Which is ironic because it starts with "Win" but will probably end up being a huge epic "Fail". Backward compatibility can only go so far, especially the transition between a desktop OS made for a keyboard and mouse and a tablet OS made for a touch interface.
And regardless, your situation does not apply to the rest of Canada either.
I'd like to see the numbers for all ISP choices that Canadians have where they live. Just because there's 20+ ISPs doesn't mean they cover all areas simultaneously.
From my point of view, only people in the big cities have ISP choices.
Just because they're adding new iOS-like features doesn't mean they're removing things that were previously working.
Let's take the scrollbar example. When was the last time that you actually used the scrollbar to scroll a web page? We've had a scrollwheel on the mouse for almost a decade now. Laptops have trackpads. Who still uses the scrollbar to scroll? It's been relegated to a visual indicator which takes room for no reason. The iOS approach is the right one. When you scroll, the scrollbar appears and shows you the same information as before: it shows you where you are in the page (the position of the scrollbar) and the relative size of the content currently on your screen (the size of the scrollbar).
Until proof to the contrary, they're positioning their App Store as the easiest and safest way to get software for Mac OS X, not the only way. Seeing how much spyware and viruses is in Windows software, I can't blame them.
If you think the Japanese phone market is still stuck in the stone age, I hope you never visit Canada. Your cellular data monthly cap (if any) is probably 100 times bigger than our cable-provided internet, at 10 times the speed, for probably half the price.
I pay 25.00$CAD/month for 2Mbps cable with a 35GB upload+download monthly cap.
Actually, a properly coded website will not require Silverlight, Flash, Java or even Javascript in order to work (i.e. navigate and display text+image contents). Such websites should be able to be used on a C64 if it has a text mode browser such as Lynx.
The IE6 alpha hack has performance and stability issues. I simply use IE6-only conditional CSS (which is a regular comment from the point of view of standards and other browsers) and simply serve a different image, which is a simple mesh grid. If the result isn't good enough, I simply don't use any. As long as the website works, IE6 users should be more than happy. Doesn't matter if it doesn't look quite the same as it should be.

How about a more direct poll: Do you have a Facebook account yes/no.
And the next one, same thing but for Twitter.
Here you go. Link.
And when the Sun dies, we can all blame the Oracle.
This controller looks more like a cross between the Wii classic controller and an Intellivision controller.

Maybe the scrollbar appears if the cursor is over it?
You say that like I have any choice of ISP.

That's okay, the Cold War was cancelled out by Global Warming.

He's saying that someone who doesn't have a Mac or PC could buy an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad and use that as his/her only computing device.
If it doesn't have your music, you upload your own files.
Stock usually goes up on rumors and down the day of a Keynote.
Stop screwing around.
Of course they're not salted. They're checking their sodium intake!
