Except reading the patch note, while Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Windows RT and Windows RT 8.1 are listed its to say they are not affected.
No this is a completely different situation. Microsoft is not being asked for their own company's data; they are being asked for someone else's data, which is hosted by a foreign company on foreign soil (though MS USA is the owner of MS Ireland). Also as they are asking for emails, they are not asking for the container, but for them to search and disseminate the contents of said container.
This would be more like a US court asking as US owner of a building in a foreign country which was rented by a foreign bank, to go in and open one of the bank's safe deposit boxes and search through it, find some items and ship them back to the US without the bank or the owner of the deposit box's permission.
I like the part where they are magically going to make OCR work via the camera on a cellphone.
Windows Phone already does that though, you hit the search button, choose eye, point it at something, choose scan text, it highlights all the text at which point you can either choose copy, search, or translate. If you translate it will overlay the translated text on the image in your chosen language.
Didn't Apple Computer, Inc only start making PCs in 2006? Before that they were making PowerPC based computers and prior to 1995 Motorola based computers. With the general definition of the PC market being something you can install Windows/DOS on or WinTel compatible; the IBM compatible bit being dropped some time ago.
Though Apple Computer, Inc ceased to exist in 2007 when it became Apple Inc.
And I bet you've never actually got a Microsoft engineer on the phone either.
As a small company you can get a Microsoft engineer on the phone in under 2 hours; their support is excellent.
I imagine a big bank would have an even better arrangement.
That's a trap. The mobo comes with integrated intel, yes. But in most cases the end user also has a discrete card. You can guess which one is actually used.
having the start button actually does help in one use case, having a windows rdp session. Ever try to remote manage a windows 2012 server via remote desktop without being full screen? It is f-ing hard trying to hit the start corner. I'm happy that they added the start button back even if it only launches the start screen instead of old style menu.
Click application icon top right of the window (the one that gives you drop down of move, restore, close etc)
Then choose Remote Commands, this gives you the options;
What happens to ALOT of old windows pc's? They get linux installed on them to give them a few more years of usefulness = a loss of revenue for microsoft.
The old windows pcs are already paid up with the windows software, where is the revenue that MS would be getting from them if they didn't have linux on?
The only MMORPGs that run in the browser that I know of are in Flash... (Dofus for example, 11 million players)
Unless you count any online game with a bit of a RPG side a MMORPG.
Umm... RuneScape? Java
"The game has approximately 10 million active accounts per month, over 156 million registered accounts, and is recognised by the Guinness World Records as the world's most popular free MMORPG" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RuneScape
Although you may be right, all that means is that in 5 to 10 years Web applications will reach the state of the art of current native applications. This furthermore assumes that the latter will remain static during that time.
So, yes, perhaps in 5 years you'll finally be able to play Angry Birds or WoW on your browser, but I would expect native applications by then to offer an even richer experience.
Maybe not quite as full on video and HD graphics; but lengthy games with depth? (e.g. Civ or Sims) then yes these are going into the browser... Except they are hugely more concurrent (rather than just a couple players in multi-player mode)... For example: http://www.illyriad.co.uk/
And with html5 even free civ is browser based: http://www.freeciv.net/
"The attack allows someone to decrypt sniffed cookies, which could contain valuable data such as bank balances, Social Security numbers or crypto keys. "
So if we could convert mass to energy 44 tonnes(or tons not sure) of mass should give you the energy.
You'd probably want to use it in spaceship to spaceship combat as I imagine a solid tungsten telegraph pole traveling at the speed of light would be mildly unfortunate for an entire planet...
If its reading a standard header of a standard format (e.g. iso) I assume there aren't that many variations - without starting to write weird unnecessary code

What's new from a developer perspective; different than a system/admin or user perspective though https://dev.windows.com/en-us/...

So its a patch for the server products.

That would be a terrible thing; strong independent competition is a good thing; the browser scape would be far worse for it.
Is confirmed for and demonstrated on iOS 8
Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 - just not Windows 8

Depends if its WebGL in a browser nvidia locks you to intel: Option to select the preferred graphics processor is greyed out for IE, Chrome, and Firefox. and https://www.scirra.com/blog/ashley/7/nvidia-hobbles-webgl-performance-on-laptops

Bottom one is what you want.
It's saber rattling: "You want to double dip on charges, and build a two tier internet"?
"We'll wire everyone up faster and also decide the tiers"
"Really want to go there?"

dZ.
You can already play Angry Birds in your browser, its one of the games on Google+ and you can play it from the Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aknpkdffaafgjchaibgeefbgmgeghloj
And here's some early try outs of Rage levels in WebGL in a browser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0S2dsuSxHw
A local app will always be faster than anything running in the browser.
Go ahead, do something along the lines of RAGE in a browser.
Early days, but something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0S2dsuSxHw - iOS RAGE rendered with WebGL
Maybe not quite as full on video and HD graphics; but lengthy games with depth? (e.g. Civ or Sims) then yes these are going into the browser...

And, Flash is standard.
Apple would disagree - especially for the iPad and iPhone

I always thought radio frequency was light...
The beam collisions have opened a portal into the future...
if
m = (e / c^2)
then
4e21 / (c * c) = 44 506kg
So if we could convert mass to energy 44 tonnes(or tons not sure) of mass should give you the energy.
You'd probably want to use it in spaceship to spaceship combat as I imagine a solid tungsten telegraph pole traveling at the speed of light would be mildly unfortunate for an entire planet...
