What I think would be more tempting would be an all-in-one. I'm sure that Asus could build essentially just a monitor with ChromeOS on it, and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse that works natively. It would be slicker than this, and no wires.

This will definitely make 2014 the Year of ChromeOS on the desktop!

It's a fact that I'm experiencing this emotion.

Ken Ham is well spoken and should provide a reasonable point-counterpoint.

I don't think that the idea that we should not wrestle with pigs is the attitude of a responsible scientist. Eventually, all conventional wisdom needs to be challenged. At one time, you'd have been laughed out of a room of distinguished scientists for rejecting geocentricity. An idea has nothing to fear from examination if it is sound.

The fact that it's intellectual/code/electronic/non-physical/content seems to mean it should be free.

Why has Apache started to lose ground?

The MS shills are out in force posting as AC, you mean?

Well, after being responsible for Office 365, what could possibly go wrong?

Going back to what the summary says, IE is usually present on the systems _that haxors want to compromise_.

Corporate machines, which have IE because they are chained to legacy systems that once required it.

Corporate machiens, where access is available to much more valuable data than some grandma's Hotmail password.

Perhaps it's the company which develops the user interface that wants to foist this "one size fits all" model on people, because:

1. They simply don't want to have to keep up with development for both, in terms of effort and cost.

2. They want to herd everyone into a walled garden, so content can all be monetized (in their favor).

3. They want to herd everyone into a walled garden, so the OS can control the machine without having to ask too many questions about it.

It's like that centuries-old saying gunga-gunga-gunga-galunga. Which translated from the classical tongue means, "If your auntie had balls she'd be your uncle."

In Soviet Russia, DHS spots YOU!

More precisely, there really is no way for a journo to know what is dangerous to disclose and what isn't. The only source that could really tell us that are those who the information would embarrass to begin with.
