Since the release of Windows 8, many users complained that they wanted traditional apps -- the applications they had grown accustomed to -- to be included in Windows Store.
I'd like to meet one of these users. I support Windows machines, and I've never had a customer mention the Windows store. Mostly they just want me to show them how to turn off the creepy stalking crap in Windows 10.
maybe women in general don't like the tech side of IT. just putting that suggestion out there
That's a generalisation, but it could well be true.
The only time I have ever seen this in action was about 10 years ago when my older son was about 8 and the school decided to have this after school "Learn to Programme" programme.
The woman who ran it was a really clever enthusiastic young person who clearly enjoyed what she was doing, and wanted to encourage girls to follow in her footsteps, and she got exactly no girls in the class after the second week, because the girls thought it was hard.
Hardly a scientific example, but my son was not surprised, even at eight years old.
I don't live in the US, but I do live in a 5 eyes country, so I have often wondered whether the Police in my country have any of these devices.
My expectation is that they do have them, and they use them a lot, but won't respond to a FOI request on National Security grounds.
As far as I am aware no-one has asked.
I have a Canon EOS 550d, marketed as the Rebel 2 (?) I think in the US 5 or so years ago when it was new.
It has an 18.4 mega pixel sensor.
The Canon 5d mark IV has a 50 mega pixel full frame (35 mm film equivalent), although that is considered a pro level camera.
Having said that, I have seen at the camera club I attend an image taken on an iPhone 4 win the top prize for the night. Taken by a very skilled photographer though.
Here we all are, moaning about the capture of Government by Corporations, and it's all true. The US Government is of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation, but what's the solution?
It seems the only way to change the situation is through violence, but history tells us that that's not a very good solution.
But what the Rpi does have over everyone else? Community and long-term support...
I came here to say exactly this.
I'm not much of a programmer, I can mess about with bash and a bit of Python if I'm forced to, and do you know what?
With a Raspberry Pi I can always find guidance to do exactly what I want, with the skills I have, written by some clever person who has made their knowledge available.
My wife's friends are all upper middle class middle aged women, and until a year or so ago they were 100% iPhone users.
A group of us went out to dinner on Saturday night and only about 4 out of 12 women there still use iPhones. It was so noticeable that my wife even asked me on the way home if she should get an Android phone "like the boys have" for her next phone.
Hardly a scientific study of course, but it was kind of striking.
The artists, who took time from their lives to produce the music, won't get paid.
The artists were never going to be paid.
Releasing a single gets them into more debt with their label, and as noted by an AC above, they will probably have to pay for this suit, which they will have no say about either.

probably there is a lot of people who got bored or the novelty of the game just passed...
That's me. I'm an old gamer so Pokémon seemed like fun, it was free, and I could play while I walk the dog.
After a few weeks the novelty has worn off and I'm back to looking forward to Civ VI coming out.
Hopefully the "Win RT" phones are history and the Surface Phone is an x86 computer in your pocket.
I wouldn't think so, most people want battery life of a day or so. You won't get that with x86.

New battery costs about 25 of my local dollars.
Its a perfectly good phone and does everything I need it to.
Please don't feed the trolls.
Any 21 year old with no self control is just a poorly raised child.
I assumed it was just bloatware Samsung created for smartphones, which everyone disabled because it's terrible.
If they have offices and presumably staff, someone must be paying Flipboard money.
What a weird world we live in.
Sure. Where do I send my check?
Neither party is interested in your money. You're not a huge corporation.
So yes, it's a Tablet.
If you look at the numbers, the NRA spend almost nothing with Democrats, but nearly $600,000 with Republicans.
If they want support from Democrats, they need to pay for it like everyone else. Don't go pretending it has anything to do with ethics or beliefs.
As a Steam user, why would I want this? Just another epic Sony fail.
Whenever a Hollywood studio wants to make a movie, they tell our government how much the taxpayers need to shell out to keep the jobs here. The last big deal cost us at least $75 million.
The threats are always that jobs will go overseas, but no thought about whether they are jobs worth keeping.
The US elections have been reported almost nightly where I live, which is none of the above.
It even gets in some dog whistle racism while it's at it.
Quote: was brought up by two white parents who adopted him and raised him out of the goodness of their own hearts.
Youngman told Ars that she had just returned from church one Sunday morning
DRINK!
and was cleaning her two shotguns
DRINK!
She had a clear view of the Blue Ridge Mountains
DRINK!
Youngman explained that she grew up hunting and fishing in Virginia...
DRINK!

Does anyone have any thoughts?
From TFA he says he doesn't like what Apple are doing with their new phones, so he won't like it very much when he buys one.
Pardon?
Sensible people would say "I don't like what Apple are doing with their new phones, so I will buy something else.
Also she looks great in a short skirt. I might be thinking of someone else.
30 miles off the coast of Rhode Island
Hardly the middle of the Atlantic, which as you point out would be stupid.

That just makes the Raspberry Pi better value.

You should read this it explains pretty well how labels screw bands.
