IE does not need to be installed (and can be removed). Trident does need to be installed and cannot be removed. And if you complain about that, remember that OS X won't work without WebKit, and KDE won't work without KHTML.
And what did you do, tech support? Yes, I'm sure you are fully aware of the contractual arrangements between Microsoft and your company's executives, and how much money moved in which direction.
More likely is that Microsoft just reminded your company that if they use more Windows, they'll only end up paying like $0.30 a month each license.
Because Chrome (and Firefox with pre-fetching enabled) will pre-download the top x results - 10 I think. The search engine used is irrelevant, the browser is the issue at hand.
You only think it would be like that because you've been brainwashed by your corporations. Those of us who live in countries where the doctors and hospitals are government owned and operated know for a fact that your statement is patently absurd. Our doctors and hospitals do strive to do their best, despite the sole financial motive being "not making a loss".
Won't happen. Contrary to popular belief, the MPAA and RIAA are generally neutral (and not entirely evil) in most of these cases. This is because... hey, put down that pitch fork!... the law suits and actions are done by the member firms (Sony, Universal, NBC, Warner, etc) but to avoid negative PR are reported as "Recording Industry Association" or "Motion Picture Association". The RIAA and MPAA are essentially figureheads. FACT is merely another arm of the same figurehead cartel designed to prevent the negative PR associated with suing their customers. (You know, I'd bet if that fact became more well known we'd probably see less point and shoot lawsuits, if they couldn't avoid the fallout).
Web hosts didn't stop using WHMCS when it was discovered that you could submit a ticket which WHMCS would execute as PHP, allowing entire databases to be stolen (no social engineering involved) - this sure isn't going to stop them.
Convincing Netflix that we in the nether regions of the world inhabit the United States is non-trivial. Getting past that whole "Hah! That credit card is not from an American bank!" step of signup is a bit of a bitch to circumvent.
You'd best hope they don't. Sky TV in NZ (owned by the same people as Foxtel - another fucking News Corp vampire) did this, and 90% of the content on the site requires yet more payment - and they used it as justification to increase the base package price again.
In NZ with Sky (a Foxtel sister company) it's an extra $10/month for ONE channel that contains Game of Thrones. They still don't even carry any other remotely decent Sci-Fi content.
In most non-US countries, yes. I have to convince Netflix I am in the United States for them to even take my money - and that includes getting a credit card that they believe was issued by a US bank. Ditto for Hulu, and pretty much every other provider. We've only recently even got streaming radio services, and that's despite the fact that Spotify still hasn't even gotten off their collective asses and launched here. iTunes still won't even sell TV shows.
If you are a Netflix subscriber in the US, it costs you nothing extra.
Or a sorcerer with the capability to convince Netflix you are in the US. I oppose piracy, but fuck territorial restrictions. Thankfully our laws refuse to recognise them as a valid use of technological protection measures and still permit breaking them if that's all they're for.
So it's not possible that there are reviewers that actually like the phone? It's just Microsoft astroturfing? Yeah, right. God you people are so narcissistic.
No you didn't, because Apple forbids web browsers on the iPhone/iPad that don't use UIWebView. You would have found a browser that preprocesses the page on a server before sending it to the client which uses UIWebView to render it.
The user space is more strictly enforced than a Windows machine. Looking historically Linux came from a server platform with strictly enforced security and move to a desktop/more user friendly distribution, and Windows started as a single user OS and goes to a more multi user platform.
Who cares? Malware these days doesn't need ring-0 access. It doesn't need kernel access. All it needs is the ability to watch keystrokes in userland, and to open outbound connections on port 25 (and maybe 80). Whether the user space is "more strictly enforced" is irrelevant.

Dude, the N64 version of StarCraft was fucking awful - and I've played it. Controls and horrible and hard to use, the interface was terrible, and the game was laggy as shit.
And health orbs? Really? You're claiming that that's from Marvel Ultimate Alliance when games from the bloody 80's had that (on PC no less, not console)?Sounds like the lazy elitist might be you.

Good luck with that. Pirated versions can't connect to Battle.net, which runs the game world. So your pirated version won't actually run.
The always on requirement in D3 is achieved by running the entire game world on the Battle.Net servers, so no dice.

Pre Activision Buyout? But Activision never bought Blizzard... oh, you're referring to when Vivendi bought Activision, and made it and Blizzard subsidiaries of Activision Blizzard, formerly known as Vivendi Games. Mike Morhaime is still in charge at Blizzard, and Kotick still has to answer to the shareholders anyway (the same shareholders that were apparently told that Activision and Blizzard would retain autonomy).

That's OK, I'm using Chromium and I don't even get a doodle on their homepage.

Wait... there's a Falling Skies series 2?!?
Fuck you New Zealand. Fuck you. Can't get anything in a decent timeframe. (Is it on Hulu? Hmm...)
That's season two. Season one was bloody ages ago. In fact, we're only a week behind the US (for a bloody change).
