The idea of BYOD may kill Windows 10, but it's nowhere near the level of acceptance necessary to kill Windows 8. My business won't let *any* outside devices connect to their network for security reasons, and I suspect that they're not at all alone in that respect. Chained-down PCs running whatever the company's acceptable suite of apps may be are still the norm.

'When I was a kid, games were more beautiful and magical and immersed you in fantastical, peaceful and enjoyable landscape.'

Yeah, I hear that Contra and Ninja Gaiden were all about peace and love. I guess this guy only played Mario when he was a kid.

I'm 29 and I can repair things around the house just fine, thank you. I guess this article is talking about people younger than me, but I doubt many of them own houses...

I think it's a shame that on this rare occasion when Microsoft displays a sense of humor they get punished for it.

This doesn't sound like a utopian future, this sounds like terrorist cells. Are you sure that you're not talking about Al Qaeda?

Agreed. Opinion article is opinion. There's nothing wrong with the simplicity of Wikipedia's interface.

Additionally, I'm not certain that I would want the submission process simplified. It's already simple enough that there's plenty of faulty information on the site from uninformed or spiteful editors. What would happen if every assclown in the universe could edit entries without learning a bit of markup code first?

I'm not sure why Apple would want to get involved in this manner with the greatest evil in our world today, News Corp. If they want to make an app for the iPad, that's fine, but I don't see why Apple would want to publicize this new app as forging some kind of relationship between the two companies.

Because there's no other way to possibly make copies of DVDs now that RealDVD is gone!

Yeah, the offer isn't ripping anyone off. Novell is worth practically nothing as a company, they don't really have products that anyone is interested in purchasing anymore. Maybe for headhunting purposes their programmers are worth something?

That lawsuit seems way off base though. I've owned Novell stock for years and this buyout is a real blessing.

Novell's stock was up above $6 this morning, and I finally unloaded that sucker. Why would people be buying at above $6 when the buyout offer is $5.75? I guess people enjoy losing money.

I'm really quite proud of Google for taking on China over this issue. I understand that China is a big search market and Google is just trying to ensure that it gets every last click out of it, but having uncensored access to Google search is something that Chinese citizens really should have. It's one of their only ways to find news and information that hasn't been filtered through the government's propaganda machine. Obviously, that's why China doesn't want them to be able to use it.
