In the case of Live the first result was a photo studio run by Galen and Barbara Powell. For Google the first result was much more relevant: a link to the University of Virgina Health System which talked about the medical practice from the past of which Galen is listed in the links.
More relevant for whom? For someone who put in Galen in the search box to search for the studio run by Galen, MS is far more relevant than google.
If you want to absorb what you're being told in lectures, pen and paper, or better, pre-printed lecture notes and annotating them helps you stay focused on the lecturer.
Maybe that's because you have grown up attending lectures with pen & paper.
I don't see why for someone who has been attending lectures with laptops right from primary school, & who doesn't browse or do other things during the lecture, a laptop isn't as less distracting as pen & paper.
My thoughts exactly, I have an iRiver T30 that supports PlaysForSure MTP, and now I can't use it with my Linux laptop, and am forced instead to download songs to it using the family Windows computer.
Ok - that's going to inconvinience the Linux users for sure. Maybe Samsung made a marketing choice to target the remaining 95% of all potential users.
After drinking Steve Jobs' koolaid, people would voluntarity go & get themselves arrested, if Jobs asked them to. And would even pay daily board & food charges at the jail.

British builders, though, seems to be in a league of their own, and that is not a compliment. I've never ever had to deal with such a bunch of incompetent twits.
Reminds me of O' Reilly in "The Builders" episode of Fawlty Towers"
O' Reilly: Now Mr Fawlty, if the Good Lord- Basil: Is mentioned once more I shall move you closer to him!
If Microsoft is not prepared to support their products on competitor's operating systems, they should not be allowed to develop closed formats, APIs or interfaces.
What about the iTunes stuff for Linux - when is Apple going to support that?
I think one of the things that really helped spur on DVD adoption over VHS wasn't the prettier pictures and better sound, it was the fact that you can do much more with a DVD than you ever could with a cassette. You can skip to whatever scene you want, you can access extras,
Why can't you have extras on VHS?
you can change the audio track to your language of choice(if it was on the dvd of course!),
What %age of people do this?
you can add subtitles, you can get rid of subtitles,
This is also available on VHS as "closed captioning".
you can hear commentary, you don't have to play with tracking etc.

Dude.... you're getting an Alien!
I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.
To really know Muslims, you have to travel to Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, Central Asia, Africa and Turkey as well as Arabia.
India, where Muslims are a minority (less than 10%, IIRC) has more muslims than most arab
countries, Pakistan etc.
There's at least one MAJOR difference Origami is running some Windows version and Nokia 770 is running (Debian based) Maemo! Open source
Yup.
In other words, the average chap wouldn't have to learn a new UI with Origami.
Also more existing software would work on it.

Are you using a search engine for the first time?
In other news, our Govt representatives have successfully manipulated 10000 of

It's them parasites that made you do it in the first place.
Get some decent integrated graphics systems
Can anyone explain how a layman can determine whether
his PC has this or not?
Maybe Apple is coming out with the iHearingAid next &
this is part of their business plan.
But I suspect this won't change the MS perspective on software patents.
What do you think is MS's perspective on software patents?

iTunes is such a success because of its ease of use and non-obtrusive DRM
Can you list how the other players have obstructive DRM?
I will need a pickup truck to take this along on my next vacation.
Really old news & was reported on slashdot 3 years back.
I think it was already duped a year also.
What is Bose's product which competes with the IPod?
If I recall correctly, wasn't Hotmail originally run on UNIX boxes?
Yes, it was run on a combination of BSD & Solaris boxes, IIRC.
If Microsoft is not prepared to support their products on competitor's operating systems, they should not be allowed to develop closed formats, APIs or interfaces.
What about the iTunes stuff for Linux - when is Apple going to support that?
Granted, the MiniStore pane is present by default, but it can be disabled as easily as is described above.
Shouldn't a non-evil company have Opt-In rather an
Opt-Out - spammers are the ones who are supposed
to prefer opt-out.
No one should benefit personally in a community driven environment.

Why did Google choose to include Norton?
Norton probably paid Google shitload of money to be included in the
pack.
