You're completely missing the enterprise side of the equation, which is still a booming part of MSFTs business right now. And they are still a goliath in Enterprise (Windows Server, Exchange, SQL Server, etc). You also speak of their 'downf

Lending on the Kindle has worked pretty well for me. Can you clarify why it's lame? Also, can you name a device that Amazon doesn't support, apart from the Nook? I frequently read my Kindle content on the Kindle itself, my two PCs and my M

That's not a valid comparison. The iPad with 3G does not include the cost of the data connection. This includes a 100MB/month connection with the cost of the subscription.

Is it just me, or does this guy have his definitions swapped. That, or I've been wrong this whole time: I've always thought of hackers as more freewheeling, possibly with less formal training (or possibly not) who like to play with new tech

I'm definitely going to give it a look. For some reason I thought the single window layout wasn't coming till this version. The multiwindow layout wouldn't be so awful if OSX were better at windows management && I had more than one

Per your point #3: I spend a lot of time in both Windows 7/VS2010 AND OSX/XCode (along with a smidgen of time in Ubuntu as well) and crashes are just about a thing of the past in all three environments. That said, Xcode/OSX gives me the sp

I would say 'free' beats it, even at $5. Still, it's gonna be worth it for the single window interface alone.

3. Yup. I'm exclusively accessing internet through 3G right now, and I'm only 15 minutes from town. No DSL or cable options for me. 4. I agree it's been totally oversold. Those "To the cloud!" emails make me roll my eyes, even if that on

I'm not saying it will succeed (that remains to be seen) but: 1. Not if you don't have the money for a computer in the first place. My grandparents would really like to get online, and the difference between a $400 laptop and a $200 netb

I think price is the real key. If it's around the $200 mark, I'll probably even pick one up for surfing while sitting on the couch or toilet. My grandparents need/want a laptop, and literally all they'll ever use it for is to google stuff

There are plenty of criticisms to hurl at Microsoft, but I just don't see how 'not innovating' is one of them. The Kinect is highly innovative and it the fastest selling gadget in history: http://www.neowin.net/news/kinect-beats-apple-beco

The counter is pretty cool. It will probably up my productivity/decrease my browsing at work. The only problem is I'm experiencing a much higher than normal rate of tab crashes. I hope that will clear up.

In our online store 'The safer, easier way to pay.' is a part of the page. The logo gif and the markup is part of the specs when you implement Paypal. The code looks like this, and came directly from the Paypal implementation guide:

My initial response to this: turkeys can fly even without a strong wind. They're agile, and extremely crafty. This is a terrible metaphor.

Yes, this. There isn't really a single avenue of study at University you can choose where you shouldn't encounter this. Unless you can make it through a degree without writing a single paper. The idea that you can plagiarize anything in a

This is...an interesting approach. Reddit is far from a Microsoft loving community; it will be interesting to see 1. If Microsoft can get some good feedback (they should be able to) 2. If they'll use the feedback (remains to be seen) 3. I

Thanks, I will check it out as it has been about a year. I think about 80% of my preference was simply familiarity.

The dev tools in IE8 are pretty darn good. I still use Firebug as my primary, but when I'm chasing an IE specific bug, the dev tools are pretty solid. I even prefer them to Chrome's.

For sure. For a while there, I tried it as my default. I came back to Google for the long tails on my obscure coding error searches, but until the recent Google revamp, I would go back to Bing specifically for image searches. Also, I stil

Have you checked out the tab sugar extension for Chrome yet? I think you can save your tabs as groups and quickly pull them back up. I messed with it some; it didn't really do what I was looking for but might be more in line with what you

While what you describe is a common enough practice, you definitely have to worry about closing future doors. I'd pick a place and go with it. You can always make a change in a year or so if it's not working out without burning bridges a

Clicking on the previous directory name takes you up a level. And tab completion works in the bar for going forward.
