I recall the screenshots of Linux on the HP netbooks being very good-looking. Is Dell doing such a thing or are they just sticking plain'old Ubuntu on their Inspiron Mini 9s?
edit: holy hell, either Slashdot's CSS is messed up or something's wrong with Safari 4. I'll guess the fault is with Slashdot since it's the first website out of 50 where I see any problem.
Developers who use DirectX are locking themselves up into Windows and Xbox.
Developers who use OpenGL are locking themselves up into Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Playstation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS (?), PSP (?).
Guess which one has more total marketshare?
Hint 1: both choices include Windows, so choose carefully.
Hint 2: over 25% of students on campus use a Mac. Grandma using her old Windows 98 PC at home to check email isn't a gamer yet is counted as part of the total Windows Marketshare.
First of all forget Lynx, normal users won't want to browse websites in text mode.
Second, yes Safari needs to be included in that list. See the new Safari 4 Beta and tell me Apple aren't the ones currently pushing web standards the most.
Third, "maybe Opera for people to buy"? You mean like almost a decade ago? Opera has been free for years.
Fourth: you list is missing Internet Explorer. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just mentioning it.
What moron modded me troll? Not only I'm not lying about it, it's Microsoft's own fault. Go check the source of the page, "among web site principals." really is a single paragraph although it's clearly the end of the paragraph preceding it.
To make things like YouTube and pr0n sites work you have to have Flash.
Wrong. All you need is a browser that HTML5 compliant. Safari on iPhone, iPod touch, Mac OS X and Windows can already play video in this manner. Firefox and Opera should also support this method pretty soon, with Internet Explorer 15 also supporting it around 2154.
And on top of that you can add the 10 million+ iPod touch. Given that there's no contract attached to the iPod touch and that it's available everywhere (no need for a carrier), I'm pretty sure it's also at least 10 million.
Is IE8 for Windows Vista only or can we install it on Windows XP too? Please tell me I won't have to manage yet another Microsoft OS through VMWare just to test websites in IE8...
Actually, if you made your website with Microsoft's conditionnal comments (which are, by any other definition, simple comments) and were smart enough to only assume specific versions/ranges (i.e. don't do "if GTE IE7", do "if IE7") then you'll be safe.
Please bring in IE8 already, if only to make IE6 go away. That thing is a menace.
Slashdot Mirror
I also tried to do the same thing last year. Except that I'm Canadian.
The police didn't find it funny that I tried to burn a Canadian Tire on Earth Day just to piss off the hippies in the neighborhood.

You'd still get people complaining that they can see the scanlines or something.

The UI on Windows, as of today, isn't supposed to be crap anymore.
See: Safari 4 Beta for Windows.
Saying that "martians created humans" only takes the "why do we exist?" question and changes it to "why do martians exist?".
You didn't really answer anything, the whole "why does life exists" question still remains.
What is your favorite color?

Why is the part "among web site principals." on its own line? Can't Microsoft even do simple paragraphs right?

It's going for a walk and it feels happy!

Tell me about it. EULAs are retarded.

We can only hope that IE8 will make IE6 go away sooner than later.

Score: +several millions insightful
Still better than those who use the word "squirt" in their marketing slogans.
Yes of course. Assholes from Uzbekistan! You be right, you friend of gloriful nation of Kazakhstan!
Microsoft is finally losing its grip on computer companies. Finally.
I think the poster meant "he's stuck selling computers with Microsoft Windows".
Nope, they only support half the theft.
From this point on, everybody needs to stop their illegal torrents when they reach 50%. Thank you.
LizardKing? From the Triton demogroup?
