Comment This is my problem with F/OSS in general... (Score 0, Troll) 327

...and Gnome in specific.

Some rogue programmer often makes it his or her holy mission to force everybody to use the software the same way that THEY USE IT. This means that something I've used for a while might suddenly lose functionality in the name of a "bugfix". Also, these programmers almost never consult usability groups in order to figure out how peopole ACTUALLY use the software.

And yes, I realize that this is going to be -1 (troll) within a ten minutes. I do not care.

Comment Sweet mercy, you mean videos aren't the answer? (Score 4, Interesting) 110

I loathe watching videos. Hate hate hate. Videos are not effective for general learning. And I know, some people "have different learning styles", but everybody and their brother thinks that it's a good idea to make invariably-shitty videos about things that people want to learn. I want to read something with pictures. I don't want to watch a damn video.

Comment They must have been subsidizing the Kindle Fire. (Score 4, Insightful) 309

That's the only reason I can think of that they would stop making money. It's like how Microsoft used to lose money on every Xbox sold, or Sony and the PS3. They wanted a foot in the door of the market, and their next offering will be something that makes them money for each unit sold, rather than losing them money.
