that their wealth has warped their minds, being rich does not always mean they are wise, a fool and his money, if i was rich i would do some philanthropy too but i would not come up with such pie in the sky crazy ideas, i would work with real world problems with real world solutions, maybe donate a few billion to provide medical treatment to poor children that could otherwise not afford it, have some cargo planes airdrop food in emergency situations where people are starving, thats that actually benefit real people in the real world right now, not some impossible pie in the sky research ideas that will never come to fruition
i bet the percentage of Linux users is far higher than 1%, probably closer to 33%, that would mean Lenovo could lose out on hundreds of millions of dollars in sales, Lenovo is shooting themselves in the foot, and microsoft is just being their usual evil self like always, up to their same old tricks, play nice and keep a low profile for a while and then BAM! turn on the asshole mode and show the world what pricks they are
the governments around the world (including the US Govt) they dont like the peasants & peons having so much access to free speech and unauthorized news and media that the powers that be Can Not control,
i am not about to let those shitty apps turn my phone in to a handheld billboard full of advertising, fuck them, this phone belongs to me and not some advertising sponsors
the governments around the world (including the US Govt) they dont like the peasants & peons having so much access to free speech and unauthorized news and media that the powers that be control, so the big TV Networks, MPAA & RIAA and other old school mass media dont like the internet because it gives the peasants too much freedom, they can not corral the peasants in to their monopolized narrative of news and information and revenue generating movies & music, the freedom of the internet has become a thorn in their side
to go jump in a lake and hich a ride on a slow boat to china, i would NOT fork over that kind of money to ANYBODY, one reason is i dont have it and if i did it would not be going to a god damned phone company
"A God who could make good children as easily a bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave is angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell, mouths mercy, and invented hell, mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused soul to worship him!" --Mark Twain
i have a garage full of tools i inherited from my dad when he passed away, some tools that date back to the 1940's mostly wrenches, and some old picks & shovels and one pickaxe
it will more than likely fry the motherboard chipset and kills the running system before it gets to the harddrive which could be pulled out and be used again
since HTML-v5 has been playing videos at most websites so nicely, i see no point in keeping the flash plugin around, the only people that use it nowadays are god damn advertisers spamming monkeys in adbars trying to distract you from more important things of interest, to hell with adobe i have no interest in any of their products
weigh the same model walkman without the gold plating, then weigh the one with the gold plating, and check the difference, are you getting at least that much in value in gold for the added extra cost? No? i would not buy it either, its just for rich fanboys that dont mind blowing money on expensive flashy gadgets
Linux developers will have it cracked and running any distro within a few days, AMD & Intel is not going to shoot themselves in the foot, microsoft might commit corporate suicide
a multi-national corporation has been cheating the system for decades, they should pay taxes on all income earned in the nation they do business with, by claiming their base of operations is in such&such a nation just because it is a tax haven should be illegal, change the law so they have to pay taxes on ALL income earned in the nation they made that income in and then they can not cheat the system by playing this game of multi-national tax haven base of operations, and then governments wont lean so heavily on working class's income tax so much
does it run Linux? i know one will run android, but android is a little too googly for me sometimes, i would like to slap a Linux distro on it, and i would only buy it if it is testing Linux compatible, i would hate to be in the middle of an install and find the keyboard does not work in Linux, and then be stuck with a nice looking brick that is no more useful than a door stop,
how about all the other instant messaging, or IRC, or what about internet forums, email, messages can be passed & forth a multitude of ways, laying the blame all on Twitter is a load of horse shit to me, i hope the Twitter lawyers wins this, and the plaintiffs are blacklisted from any litigation ever again
what if search engines just dropped all your data and info completely and then you just disappeared off the internet completely??? then the cost of advertising your products and services would quadruple
then soon every greedy capitalist in the software industry would be scalping code and using it in their products and selling it for top dollar and without releasing the source code, people like microsoft, apple, google, oracle, etc... they would all be raping your code for profits if the threat of litigation did not hang over their heads
i think the federal government is experimenting on the public, they are trying to see just how awful and corrupt a politician can be before people quit voting at elections, Both Clinton and Trump are terrible and i wont bother to vote because they are just too awful
most of those people just want to socially interact with their friends and fake friends, and they realize political spin to the left is just as insane and unrealistic as political spin to the right, fucking mass media needs to quit trying to spin it and simply tell the unbiased truth for a change and they might regain some credibility (which they lost over 20 years ago)

RE: "Would you work for such a company, that "rapes" your peers?"
ask that question to a few Microsoft employees
