Oh great, even the news are going 'apps' now. Can't wait to see the 'apps AC' comment on this one.
Tech support for clients who are having problems and want to call tech support? Do you think the municipality will have a phone line when the ISPs are the one making the money?

"Thankyou" or "Thank you" should be the same thing, not that it should be allowed to be trademarked in the first place anyway.
Try and register "App le" or "Micro soft", you won't get very far. Even with a different spelling, MikeRoweSoft lost its case.

And we're safe anyway. It's really easy to know what's dangerous or not on the Internet since the creation of the evil bit.
I voted VIA.
You really think AMD will mess around with Intel's CPU?
El Capitan hackintosh?
Components? Any problems?
Coal? So hydro, nuclear, wind and solar don't exist?
Come to eastern Canada and ask people about coal being needed to produce electricity. They'll look at you like you're from the 1800's.
