I never said that ARM would run x86 software, which is what your links dispute. I merely said that ARM would support the traditional desktop UI, as has been demo'd and stated by Microsoft repeatedly.
"Additionally, the Law states that the owners and administrators of Internet cafés or other places that offer access to the Internet might be found guilty of violating this Law and fined and their businesses might be closed if users of Internet services provided by these places are found visiting websites located outside of Belarus and if such behavior of the clients was not properly identified, recorded, and reported to the authorities. The Law states that this provision may apply to private individuals if they allow other persons to use their home computers for browsing the Internet."
The US hasn't admitted to it, and there's some evidence that points to an Israeli origin. Why jump to conclusions when there's no need to for this article?
Neither webOS or Android is just "a skin" on Linux. Android uses a Linux kernel, but the rest of the stack is almost entirely custom and completely unrelated to anything most people would recognize as "Linux." webOS is closer, but still involves extensive custom engineering, especially for the graphics/video components.
In other words, democracy sucks because it's too tough to deal with people who disagree with you, and they should be kicked into their own country. Got it.
How is Itanium not RISC? It's fixed-length and load-store, which is the conventional definition of "RISC." There's no real difference between VLIW-as-implemented-by-IA64 and a conventional superscalar in-order RISC with parallelism hints, and this is coming from someone who's been doing Itanium assembly language for a few years. Vista and Windows 7 continue supporting IA64 in their server versions.
Performance is, however, strongly affected by clock speed. Cortex-A8 isn't too far off microarchitecturally from the Pentium (two-issue, in-order), so they're probably not too far off in performance-per-cycle. Current-gen A9 cores are (I would say) around a fast Pentium II or a low-clocked Pentium III.
You can run software you want on iPhone OS. Does the name Cydia ring any bells?
There have been plenty of locked-down, market-only Android devices too, by the way. Motorola Backflip and other early AT&T Android devices are proud members of that club.
Slashdot Mirror
What other open-source, open-development mobile OS is there? Android is just regular code dumps from Google and Tizen barely exists...
But with the added perk of increased cache footprint.
Bada isn't based on Linux, despite what Wikipedia says. It uses the Mentor Nucleus microkernel with a custom Samsung userland.
Also, it's been officially announced that Bada is being replaced with Tizen.
You mean loading up my codebase with #ifdefs to get around bullshit like endianness and integer length? "C/C++ is portable" is a myth.

When have they said that ARM devices will be Microsoft Store-only?
This has been debunked over, and over, and over again.

That happened in 1999, and the clock didn't move.
It's to provide a new OS for OEM's. Samsung is pushing it, and the screenshots refer to a Samsung device (I9500).
You call the 1973 war "Israel attacking its enemies?" Lay off the crazy juice.
Myanmar has partially democratized since then, and is pursuing stronger relations with the United States.
That bill was referred to committee and seems to have died there. Even in Congress, they know that Lieberman is a loon.
Too bad AMD still can't deliver on real-life processor performance. Bulldozer was nothing short of an embarrassment.
webOS had a C++ API (the PDK) too.
OpenOffice/LibreOffice is written in C++, although a few non-core components are in Java.

Other OS's are more secure than Linux, UNIX, and OS X, too. Just remember that while you're being smug.

Every Windows release from the NT line since NT 3.1 has run on at least one RISC architecture.
It's a SoC. No external chipset necessary.
