The key here is "selected components [...] would be made available as open source".
Both Nokia and Symbian still continue to offer paid "partner-only" API. Even though Nokia says they don't charge for licensing the APIs, only "processing fees", Symbian one is insanely expensive as you have to join their Platinum Program to access it.
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. Last I checked it was still the case.
Well, at least one year ago, it still was the most painful platform I had to develop for. Didn't touch it since then. However, Nokia's Carbide C++ v1.2 was a major step-up from v1.1 (still far from perfect). Now that v1.3 is out I may give it another shot, though I don't expect anything spectacular.
Windows emulator in S60 SDK is still consistently crap.
I am skeptical about the study as well. Some people are inherently more emotional and tend to be more creative (in the traditional sense). Probably the reason is that it is natural for them to be sad or excited over little things, like winning/losing a game of DDR.
Also Google's contextual ads showing up in Gmail for mail in Russian are absolutely irrelevant to the subject most of the time as compared to mail in English. That really tells about the attention to the markets other than English-speaking.
Can Apple push Safari via iTunes the same way as iTunes and iPod firmware updates? Not an unlikely scenario if it is to feature iTMS integration in the future.
Our experience has been that Microsoft gives a lot of lip service to wanting to work with open source Linux, but then proceeds to drag their feet and delay in actually delivering anything meaningful. (Does anyone following ODF believe Microsoft's proposed "open standards" are really open, or just self-serving?) Given their history, I'm understandably very skeptical that Microsoft sincerely wants to do much here.
At this point, you may be thinking, "Wow. That was a big waste of time. All of this stuff is obvious and everyone knows it. Why did anyone write all of this?" I hope this is what you're thinking. Then you're already smart. Good for you.
There is a much greater need to tell when a site is NOT safe. There is a reason that URLs with IP addresses and domain names such as "www.paypal.secure.dodgydomain.info/..." are still effective.
Introduction of a new TLD is not a replacement for user education.

I think the story answers this "Ask Slashdot" question quite well. Except the poster of the former story was not getting fired.
I have read "Roundest Object In the World Created " and immediately thought "CowboyNeal".

So, you are saying you'd rather have Uwe Boll as a director? ;)

...we need someone to explain string theory in TFS. Or, better yet, in the title.
...if it would happen in Soviet Russia.

Print version. The page is really ridden with ads (including a popup and a flash video).
"I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" by The Ink Spots. It was supposed to be a title track for Fallout 1, but Black Isle couldn't get the license.

This link was submitted on Digg almost a year ago! That's a new definition of "oldnews", I guess.
Piracy in Russia is still rampant. Most stores are still selling pirate software exclusively. As well as many organizations are running it.
Let's paint all our boxen like this!

The summary is right. It indeed does wipe the whole home directory. http://www.versiontracker.com/php/feedback/article .php?story=20070204234239880
Also, please enlighten me why would a bank employee have a laptop with 11M customer records at home?
