Companies use business practices and marketing to increase their revenue? Run for the hills!
I don't understand what's new about polaritons in semiconductor nanostructures. You only need a multi quantum well structure and pump it at the right angle with a laser.
We already have civilization, no need for Apple to invent/impose it's own. These crimes you are referring to are already punishable by existing law (hence the name "criminal").
The Internet may be the new general purpose PC. Lots of cloud based services include APIs that you can leverage.
The Cloud is still a walled garden because it's not you who sets policy there, but the owner of the cloud. Not seeing that wall ATM doesn't mean it's non-existant.
Here in southern Germany you still have to test mushrooms and wild boar for radioactivity because of the Chernobyl accident 1986. It's mostly due to Cs137 which has a half life of ~ 30 years. I remember having to stay indoors for days as a child (i was 5 at that time) because of that accident. The linear distance to Chernobyl is about 1400 km.
You mean the stupid animations that allow you to switch desktops in a flash and make Windows 7's "rad" desktop look like a poor wannabe?
Yeah, that one. ctrl-alt-up/down/left/right was always faster for me without a stupid animation.
Or the full-blown office package, complete with a project management application that is completely lacking in OpenOffice.org?
Why would i want to use an office package from a project that has a habit off toppling it's well established and proven paradigms? LaTeX is enough for me, thankyouverymuch.
Or do you mean the ontology-based (A.I.) desktop search?
AFAICS Nepomuk is not a KDE project but one with many participants (of which no one seems to be the KDE project). KDE only implements it.
If the quality of the other videos is anything like the ones for refraction and convex lenses I won't watch anymore of these. No mention of Fermat's principle when dealing with both of these and no mention of paraxial approximation when dealing with lenses? Not a good lesson.
The point is, they don't have to declare the existence of some new property of reality but maybe can explain it (if the physics and math hold) with existing properties. Occams razor.

It's still slow here. It takes Dolphin about a second to repaint it's window after a resize. That hasn't changed since 4.0

I think you are missing an "h" on your cents/kW.

Prepare to be drowned in irrelevant data.

That's only insightful if you didn't care to read/watch the talk. He actually is arguing against locked down devices.
And anyone who uses it for real protection would never base their acceptance of a key on the short ID anyhow.
I wonder what Manning would have done. Someone who doesn't even know how to turn off the logging feature in his IM client...

Which is more related to France than the US.

I would call that very much polluting.
If you mean notifyd: those vanish after some time while notifications via taskbar are visible till acted upon. That's a huge difference.
except maybe for people who use netbooks.
No. I find i pretty unusable without a large screen.

What exactly stops you from using GNOME Shell for "real, productive work"?
It crawls to a halt when i connect an external display. Right-click context menus (nautilus) can be partially hidden by the panel.
It sounds like you want a list of running apps while typing up documents and I fail to see the usage scenario.
Flash the entry in the taskbar when an application changes it's state in a predefinded way.
You have a windows key on your touchscreen? How odd is that...

Sorry, currently our video library can only be watched from within the United States
... a garbage can. It fulfills it's role: containing garbage.
