Facebook’s intent is really obvious – they are trying to replace “raw” Internet with the Facebook layer, and people would do all interactions: social, searches, shopping through their layer. This would render other companies like Google, Yelp, you name it obsolete. The problem however is in the details: how can anyone trust Facebook with their private data, searches etc. considering all the privacy issues, lack of user’s control over their data, etc.? Once you’re in the Matrix, you cannot unplug. That’s what Facebook is trying to bring to the users.
It's not Google who took and processed pictures (because there is no any ambient light in data centers as you can imagine), it's photographers who were invited to the facility and who ultimately decided to make racks look prettier by being strictly symmetrical.
Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 share the same kernel components (they call it Shared Windows Core). That really is internal part of the OS usually inaccessible directly to 3rd party developers, who instead use various user-mode APIs built on top (such as Win32, WinRT etc). The same is curiously with Android and ChromeOS - both share the Linux kernel with different user-mode APIs.
Interesting, why don't they also require Microsoft to reverse its recent privacy policy change which is essentially the same (unification of the company's services).

Can it detect middle finger though? I show it to Kinect all the time, and it seems to be ignoring it.
Microsoft marketing is the worst you can find, Bing as a product name is not exception.
Another DOA.

Linux is actually a kernel. The OS is called GNU Linux with various flavors called distributives (such as Ubuntu).
