Software implementation of new instruction sets was always trailing years. Simply because you would have to re-write already working and tested code. For what benefit? What if performance was OK with old instruction set? I suspect making a CPU with arch. equivalent to Pentium I and runs at 1000MHz is fairly easy if there is no licensing cost and spec is open. And is more that good enough to drive Windows XP - which is still current.
Why not? It is not mission critical (beside that phone must work all the time) so that it needs real-time behavior. It is their choice to have one app and responsive UI vs. real multi-tasking, as in android, where OS can unload RAM from apps.
It is not entirely true. Consider this : fake antivirus is good business. They make good money (millions) by scaring people away that they have viruses. Similar thing WGA/OGA does. Not everybody is proficient user. Some people who had pireated copies didn't even know they had them: system builder/eller put them. For example they can get afraid that pirated copy is not as good as original, and that they better buy original.
.. and to eat it at same time. It does not mind all governments to be near broke, as long as they have the money. Well it does not work that way, as it seems that all countries that give them safe tax haven will either fail or be unstable to do business in long term.
Corporations should not be above people and government - as we can see they can abuse both to get what they want ($). It is okay to make money, don't get me wrong, but it appears in this process there's only one winner - Big Co, and Joe Smith ends up with the (tax) bill.
How come we have situations where companies make insane amount of money and governments that allow them to be in market are near broke? Well answer is obvious - they abuse system, or lack of it.
So if google wants to help - well it can pay their debt bill. Because they are partially responsible for it.
Suppose we have one year to solve US problems that got us all worried (I have mentioned some of them), and some others no-so-critical.
How can finite number of personel and resources solve them all? Do we pick which ones we'll go after first? Or do we try to fix everything and fail to complete any of them?
It seems to me that we want fixed, right now. Let's be more realistic. If we keep this trend, it won't matter whether they make naked pictures of us, we won't afford to go anywhere.
Which are debt, falling behind in everything behind China. We can't solve everything. This is example how we wate time bi***ing about everything and anything, and do nothing to make things better.
... and release lite & (somewhat) safe release of Acrobat Reader for home users that just reads plain PDF files that have 0 extra "features". and 99% of world would happily use it.
It does not affect every application that uses DLL. It affects only ones that load DLLs dynamically after application is running, using LoadLibrary call. This is different than having a DLL as requisite to load the executable.
Here's what Microsoft recommends: "Wherever possible, specify a fully qualified path when using the LoadLibrary, LoadLibraryEx, CreateProcess, or ShellExecute functions. " "Consider removing the current directory from the DLL search path by calling"
In other words, they want programmers to use LoadLibrary("C:\program Files\my software\somedll.dll") instead of LoadLibrary("somedll.dll"). This is very counter-intuitive, as if you were app developer, you would want all of your DLLs be distributed with binary, and reside in same directory. Take a look in your program files directory, and almost every app does it that way...
Unless they cut power to all XBOX owners, I don't see how you can stop known leak on internet in 2010. Better spend money and resources elsewhere. Release it few weeks earlier?

WTF is a current version of Windows? 3, 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP??
Versions that are still supported actively, which are Windows XP SP3 and newer.
it will also streamline theft operations as thieves now need to steal only one card.

Try running flash videos at 720P or 1080P. That's where AMD and nvidia hardware acceleration shine in.

is to be free of users! Release 6.0 goes greatly toward that direction. ;)

Per this logic, Paris Hilton is smarter than Nikola Tesla. Or that she would produce smarter offspring.

If Apple is so good, why they use that 'bloated Office' by Microsoft?

iLand is well priced as other 'i' products!
