RTFA. The OOXML recommendation is only a minor part of a bigger set of policies. If you'd spent the time reading the article instead of typing, you'd know that.
The other catch is that they recommended, rather than mandated it. It's more like, most departments use it already, so we're already compliant, give somebody a gold star and a promotion.
But remember Steve said "web apps only" when the iPhone launched. You're getting things out of order. The apps and App Store happened some time after the iPhone launched.'
They are obviously new sales, otherwise the market would be growing.
So no new sales means that the market is growing.
Most sensible people will be buying iPhones until Google stop demanding an Internet connection to use their search engine instead of installing to local SD card.
Karma's a bitch, and it appears in this case it's the Pope's bitch.
I agree with you and I'll wait for an Android tablet. The web, maybe a PDF viewer and some way to watch videos that aren't converted for iOS and I'm set. (Yeah, GoodReader and AirVideo will do that job, but the iPad is pricey for what I'll do with it.)
Bah, just get the video of him saying 'no third party apps on the iPhone' or 'cut and paste isn't needed' or 'multi-tasking is bad' or any of the other statements he's contradicted.
If Gerry Harvey had stayed away from Ruslan Kogan, I wouldn't have even looked at his site. He gets the odd mention in APC but that never raised my interest. I think Gerry may have learned his lesson this time.
10% and the previous regime was a lot different. Software was 0%. Hardware was 22% Luxuries like flavoured milk and cosmetics were ~30%. If you were in the right business you could get a tax exemption by filling in a bunch of paperwork. Computer hardware required two separate registration numbers because people were rorting the first one.
Also note, sales tax is federal. The states get their cut from that 10%.
The problem is it isn't the consumers who really pay the tax, it's the retailers.
The retailers have to add 10% GST to their sale price. They get a deduction of GST from their costs. How exactly do they get stuck with paying the GST?
Every purchase within your jurisdiction. What they want is actually an import duty. It comes down to a choice between laws applying at the buyer's location or the seller's.
I may have to sniff some traffic going to Apple. For some reason their software updates kill our filters. I wouldn't be surprised to find they've made a 'custom' HTTP for themselves.

~110 years actually.
It's not the elected muppets, but the well-place bureaucrats that made these decisions. What idiot would let politicians near anything like this?

OOXML is a recommendation, not a mandate. It's a small part of a bigger set of policies that seemed to be aimed at things like Wikileaks.
Whoosh, This is what I'm talking about.
Can't look at Hansard. It keeps getting blocked by our profanity filters.
Only last week there were warnings about dodgy DNA test kits being mailed out. I'm sure the masses won't equate the two.

OK, now you're not even trying. Kids today.
>But at the moment the iOS SDK and IDE are still far superior to Android's offerings. Just try them both if you don't believe me.
I will, but I'm having trouble installing the iOS SDK. I guess it's just a Windows 7 thing.

Too expensive in votes as well as implementation costs.
GST is a furphy and anyone capable of doing the numbers would see that. Few do
And even fewer seem to care. This whole campaign by a few rich merchants has been met with an almost universal "piss off."

I swear there's something rotten in the state of Denmark. There must be crime going on.

Hell no. That's why I'm surprised when people talk about cleaners in the rooms. We'll vacuum ourselves, thanks.
I never knew why when I started the philosophy was no cleaners in the computer room, we do our own vacuuming. I've since worked it out.
