both could potentially be an issue. And by things, I don't just mean apps - amazon might require that on a phone with amazon's market that it has X feature or Y feature locked, such as tethering or bloatware.
This is not a slippery slope scenario. Botnetted individuals have been cut off for years, so that's not new at all.
Meanwhile, that comment in the article about "Razor thin internet margins" is a load of complete and utter bullshit. Comcast's revenues, as one example, have been on the up for over 4 years straight, up and through these "troubled economic times". If the margin goes down but the volume goes up exponentially then focusing on margin is a load of crap.
hate to break it to ya, as you already know, but businesses aren't exactly known to be good at long term decisions when it comes to technology.
Good at deciding the investment, sure, but actual *good* long term tech decisions? don't exist nor will it be easy, mostly because tech is interchanging a bit too much to ever be able to reasonably predict long term. That's even if you do make your stuff compliant and/or compatible.
firefox with just adblock + noscript is pretty darn secure, in fact substantially more than IE, overall. Question is how much work to set it up properly.
Well, thats the point - they can't really lock down firefox if they allow it to be installed right now. Also the rest, the "less applications = better" concept.
many companies make this argument, that because they can't use AD for everything under the sun, it can't be approved for corporate.
I personally don't care, but many corporate offices do. Then comes the argument of "oh we'll be supporting two browsers" as opposed to "it would work in all of them if it wasn't programmed like shit".
People want to be able to enforce policies via AD on firefox/chrome, to control addons and security settings, etc. This is currently available via a few specific tools designed for it, but it's not "formal via Mozilla/Google".
once firefox and/or chrome have enterprise tools to make it work with activedirectory, you'll see IE share drop to 0. Until then, it's sadly a bit higher than you think it is.
while they're doing interesting things in IE9, I'd love to see MS acknowledge that a majority of the people who use IE are either forced or don't even know there are alternatives.
eh, I hate to agree with this, but it's pretty true.
MS is known for buying out an issue if necessary, and that includes lawsuits. I mean how many people were originally parties to the samba case, and how many were bought out? All but 1. It's not the first time, either.
bwahahahaha what a troll. What a deliberate, obvious troll. You should have used republican talking points.
SCO/Darl Mcbride never won any case. Nobody has settled with SCO either, in fact SCO is in bankruptcy. Why again? Because of all that stuff they "owned"? Is that where the "people will settle" BS comes from? Because patent trolls rarely win, as recent studies have shown. So there is a reason to not settle: you can save more money by going through the courts, because the more you cost the competitor (microsoft), the less they're going to be willing to go after you again.
Have a patent of theirs invalidated and they can't go after anyone else for it either. expose the company as a subsidiary of microsoft. Either of these are retaliatory options.
So lets get to #2, the only reason anyone has any issues of "idenmnity" is because Microsoft is suing their competitors through subsidiaries. However, there is still a second important factor: do you have to pay anything to create your own implementation of android? No. Do you have to pay for indemnification? no.
what you're stating is almost along the same lines as trying to claim x264 is free, which might be true if people didn't look for more information.
uh? His post was legitimate and valid, and his did indeed have more value than the one that made it to the frontpage. I absolutely agree 100%. However, posting your own post in your own post is a bit excessive, and there could have been better ways to do this than just repost your entire freakin story as the first comment.
It's not about where you're schooled, it's about what you do with it. You don't have to go to ivy league or a public school or get schooling at all if you figure out a way to be successful.
This is the part I always wondered about. why haven't they at least tried to have new military spec radiation hardened chips created (faster procesors, etc)? I can think of plenty of uses for that that would also coincide with the medical field, although ~400mhz can certainly handle plenty of things as needed.

although I get your sarcasm, it's still a troll.
you're so full of shit, way to microsoft troll. google encourages people to freely use alternatives.
Meanwhile, if you actually paid attention, this article isn't about google at all. nice job.
even -1 would be too high a rating.

technology is only going to advance further. I wouldn't doubt that interstellar travel will become feasible, it's just a question of when and how.
lets be honest that you misquoted? He said don't do shit online if you want it to be private.

Me? I don't care. Adblock + noscript + greasemonkey + sync + enterprise office = I'm usin firefox.

maybe it's because allowing someone to browse the web from their tv isn't particularly innovative, even back in 1995?

this assumes amazon won't lock things to it's store.
bwahahaha dictionary owned. way to go ignoramus.
hahaha either a purposeful troll or you're dumber than a rock.
I vote the latter.
honestly dude socialism is about helping society get better. Socialism is things like social security, public roads, public radio.
Fascism is things like censorship, subverting the rights of citizens, what we're dealing with here.
Please go back to the political party talking points hole you came from.

This is where you're both wrong.
It's not about where you're schooled, it's about what you do with it. You don't have to go to ivy league or a public school or get schooling at all if you figure out a way to be successful.
toot your own horn much?
way to link your own article, which I will avoid now.
hmm.
Inquiring about the same, would it make any difference if it was an ARM chip?
okay true, the expression is outdated and has been proven. I'm glad people at least got he point of what I was saying though.
This is the part I always wondered about. why haven't they at least tried to have new military spec radiation hardened chips created (faster procesors, etc)?

this is the correct answer.
