What's with this "likely" adjective crap? Did the judge actual use that adjective or did the media add that word? (I did RTFA.) The article quotes are forceful.
So what's with this with "likely" BS? Nobody ever says breaking into somebody's home without permission and stealing stuff is "likely illegal". What's with the double standard?
Brown Zune?
Because he spent 10 seasons of TNG wearing a more advanced (and less stylish) Google Glass.
Dude, this is Slashdot. You're going to get crucified for that imprecision.
7 seasons of TNG + 4 movies.
Generally accepted episode count: 178
an 18 month update window
The iPhone might not be any better (I don't know and don't care) but that's fucking pathetic.
iPhone 3GS shipped with iOS 3.0 in June 17, 2009.
Final iOS update was 6.1.3 in March 19, 2013.

That is 45 months. (Past performance does not guarantee future results.)
Agreed.
Instead of worrying about the perceptions of success/defeat, how about actually making a product that is clearly profitable?
The XBox unit is profitable.

You sure about that? Microsoft Is Making An Astonishing $2 Billion Per Year From Android Patent Royalties
Mod parent up!
For those not willing to read the article:
Microsoft is probably losing $2.5 billion on Skype, Xbox, and Windows Phone. Of that, $2 billion in losses are attributable to the Xbox platform.
I'm often shocked how boards fail to do their due diligence.
HP didn't see the flags of vendor financing problems at Lucent under Carly Fiorina's watch.
Remember Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson who lied about his degree and nobody caught it?
Maybe you're on to something. Since this is invitation-only, presumably VIP guests, maybe the real purpose is to build a "tin foil barge" to prevent snooping from the NSA and even Google itself. (nah)
Here's another problem. The government can call anybody it wants a terrorist group. This just happened in New Hampshire where the police in official filings called the Free State project "domestic terrorists".

Free Staters are made up of mostly libertarians who believe in the non-aggression principle. Their stated goal is to secure their liberty by gaining enough critical mass via representation in the standard election process. By any other definition, this would never qualify as terrorism, but that doesn't stop the government.
Humans are superior!

OMG. Slurm! Well, I learned something today.
[Excerpt from Wikipedia]:
Recently, several companies in Asia and Europe have begun to manufacture dietary supplements and energy drinks which contain synthetic versions of secretions of the larvae of Vespa mandarinia, which the adult hornets usually consume. The manufacturers of these products make claims that consuming the larval hornet secretions (marketed as "hornet juice") will enhance human endurance because of the effect it has on adult hornets' performance.
The parent post didn't deserve to be modded down. It is highly credible that Lua would have a very low defect rate. Lua has a small, clean, source code base, and it was audited by large organizations such as Verisign for high reliability databases and by The Wikimedia Foundation for security.
For large values of one, one equals two, for small values of two.
