IE definitely played a part in ushering in the era of free browsers, before IE4 came bundled with win98, netscape navigator was a paid product for business users. Also, by your logic, iMessage comes bundled with an expensive (over-priced?) piece of hardware so any benefits the end-users got in the form of a reduction in the prices of sms are moot...
Also, if memory serves sms prices were decreasing without iMessage what with FB messenger and Whatsapp and gTalk, iMessage's contribution to the whole affair is negligible since it was so late to the party
not true...i tried using netscape navigator under windows 98 since navigator had tabs which ie lacked, a week or so later i was back to using ie because i had had enough with the crashes that plagued netscape, this was in 1999, did i mention that i was on a computer with a then powerful p3 (500mhz) processor? it wasn't just that MS started bundling ie with win98, the competition was complacent (to put it politely), i hate MS for what they did after they had dominance in the browser market (and for several other misdeeds) but lets not try to rewrite history
Keeping in view that an investment of $18.7 billion will almost certainly be long term:
Investing in a venue that the UN is actively trying to shrink is what would be to the detriment of the endowment's beneficiaries while trying to divest out of that venue and looking for alternatives will, in the long term, definitely benefit the endowment's beneficiaries. How exactly do you think that's just a political statement?
Also, how is a long term investment in a venue that ruins the environment for the beneficiaries in the interest of the beneficiaries? Are you by any chance a climate change luddite?
after the judge decided to bar the defense from questioning the officer in question and presenting some witnesses? yes, i am certain the jury had a clear picture of what had happened...
So if it's user experience that Apple's after, allow Amazon/whoever else to charge a 30â...premium on whatever they charge elsewhere to pay the Apple tax...telling the developer/vendor that they can not charge less than what they charge on an iOS app anywhere else even if they are not paying the Apple tax, is essentially either telling the developer/vendor to take a hit on every sale they have through the iOS app or charge a premium on every other platform just because... couple that with the fact that the only way to get your app onto a non rooted iDevice is through the Apple walled garden, what exactly can Amazon do?
so i guess if Apple opened up their system and allowed people to install apps from different sources if they so wished, the problem would resolve itself?
Hailing from a country where subsidized phones are unheard of and most people are on pay as you go sims, the number of people with samsung galaxy s3s and samsung galaxy s4s is surprisingly high...the second most common phones are from a chinese smartphone manufacturer with mediatek processors, upto 1gb of ram (mostly 512mb), upto 1080x1920 screen resolution (mostly 480x854), upto android 4.3 os (mostly android 4.2.2), wifi and edge/2g connectivity with a decent sprinkling of iphones, sony, nokia and htc smartphones collectively in third place...tablets are so far considered novelty products and while theres a lot of interest in them, they haven't carved out a market from themselves...dumb phones/feature phones are almost exclusively owned by older folk who don't want to use the internet anyway...so yeh, you are completely wrong:-)...smartphones would have been successful even without contracts, they might not have improved as much as they have in an environment without contracts but they would have been successful...(i use my s4 with cyanogenmod 11 for all my social-media related activities (and when i say all, i mean all, i changed the hosts file on both my laptops to point to a local page so that facebook/g+ tell me to get some work done instead of wasting my time;-) ), some blogging and some gaming...)
Yes, I see you are a fanboy and even pretending to be Muslim for added drama.
Fanboy of what exactly?
Kazmis are a sub-branch of the Syeds, people who can trace their ancestry directly to Ali and Fatima (the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet of Islam and the daughter of the Prophet of Islam), so pretending indeed.
Perhaps you will win a Nobel someday, If Obama can get one, I expect they will be dispensed from slot machines soon.
Hopefully some day I'll write an algorithm to rule all other algorithms and win a Nobel prize for that, one can hope.
Which field of science was Obama awarded the Nobel prize for? Also, you failed to take into account Einstein's respect for Marie Curie.
It should provide some comfort that your misplaced emphasis could show others all your thoughts are only memories of what you have been told.
Your regurgitation of mantra is as convincing as regurgitation on the ground.
Go practice on your mama or your professor, THEN, come back with something besides This is the education that I paid for and if you contradict it, Im gonna get mad and stomp my feet, proving for once and for all I am right because I have a majority behind me. (like any good lemming)
My my, where to begin...having lived in a Muslim country most of my life and being in comp-sci, Marie Curie was never a part of my curriculum...
Regurgitation? Maybe...still as valid as the first time I said it...you still have to come up with a valid counter argument which you repeatedly fail at. Personal attacks don't count (you aren't very good at those either to be honest but meh.
From the sounds of it, you are getting very flustered at failing to defend what you evidently very strongly believe in. Also, I belong to a minority sect in my country (in terms of religion) and on top of that, not a lot of people share my beliefs about how everyone should be equal under the law but yup, I have always enjoyed the support of the majority. Keep assuming, it's rather hilarious (in how ridiculously wrong you are).
Just out of curiosity, what do you have against education?
From thinking that the atom was indivisible to actually splitting atoms within a span of some 40 years, all the people involved in the pioneering work were idiots of the first magnitude. Oh and Pierre (Nobel laureate) and Marie Curie (twice a Nobel laureate) did breed, their daughter Irène Joliot-Curie was awarded (shared with her husband, Frederic Joliot-Curie) the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 for the discovery of artificial radioactivity but clearly, the entire family was a bunch of hillbillies because they did not realize that radiation was dangerous to human health and failed to take proper precautionary measures.
As for your attempt to degrade Islam in order to draw attention to yourself, Id point out, religion is a closed system with its own rules relegating wisdom to higher powers and isnt relevant here. Unless,of course, Curie spilled isotope on herself whilst on her prayer rug.
It is relevant because those muftis are saying pretty much the same thing you are and if humanity had subjected itself to what you are selling, we'd still be living in caves, hunting during the day and cowering in fear during the night, eating uncooked food and going around naked! Christopher Columbus would never have discovered the Americas (both the North and the South), Australia and the Antarctic wouldn't be on our world map (and the rest of the world wouldn't be on the world map of the Native Americans and the Aborigins) and the Christians and Muslims would have wars over whether the earth was flat and the center of the universe (what the Church said) or if it was round and revolved around the sun which itself was hurtling through space (what the Quran says).
Also, if talking against these muftis and their idiotic fatwa somehow degrades Islam, then by that same logic every time I condemn the imbecile mullahs and muftis over fatwas glorifying the Taliban/al-Quaida, I somehow degrade Islam. Rest assured, despite what the fundamentalists on either side will have you believe, that is not the case. Islam, the religion, and the mullahs (along with their fatwas) are not the same thing!
And Marie Curie was an atheist so her being found on a prayer mat would be a shocking revelation. Read some history! Oh and for the record, I am a Muslim so your 'outrage' at the perceived degradation is misplaced!
Perhaps her discovery was more chance than skill. It happens. Even the dopiest hillbilly can win the lottery.
Yes and based on chance discoveries, she was awarded the Nobel prize twice implying that the Nobel Committee was comprised of idiots.
Einstein was an idiot too...he said in an interview that Hendrik Lorentz and Madam Curie were two individuals he respected the most.
Of course with your wisdom and intellect you know better about how to judge another person's intellect and the rabble who praised and still praise Madam Marie Curie for her accomplishments are a bunch of hillbillies.
Define good sense in matters of safety keeping in mind these facts:
1. That certain kinds of matter emit radiation on their own accord was discovered in 1896.
2. The election was discovered in 1897.
3. The term radioactive was coined by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898.
4. In 1932, the FDA started a crackdown insisting on proof of the safety and effectiveness of radioactive health products.
5. Hindsight.
6. The GAIAE (General Authority of Islamic Affairs & Endowments) has issued a fatwa, (an official Islamic ruling) to warn Muslims against a Mars mission based on health and safety concerns.
that is one horrible looking website -.-...there's no mobile version and its not responsive...the title of the post is not a link...the letter-spacing and line-spacing is all wrong making it difficult to read...the darker-gray to lighter-gray gradient belongs in 2007...the only thing going for the site is the way the comments are presented, not that theres that many comments on the site...overall, i'd much rather use beta than the site you are recommending -.-
You could possibly get in touch with the Trade Standards Institute in your country. I know from personal experience with the Trade Standards Institute, UK that getting in touch with them gets you some excellent advice and telling the trader what they told you usually gets the trader to accept responsibility.
Amen to that! What's the op done to any of the F.B. trolls? The op has asked a genuine question which deserves an answer but do these trolls care? Nope. All that matters to them is what they want. Show some consideration to the op and help them out if you can otherwise go fucking troll another thread!
stop cryin...dont use windows if u dun trust ms...no ones forcin u. i aint an ms fan and i havent used windows for the past 2 years on my personal computer or laptop but this just appears lyk they're tryin to deal with the ppl who use ff instead of ie which kinda equals to ms acknowledgin that theres this other browser which a lot of ppl r usin n they'd b stupid to alienate those ppl.
huh? and what? eat grass that grows in the backyard? go nudist? and who needs gas and electricity anyway...live free coz theres this 'free-market' somewhere out there!

oooh ooooh like Mary Curie you mean???? errrmmm didn't she win a Nobel prize, twice? once for physics and then for chemistry?
heh a Pakistani here :-) that's almost exactly how most Pakistanis feel about NATO in general and USA in particular ;-)
