Actually seeing how many things they got it right might not be a correct idea. Most(not all ofcourse) of thier gloomy predictions are taken seriosuly and worked upon, so that they do not occur. And if they do not come true then it does not mean that the original prediction was false. For example, suppose in 1995 they said terrorist would attack US in 10 years. If we would have had reacted to that report, we would not have had 9/11. But now if you would have read that report, it would turn out to be false (since we prevented 9/11).
And more imporantly, this will drive Microsoft to 'innovate'. Microsoft have been monopoly for too long, competition is always healthy. I bet this will force them to respond. And since apple is a complete ly different beast, they can't abuse thier power on them. All they can do is work on thier product now. Ha!
The irony is that a web site dedicated toward serving a p2p protocol expressly designed to rememdy the slashdot effect gets slashdotted.
ahh another misuse of the word irony...sweet.
I moved here when I was 15, now im 24 and an American Citizen. However, I still have an accent, its not thick, but its still there. Because of this lots of people just assume that I'm from India and Indian, even though I feel I'm more of an American now. Trust me, I wish I didn't have the accent, not because I hate being indian or anything of that sort. The problem is that people just assume that I'm Indian and not American. I can't talk politics openly with people at work because they 'assume' that I should not have any negative feelings towards America. (I got this indirectly once from my coworker: "If you don't like so much about america, why don't you go back?"). Don't get me wrong, I love this country but obviously I don't like everything about its politics (like the current administration) And my Indian friends always think that I'm a traitor whenever I criticize Indian politics. I guess I'm a cousin of ABCD, the IBCA.:)
ABCD stands for American Born confused Desi (desi means indian)
IBCA stands for Indian Born confused American.
I highly doubt that Bill gates is as hated as the president in the world. Besides from the CS community, I really don't think many other ppl hate him. Infact I know quite a few ppl here in US and around the globe who really 'admire' him. On the other hand Bush, well we already know that..
Ok, I'm no supporter of osama or anybody and I agree that there is a difference between founding father and terrorists. But even bin laden wants freedom of its own country (Saudi arabia) and Palestine. His means are wrong ofcourse. But he did attack for freedom of its people.
nd they've been doing so for years.
Why would anyone with a right-mind think
that google could do any better in the short term?
umm..have you used gmail? compare that to hotmail, yahoo...its lot better, google did it better in short time in email space..why can't they do it in browswer? I'm not saying they will do it..but just b/c ppl have been doing b4 doesnt mean someone else can't do it better faster..
You really think its only 10,000? trust me, its atleast (and I really mean atleast) 25,000..and and counting (and its true for both americans and iraqis).

Actual numbers = Government figures * 1.75 (even this is a conservative estimate in my opinion).

WEll, the alert could have been "KEn breaks another record, watch tonight for the another exciting record"..while misleading, but technically right..

you'd group Peter Jackson with Alfred Hitchcock.
Umm..i think a better comparison would be M.Night shyamalam with Alferd Hitchcock.
