thinking for a while, remove "Apple" section by going to the preferences. Enough is enough.
Time to burn some karma...

Why? Do you think only Ballmer does not like the Church of Steve Jobs? It can also be people who, by some magic of their own, are not affected by RDF.
This is because all the followers of The Church of Steve Jobs are promoting anything iphone/apple on firehose.
What bias are you talking about? There is no pro-Apple bias here on /.
If MS fixes more security related issues, M$ SUCKS!
If Apple fixes shitload of more security related issues, APPLE IS AWESOME!
This is not my opinion, this is FACT!!!!!!!!111
