Too many games spend all their time focusing on visuals, a cinematic feel, and "immersion" while gameplay hasn't really advanced much in the last 5 years. It's gotten kind of stale.
I'm very skeptical, but I think people should give it a chance at least. There's plenty of radical changes that people balk at that end up catching on.
You're a minority. Like it or not, Windows has 84.41% operating system marketshare. (http://www.netmarketshare.com/os-market-share.aspx?qprid=9). It's by far the most prevalent OS.
Windows 8 is not Vista and is not Windows ME. By all accounts so far, performance is the same or better than Windows 7. The problems are with the lack of a start menu, Metro, and the odd windows 3.1-esque flat UI.
At least Microsoft Account is a better name than Windows Live ID. Windows Live was just a poor attempt at cashing in on the popularity of the Xbox Live name. Sony, on the other hand, loves to add more words to obfuscate their product names (Sony Entertainment Network Account)
I love Firefox. It still has a few annoyances though. Having to sometimes manually kill the Firefox task to start a new browser window because it's "already open" is my biggest one. But, I still love its customizability over the sheer rigidness of Chrome.
I use Windows all the time in my personal life and at work, and I like the interface. However, I can't stand using a GUI for a server. While it may be easier to figure out how to do things with a GUI, tasks aren't easily repeatable. It's also much easier to write scripts and automate things if you're using the command line and shell scripts
Wikipedia definitely needs a NSFW or Not Safe for School feature at least, unless it's hidden somewhere. Certain articles like defecation go a little over the top.
Are you kidding? Chrome's extension API has always been limited by design. Extensions are not allowed to change the interface or even do simple things like disable autoscrolling. Remember how long it took for Adblock to even be available for Chrome? Google has been fighting customization the whole way.
How does Chrome have a nicer interface? We're stuck with the big ugly "other bookmarks" folder that can't be moved or deleted, and buttons that can't be rearranged. Firefox and Chrome have pretty much identical interfaces these days, but Firefox's can be customized. That's the difference.
There's not too many more superheroes the can make movies out of. Once you have to make a movie about Thor, you know you're reaching the bottom of the barrel. I bet you we'll see Aquaman soon.
Expecting: Launch faster, operate faster. I don't expect much difference in security from 32 to 64 bit. Also, I would hope that most plugins are compatible
...yet the same people would probably be against the Patriot Act because they don't want government interference in their lives. But the government is good when it supports a cause you believe in, right? Idiots.
This makes a lot of sense. The amount of code being changed in Firefox source has remained constant over time, but the version numbering system has been changed. Enterprises have assumed that "minor updates" do not need to be tested. The move from Firefox 3.6.3 to 3.6.4 brought bigger changes with out of process plugins than 4.0 to 5.0, which just brought performance and security updates. Besides, upgrading to a new version of a web browser is nothing like upgrading an entire department to Office 2010 or Windows 7. The web is a constantly changing place, with websites redesigning themselves without warning. Maybe enterprises need a more rapid web browser deployment system that can keep up with Firefox, Chrome, and IE's upcoming rapid release system.

Not a great method of making a difference, but it's an awesome prank.
Will the Blu-Ray improve the awful acting in the 1st half of season 1?

2 years ago, this would have been AN OUTRAGE! Now? Not so much. Just set your user agent to iPad, and a lot of video sites will work without Flash.

Objective C is only popular because iOS requires it. It's like reporting that orange jumpsuits are the hot fashion trend in prison.

Nice, but I've seen 1000 "portal in real life" videos in the 4 years since the game was released.

Linux had its shot at the desktop when Netbooks first appeared. It lost that battle. I doubt it will have another one.

I love twitter. It's more like an RSS feed. Google+ is just... facebook.

The new Sonic would be great if it didn't run at 10 frames per second.
Because Silverlight IS a sinking ship...
