I would have the UI only select things on finger up instead of finger down, just like mouse-based UIs work. I would also have the candidates (and language options) displayed in randomly selected order on the ballot screen to mitigate any possible problems due to order or positioning based on the previous screen.
Furthermore, Microsoft is of course the next version of Windows. But it will take about two years before “Windows 8 ‘on the market.
Yeah, this is hardly a concrete release date. It's probably one person's very rough estimate, he might not even be close to the project for all we know.
In the early 90s, Microsoft created the XP Corporate edition that does not need activation, to appease large customers who were worried about losing the ability to install their copies of XP.
Uhhhhhhhh XP was released in 2001..... I think you need to recheck your dates.
Well they were doing 0.1 and 0.2, but then they jumped to 1.0. I think the prevailing theory at the time was that computer manufacturers didn't want to ship "beta" software, so Google simply removed the beta logo and bumped the version number. Problem solved!:)
Does office365.com redirect there? Because office365.com is blocked at work (for not being indexed by whoever supplies our filters), but microsoft.com is not. If so, I thank you.
I can't speak for all games of course but Team Fortress 2, which wasn't TOO old at the time I tried it in Wine, ran pretty much perfectly. When did you last try Wine?
Given many Firefox extensions have traditionally worked with the internals of Firefox (though not recommended of course), this not only explains why many break with each new Firefox release, but why Opera can't do what you suggest. Opera would have to BECOME Firefox to get Firefox extensions.
On the other hand, Chrome has a fixed API for extensions, which you could theoretically implement in other apps easily enough (well, you need a JS engine first of course).
You'll be happy to know then that OO.o is pretty much about as exact a copy you can get of the Office 2003 interface... at least AFAI can tell, never used 2003 much.
I still get "spam" from AT&T in my SMS inbox. I don't have to pay for it but it's still spam. And why should I be paying for it anyway? Charging for OUTGOING messages always made more sense for phone calls and it makes more sense for texts too.
Chess can also be considered to have an infinite number of games where both players simply move a single piece back and forth forever. But it would seem pointless to track those.
Article reads like it was written by someone who has no idea about the time and effort taken to sandbox sites from each other. Sounds like he's talking about LocalStorage or client side DBs, which can hold more data but are no more privacy risks than a single unique ID stored in a cookie linked to an unlimited REMOTE database. Accessing web history is not a part of HTML5, more FUD there, and browser vendors are working to block JS from being able to access that information. They also seem to refer to geolocation, which in Chrome at least has to be explicitly granted to sites unless you turn it on globally.
The "supercookie" thing is perhaps the one legitimate thing mentioned but browsers should (or probably will if they don't already) clear out most of those locations (except Flash, but you can't blame the browsers for that really) when you clear your private data, which at least Firefox and Chrome can do for you.
As for "buckets to put tracking information into" why bother relying on "buckets" on the client which may or may not exist, are limited in size, may change or be emptied at any time, etc, when you can buy as many "buckets" as you want server-side and store virtually unlimited data about them?
If you're going to play a hardware-accelerated game, just flip it back to landscape. Most games can't handle portrait resolutions anyway. Otherwise the performance usually isn't needed unless you're watching HD videos or something (and again, you'd want landscape anyway).
There's a transparent div over the comment box that appears when you hit "Reply" at the bottom. It's a "slug", whatever that is. I think it's supposed to be an ad box or something because it's empty (thank you AdBlock).
I personally am more concerned about why paste doesn't work.
I already had to test my websites across all the major browsers (especially IE8) before HTML5 to be sure that little differences weren't breaking everything. I would hardly expect HTML5 to magically change that anyway.

Office 2010 has a splash screen. Even better, it has a cancel button on the splash, just in case you get tired of waiting and change your mind!
Bundle OpenOffice with Firefox? You know how large the OpenOffice download is compared to Firefox, right?

The risk of the same thing happening to them, of course...
Are you sure? Looks valuable to me...

This makes sense now! It's a preemptive action in preparation for the time when these people discover the largest source of radiation near Earth!

Valve's official statement on that is that it is fake.

Enhance!
Easy, just add (_(_) to the keywords list!
Really? I'll try it.

You sure? I don't see asterisks...

What if she's also your lawyer?

Rotate the screen 90 degrees. I have a coworker who did this with two 5:4 LCDs. Looks funny but it seems to work for him.
