most companies have factories in China - does that make them Chinese companies?

I feel your pain :). We got an iPad 2 for our office for development purposes. Our art director was thrilled and wouldn't let go of it. Then my other colleague started trying out games and was thrilled. Then it was finally my turn. I decided I will read one ebook I had for some time. So I approached this "problem" as I would on android - I dropped the ebook on my dropbox and installed dropbox on the iPad, I logged in and... found out I can not just download the files into the iPad... I started googling around on how to achieve this, saw the word "iTunes" in all the links on the first page... I returned the iPad to our art director and apart from testing I don't use it at all...

I don't know about you but I have never clicked on the start menu. the windows key has its purpose you know.

and how long have you been using linux? if "ALSA" and "jackd" don't ring a bell then the answer is "not long enough to get the reference"

I'm tired of this. really I am. how long have you been using windows 8? I'm using it on both of my workstations since developer preview came out...

huh? my desktop looks just like my desktop in windows 7. BTW if you really hate the metro interface you can turn it off and have a plain old windows 7 with the more efficient windows 8 core. anyway don't want it? don't use it but stop spreading false information. 10 years ago it was microsoft who spread FUD like crazy - now it's the ubuntards...

I'm sure I've read that m$ has patented a technology for eavesdropping on VOIP communication...

In windows 8 developer preview there was an context menu option to mount iso. in consumer preview this option disappeared but if you open with... the iso and select windows explorer it will mount. I presume that it will be working in the released version aswell... sadly it mounts/opens ONLY iso... I had no luck with other drive image formats.
