To hurry adoption along even more I expect them to be more aggressive with Windows 7's EOL schedule than they were with XP, which was generous to start and then extended.
Here's what they'll do:
Announce a critical "newly discovered" bug in Windows XP whose only remedy is one of the following: -
(1) Upgrade to the newest and greatest OS, (2) Take the system offline, or (3) Run an update, which degrades previously running applications.
They will add that option 1 is the safest. When this happens, all those 10% remaining holdouts will `toe the line`, so to speak.
I am sorry to say but it's folks like you that are responsible for the USA's [finacial] woes it finds itself in at this time.
To make matters worse, your statements do not reflect an iota of sorrow for the tax paying ordinary American!
Those five weeks should be cut down to say two, and your salary shuld be reduced by at least 20%. I can still find folks willing to do your job under such conditions.
With Mozilla's frequency of spitting out new and newer versions, I just can't keep up!
One wonders why the folks at Mozilla won't spruce up what is currently available by for instance adding enterprise management features instead of upping versions as if it's their [only] call.
Once those folks believe that you can "bite back", they will fall silent. After all, they know that what they are doing isn't good by any measure. Trust me.
If so, then I apologize for thinking we as customers are always being cheated. If on the other hand, selling them at 50% off still returns some profit, something must change. It's that capitalism?
'When the FBI applied to seize the Megaupload site in 2012, it said the company had failed to delete pirated content and cited the earlier search warrant against the continued existence of 36 of the same 39 files.' He added: '[t]he FBI used the fact the files were still in the account of the... user to get the warrant to seize our own domains. This is outrageous.'"
So is this how things are run in "The Nation of Laws?" If whatever was done is lawful, then I rather stay put. Someone will have a lot of work to convince me to immigrate to the USA.
I mean...photos of one [famous] American company's early products? What has Slashdot become? Geez! Is this still news for nerds, stuff that matters? I guess I should post photos of earlier Motorola products, then claim space on Slashdot, right?
Women are not allowed to leave the kingdom without permission from their male guardian, who must give his consent by signing what is known as the 'yellow sheet' at the airport or border."
I mean, the [mighty] USA has never complained about this kind of treatment. Sounds like hipocrisy to me.
Apple to produce a full copy of the settlement agreement 'without delay,' subject to an 'attorneys' eyes only' designation, meaning it will not be made public."
But folks still say this [closed] American judicial system "is the best!"
Your company appears to be shipping kernel features in RTS OS that are not made available under the GPL...
I've heard such statements before. They remind me of SCO and their lawyers back in the last decade, when they accused Linux of containing copyrighted source code.
Result: Not good. I hope it isn't the case for Red Hat.
I ask because unlike other 'major' western democracies, the UK has no written constitution and its doing well.
So again I ask: Should China have the "rule of law", just because some western countries have it?
Let's remember that it's one thing to have rules and it's another to actually follow them. Some governments in the west have ignored their own rules too. Just saying.
It's about time western companies towed the line of the so called developing world. Good China is standing up to Google.
Governments in the west can be hypocrites who on one hand fight for the "protection of life, liberty and the persuit of hapipiness", while on the other, they encourage abortion; like *cough, cough* Canada, *cough*, the fetus in this case not given a chance to enjoy the same freedoms.
You might not want to hear this but KDE is a memory hog in general. This project, like many other Linux based ones, will suck big-time and ultimately fail depending on who you talk to.
This would be an opportune time for Apple to buy Sharp, re-organize the beast then ramp up displays and other parts for its booming business. If Sharp collapses, Apple will be in trouble - guaranteed.
...and filed a patent for the implementation or call it execution....otherwise some clever company, that is better known for suing others in the industry,; that's had one of its famous patents invalidated recently, will file...and sue.

Google was quoted as having said that they have a 400 year advantage over Apple maps.
Questions are:
Is this true?
Does it make sense?
Is there a way Apple can reduce these several centuries into a few years?
I'll answer myself on that last question:
Yes they can; by throwing one tenth of their $120 billion at the effort. I'd be happy to be part of it.

They were in negotiations about being acquired by Dice.

Why? If I may ask?
Yes! wWell, I do.
How about going negative on them as well? It's worked for decades in the USA, (think politics).
It has advantages with some notable examples.

I thought that that freedom [of speech] extended to those you might not necessarily agree with as well, right?
I'm sure there are those who'd label the USA as a country of terror...not that I agree with them, but how about that basic freedom of speech?

...You might wonder why:
That's because an IP address is not a human being when it comes to matters of law.
This is what our friendly folks in Germany will find out sooner or later. The trouble is that they'll have wasted so much time. Sad indeed.

Question: Who exactly is the Android Community? Is it Google? Is it the folks at XDA? This statement is just confusing and vague!
What can the authors of the above statement really do? Sue the Xiaomi folks? Impose sanctions on China if it fails to toe the line?
Good luck with that!
Why won't they list the so called "Android's restrictions?"
They appear to have made up this statement...just for fun.

So you're too lazy to simply click that link in the summary body, right?
This would sum it up well for you: -
MATE is basically a less ugly version of all GNOME releases; CINNAMON is even better.
Dude, in which jurisdiction, if I may ask? Or did you just make this one up?
Sorry, I had to ask.

And you think whatever was done was an error, right?
I will not blame you for that, but I will assure you that it is part of a well planned marketing gimmick by many of these companies.
