We heard you liked Netflix so we had some hackers, hack your hack to hack wine to hack firefox on windows hack. Gotta give the guys credit for figuring this out, but sheesh that's quite a software stack just to watch a grade B movie from 1982.
Binding users into a contract that takes away their rights to litigate is just plain wrong. Class-action or not. If I don't like something Amazon has done with my privacy, history, purchasing info, whatever I should have every tool available to slap the shit out of them in court. Simply saying "Oh Hai, yeah that class action thing paypal did? We're doing it too so... lol.. fuck you. Love, Amazon" seems to me is just side-stepping the law in case they do something nefarious. Intentional or not.
I can totally see how Amazon might be worried a bunch of patent-troll lawyers might band together on a class action and sue them for selling Android devices with "Rectangles and Rounded Corners" or something just as douchey but then the focus should be on changing those f*cked up patent laws, not pissing on the consumer. Amazon, put your effort into patent reform if you're really worred about the latter. Don't screw the customer.
my first mobile product will be for Android and I'll do iOS second.
We do both platforms but tailor the development and release cycle to the region. Releases or updates pertaining to the international market always get the Android version first. If it's mainly a US based application, we do the iOS platform first. Reason being, we want a large user base latching onto new releases and updates so we can get more accurate bug reports/fixes. There always tends to be a large amount of useless "static" in the feedback forms however the Android feedback generally tends to be more useful to the developers.

Do you realize that many of your 32-bit applications would freak out in a 4GB memory space?
Precisely how? A 32-bit app, architecturally, is designed to access up to 4Gig of addressable Memory. This is the reason for 32 bits. If the application in question is "freaking out" then it's either not a true 32-bit application, or it's been written with heavy use of kludge.
We will "get get off the stuff" one way, or another. One way is by using less energy and getting by with a bit less while alternative forms of energy are being implemented.
The other way is by continuing to consume the way we have been for the past 100+ years and exhausting the environment of it's current hospitality.
My $5 bucks goes with #2 because people, as a whole, are incapable of of doing less now, to have more later. It's just not how we're wired. Good luck.
Because adding completely new features and redesigning the entire system is so much easier not to mention alienating what little user base you have left. Not to mention this is the exact same reason that drives people to hate proprietary software.
Seriously; thanks go out to all the Gnome developers for their efforts over the years but you guys have really been making some boneheaded decisions.

if we want to impact global warming we have to use nuclear power.
I'd agree if it weren't for that fact that corruption[1] in the regulation systems[2], and at other levels, leave nuclear energy too hazardous to be a reliable alternative.
Think of it this way. You buy an electric car. The charging cable becomes frayed. The government offers you an energy credit of $1500 to buy a new cable. You take the credit and buy a new Bass Boat and duct tape the cable. Eventually, the cable starts a fire in your garage and burns down an entire city block killing 1500 people. This is the way our private energy companies work and the reason we can't have nice things. Like safe nuclear energy.
INSIST that the best no CO2 power generation options we have right now be abandoned.
It's may be the most C neutral, but the safety factor makes it a moot point. Would you pack up all your belongings and take the wife and kids to live in Fukishama? No.
then the worlds turning its back on its functioning nuclear power plants has to stop!
I think the world is looking for a safer, more environmentally friendly, alternatives[3] but Enriched Uranium power needs to be shelved until the world is more responsible with it. It's just too dangerous in the hands of fools.

So why exactly would AMD start axing developers in areas related to that?
Because maybe it's one step away from closing the front doors? AMD has their financial ass in a financial sling. I hope they pull through it but a cut like this is a bad sign.

Oh, you must be referring to EBS*. There are only two reasons why "Teh Cloudz" are so popular right now. It's sexy to do (like outsourcing was 10 years ago), and PHB doesn't have to staff an Admin to keep a Hypervisor up. In a few years, the cost of Cloud computing along with massive outages when things do go wrong, are going to be prohibitive to it's longevity. It's a fad. Being sold on the assumption of 100% uptime. First time PHB gets a scathing call from the CEO because EBS coughed a hairball, he will look at other options.
political support for unions, even among many Democrats, pretty much dried up a long time ago.
The way you word that is a bit misleading. Support for labor unions has been deliberately and systematically eliminated BECAUSE of their support for the Democratic party*. Their dwindling numbers are not so much happenstance.
