Because the tiny blob happens to fit nicely on a 1024x768 screen, which is still a common resolution. It also happens that most people have a lot of trouble reading slashdot style paragraphs that stretch without any breaks.
That doesn't mean the PC dies, that just means that the scenarios that we use them in, we stop referring to them as PCs, we refer to them as other things.
It's worth pointing out that all of this functionality is already available. There is nothing new here except the name and an icon. Not even an interface change. Much ado about nothing.
Yeah great let's crank it up so we can hear the glorious audiodouche quality for about 20 minutes before our ears start bleeding. What a fantastic idea.
Really? Because I'm pretty sure I stated upfront what evidence I would need to be convinced. I don't think it's unreasonable either. I've never ended a conversation with a statement like that because the evidence is never presented and instead I get lame descriptions and obvious confirmation bias. Don't let that get in the way of your trolling though.
Careful with that strawman. I never asked for a description of the difference, or if other people can hear a difference. I asked for any indication that the GP can tell a difference and isn't simply talking out of his ass.
I contend that such tests are an indictment of blind listening tests in general
I stopped reading after that sentence and the seemingly endless stream of strawman arguments. The guy is a pontificating moron who wouldn't know good science if it bit him in the ass.
1. Find post asking for results of a properly conducted double blind test. 2. Ramble on about your various stereo equipment for a couple paragraphs, show a complete ignorance of confirmation bias. 3. Completely fail to provide the requested evidence, wasting every ones time. 4. ??? 5. Profit!
Did you listen to it double blinded? No? Then I don't care what your confirmation bias tells you that you heard. The difference is beyond your ability to hear, but not beyond your ability to deceive yourself into believing what you want to believe.
Software is written by people, people make mistakes, software contains mistakes. It really is that simple. By the sounds of it you have some magical development process which stops people from making mistakes. Please elaborate.

Cut the FUD. No money was donated, only software. The same software they give to every other non profit organization. Microsoft has a pro-science stance on the issue.
I really did not want the image of a slashdotter showering with his keyboard. I am now forever scarred. I hope you are happy.
1. Take a standard 1080p monitor and flip it to portrait mode.
2. Send a cheque for the amount you saved to me.
3. Profit!
To be fair, Ray Ozzie left Microsoft late 2010. He is working on a start up now.

I will agree with you if you fix some of these bugs I'm having with this Linux 2.2 kernel.
My pet peeve is when people confuse equality and equivalence.
It's worth pointing out that all of this functionality is already available. There is nothing new here except the name and an icon. Not even an interface change. Much ado about nothing.
If you are concerned with computation time or cost you probably shouldn't be using a Mac.
Agreed. I need to be able to add another $5000 onto my absurdly expensive desktop.

No, they don't.

I don't care how highly you think of yourself, until you show me some data you are a worthless troll.
Double blind test or gtfo. The peer reviewed research says you can't hear it. Talk is cheap, show us some data.
Did you listen to it double blinded? No? Then I don't care what your confirmation bias tells you that you heard. The difference is beyond your ability to hear, but not beyond your ability to deceive yourself into believing what you want to believe.
Double blind test results or I will continue to believe that you are suffering from Illusory superiority.
Always?

Browser exploits don't work the way you seem to think they work. A browser is a client, not a server.

Nope.
