Businesses are switching to Windows 7 only because all the new computers they buy come with Windows 7 installed. If they could still get new computers with Windows XP installed, they would buy them.
What kind of business would do that? The brand new Dells we purchase are reimaged with a ready-made XP-image. We don't care about what OS the computer comes with. This is pretty common, and you apparently know nothing about enterprise management.
Regarding closed/proprietary hardware. The VPU in the A10 is still closed. And the Cedar library is terrible. They haven't been very cooperative in this regard?
Yet, the autobahn has fewer deaths than most roads. Autobahn has fewer deaths than the interstate system, even though it has way higher speeds. (2.7 deaths pr. bn. km., vs 4.5 deaths for the interstate)
There's even a 2005 study that concluded that the "no limit" sections of the Autobahn had no more accidents than the sections with speed limits.
And autobahn is one of the safest highways as well:
Traffic zooms by on the German autobahn at 120 mph. The speed-limitless highway system stretches 6,800 miles and the Federal Ministry of Transport has declared the autobahn to be one of the safest road systems in the world despite the roaring, high speeds. US highways, on the other hand, rank as one of the most dangerous where speed limits range from 55 to 75 mph. Strict laws are believed to be the prominent reason the autobahn is safer than US highways.
In "erroneous"' case, the choice is made by the individual user. In your example, there appears to be no choice for the end-user, but a corporate decision. How do you think your office would fare if the users could choose themselves? In my office (15k+), the choice is open. Users can choose between iPhone and various android phones. Guess what? The vast majority chooses android. In fact, I'm not sure I've encountered even one person with an iPhone so far...
A thorough study was made and research has shown that the number of iPhones sold has decreased since the release of Samsung Galaxy S3. This has been quite a setback since iPhone 4S held the spotlight with a market share of a whopping 20 percent. But with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3, iPhone 4S has seen a drop in the sales line by almost 5 percent.
Because the list is from a different hack, not PSN. This scriptkiddie just copy-pasted a credentials list from march. Here: http://pastebin.com/hhU8Q9di
I've seen the pastebin from march (Or was it february? I'm not entirely sure). I can't find it in my twitter feed atm though. It's just a kid trying to scare people.
When one is talking PB-sized datasets, hard drives are suboptimal. Way too high failure rate, too sensitive to the environment, and way more expensive than tapes.
This is what so many people seem to fail to understand. Tapes are still very useful. They, however, serve a completely different use case.
Yes. Enterprise backup with bucketloads of tapes. For Joe Home User, a couple of 2TB drives in enclosures would be very much cheaper, just as fast/faster, and about as easy to take offsite (which in my experience, never happens with home users).

Currently sharing at 140mbit. Now, if I could only get more than 20mbit down, it'd be awesome.

1) The Swipe to unlock-patent was invalidated as the Neonode N1 had slide to unlock. In 2004.
2) Yes, and they're pretty much all impractical.

The only thing this kid has defeated, is everyones critical thinking. Google the first hash on the list. View all the search results. See anything?
And it can be confirmed too. This is the same credentials list: http://pastebin.com/hhU8Q9di
Note the date on that pastebin...
There was no hack. This is the same credentials list, posted in march: http://pastebin.com/hhU8Q9di

So, your tapes are immune to demagnetization or physical damage?
When one is talking PB-sized datasets, hard drives are suboptimal. Way too high failure rate, too sensitive to the environment, and way more expensive than tapes.
There were tapes before DDS too. I remember seek times the 15-20 minute range for tapes in the range of a couple of 100mb.
Yes. Enterprise backup with bucketloads of tapes. For Joe Home User, a couple of 2TB drives in enclosures would be very much cheaper, just as fast/faster, and about as easy to take offsite (which in my experience, never happens with home users).
And when Mr. Walmart buys a Ferrari once a week instead of once every 8 days, he keeps more people employed. That is a huge problem, innit?
And export their wealth instead of using it in the country? Excellent. That'll help!
There's plenty of "market demand" for jobs. Look at Greece. Or Portugal. Or Spain. Yet there's loads of unemployed people.
