GP was making assumptions about how "smart" Android buyers are. Most of them aren't nerds. Most of them are ordinary people buying the non-fruit-flavored smartphone platform that doesn't cost an enormous amount.
The Streak7 is an awful device. It was laggy and had a painfully low-resolution display (800x480 on a 7".) Trying to continue selling the Streak 5 (woefully obsolete, strange form factor, never found a niche) and the Streak 7 (overall crappy device) at this point would be stupid. Microsoft doesn't have anything to do with it.
As opposed to, say, Google paying a competitor to use its product? That's exactly what gets done with Firefox right now. Search engines get money from the little search bar.
Of the three major parties, United Russia (while authoritarian and vaguely socialistic) is probably the most moderate. The Liberal Democrats are led by a leader who has said he wants to completely seal the borders, institute a police state, use nuclear weapons in the Caucasus, and reconquer Eastern Europe; the Communists are the kind of Communists that venerate Stalin and long for a return to the 1930's.
After all, the PRC would never invade any of its neighbors. Not Vietnam, not Korea, not India, not Russia, not Tibet. And they certainly wouldn't make constant menacing gestures against ROC-Taiwan or Japan...
The PRC is hated by every one of its neighbors except Pakistan and North Korea, which are pretty much rogue states.
iPhone OS applications are written in Objective-C and compiled directly to native code. It also has pointers and all the other trappings of a real language and execution environment.
And DG/UX, Reliant UNIX, Risc/os, SINIX, Unicos, Dynix, and about twenty other moderately successful moderate 90's UNIX systems. If you look closely, it's only showing systems that are either still alive or ancestors of systems that are still alive.
Top500 is basically irrelevant as a model of the server industry as a whole. UNIX is still kickin' on scale-up commercial servers and doing pretty well at it.
Having four cores is fine and good, but it's not like there are any mobile workloads that have any use for four cores. I don't see anyone trying to do Maya renders on their cell phones...
Yeah, I've never quite figured out why telecoms have standardized on 48VDC while everyone else completely ignores its existence. Most midrange servers (HP Integrity and Nonstop, iirc most smaller SPARC Enterprise boxes, some commodity stuff) are available in 48VDC configurations, so it's not like there's a lack of hardware for it.
It's been happening all over Slashdot, not just on FBI-related articles. The Slashdot administrators need a more reliable server. You need a qualified mental health professional.
Thailand isn't particularly democratic. There are elections, and occasionally populist politicians win, but there's an entrenched, deeply conservative, power base that includes the King, the military, and some political parties. The fact that there's a coup or a threat of a coup whenever reform looks possible indicates they still have a lot of clout.

Find where I said there was a "problem."
People who buy Android are typically people upgrading from a feature phone to a cheap smartphone.

I'm trying to figure out if you're trolling, or if you're actually that ignorant.

Of the 5 Senators involved (one who introduced it, four who sponsored it) roughly half are Republicans.
Every build of Android since, as I recall, 1.5, has been ported to x86. It's part of Intel's (silly) strategy to put Atoms in cell phones and tablets.
All major processors except Itanium use microcode, including most ARM implementations. It's not an x86-specific thing.

Oh, certainly. My post was more a question of why everyone else has ignored 48VDC, not why telcos use it.

They're only legally required to release the kernel source.

Clearly, someone that's never tried to compile GNOME.
It's considerably less fun than that.
The King most definitely has power.

We're still the only nation that seems to reliably be able to send anything to Mars.
Desktops don't have ECC. This does. Two cores with hyperthreading and ECC, only drawing 15W, isn't such a bad idea for the lowest of low-end servers.
That would certainly explain the price of toner.
Yes... Itanium is a product that "nobody uses," which is why IA64 server sales are several billion dollars a year.
Apparently, people find the idea of one company paying another for a product to be shocking.
