Not to take away from your humorous reply, but clay, wax, slate tablets had more pronounced rounded corners than the iPad. I assume Apple truly held back their own innovating.
If you hadn't noticed, every synthetic benchmark released from a browser vendor favoured their engine, at time of release. At least Google had balls to call it v8bench. While I believe all benchmarks (and non-comprehensive ACID tests) to be 3dmark-style pissing contests where they encourage developers to fast-path specific used functions, I have more confidence in Mozilla producing another (Dromaeo also tried to have a more realistic workflow).
I got a review piece of hardware from InfoSec and tried it out in Linux. You can mount it once the key has been set-up, but you can't set it up under Linux with the software provided. So this key *requires* Windows before it can be used under Linux, which is pretty bloody stupid.
Since I don't have any copies of that software, it pretty much doubles the cost of the drive.
It's such an easily implementable and open spec... that Microsoft has to give them a hand to implement it? Hmm, which recently ISO fast-tracked specification does *that* remind me of.
I can't wait for this better-than-Silverlight version, maybe we can cause compatibility hell on Microsoft for once, sounds ideal for a single-spec, multiple-implementation web we weave.
Sounds more like you're finding faults for no reason. It's a very good idea. It's being used already. Thus a good idea hasn't failed miserably.
"let's see here $1.00 to process the image remotely because no cell phone can" Wrong: http://reader.kaywa.com/ is a free downloadable Java reader for your mobile. There are others, too.
"$1.00 data charge for access the website to buy tickets from" What sucky websites do you visit ?
"$5.00 random extra charge because your using cingular's/Verizon's/sprints special web buy service" Use a better provider; the plan attached to my mobile gives me free net access.
"another $1.00 worth of data rate charges because you entered your credit card wrong." We can't help that you're a numpty.:)
One such use of semacodes is http://www.semapedia.org/ , whereby people can print links to Wikipedia articles.
eg: If you're a tourist in a foreign country, wouldn't it be nice to be able to access a full page of information about something that's potentially translated into your language?
"meets the European Union definitions of an Open Standard, meaning the specification is freely available and implementable."
A sentence I've reverted a few times for being factually incorrect, but it seems people want to stick with that view. If you'd care to visit the Open Standard page on Wikipedia, and check the rules for the EU you'll find it fails to meet two of the points. ECMA isn't an NPO allowing for fully open decision making on standards, and the so-called patents within Office OpenXML and parts aren't "irrevocably" available.
Why else would Microsoft enter into an agreement with Novell wrt interoper. ? Low and behold: Novell announced plans for Office OpenXML support in Open Office.
With a Firefox extension called Googlepedia, I "Google" happily, and it'll include (if found) a relevant Wikipedia page to the side of the search results.

Is geonames.org of comparable quality for you?
It is no longer CC-BY-SA, but rather ODbL. See http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License

In Windows 7.
For users outside of that 20% of 90%, Firefox will support Ogg and WebM.

NoScript blocks more than just scripts, it will block data: URLs, iframes, etc.
I think you'll find the eyes are data: URLS.
If it's a contraction you want, it'd be Lego's, right?
That was NASA you insensitive clod!
Just came here to say exactly the same thing! Damn you.
Ditesh has been doing a good job with that...
"ODF actually got to skip the one month contradictory period that was required of OOXML"
It didn't skip the period because it was not needed as there were no contradictions. It's all part of the process and perfectly legit.

Even more bollocks, do you really think all the proles in the countryside support fox hunting?
Are you still living in 1978 ?
"NEVER works" is a little over the top. Just fetch Gnash and you'll be able to watch episodes of Bottom on Youtube like the rest* of us.
Lets just hope Opera's & Firefox's use of Ogg (via <video>) will encourage the web to become more open and widely available...

What a shocker!
"new"?
When was the last time you saw Java being used for annoying adverts?
I can't imagine why you'd want to block it.
How about, it's being developed now?

I'm sure the readers here can cope with a bit of translation.
Hang on, I thought they used "nation" in TFA.
I do both at once!
