World's First Tizen Tablet

When was Android last mentioned by Samsung? Their brand lies now with Galaxy, not Android. Samsung Galaxy is basically an industry synonym for Android (high-end) phone today. They likely intend to use this brand value to eventually ship Tizen phones as Galaxy phones, and if skinned with same UI and some Android compatibility layer for apps, nobody is missing Android.
You missed the point by a mile, so that probably makes you upper management...
1) This "fix" you reference doesn't work for me. Yes, I can google for stuff.
2) Users shouldn't have to jump thru hoops like this, _ever_. If you think making legit users do things like this is acceptable... well, I'm sorry for you.
3) M$ seems to have at least three different ways to check for activation status (the one at System Properties, one at Web and one at MSE)... WTF?
MSE install fails genuine check on Windows 7 Ultimate and won't even install. Windows is legit and activated and MS website activation passes and says its genuine. Oh well, the good ole trusty M$ quality again...
How about combining new tech and old tech for a new solution: instead of using pen and paper you use voting machine, which prints your vote on a paper (ballot card), and also stores the vote in some database. You then drop the ballot card for voting box (same as you do now). Electronic votes are used for result approximation and for press and news etc (you can use simpler scheme than in TFA), and the paper votes are still the official result and are counted and verified by hand.
Obviously this does not cut down costs, but gives you the security of a current pen and paper system, yet delivering speedy results and other benefits electronic systems have.
If only it was. I really don't get e-voting. Why do people insist on using these highly complex, extremely expensive systems when the simple approach (write an X in a box on a piece of paper) works well and has done for hundreds of years, in the UK anyway.
One argument for the e-voting is that IF we have a proper, easy to configure&deploy e-voting system, it COULD be used more often than the pencil-and-paper voting. It is said to increase democracy, since voting would occur more frequently and over more decisions, rather than apprx. once a year.
Only if that was the true case, it would be good. I just think that its used as the argument to sell it to the people, and then just silently fix the important votes using the unverifiable votes..:(
First, Airbus passed them on market share, but managed to mess themselves with their superplane wannabe, leaving huge window for Boeing to dominate the market with their Dreamliner, and it sure looked its going to work. And then they blow it by making the same mistakes as their competitor. Nice job.
The only challenge is making smart enough artificial intelligence to reach singularity, like discussed a while back in./... After that we can simplify the engineering challenge list to single item: control the AI.
Hopefully the vertical tabs won't catch any major wind in the web, they're the usability killer for me at least. Vertical text is so unreadable and so easty to miss with a cursor.

To think that anybody would want to run a DX10 game on an 800mhz no SSE CPU is insane, even considering the company involved.
I want to see someone run DX10 capable Windows on a 800Mhz CPU first, then we can talk about running games on top of that!

I meant fix the important ELECTIONS, obviously.

If by that you mean it should pass now, you're wrong, it still shows it wrong.
