Let's see, this means that Samsung will get a boatload of tracking data about the customers, and also be able to insert ads into the content. It's a win-win for Samsung and a lose-lose for anyone crazy enough to buy one of these surveillance TVs.
...Free enterprise and capitalism is the ONLY system that has lifted millions out of poverty and misery, and continues to do so....
What we have in the United States is NOT pure Capitalism, it is a combination of Capitalism and Socialism. Pure Capitalism has no governmental regulation whatsoever. The system in the US does have government regulation to, among other things, prevent the Capitalists from abusing the workforce or making the environment uninhabitable. The government regulation is the Socialism aspect. Fortunately, here in the US we have kept the Socialism part in check, going mainly with the Capitalism aspect.

So, yes, the part of your comment I quoted is correct if you also include the part that Socialism has played in keeping Capitalism under control.
... everything else, including the workers of a company, is little more than a means to that end. You can parse the words of press releases all you want, but, in the end, Capitalism is all about maximizing profit of the owners at the expense of everything and everyone else.
...We already know IE isn't just an application, but has set of.dll files that other applications and drivers use,...
Yes, I quite remember why Microsoft sprinkled parts of IE throughout Windows in order to try to get around the anti-trust proceedings against it. That's just a part of the poor Windows architecture.
...As if "rebooting" or not is indicative of anything....
It is indicative of an architecture that does not seem to be able to update an app without bringing down the computer. Perhaps it is the Windows architecture that is lame.;)
When I patch IE, a reboot is required. Trying to say that I do not have to reboot because I patched IE is typical Microsoft cheerleader response. IE was patched and a reboot was required. Please do not tell me what I saw with my own eyes did not happen. I have also updated other apps which required a reboot. Only on Windows. On FreeBSD, I update apps all the time and all I have to do is restart the app. No reboot is required.
.
So I ask again, what is wrong with the Windows architecture that requires reboots for app updates? If an app hooks that deply into the OS that an update requires a reboot, isn't that a potential security problem?
Why does installing a patch to an application require a reboot? Why does installing a patch to an application render the OS unable to boot? Is the Windows architecture as as bad as it appears to be?

Not really. I've critiqued facebook for years. It is just recently that the rest of the world seems to have realized what facebook is about.

...Mark made some mistakes, but he is a good guy at heart...
He made fundamental mistakes of deception and dishonesty. A "good guy at heart" does not do that. Therefore, your premise is invalid.
To me, it looks like Zuckerberg built up Facebook upon a foundation of lying to people. Why should anyone believe anything he says now?

I'd rather the kernel be released and announced because it met the quality standards, and not because it was in time for Christmas.
Yes.
The best way to face technical situations is to retain your curiosity. It is not about memorizing textbooks, it is about staying curious.
(no pun intended) Will it be enough to even start to reverse the slime that has been emanating from facebook, inc of late?
When do I use one instead of the other?
Yup, that's the ticket, a bug. Funny how the bug just happened to affect the performance of a competitor's browser.
