I'm not quite sure you are fortunate because I used a single word. you added in your political garbage to load the word with shit that I had no intention of conveying. You assumed I was talking about a particular set of governments, however, I was talking about government as an institution of society and civilization in general. Thanks for playing.
I am sure homo Sapiens expanded into their territory now that the ice age opened natural barriers and...by that time we were sufficiently brutish enough that we probably went to war for their resources.
And one of necessity....In a tribe, you can gather everyone together and talk to communicate to the population....in a city of thousands, you need something else. Sure town criers work but what bureaucracy needs a record to be maintained beyond what someone recollects a few months later....Who said a bureaucrat was worthless? I am it was a bureaucrat that invented writing in the first place.
I am sure the future humans will see us as a bunch of moronic neanderthals that had no culture because we have no long lasting and readable way to record our story.
Android allows any app to register it's sharing service with it. all you need to do is choose the picture and get the context menu then choose to share and what service to use.
Picasa permissions for your photos are automatically set to anyone with the link for android/G+ auto uploads.
you could share it right from your android phone by press and hold on the image in the camera app and choose share which produces a nice long list of services to share with.
Seriously? That is the best you have "it's obvious".....
Perhaps, their motivation is to unify the UI across devices? If it was obvious that they wanted to make people use touch as the primary UI, then I guess that is their goal for the x-box too... I mean....metro is on there too.
Google has no more than 65% of the Search market...an even smaller percentage of the e-mail market, and even smaller percentage of the social market....and on it goes.
At my office, tablets are used for note taking (using those little KBs in the cover). I have considered getting a tablet rather than a laptop for my next personal PC because I do not use my laptop for much work anymore and for the random times I need to take notes, there is a good KB solution for them now.
I plan to get a WOA tablet when they become available.
This place and OSNews are full of a bunch of overly self important idiots who can't see past their nose.
Change is bad....Anything MS does is stupid.....Anything Apple Does is evil.....Google is stealing my soul to sell to marketers.....Social is a stupid waste of time....blah blah blah blah blah.
why would you say the end goal is to get everyone to use a touch screen on their desktop? There has been no statement to that direction. If the KB and Mouse are equally able to be used to navigate the UI, then saying the UI changes are intended to force touch screens on everyone, without any supporting evidence, is simply paranoia.

and it was a government that formed agriculture and urban populations.
your assumption, not my statement.
did I say anything about current governments?
Thank government for the foundational breakthrough that business could not do....
Thank government for developing a system that allowed business to even exist!

WTF? the Metro UI is 100% functional with a Keyboard and mouse. I am using right now!
Unifying the UI is not the same thing as unifying the Human Interface Devices. Windows 8 is 100% functional and productive with a mouse and keyboard.
" people complain about the "Sony rootkit*", and ignore the fact that MS already had root on any machine that was vulnerable! "
The only way to read that is you think there is no difference between Rootkit and root privilege.

Your statistics are pure bullshit.
Google has no more than 65% of the Search market...an even smaller percentage of the e-mail market, and even smaller percentage of the social market....and on it goes.
you know there is a difference between a rootkit and having root privileges...right?

The priest who officiated the funeral I was just at yesterday was using a tablet for a bible (at the internment ceremony, not the church).
an entire start screen that takes up space only when you are launching an app...what is the issue again?
what? rethink the work space???? crazyness.
