Just analyzing profit is a myopic short term strategy. If you are losing market share and not correcting the problem you will be in for big surprise when the revenue curve drops suddenly and steeply.
You are increasing prices as your customer base drops. Eventually enough customers will catch on and leave. When the last of your customers can't afford your price increase they will be forced to leave and you will have none.
Yes I read the article. The hard part is defining what is important. The authors felt the likelihood of something happening should be given more weight when determining importance. Not everyone is going to agree if you have a group of people deciding which things should get fixed first.
This is what happens when companies do stuff outside of their core competencies. They tend to do things half-assed (knowingly or unknowingly). There are better devices out there that are specifically built to do what "smart" TVs are poorly attempting.
Why I left after my two year contact ended. I signed up 3 years ago and bought the original EVO 4G (WiMax) on a plan that allowed you to upgrade your phone every year. 11 months into my contract they take away the ability the yearly phone upgrade eligibility. Failure to deliver #1. A few months later it becomes more than clear they are abandoning WiMax. Failure to deliver #2. During my contract period the tower(s) in the area where I work were consistently going offline. This would kill your phone battery while it searched and searched for signal After many support calls and talking with the Sprint rep at my work we hope something would eventually be done. Promised tower upgrades were "in progress" etc etc. It never got better. Failure #3.
I switched back to AT&T (Samsung GS3) and on our family plan a year ago. Better service, faster speeds, and cheaper. I here good things about Verizon in my area and may try them some day.
Trojans will probably keylog and steal cookies if it is worth it. Get rid of the cookie issue and that is one less thing to worry about.
It is an issue. Just because you have accept this bad security design doesn't make it acceptable to everyone. I too notice which sites do and don't log me out of all tabs I have open in a browser. I like the ones that log me out just like I expect.
This isn't an "attack" on MS alone. The OP header says "Office 365, Amazon, Others"
*Supposedly* they don't have plans to refresh it with the Haswell this year. Hopefully Dell will get some decent feedback and update it with the Haswell, a video out for a second monitor, and whatever else the AVERAGE home user needs.
It has a touch screen with an OS designed for a touchscreen, a decent weight, decent display quality, decent performance.... not a great price. Theoretically price will come down if it catches on.
Please link to "similar crap" if I have missed something.
Yeah I didn't mean it was heavy. Hopefully they get touchscreen weights to very competitive levels and we'll see things like a 15" or 17" Transformer. AIOs like the XPS 18 sub 4 LB with some of the features it is currently missing (HDMI out, eSATA, etc)
I'm going to try one out. The home computer form factor is going to change. I have tried the Asus Transformer and like it. The removable keyboard works great but to be a primary home computer it needs to have a larger display and larger keyboard. I was hoping Asus they would release something in the 15-17 inch range in the Transformer series but I don't think that has happened yet. The Dell XPS18 is a bit larger than I was thinking but it is getting decent reviews so I'll give it a shot... it will be my first shot at Win8 too (sigh). Sure it isn't a lightweight but its no Sony Tap 20 @ 11 Lbs.
PAH-LEEZE... doing the flat look is more like changing the skin, not a total redesign.
As for any features add, changed, or modified... well that is anyone's guess until Apple says so. Anything else is speculation and a blatant attempt to boost advertising revenue by driving clicks/impressions.

As long as we can too.
You are correct.

Important items get fixed first. Easy items usually come next. Everything else gets fixed after that.

As usual, you get what you pay for.
IMHO Starbucks coffee tastes burnt and most of my friends agree. I call it Charbucks.

So long Sprint. I wish we never met.
Given man's track record to royally fsck stuff up before truly understanding the big picture I think we should be adapting before modifying.

True but Disney also has a high "tax" rate it collects from it's citizens ... err customers.
Well at least you made me laugh.

Is it safe to assume that is it universally acceptable to use three random English words?
Exactly. The key is actually _SETECASTRONOMY.
That is awesome but MythTV isn't something I could give to my parents (or grand parents)
I swore off X10 simply because of their pop up ad assault many years ago.

Thank you sir
No but you can heat up your lap with a tablet.

1. Managed switches
2. VPN
3. Firewall
I would choose 2 and/or 3 tied to a request/approval process that requires authorization, justification, and duration.

That's silly. If batteries become a commodity like fuel then that whole $30k mindset will be BS
