That was my biggest complaint about Windows 8; it broke that workflow by splitting things into "Apps", "Settings", and "Files", which it determined pretty arbitrarily.
Although I haven't used it, Windows 8.1 seems to have fixed that issue by combining them again.
Install something like XBMC, have no password set up, maybe a wifi network for extended selection, and with the HDMI connection, you can quickly hook it up to any TV in your home, and maybe your friends' homes too.
Not necessarily. I don't particularly care about Flappy Bird, but let's look at Chess. Chess took centuries to develop, and almost anyone could reproduce it now.
Dvorak is easily selected in Windows, OS X, and Linux, plus it's sufficiently different from QWERTY that you wouldn't get them confused. I'd say that's worth the one-time cost of an extra couple weeks of learning Dvorak.
Seattle has something similar on the 520 bridge. People with out of state license plates don't get billed. Last I checked, occasionally locals would get bills in the mail (in unmarked white envelopes, of course) if they had the same license plates as the out-of-state ones.
I have my own domain name for my email which currently uses google apps (mainly out of laziness). I would just stop using them and set up my own SMTP server.
I'm not sure how they manage to do it, seeing as how much longer most of the text on signage and product packaging becomes so much longer when translated.
Written like someone who's never studied French! A large portion of the letters are silent (also their vowels are pronounced more quickly than in English).
"Ils nagent" (they swim) is pronounced like "ill naj".
This is, in part, because municipal annexation is difficult in Massachusetts. If you compare the "urban" (4.18 million) and "metro" (4.59 million) populations, you'll see that it's comparable to other large cities with a larger city proper. For instance, Berlin's Metro area is 4.5 million.

Maybe not competitive with the top 50 cities, but easily comparable to the top 100 in the world.
I don't much care either way, but he could presumably fill out some new version of the farm use exemption that refunds or discounts his taxes based on the odometer rather than gasoline usage.

Don't forget this one:
Disable Full Screen "Warning" Popup
full-screen-api.warning.delay = 0
full-screen-api.warning.timeout = 0
Luckily my phone is not on the list, or I'd have to disable updates/buy an older one.
I do the same thing for applications, files, etc.

A tiny portable media PC, perhaps.

Animated gifs were one of the many reasons I hated MySpace. Luckily you can disable auto-playing videos in your Facebook video settings.
New York City used to have a pneumatic tube system. It's a shame there's nothing similar today.
Good points!

Enough Plumbers is my favorite Mario flash ripoff.

The Internet should be global.
But then you might have to clean whatever you store the smoothies in. There's no escape!
Not that I think this will happen at all, but if it did, I'd bet on some countries ignoring it and a tech boom occurring there.
If this happened in the US, I would relocate to another country, which I'd rather not do.

Just buy your own modem too; it will save you money in the long run anyway.

I already make my own categories using the tags feature in Google apps. If this is broken I may migrate my email to another service.

I have a flight from Seattle to Boston that stops in NYC tonight. Looks like I'll have something to do! Hope I remember all the regex syntax...
Yep. I've been using Mac OS X since 10.0, and I've left the platform due to the downgrades of 10.7 and the plans for 10.8.

I think he's referring to the Gil Amelio years.
