The upgrades come in Google Play Services now, so OEMS and carriers can't block them. 85% of Android devices are updated by Google now.

You can post on a forum from your mobile device over any available network.

Android Linux moved a billion hardware units last year and this year surpassed the Windows all-time installed base. It is selling above 6x Windows. People using Android have never seen an update mangling this severe, but on Windows it seems a quarterly thing. This whole "Windows rules the world" thing is becoming absurd. Windows rules a small and shrinking backwater - the realm where people are willing to tolerate stuff like this.

As I was standing there before the shrine of knowledge completely stunned, another potential patron joined me. For half a minute we stared at the portal that would not open before he turned to me to ask: "They close?"

"I guess so." I replied. We stood there a moment more, as if that would change things. And then we left.

Nobody is going to read this, but in human medical history the only virus to have been eradicated is Smallpox. Polio is almost there.

A spaceport is a long-term big business that will attract all sorts of revenue and jobs. Probably for 50 years or more. They are also not the sort of thing you can fold up overnight and move to Mexico. Texas will get their investment back.

Mozilla was from Netscape. Its provenance predates IE.

Let's extend that "5% is toy" concept to mobile, where Windows Phone is not even that and declining.

Android Linux moved a quarter billion units in Q2. A billion units last year, probably 1.4 billion units this year. Chrome Linux is making huge inroads with logarithmic growth in the thin and light notebook category. Desktops are so last century.

Microsoft thinks computer science education is teaching students how to use Office.

Oh, no. That would be great. And I would only be using 5% of the 300mbps LTE link. I would like that a lot. Maybe I can buy one of those plans on EBay or Craigslist. Will have to look into that.

In terms of market cap Netflix is not that much s!aller than TWC. They could probably handle it.

Netflix in HD is 2.3 GB/hr. If I had one of these grandfathered plans I might be racking up to 12GB/hr and 50 GB/day just for this.

In the US about half of Internet traffic in prime time is Netflix. It would behoove a company that sells Internet service to provision sufficient bandwidth to the part of the Internet their customers are paying so much to access. Maybe Netflix should just get into the fiber business and start collecting that $100/month instead of a measly $12 since they are already providing half the service anyway.
