There's a big difference between "It will run on ARM" and "We spent some not insignificant time optimizing the platform on ARM." I'm generally not a huge fan of MSFT but it will be nice and somewhat revolutionary to be able to have the same exact OS/applications on the desktop/laptop and tablet platforms. AFAIK no one else has compatible binaries between those two platforms. As always, the implementation may be garbage, but it sounds like they've got some pretty revolutionary stuff going on. I hope it works out for us (consumers).
I'm not surprised at all that charging the same or more for less product results in increased revenues. I was responding to someone mentioning the tiny size of the snack packs. Well when removing 1 olive from a salad saves millions (my peanut example was corrected by another user) and people don't complain then it's clear to see how that system will progress. A race to the bottom.
I remember a story from back in the 90s where apparently Delta or one of the other big airlines reduced the number of peanuts in the peanut package by 1 peanut and it saved the company millions of dollars. When you do things on a massive scale it's amazing how much tiny little changes add up.
MSFT will be in a position of wanting Android to be successful in the market, since their license fee for Android is exactly the same as the fee they charge for a license of Windows Mobile.. more revenue with no labor (aside from a couple lawyers). MSFT will be the most profitable person in the mobile phone operating business.
I think Google probably has built up a decent portfolio via acquisitions, but you're right, probably not nearly the size of some of the other players in the game.
In most states once you put trash out by the road it ceases to be your private property. That is why, for example, police do not need a warrant to go through your trash. Not sure how that applies to businesses.
Or you could... ya know... not commit fraud. I'm against stupid seizures like they did with the PS3 hacker guy, but honestly what portion of the population is having their hard drives snatched and are compelled to provide passwords that aren't guilty of something serious?
Except if for some silly reason you don't provide the key the police will hire one of the many locksmiths in the area and will have your safe open within an hour or two.
Not that malware hasn't slipped into the Google store before, but the summary seems to indicate that this particular malware is circulating in 3rd party app stores. Something I would wager 99% of users don't even know exist.
I look at it differently. It's good that the Congress critters get people emotional about things which really have very little impact on our lives because those people can worry about "those issues over there" and let the people who care deal with real progress in the world.
This isn't true. From the profile, on the left where you see the icons of people in the user's circles you can click "View All" and see which circles people are in. This is a setting you can turn off, but by default everyone who can see your profile can see your circles.
Yes, you've correctly stated the situation at hand. Only put things on a social networking site that you want to be public. The same rules apply as when you send out any communication that can easily be tracked back to you such as e-mail. I don't see what's to be so upset about.
Google+ indexes every posting for the search engine, which you could expect I guess... I just hope I don't start seeing people's Google+ streams showing up in my searches on a regular basis.
I think it's simpler than that, even if you take the advice of your lawyer. WRT making it big, you need the big labels more than they need you. Your tiny cut with them may still be orders of magnitude more than what you're currently getting on your own. The exceptions to that rule are very few and far between.
I would add contacts as an additional tie that binds. E-mail and calendar are both heavily reliant on contacts. Maintaining that in duplicate would be silly.
I haven't used Evolution or any other fat client in a few years but for me it was the optimum choice to give to people who were transitioning away from Outlook because it had the most familiar interface. It didn't need to be the best technical choice, it was the best pragmatic choice.

Yah, but how do I change my google+ stylesheet/theme? LoL, jk, that feature sucks.

The AM radio station reporter will be there to report on claims that they're not actually in Alaska and it was all done on a stage in Hollywood.

That analogy is poor because in the case of the safe the police will open it with or without your permission. A better analogy escapes me.

IOW the automated tests only tests what the test was written for.
To clarify, I'm not suggesting you shouldn't sell your used games. Just saying it's different than your used car or whatever.
The quality of the car and other products goes down after use. The bits that make up the video game do not degrade over time.

98% of all media are owned by less than 10 conglomerates. Where do you suppose you'll be advertising?
Typical IT project philosophy: I'll go to the customer and try to get some [strike]requirements[/strike] money. The rest of you, start coding.

You could configure your gmail account to do that for you automatically. You can even send e-mail from your other account using the gmail interface.
