PHP is like old, moldy spaghetti that is reheated over and over, new sauce poured on top, and served to the same customers after they send it back to the kitchen again and again for being horrible.
TWC increased my throughput by 50% a month or two ago, yet I live in the coastal southeast, nowhere near Kansas City. I certainly haven't received any price cuts though. In fact, just two months ago Time Warner implemented a "modem rental" fee of $3.99/mo on top of the existing rate.
If only I could get Google Fiber or a municipal ISP:-/
I really don't understand this at all. Once you buy the phone (subsidized or not) it should be *yours* to do with as you please.
The argument that it protects the carrier from you switching to another provider is ridiculous. If you buy a subsidized phone, sign the contract, and then jump ship, you still have to pay an ETF if you move elsewhere...so what's the big deal? At that point, you've paid for the phone.
There is no way this should be a law.
Come on now... Everyone knows that nobody needs to remember stuff anymore! Anything and everything you could possibly need is just a Google search away!
Those academic tests teachers require you to take? Just distractions...uh...right?
Whether it's proper use (whatever that means) of the term "native HTML5" or not, what Microsoft is implying is that their browser is the only one that runs HTML5 (specifically some of the graphics and video layers) directly on top of Windows Vista/7 graphical subsystems tied directly to hardware. I'm sure it employs technologies like WPF, DirectX, and so on.
The competitors (Mozilla, Opera, Google, and Apple) support hardware acceleration, but they do it their own way--almost like they "hacked together" support for true hardware acceleration. Firefox and Chrome's rendering of complex 3D scenes is still jerky and relatively slow *especially* compared to IE. I've also noticed that Firefox's live preview renderings (for parts of Aero) are absolutely awful. They might as well not even exist at all.
I'm not really an IE user, but I have to give kudos to Microsoft for the raw performance of IE 9 and 10. It really takes advantage of modern hardware. Other browser vendors should stop mocking and take some solid notes.

The problem with this survey is that it takes into account only the opinions of *early adopters.* Most of those are almost assuredly Apple fanbois who are willing to praise anything the company releases, no matter how good, bad, or flawed (uh...iPhone 4 anyone??).
Reporting that Steve Jobs is happy with Apple would be more news than is this survey...
AFAIK, Hulu has never ever promised anyone anywhere an app of any kind. There have been rumors that an app is in the works, and is "just a few months away," but these speculative reports (released every few months) are the only thing I've seen. So, if by "hulu app for iPhone and iPad" they mean "rumors of a hulu app for iPhone and iPad," then they're totally successful...
...because initially, MS went for the bid (attempting to dominate the space business), but NASA has (apparently) gotten wiser and moved away from satellites that BSOD at random.
And then, if a download did happen to be corrupt, one would assume that Microsoft would let you download the software as many times as you want (I mean, you paid for it, right??) I've seen way too many companies put a limit on the number of times a piece of software may be downloaded and it's just an absurd business model. Bandwidth isn't *that* expensive.
So, let's just have the FCC decide that all browsers must check with a central worldwide database to see what the current browser percentage is. If there are more than 30% users using IE, then it makes you start Firefox, then Opera, then Safari. If all of these exceed their posted limit, you just have to get in the queue for your desired browser.
Pretty sure that if Apple takes Palm, I'm switching to a PocketPC right away. I don't buy Macs. Why buy an Etch-a-sketch when you can get a COMPUTER for the same price? Go with real Linux (not the one for Dummies e.g. OSX) or just use Windows. I have high hopes for Vista...high hopes that Apple will fall over dead.

But...but...but...I haven't even finished playing Oblivion yet! In fact, I've only had it since March of 2006!!
Don't look now, but I bet Apple is pulling the strings at UbiSoft. This sounds *exactly* like something they'd do!

What's your problem?? Are you *really* going to turn down the opportunity to make one less decision each day?
please go ahead and stab him in the face. one less boss in the world is one happier employee!
because for some strange reason, we're not allowed to use the word "Windows" anymore due to the DMCA...

Such a great idea!
