You can count them as shipped laptops/desktops, but a laptop for example is essentially the same as a tablet. The difference is that for a tablet a keyboard etc are accessories, whereas in laptops they are built in. The same goes with mobile phones. They are all personal computers, which today are packed with more power and features than the PC's of the past. The field is being miniaturized and diversified, as the concept of personal computer detaches from the rigid paradigm and moves towards the network mimicking its features; thus becoming less physical.
Yeah, an interesting and unique artistic application of the tech. There's a preset example in Processing (Library/Capture/SlitScan) which one can use to create custom slit scans from live video or movement. It's widely used as the basis for such projects, and there are many examples on YouTube.
I've seen one piece where the slit scan was created in sort of 3D and the depth of the image captured the different time frames. The frames could be revealed at any point and sort of dug and sliced into, but that was many years ago and can't remember who it was...
True, the ecosystem will get so diverse than in the end the OS is an UI for specific apps for any available technology. It's like it is today, but taken to a new level of abstraction. Firefox OS is one example of what's coming. Games don't need to reside on the device: the images can be streamed as an interactive video, so the processing power is shared.
New consumer products can be created like reselling of the processing power per the need of the customer. The re-invention of today's physical components and the world as software will allow very thin clients to act as the two-way screens (like Google Glasses) and gaming devices.
Free market != Capitalism. Isn't it the ultimate capitalism when the state and the business go hand in hand reaping profits for as few as possible? Sure there might be competition, but it's fierce and probably bloody too.
The outcome will be beautiful, but I don't know, there needs to be sacrifices, and they are also great opportunities to learn something new. I expect that as the market expands there would be interest to actually hire translators to work with the technology, because of their practical knowledge and aptitude in language.
TFA mixes Windows RT and 8 as if they were compatible, which they apparently aren't (http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/17/3514556/windows-8-vs-windows-rt-surface-confused-microsoft-store-employees).
You can use Nokia maps on your device, or on an iOS device for that matter: http://m.maps.nokia.com/ Besides there's the http://www.openstreetmap.org/ project and it's many (also offline) navigation applications.
More likely some other civilisation is hidden beyond our observable bubble of universe of about 14 billion light years in their own bubble - which can be billions of billions of light years away and practically unreachable.
The problem is the bureaucracy of secrecy; not that secrets exist. On the other hand if everything was open there would be no threats, but it's immensely difficult to let go of the selfish illusions.
True, but at least in the Firefox OS the layout is customizable with CSS. From the Rawkes article:
Because Firefox OS is constructed using HTML, JavaScript and CSS it means you only need basic Web development skills to reach in and completely change the device experience. You could literally change one line of CSS and completely change the way the icons on the homescreen look, or re-write some core JavaScript files that handle phone-calls.
Well, JazzMutant Lemur (http://www.jazzmutant.com/) was a touch screen controller before the iPads, and now it's available for the iPad as an app. So that's something where there really isn't difference except maybe in the sturdiness of the device.
I think the point is the novelty of the concept to the bureaucrats. They are confused and asked for a statement.
Organizations like the Red Cross and such often have urn at the malls, and you can - if you want to - make sure it's legitimate by checking the permit number to collect money on their website or elsewhere. There have been many cases where money has been asked for imaginary causes or on behalf of some organization (even the police:)) by telephone or going door to door.
In general you need a permit to collect money if there is nothing given in return (except at charity events etc.).
Most likely in the end the law will be amended (unless the present laws are already found cover it) to include clauses about crowd funding, which in the best case of course would be excluded too. If it's not then that would be really unreasonable.

Democracy at its finest. Everybody gets pummeled.

Quantum computing is a new and unexplored field of cats, so I'd say that the cat images count too.

Am I the only one who sees there a bright eyed Martian worm? Soon they'll throw sheep at us, dammit.
I'd suggest laser fight competitions and laser fairs at the participants own risk.
Compromise: Huge fucking goggles on the windshield.

Sneak peak sounds more like micro and soft though.
Well, Nokia Maps are available on all WP devices as an application, and one can install Nokia Maps to iPhone too - besides Apple advices the same: http://www.apple.com/letter-from-tim-cook-on-maps/.
If someone can hack their way into a system...
The first step is enough.

Ice mass is decreasing while sea ice is increasing. The effects are connected, and both result from the warmer air.
Antarctica is melting and thus contributing to the total sea level rise - http://www.skepticalscience.com/antarctica-gaining-ice-intermediate.htm

There already are 10 levels.

The comedy when some future model suddenly goes into the fucking mode in public. Anyway - great stuff!
