>>If a persecuted tribe in Africa decides to settle down in Antarctica people wouldn't have a problem. But will it be OK, if they invade California drive out the existing set of people there and settle down. If you think that's anal

Well yeah, that's true. Jews have a right to immigrate to Israel that other peoples don't.

Click the permalink to reply. I don't know what you mean by 'the colonisation thing'. What are you talking about specifically?

Wow. No. You've got it completely wrong. Zionism is the idea that Jews need a Jewish nation to take Jewish refugees fleeing persecution. History has basically proved that to be true. What it's not: 1. The idea that Jews are in any way super

Okay, I'm probably making that mistake because I use Todoist as both calendar and todo list. There is another option as well as the two you list, which is to remove items off your list as you can't/don't want to do them. Since I never have

I'm glad if going todo-less works for the author but I wouldn't recommend it. I doubt many people have the capacity to remember that meeting you're supposed to have Friday after next at 3:30 or that little bug someone just mentioned over th

Amazing design. But if I'm totally honest, it just looks like a blogging platform. I can't tell what's unique about it.

I was thinking the same thing. And it's even more of an improvement when you consider who the smartphone customer base is spreading to. Out of all the tradesmen I know, I don't think any of them have owned an iPhone that wasn't shattered on

Are the new form factors boring? A little. Would people be going on about how boring they were if Steve Jobs were around? I doubt it. The biggest problem Apple faces right now is that people expect them to lose their magic now that Steve Jo

As much as I love all these new touch UIs, I can't see myself using them on a desktop PC. The WIMP paradigm has way too many advantages on desktop to just be dropped. Although if someone took Android and modified the application framework,

To be honest I've seen people complain about this far more often than I've actually seen it happen.

Being a Windows mockup doesn't mean Gnome or KDE can't take inspiration from it. :) Actually when this was first made (a few months ago) it was just an experiment to see how Metro styles and concepts could be applied to the desktop. Back th

Maybe. But it's pretty easy to understand why Israel and the Western world would want to stop Iran getting nukes.

Windows RT is just for dedicated tablets. It's for iPad competitors, basically. Proper PCs will continue to use Windows 8 for x86, which will still have Active Directory, etc.

People are moving to smart phones and tablets anyway. Not because Windows has changed too much, just because they're easier and more convenient.And that's why we have Metro: if Microsoft doesn't follow their customers they're going to lose

Last week they made a post to Building Windows 8 and deleted it shortly after. It had a few caps of the new style in it. Here's one I dug out of my cache: http://imgur.com/hvvQZ It looks sort of like a hybrid of Whistler and Aero styles.

Probably not worth complaining about, though... Once you've minimised the ribbons Explorer won't have any more chrome than it did in Windows 7.

I use the Fb app a few times a day and I'm happy enough with it. The interface is attractive enough and doesn't have any glaring usability issues. Performance (on my Nexus S w/ 2G connection) could improve but isn't so bad that it causes fr

Depends on gameplay, but I can see non-programmers playing. In the beginning they might not have to use much code at all. When they've advanced a bit they might just use code copy-pasted from the Web. At the intermediate stage maybe they ne
