It's hardly the only article to have elaborated on how bad Nintendo's developer support was in the run up to the WiiU launch. It's telling that all the rebuttals that you're citing are related to the current state of WiiU development, not the events that the article actually describes.
It hardly takes a planet-sized intellect to reconcile an early WiiU developer stating that it was an uphill struggle with incomplete tools, with a present-day developer years later stating that they find it really easy and that they think the other guy must have been using early and incomplete tools.
And neither constitute "FUD" in any sense but "thing that's negative about something I like".
I misread the tone of your post, I assumed it was one of those "I can't believe that 24 hours is considered a long time in today's society" remarks and not a joke.
I find low and regular doses of caffeine to be much more effective than single, high doses. I have a half-litre thermos full of filter coffee which gives me about 50mg of caffeine four times a day. (And because I don't crash or get insomnia, I'm not going out and buying a second or third Red Bull to keep me going.) There seems to be good evidence that low doses of caffeine are effective as performance enhancers, without having particularly serious side-effects. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691502000960
Yes, the long-term memory system is used for everything older than a few minutes. They're different functional units of the brain. Maybe if you had a longer attention span you could've looked up what "long-term memory" means and figured that out for yourself? Maybe learned something?
You need to understand that the NPAFP they're writing about is every instance of acute flaccid paralysis detected by the polio monitoring system in that country, including all the ones associated with polio, and all of the ones associated with other diseases that are well known to have AFP as a syndrome. NPAFP isn't a real thing, it's an editorial construct of that opinion piece.
You're arguing that commercial spaceflight stands on the shoulders of necessarily-government-funded, unprofitable research; the parent post seems to be arguing that going forward, it is more efficient to let private enterprise do the work. You both seem to be correct from where I'm standing. If it's cheaper to let private businesses run the launches for publicly-funded space operations, then I'm all for it.
Meetings in 2007 and 2008 would have been after Nintendo released the Wii and Wii Fit, so I'm not sure how their timeline of infringement was supposed to work.
Wii came out in 2005 and Wii Fit came out in 2008, long before the 3DS was released. If this meeting happened about the 3DS release, then Nintendo had long since shipped the products IA ostensibly objected to.
I like the idea of a higher-resolution monitor letting me fit more in to the same space, but what's the physical size of a legible character on one of those things?
This has nothing to do with the market in bitcoin speculation. It's about the fact that a majority of the cryptographic network (which is what bitcoin miners are) has to concur for a transaction (sending money to someone else) to be considered valid. When you control 51% of the computing power, you can start faking transactions.
When iOS 4 came out, you switched to Android because you wanted more software updates? Summer 2010, at the height of the Android software update panic, when Motorola had to be pressured to even update the Droid to 2.2, and most phones were lucky to see an update outside of the first six months?
Then when you couldn't get a new version of MacOS for a five-year-old laptop, rather than just install Windows 7 on it, you bought a whole new computer?
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Their support for that assertion is a link to one of their own articles:
1) From three months ago 2) Before 10.9 launched 3) Right after a major OSX 10.8 software update had been released 4) Which has had its thesis contradicted by the series of subsequent updates you list
I don't think Sophos are in the "critical thinking" business.
Far be it for me to say that a security company was using dodgy numbers to hype its product, but their MacOS adoption numbers are soley from Sophos-for-MacOS users, which I'd have to imagine is a really spectacularly unrepresentative sample. And their assertions that Mavericks was the only way to get security updates for MacOS going forwards seems to be contradicted by the fact that the previous version of MacOS was security patched when Mavericks was launched.

You literally just criticised it for being from an anonymous source.
Have you tried one? It's really nice, having the controls separated like that is much easier on your wrists and posture in general.

How can a first-person anecdotal account constitute FUD?
That's a popular little trivia fact that unfortunately isn't supported by the evidence. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691502000960

Criticises religion, "literally" places blame on satan. :)

Well that's what I was asking, hasn't the App Store replaced the old "software update" mechanism for the delivery of OS-level updates?

I don't think Sophos are in the "critical thinking" business.
Don't all OSX updates come through the App Store now? Where they then show you a half-screen banner prompting you to download 10.9 if it's compatible?
Yeah, it's so hard to get useful software for *nix systems.
Err, if it's being repossessed you hadn't actually finished paying for it in the first place.
