that was true 5 years ago, nowdays everything is done on the Web, via browser. Replacing Ubuntu / Chrome with Windows / Chrome brings you zero value for the effort. Portion of market called "gamers" might do this, but they usually don't buy this super-cheap boxes with basic GPU.
Maybe life can induce itself thanks to QM nature of physics. As TFA noted, intelligent life is billions years away from its origins. Therefore, it is impossible to find out how it emerged in something like VERY improbable process. Fact that we are observing universe induce (back in time) this event happened, without even needing to define EXACT way it happened. It is only needed to be defined in "resolution" that we can observe today: earliest fossils. Before that, answer can be easily be "unedfined", just like previous path of observed photon. All what we can have is set of probabilities linked with individual theories, all "true" and "false" in the same time.
Each successful platform must have single API that pretty much covers everything that you might want to create on that platform. From threading, devices (USB), 2D, 3D, sound, input to web rendering, notifications, etc., well documented and organized. Thats what Android is doing, and what Ubuntu (and other distros) is NOT doing. Therefore, difference in acceptance of both products is huge, albeit both are basically Linux kernel with several modules on top of it. All apps on Android follow same basic "ideas" on how to write app, install app, launch app and switch between apps, all of that in easy way. Ubuntu does not have "writing app" covered at comparable level, installing and running is solved well for free apps only. Bottom line is: Ubuntu needs simplification and unification, removing 90% of "Linux applications" from current repository and adding new "Ubuntu applications" following Ubuntu API instead.
they sent word "neutrino" but on the other end, they recieved message "Thanks fucking god you _finally_ figured this out. Lets just say that Milky Way contains four intelligent civilizations, and yours is not among three smartest".
That is really way to go, because nature is doing the same: it renders (and precisely calculates) only parts of environment that we see and process, otherwise they remain blurred and random.
I think reason for this is more constant, albeit smaller, amount of food produced by agriculture. Human organisms need foon on daily basis, and if you cannot hunt/gather for 2 days, for whatever reason, your family is starving. Agriculture provides less food for more work, but variability in production is lower and doesn't depend so much on luck or skills.
One company selling overpriced gadget is suing another company selling overpriced gadget. In two years all their infringments will be resolved by everyone buying Chinese $100 full-featured tablets.
In the case it is beyond year 2112 right now, and you came to see how stupid we were back then, here is message from the distant past from your wise geek grand-grandfathers: _Eat Your Shit Smartass_ !

compulsory religious instruction in government schools
Talking from Czech perspective, I wouldn't be worried about that. Anyone proposing crucifix or priest in public schools (which means almost all schools), would be considered to be lunatic.
Students usually write various remarks inside textbook. Finger is not ideal tool for this (and keyboard is useless for quick equation, graph or schema). So, this will have also downside for students, especially if SW is general "reader", not tailored for this specific use.
ActiveX, once you (or BFU) enabled it, can do anything user account is allowed to do. NaCl program is sandboxed, so even when you allowed it to run, it cannot do anything harmful.
For whatever reason, in USA - Iran battle I feel USA is somehow more evil and aggressive side... and given that Iran is theocracy, thats quite an achievement.

or even better, Vista cluster of these, emulated on top of JavaScript-based VM.
Also, their own HTTP Speed+Mobility implementation is completely different from one they proposed for standardization.

in EU we have ballot screen, so nobody knows what "Bing" is and there is little desire to find out.

For this purpose notebook with ChromeOS (or ChromiumOS) seems like good solution.
Point of video is: "If you own Google stocks, sell".

Exectly. Producing WP phones nowdays seems like pissing in your pants for warmth.

And there is zero sense of humor in the whole thing. Like if it was written by an accountant.
Some of them were playing violin, while rest enjoyed walking up and down the stairs.
I, for one, welcome our new satellite-interference-simulating-before-landing-and-raping-us overlords.

why is problem to negotiate spectrum availability when ID of provider changes? This non-issue was solved decades ago.
